[Silco was known back in Zaun to be generous to those who were loyal to him. He trickled down the benefits of his own endeavors, and the same rang true here in Aldrip. After all, what was money when he literally could just make more? Of course, he had to be careful to not tank the entire economy, hence why he slowly injected it in through his businesses, but the more that he had, the more he could spread and benefit himself and those that were close to him.
After all, some loyalty was bought and paid for, reinforced with a strong hand on what disloyalty would bring about. His loyalty to Richard was built on the foundation of their personal secrets, and if anything, he considered that far stronger than some of the others he associated with.
He subtly leaned into that touch to his chin, mismatched eyes studying the younger man to discern if his offer had caused offence. After all, Richard came across as rather independent, yet he saw his lover toil away the days in the forest earning coin as one in Zaun might. He hadn't asked if it bothered Richard, but he suspected it did, especially considering the rage the younger man informed him of. Prove them wrong. Prove all the doubters wrong.]
If your interest wanes with the inn, I will buy it off of you. [He paused to consider the question, his fingers touching the younger man's elbow. How far did his vision go? He wasn't called the Eye of Zaun for being short-sighted.] Honestly, I think this is merely a start, but how far you'll go depends on your ambition, your support network, and your adaptability. I think your potential is great.
