[ "Mostly boats sir. Are you in the market for one? I can craft one to your wishes. ", "\"Ah, hm. Actually, not for me, but I have been discussing naval matters with your king. Do you work for the navy?\"", "Not officially sir but I have been commissioned by the King to build boats for the navy. ", "\"Ah, good, good. That's exactly what I'm looking for. You see, we've been discussing a naval expansion - we lack boat craftsmen, but can afford to pay experienced craftsmen handsomely. Would you be interested?\"", "Why of course! It would be an honor to serve the Empire. Say, does that mean the King is preparing for a war? I don't mean to be privy. ", "\"Well, one must always be prepared. To defend the coast, to explore and trade, or to go to war\"", "I see, you are quite right. An empire as mighty as ours' must be well equipped to coast the oceans! ", "\"How many men work for you or with you? We may be interestd in hiring all of you.\"", "Currently me and my son sir. You see, we like to maintain our quality standards by overseeing the process ourselves. ", "\"A very good practice, but unfortunately that's just not enough manpower. Of course we'd be interested in hiring you first, but can you think of any others you'd recommend?\"", "Well, the craftsmen's guild has some excellent workers. Seasoned craftsmen, about twenty of them!", "\"Ah, good, good! And can you tell me where to meet the guildmaster?\"" ]
