"Tell me when he'll see me. I'll be over there!" he said then slowly made his way to the rock post and then reclined on it. Zoro stood watch on his chest. The wait wasn't very lengthy and soon one of the novices came over to him and woke him up. "It's your turn!" the novice informed him, and taking his pack with him, Boyce entered the Cathedral grounds, following the novice and ending up at the door of the lands-office. The boy left him there and knocked on the door before entering, not caring to wait for permission to do so. The office was strange-looking for a lands-office. It had two floors and was full of books on both floors. In the middle of the office was a rather large table where the estates cardinal was sitting with his nose in a large book in which he was writing something. He finally looked up from his book after Boyce sat down in a chair opposite him and Zoro jumped down on the table in front of him. Overhead, standing against a railing, on the second floor, Cardinal Orren looked down at the strange young man and his even stranger pet. He wanted to hear what this wandering fool wanted in his office. "You are Boyce Loebh?" the estates Cardinal asked him. "Yes!" "How can we be made of service, Mister Loebh?" the Cardinal asked him. "I am looking to buy some property with a habitable building on it. What I am seeking, is something that is quite large." The Cardinal looked at him for a moment then stood up and went to a flat shelf and brought back a large portfolio of sketches. "I have here some twenty sketches of sturdy buildings on good property. Of course, most are probably out of your wealth capability." "I would like to see whatever you have available regardless of the cost!" "Very well!" submitted the cardinal and he handed Boyce the archaic looking portfolio. Orren, from above had grown a little more suspicious and mistrusting of Boyce. What's more, Orren detested Zoro's presence. Boyce was dressed in clean clothing and he didn't smell as bad as when he first stepped into Pomperaque with Lloyd. He really loved his loyal women in Gothal for giving their dirty clothing back to them. It was that necessary little detail which helped to cause confusion in many people's eyes. For sure Orren didn't understand how a rogue like Boyce could be so unaffected when he was told that he would most likely not be able to afford that which he sought. Boyce went over every drawn likeness of the houses that were available, seeming quite uninterested in any one of them, including the Blue Mansion, which has had passed over. "They are all well and nice, Cardinal, but I am searching for a large place with atmosphere. I, and my friend, are artisans and scholars, and we were hoping to use such a building, in-part, to expand your own Blaisaman; where we could teach the arts and other human studies." The Cardinal sat down, at his side of the table, and questioned him further about his proposed academy.
