Elder Rostellum absolutely did not want to leave Gaga County; he just couldn't bear to see that heap of gold coins fall into someone else's pocket. So he replied to the City Administrative Office with a Mail Bird, saying his abilities were meager and he couldn't possibly handle that position. Back then the Alchemy Workshop had tried to recruit him too, but he'd turned them down as well—he had no intention of giving up his freedom to toil for those big shots. As far as he was concerned, all he needed to do was look after the shiny yellow stuff.
But the reply from the City Administrative Office was even shorter: he was to pack his bags at once and report to his new post. They didn't leave him a shred of room to negotiate.
That was what really gave him a headache. He could only try to negotiate with the City Administrative Office by resigning from all his positions, insisting he truly had no interest whatsoever in this Administrative Assistant position.
