((Oh boy, this is going to be awesome!))
Being a rather advantageous business man, Adean was often at some type of business meeting of some type, the locations for these meetings could be anywhere, really. From Sardinia to Sicily to even, on rare ocassions, Greek lands. Today he was attempting to go to Athens in search of increasing the size of his rather small collection of holdings in the Balkans. In all honesty, the Balkans hadn't entirely interested him at first glance, but he had shortly realized that it would be age to have a location or two in at least a province in every area. After this, he'd probably try to invest in some areas in the African provinces.
The journey from his home on the Belares, a nice one, by the way, to the city of Athens was rather lengthy, but he was used to long travels. He was also used to indulging himself ever so slightly during these journeys. He was usually a man who would rather keep himself content with bread and other normal food and drink, but he at times enjoyed a few sips of some wonderful Sicilian wine, which he often praised for it's flavor.
Upon reaching the province of Athens, Adean couldn't help but enjoy the bits of scenery he saw at the docking station. Here he was, in one of the provinces best known for holding the great Greek empire. He couldn't enjoy the scenery for too long, though. He needed to set himself up a little base here. A basic shop would be decent enough for now, so he had set off to find one.
Adean looked at all the shops and other areas of interest that he passed, wondering what would be the best for him. Obviously, he wasn't going to just completely but the store, no. He'd set up a dealership with the owner, split the profits together and both of them would attempt at expanding the store. Usually after a while, the store would become more grand and prosperous, receiving more yearly income, with a little over half of it going to him.
It didn't take him much walking before he came across a small shop that looked like it could use a bit of a redesign, as well as some actual customers. Adean grinned upon seeing the store. It looked like a bit of a challenge, but with a bit of hard work, he could work with the owner to make this store a better place. So, with that said, he had entered the store, enthusiasm shown in the way he walked alone, but his eyes showed even more enthusiasm. The owner, who was currently at the counter, had looked at him as he entered. He looked like a dirty man who clearly needed a better wardrobe as well. The owner alone made it obvious the store wasn't as successful as it could be.
Adean smiled at the owner. "I've a deal for you, good sir!" He said, his voice holding confidence, but it also having a friendly tone as he walked towards the counter. Of course, if the man was not bilingual, he did know a bit of Greek, the perks of being a businessman.
A few hours, and maybe a wine glass or two, as successful meetings were usually followed by celebration, later, Adean had exited the store, his face in a wide smile. He had did it, and he had bought the store! He had told the owner that he'd come by in a few weeks for discussion on redesigning and improving, and he was planning on keeping to his word, he needed to go home and do some planning. He had a new business to run, and to plan for!
((Woo! That was actually rather fun to type! Hopefully interaction with other people's characters is a possibility. This fine Irish gentleman is going to need a bit more on the relations side of things of he's to succeed!))
