Documents, shipping manifests, trade agreements... we've been going through his office to get an idea of what we're looking at. [He pauses, taking another deep breath.] I even give you money to play the Exchange.
[Which required a lot of trust and thought. He knew Jesper couldn't completely kick the habit so why not play the Exchange where it could benefit them? They weren't betting the same odds and so far he hasn't taken any risky ventures.
There's a longer pause this time, his heart pounding in his chest. What does that all mean for us here, Wy?]
I don't know. [It's small, quiet, and he looks away from Jesper when he says it.]
