Well... he had tried to recruit you once before. And here you are, in your panoply, looking competent to fight. His eyes blink, then flash, and he offers you a hand to clamber down into the dust of the arena, then races over to the ongoing conversation between the chief attendant and Luigiano, leader of the Lancers.

"Hey! Hey, we've got a reserve sub! She just needs a minute to get into uniform, but she'll brawl!" Daniele presents you to his leader, who looks surprised and a little skeptical - but he does have to look up to you, so that helps.

The hard-working, exhausted chief attendant rubs his face. "Come on, Daniele; the league's had rules against crowd-pulls for years now. Favours home teams too strongly, ironically enough, but they are what they are. You can't just anoint someone from the crowd a formal member of the Gallants and dive right it. She's got to be a tax-paying Verezzan with atleast three..." He raises three fingers on his hand, to emphasise, "...remunerated lethal engagements. If she ain't done merc-work, she ain't doing merc-play."

"You can send an accountant to Verezzo to confirm her taxes with the clerk's guild after the bout - if we're lying, we'll give back the winnings. As for the engagements, err..." Daniele looks at you helplessly at that one. He remembers scoping you for mercenary work... but definately can't say if you've been in three lethal fights and been in some way financially compensated for them. That much, he is hoping against hope, you'll supply for yourself.
