I'm of the same mind, Mister Silco. It'd be the same if any of mine took work with you.
Besides, getting to know the people around you is important in business too -- we were taught that even if you don't intend to partner with them, [ because that's all that matters, friendship was never up for discussion, ] knowing their preferences and interests helps in the long run.
[ for planning with or against, to understand the other's movements, so on. it doesn't make her happy... but she is thankful she was taught it now anyway, since it's proven worthwhile in many ways here. ]
And in general it's good to know if someone'll pick up on the first, second, or third ring. It's pretty interesting that even something so small says a lot, huh?
You are not incorrect. It's also best to know who you can tap and when.
[ Who has what weaknesses. Whom they look to for advice, or in a pinch. What someone would be swayed by. It's all necessary information, and the type that Silco collects and hoards. People are so much more... willing to play along, when they are getting what they want, after all. And so willing to share, when they think they have a friend nearby.
Not that Silco thinks he will be that to Malkuth, but this sort of coordination would have its uses. Even if they both eye each other warily.
Perhaps even moreso, because of it. ]
And who you can rely on in an emergency. Even the small signs are critical, where I am from. Who will respond quickly is... always going to be required knowledge.
