chair next to his friend and picked up a few sheets of paper crumbling on the tabletop. He looked through them only vaguely and threw them back in their place.-They really do this kind of business in the middle of the night?
-You mean cooperation proposals, some kind of commercial grievances and all those complaints?-The ambassador pointed to a bundle of evenly stacked sheets of paper.-They come with it at any time of the day or night. Fortunately for me, more often a day.-He added, smiling forcedly.-Today will be even worse, because there is to be a diplomatic ball at the home of one of the counts, I can't remember which one, and that means that not only will I not get to bed in the evening again, but I will probably return in the morning again without time to sleep.
-You weren't lying when you said it was really bad, though.- Darius nodded and smiled at his friend.-In spite of everything, I believe that you will succeed. You will find a way, anyway, as you always do. You'll just feel sorry for yourself and then you'll come up with an ingenious solution to make everything work like clockwork.
-I'm glad you said that.- Othis smiled, this time sincerely.-It is possible that a plan is already germinating in my head, but it will have to wait for now. There's too much going on, it's possible that things will calm down a bit over the winter and then I'll see what I can do.
- Then you'll have to wait a few more months.- Bleist laughed quietly.-I hope you'll have come up with something by then that won't have to wait.
-I wish.-The diplomat replied gloomily.-Enough about me. Tell me what your plans are for today?
-I thought I'd take a little walk again.-Darius leaned back in his chair and looked out of the window at the gardens.-Maybe somewhere by the Verde River and around.
-He still keeps bothering you?
-You know me.-The officer shrugged his shoulders.-If something interests me I pursue it to the end.
-Then I'll help a bit
