"Well said." Satisfied with that answer, Oli lightly clapped and nodded. "In that case, I'm willing to offer you and your family more. As for whether the others will join us for the new moon auction… I wouldn't be against it. But so much will happen that I'll only let them join if they agree to the same conditions as you. And I don't yet know if I want to offer that to them.
"But we'll get into those details later. For now, let's relax and enjoy the auction. It should be starting soon."
The duo chatted for about half an hour and even ordered a couple more appetizers while they waited. Oli also used the time to skim through his new moon auction catalog, but it was fairly short and incomplete since it was still suns away.
