The life of a Namer was a hard one.
Even if one wanted to avoid the grunt work of running taxation, it was still upon them that fell the most thankless and unsatisfying job of them all. Archiving. An endless cycle of bureaucracy that would almost make a Guvner blush. Karsperus was naturally more inclined towards this sort of work whenever he was fulfilling his faction duties. He found strongarming people in the streets for coppers gauche.
It was as he took a break in the entry hall of the Hall of Records that he was surprised to find a parcel waiting for him in the front desk. Unoppened, too. Perhaps he had at least earned that much from his Entrope hunt. One step at a time. The former Baron sighed as he started to go through its contents with a slight lift of the brow.
Saadi's request was not entirely off-base, but it put Karsperus in a difficult position. He was a Namer still, and the request that had been made of his Factors appeared to be taken care of in its entirety. What this meant, was that any hiccup in the process would be political in nature, and unfortunately Kars still lacked the pawns he could use in the Great Game. They would have to meet if she wanted more of him, for the time being the only role Karsperus could play was a reactive one.
Instead, a letter would find its way back to its recipient. As if spirited away, it would find itself one day in a pocket, on a table or stool, somewhere that would attract the attention of the one it was directed to. A succint letter which clearly mirrored his previous thoughts.

From my observation there appears to be nothing inherently wrong with the request you have made of the Fated Factors. It is my belief that it is unlikely that your request will be denied for anything other than political factors. I lack the political clout to be currently able to push your request through, and only the ability to intervene and negotiate with the parties involved if it is declined.
I believe that we should meet regardless, so you can inform me further on this matter. I am sure that you know as well as I do how powerful the well applied use of information can be when trying to push one's agenda. It may open avenues I believe otherwise to be closed to me in this matter.
