[Non-performing asset liquidation specialist? Bradley doesn't like the sound of that. He won't discount that the title could be just a title, and that his actual job is something else, but Bradley has performed his own kind of 'asset liquidation' in the past and he can guess what that means. The warning glance sure helps to reinforce that. Bradley is tempted to speak up there, but he'll give the Prince and the Sage time to do their thing first.
Regardless, he's decided to go be buddy-buddy with this IPC representative later, to see what he's up to.
For now though, the Prince is smiling and giving a heartfelt response to Aventurine's words.]
"That is our hope too. The stars have been previously inaccessible to us, and getting a Jumpstart towards the future would benefit us. Though I must ask: what is it you seek from us? The cooperation of witches and wizards? Or is it something else?"
[Prince Arthur is kind and optimistic, but he isn't a fool. If the IPC is asking for cooperation, then it's because they want something from his people. He just hopes that Aventurine isn't actually looking for witches and wizards, because they are a notoriously uncooperative bunch. He can't promise cooperation himself, given his duties as the Prince. And of the few wizards that do cooperate, they all have duties to protect this world from the Great Calamity already. It's a tough spit to be in, Arthur kind of hopes the IPC just wants resources.]
