Own plenty of those, too. Merchant's guild, my family trades in businesses, not goods. Got a hand in most any trade you could name.
But, don't remind me. Still can't get the owner of my favorite tavern to sell to me. Stubborn old coot. All I managed was a permenant residence for the best room, and an open tab for ale and food.
He thinks I didn't notice the price hike he's been notching up, either, but I guess that'll come to another round of blows when the price actually exceeds buying a house of my own in the city.
