Cicero listened to the man intently. He rejected his original offer but lowered the price to 170. Cicero grinned extended his hand again and replied,

[color=orange][center]"Deal. The name's Cicero. I'll save the vial for later."[/center][/color]
After shaking hands, Cicero handed over 170 silvers. Cicero would glance around briefly. Then he returned his gaze to the man. He seemed to have experience and knowledge of things that were in another sphere then the one Cicero usually ran in. Notably, alchemic concoctions and the like. It was a bold question to inquire, but it was worth asking,

[color=orange][center]"This may sound like a strange thing to ask, but would you consider being my coach for the duration of this tournament? I would pay you part of the winnings. On top of your bets, it would make you a very wealthy man.[/center][/color]
He didn't exactly expect the man to agree. His experience could prove invaluable, so Cicero hoped that prize money would be worth it to him.
