[Slipping back in some time closer to day 3 morning than day 2 evening, after all the sexing is finished. Someone's been out exploring Borja territory.]

Have I missed anything terribly important?

[inonecard]

[ Oh good because that would have been an awkward time to chat. Eos is clothed and put back together by then, in a very good mood because reasons. ]

Ah, simply deals a plenty.

[direstnews]

What manner of deals?

[inonecard]

Unfortunately, an exchange of meals appears to be what most families prefer to start with, but at least we are now more knowledgeable of the resources available from most of them.

[direstnews]

Who is it that we've feeding arrangements with, thus far?

[inonecard]

An open feeding arrangement with Ichibei has been set, with their resource an option as well should you feel such a thirst. After that introductory meal with Aristophanes, I have high hopes that we will settle on a positive arrangement for their resource.

Uruk, I believe, has no interest in an exchange of meals, but purely our information for access to their baths and bathing supplies.

[direstnews]

They seem the sort to drive a hard bargain.

[inonecard]

Yes, I rather suspect that they would not deal with us if they needn't have to.

[direstnews]

Any words on what caused the rift, such as it is?

Or are they suspicious by nature?

[withswagger]

[what a good kid]

Apart from our busy Governess, we've allegiances to decide on.

[direstnews]

[Right? It's almost like he expected it and gave you guys privacy or something.]

Sooner is better than later, I'd expect.

[withswagger]

I hear tell Ichibei wants something exclusive, which puts a knot in our plans.

[direstnews]

We'll want for a great deal by way of resources, if we give in to that demand.

[withswagger]

They can't mean limit trading - they would cripple themselves as well.

[direstnews]

In terms of alliance, then?

[withswagger]

They would be our one and only.

A romantic notion, to be sure. And one that may last us the whole of the war. It also means that whoever they choose if not us, they intend to be a steadfast force. There are but six of us, and paranoia can cripple any coupling.

[direstnews]

Although the question begs itself: are they the romantics, or do they hope that we are?

[supraliminally]

[WELL. now that the debauchery is finished yukari is properly covered up. beaming when she sees him.]

Ah, little brother. A few deals, really. We'll be getting soap and such.

[direstnews]

That is something to look forward to.

It's fortunate our robe are red, else the streams would have stained the washing relentlessly already.

[supraliminally]

[AND THEY SHOULD HIDE BLOODSTAINS, TOO]

I'm fond of the color as well... what have you been up to today, Robin?

[direstnews]

[Shh, we don't speak of that.]

This and that. We'd so much ground, and all of it unfamiliar. Home turf is scarcely an advantage if you don't know the whole of it.

[supraliminally]

Just so. I'm off to see Ching Shih tomorrow, I think. Would you like to join me?

[direstnews]

I'd not mind an excursion.

[supraliminally]

[petting his hair fondly. baby brother ♥]

Then you will have to come with us, and explore as you will there. We need your eyes, after all.

[direstnews]

[Leans into a bit.]

Then you shall have them, and my ears as well.

Speaking of ears: did yours chance upon anything of note?
