Wow, Mr. P, your schedule reminds me of when I used to be on my feet all the time at my old job. You guys talk a lot about trade, huh? Does Cohdopia, like, import a lot of stuff?

The Borginian and Zheng Fa ambassadors sound kinda' immature. I dunno what they were fighting about, but it looks like sometimes even ambassadors can act like high schoolers, huh?

Oh yes! I usually work all day, every day. Though occasionally I take a day off or declare a goodwill day. I don't mind, however, because I love my job.

Yesterday was a rather trade-oriented day. I speak with diplomats and government officials concerning many aspects of international politics. Imports and exports are both crucial issues.

Those two particular ambassadors are both friends of mine, but they don't get along very well with each other, so I often mediate conflicts between them. Tempers can become quite heated in political debates! They're both passionate about their views, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but there's a lot to be said for calming down as well.

Aren't you a busy little butterfly? It sounds like you do your job well. A man who can keep the peace is a man we owe a debt of gratitude.

I'm glad you liked my suggestion. I think this is the first time in my life I've been responsible for inspiring a coupon. I'm flattered.

I've really been enjoying the coffee, Colias. Thanks.

Oh, you're very funny, Mr. Armando! I do like your jokes. You're also quite kind. I thank you.

It's my pleasure, of course. I appreciate the suggestion. I love to receive new coupon ideas.

I'm delighted that you like the Cohdopian coffee. Perhaps it's not as well-known as Italian or French coffees, but I feel it has its own distinct charms. I hope it's made your days a little brighter.

Achtung, Herr Ambassador, your schedule is fuller than even mine, and that is saying something. I hope you party as hard as you work. Busy men like us deserve it!

You have two jobs, Mr. Gavin, so I'm sure you work at least as much as I do. And you're so young! When I was your age, I was still working in my parents' store. Your dedication is impressive.

I'm not sure if I party, but I do try to have a good time when I can.

Ah, well, both my jobs are in fields I have a great passion for, so it is not so trying. And I really don't believe my day is as nonstop as yours, but now you have me curious. I think I will take notes tomorrow on how my time is spent.

I am glad to hear it. You deserve to have fun where you can get it, ja?

I know exactly what you mean, Mr. Gavin. I have a great passion for diplomacy myself, so often the work doesn't feel like work at all.

If you do take notes, I'd be very interested to read them. prosecutor and musician are both fascinating careers.

Yes, I feel it's best to enjoy life as much as you can!

And I just noticed the part about ambarrken. I think I had that once. Do you have a personal chef in the embassy?

You've had ambarrken? It's quite good, isn't it? A very hearty meal.

I do have a chef! Not exactly a personal chef, but she cooks my meals for me, and she's an expert in the field of Cohdopian cuisine. We often have formal dinners at the embassy, and we entertain government officials and diplomats from all over the world, so it's necessary to maintain an excellent kitchen here.

Very cool.

Do they serve her ambarrken in the public cafe? I do have fond memories of that meal.

As a matter of fact, ambarrken is one of the dishes I suggested she add to the café menu, and she said she'd be happy to do so, so yes, they do!

If you do come by the embassy, I'll make sure that you receive a complimentary bowl of ambarrken, Mr. Gavin, since you like it so much.

I think your schedule is one of the busiest I've ever seen. There are some things that sound like fun, though - like your visit from the orphans, and your talk with your husband. It's nice that you talk every night - it must be hard being apart.

I'm not surprised that Diego suggested that coupon.
Thanks for sharing your day with us.

I suppose it does look busy written out like that, but a lot of it is enjoyable, or at least interesting, so it doesn't feel as busy as it looks.

Oh yes, we do talk almost every night. It is difficult, being apart, but we manage. We're both very independent, and we love our jobs, so we manage to make it work.

Yes, Mr. Armando certainly likes his coffee, that can't be denied! I think he must now be the foremost expert on Cohdopian coffee in this country, after me.

You're very welcome, Mr. Ken. Thank you for the kind words.
