Having a travel permit is
Fortune's Market's right,
as it is our responsibility.

Since you sealed off the roads,
I guess you're okay with our cargo
shipments not going to the capital?

That's not what I'm saying!

It's just like Nordopolica. What gives the
Knights -- protectors of the people --
the right to oppress them?

The Imperial Knights don't
need your permission to do
what needs to be done.

I can see we're not going to reach
an agreement like this. Now, if
you would please let me pass?

Wait...!

Sadly, what that official
said is right.

Yuri Lowell? And you,
aren't you with Altosk?

What a happy surprise
ta be remembered by
such a lovely lady.

Perhaps Altosk is planning
on sticking its nose into the
business of Fortune's Market?

Nah, I just came ta ask
fer yer cooperation.
As a member of the Union.

Our cooperation?

Help us make the Union
as strong as it useta be.

Fortune's Market is one of the
pillars of the Union. Or aren't ya?

I'm sure ya know how important
the Union is fer the guilds.

We'll all just get trampled on
if we don't work together.

...This, from someone who's been
parading all over the world with
Yuri for the past how many weeks?

Altosk has already mobilized.
That's why I'm out here
gatherin' information.

I hear you've been traveling as
the Don's right-hand man, and
watching the Imperial Knights.

All right, let's do it. We'll save face
for you and the Don and promote
the rebuilding of the Union.

I'm glad you're as
decisive as they say.

It is an honor to be recognized as
such by someone so well-versed in
negotiations with the Empire.

Please, ya flatter me. I've just
lived long enough ta get a little
clever about these things.

I hope that I can do the same.
Now, if you'll excuse me.

Raven, I'm impressed at how well
you dealt with an imposing lady
like Miss Kaufman!

Compared to the Don,
she was nothin'.

Yeah. The Don was
more...impressive.

Don't just agree with me!
Where's the “But Raven,
you were awesome!”

Huh? B-but...

Come on, let's go.
