Long friends
Bolitho and Boden share a history of friendship. Despite not seeing much business together, the families get along very well and have for decades.
Over a century ago Boden designed and built smithies and foundries for Galtey-Inch, many of are still in use. Galtey-Inch see this as superb craftsmanship and have no bad thing to say about them.
Friendly
Boden calls up Clymo when they require blessings for their work, and Clymo obliges, thanking them for their consideration. Boden has also provided Clymo with structural support and infrastructure of high quality.
Friendly
Austell and Boden share dealings going back hundreds of years. When Bolitho needs equipment, manpower, or recognition, Austell helps them out. Some distant cousins are even married.
Agreeable
There is not much interaction between these two Houses. They don't disagree, and their few dealings were placid.
Business transactions
Gynn and Boden have had little interaction. Boden has done work on House Gynn, and Gynn compensated handsomely.
Dislike
Once, Godden asked for new chambers which Boden provided for a discount. There was some communication mishap and Godden thought they would receive much more for less, and Boden believed the same. Both parties tried to come to an agreement, but the situation soured when it was found out a Boden husband had consensually slept with several Godden daughters, one who was married. This drama was the talk of the city for a while, and some still reference it.
