It is. I'm familiar enough with how the stock market works at home, but we [ yes, we ] are looking at a foreign market with a variety of different factors to consider. It would be most efficient and lucrative to have trustworthy native specialists on the payroll given the circumstances.
[ Which is saying a lot in not so many words, but then, Setsura has given this matter a lot of thought and she doesn't mind showing Rohan a figurative glimpse of her hand. ]
I say trustworthy because there are also criminal organizations that call this city home and it's likely they've got their hands deeply in business and finance as certain organizations at home. It isn't simply a matter of seeking a trustworthy individual, but one who keeps to clean demichroma and behaves professionally with the client's interest as a clear priority. We profit, he profits, and he does not endanger our mutual profit.
It sounds fairly straightforward. So to measure trustworthiness, I'm going to guess we're going to need a preview of some previous decision making with their clients' money. Admittedly, the stock market hasn't ever been something I explored. So I imagine knowing success of previous people they've worked with has some value.
[ To say he has't explored is as good as saying he has no idea. Rohan is historically bad with money, and notorious for just using it on frivolous things. He owned a large house for himself, and a lot of novelties from pop culture. SO this is unheard of for him . And while he's done much better with his pursuits here than he had been doing when he first arrived, it can always be better. ]
Finding someone who isn't a criminal should be the easiest part of it - the rest could take a little bit of time depending on how many you have.
[ Good thing she can see...his stand. It might take some time to evaluate them individually, but it's going to be faster than having conversations. ]
[ Faster and in certain critical ways more efficient than conversation is Setsura's thinking. This matter isn't one she wants to leave open with a wider margin for error, so this is best and may serve to assist Rohan as well. For a person like Rohan, who isn't a people person, let alone touchyfeely, it's ideal. Income through moonlacing isn't a problem for her, but she'd just as soon not have to rely on it in terms of her finances when she doesn't have to. Her energy needs are already entwined with that activity, after all. All her sitting capital can go to work for her. She'll build and build and build and build. ]
I'm also interested in their moral compunction and their mental fortitude.
[ Morally upright with a particular strength of will, that's what she wants, what she needs. She has no intention of engaging in criminal enterprises, but that doesn't mean the involvement of Moonblessed in the business sector won't draw eyes. Purchasable loyalty has its value, but so, too, does this. ]
We're looking for a clam who keeps a flawless pearl in the murky sea bed.
[ Her last message gives him pause as he processes it. Eventually, he pieces everything together and he nods, though she can't see it. ]
I understand.
[ Does he? Mostly. He's a writer, after all. ]
We'll find someone clean, then. There are chances there will be some that are quick sneak peaks. I'll know fast that they aren't someone you'd want to do business with.
[ There's always keywords to look for when it involves criminal. ]
But they won't be able to hide anything from us.
[ The Chroma portion does concern him a little bit, since he's not quite sure how many he will have to work through. ]
[ But there are certain relevant matters she's considered. The cost of using his Stand and how to address that is one of them. ]
It has been a moment since we shared our abilities in Nevei, but I haven't forgotten how taxing actively using Heaven's Door can be.
[ She'd been keen on familiarizing herself with his Stand when it had been in her possession and in using it to attempt to learn and clarify certain matters. She hadn't turned up any sort of major discovery outside of the quiet confirmation that Prismal civilians really didn't seem to know much in the way of what she'd been wanting and that in itself had been both disappointing and frustrating. Still, then and now. ]
If you're comfortable with it, I'd like you to consider holding my hand to generate Chroma. I can hardly return you home to Reimi-san drained, you know.
[ Or hungry. She's already considering what to make for Rohan to take home for him, Reimi, and Arnold-chan. ]
[ It makes him happy to read her text - not just that she has faith in him, but the fact that she offered to hold his hand. If only because she clarifies that if it is something he is comfortable with. It makes him happy to know that she's still respecting those boundaries he's set up around himself. And that's exactly why she's as important as she is.
His answer doesn't actually show any of the notes that it makes him happy because he thinks he'd be okay with it. But he won't know until he needs the Chroma. ]
I think I'd be fine if I returned to my girlfriend a little Chroma drained.
[ She's quick on the uptake, but her focus has been on business, so it does take her a second to put together what he's dismissing. That sees her pause a minute, but she'll let it... go. It's really rather cute. ]
When and where would you like to meet? I can be out the door in the next fifteen minutes if you're free.
