Rilg tried not to take offense at her comments. Some people believed that Ferengi were all just out for latinum and nothing else. Like most races there were variations. He nodded in response. "I definitely do not fit what most people would consider the 'traditional' Ferengi, Madam Ambassador. That is not to say that I don't have an interest in things of value."
Valtris nodded. "You also seem to be much more interested in the politics of Council discussion than I would have expected. Ferengi tend to get involved in galactic politics only for their own needs."
"I think you will find that the Ferengi are not what you think, Ambassador Valtris. We are different from all of the other powers on the Diplomatic Council. We are not a geographic unit based on military might or diplomatic union. Instead, we are brought together through economics. That does not mean that we are not interested in galactic politics ... just that we look at it differently. Our strengths and interests are just different."
Valtris was amazed by how well Ambassador Rilg stood his ground. She had not intended her comments as an insul, but it was clear that he was not happy with what she said. He had in fact defende his people, and done so quite well. "My apologies, Ambassador. My statements were not meant to be derogatory, but just to express my good impression of your involvement at the meeting, particularly considering the fact that you are a new member to the group."
