"I'll just have a medium signature coffee," Yan said after an absent glance, then moved back to the man to sit across him, expecting the bill to come to him later.
"I'm intrigued by your abilities, just as I'm intrigued by Puar's," he said, fixing a napkin in front of himself, not wishing to take the librarian off the table, or his temporary loyalty. "There's rumors on how your powers work, but nothing concrete, that means no one knows exactly what your limits are."

Trade Master
"I see," he stated while the waitress nodded.
"Cream and sugar?" She asked.
"Two sets of information that I have in my possession," Trade said while closing his eyes as if recollecting some kind of memory or thought. He then opened them, his eyes were different from the calm brown and had turned into a fuchsia that was glowing.
"I would not mind trading both sets of information if you are willing to connect me to your source of connections. You may benefit additionally letting me in -- in the long run."

"Yes, please," Yan said easily, before looking back to Trade Master.
"Okay," he said, seeming to agree far to easy. "Here you are," he continued pointing at himself with another closed eyed grin, "connected."
It was probably not the answer the man wished to receive but he had no other one. "If you want the source of specific information, that's different," he explained, "but the source of my connections, that's quite frankly, me."
Sitting back he looked up, considering if there was any other answer. Juturna? But really, she was just one source, and she wasn't going to pretend she was Yan for someone, which she would have to do to weasel out certain knowledge. Even then, her confidentiality contract was very hard to sift through.
"I've spent countless years in my boredom building an information network that spans across the galaxy with more sources than I can count. It's a bit in repair currently, maybe at seventy five percent, but its a nice hobby."

He grinned as if that was the exact answer he was looking for. "So then it is a deal," he said while taking out his phone from his pocket and sliding it across the table. It already was at the screen which showed a QR code, which when scanned would add Trade's contact information as well as give him Yan's.
"We are officially connected, and maybe we can drive that seventy five percent up to a hundred with a bit more effort."
The waitress nodded and she moved off to get their orders. As she did Trade's eyes simmered down to its brown again.
"My ability isn't fed off of just one simple thing to explain, it is a combination of skills. The one witnessed just now was a skill that shifts through the value of an asset...
"An example simply is the information of my ability and Puar's. I then am flooded with possible assets that can equal that needed asset, in that example it would be connecting with you.
"Furthermore, my office building is 9 floors, but 8 of them are vaults of various things, powers, and even ideals that I have collected over the eons -- unfortunately showing my age there. It is rare that I run into an asset that I can't find a suitable trade for, but it can happen. Which is why I am always accepting of connections. Keep my options fresh."

"You know, QR codes can hold vicious malware," Yan said, waving his finger at Trade Master like the man might try it, put removed his own phone and allowed it anyway. Juturna would probably be offended, but it wouldn't actually harm her.
He gave the man another grin at the aspect of bringing it back to one hundred percent, not at the idea of his help, but knowing if he alone just put a bit more effort in, he'd be fine, but he was a tad bit lazy with every thing else going on.
Then he went on to explain. The power itself was interesting, and understandable for his profession, though his answer of having most of his trade tools already piled up in a building was a bit disappointing, if that's all he had. Of course, it was only a bit, because that's what three way trades were for. He traded for what he didn't have that his client wanted with something he did have and then traded that with the client for something he wanted, bam, bam, bam.
Trading with a realm seemed kind of difficult though, even if it possessed the same powers he did.
"Here I was hoping you had some magical ability to snip snap any wish as long as you paid equal cost," Yan said keeping his smile, as if the notion were more amusing, something he'd find more interesting, then something he actually genuinely wanted.

"I avoid using magic when possible. I am an ancestor of the Namekian race, if that helps a bit. Wish power takes a lot of power especially trying to use it consistently. Even the dragon balls must go on a hiatus to regather power. I have not made a trade that required me to use wish power in decades, " he said while also looking down at his own body before looking back up. "This isn't my true form. This form is a bit -- more easier to look at than our real ones. I suspect my brother Name Master still goes uncloaked -- he never cared about his appearance as much as Soul and I."
He cleared his throat though and got back on track. "As for Puar's ability or source of power. Distora, one of the Creation Gods -- a Kai. When Puar attacked us, vengeance clouding her sense of reasoning, she was already a difficult foe and against the three of us she held her own for a bit. It was when she tapped into that power -- that is when we stood no chance. I was shocked that two of us survived, but of course the intervention of the Keliouxian Empire aided in that.
"That was not the first time we have ever encountered that celestial woman. We have served under her when she was at full prominence and before she was banished and executed -- no executed is a very light term. She was erased out of existence in our universe. It was a shock to us that she was here. No one from the Seven should be here. That is another story, before I get too off topic, let me be a little clearer. She is equivalent to the Lahana race in this universe -- but more like their goddess. She is a Goddess of Creation, and a ruthless one at that -- or was. At full power she could change entire planets, if they were weak enough. I am afraid Puar has not tapped into the full potential of that woman, and I am more afraid that one day she will and have no clue what to do with it without corruption."

Yan listened, not showing his thoughts on the matter. The black star balls were useful, but the normal balls were not. What he wanted may or may not be obtainable by Trade Master, but if he hadn't wished for something in decades, the price might be quite steep.
"It's much easier to sell a service with a pleasant face," Yan said. He wouldn't have minded a true face, he rarely did, but the man was running a business and it would do little good if his customers went running at the sight of his face. It was a sad truth of the world, but a truth none the less.
