Sinclair noticed a certain change in the Ryccian audience. He knew that something was off, but he couldn't quite point to it. Flickerman introduced a new topic and Sinclair noticed it. Previously he might have thought of Flickerman as an extravagant idiot, but perhaps there was more to it. After a quick consideration he decided to follow Flickerman's bait. He knew the Ryccians best and there was no malice in him. He didn't push for his military service, which could only deter the current relations. Everyone could stand behind a family!

"Oh, there are plenty of them. Surely you can understand that choosing your favourite moment is quite difficult when you have a large family. But... "

That's it! Stoinian-Ryccian cooperation!

"I suppose the most appropriate one would be one from just a week ago. My wife and I visited my aide, Foixon Perushan. Both our parents were there as well. Apparently both our parents had met each other at the ball in Princess Elena's honour. They are both carpenters you see and had discussed their common interest with one another. Later that evening the finals decision was made. Both our fathers agreed to make a new joint carpentry company: Sinushan Inc.. Bringing peace to the sector, one couch at a time!"

The Ryccian audience laughed at the slogan. It showed promise and cooperation was possible with the Stoinians. Sinclair then would try a sly trick on Flickerman. He moved his body in the couch rather forced, as if he wasn't comfortable. This was all an act, but one which may prove a good PR stunt for Sinushan Inc.

"You know Mr. Flickerman... This couch you have doesn't quite sit well. I know a good Stoinian fellow and a smart Velpan who can make you a new one."

As Sinclair said those words, he gave a grinning smile to Caesar. He was getting quite comfortable with the situation and was willing to enhance the experience for everyone.
