[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.

That is something to look forward to.

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

[AND THEY SHOULD HIDE BLOODSTAINS, TOO]

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

[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.

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

I'd not mind an excursion.

[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.

[Leans into a bit.]

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

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

[uwaah]

At some point we need to get together and sort out all our information -- who plays what role, and such. But I imagine that can wait a bit.

What do you think about Uruk?

Their resource is one we can do without if we need to, and they're a suspicious sort.

I wouldn't rely too much upon any sort of long-term arrangement with them.

I feel just the same. We should stock up on cleaning supplies early and cut them off in the upcoming seasons. They may be the first family to take out, as well. Presumably when we've destroyed them it'll be easy enough to just take what they have at any rate. As we're neighbors, we might even just claim their territory as our own, if they're completely wiped out.

Have you thoughts on Ichibei?

I'm more or less operating under the assumption that we'll be forming an alliance with them, of some kind or another. It seems like we're all moving in that direction, doesn't it?

Vespera says they wish something exclusive.

Well, for starters, they don't intend to cut off trade. Chain expressed explicitly that he would even want us as a middleman for Axum, for obvious reasons. He would prefer something more exclusive as concerns long-term alliances, but I think he'll cave on that as long as we promise him that he's first in line.

There was talk that they'd been in some sort of scrape already. Do we know for certain it was with Axum?

Chain confirmed it, and I don't see why he'd bother to lie. Things are getting heated already, it seems...

Have you fed at all, little brother?

Yesterday.

I took advantage of the arrangement with Aristophanes.

Then you should feed again today as well. Come here, and I'll open a vein for you.

You could just run laps, you know.

Sweat works as well.

We don't have enough clothes for me to be working up a sweat. I'll smell.

We've rivers and rivers worth of fountains. I'll do the washing up.

Honestly... you really are going to work me like a dog. You'll have to hear my complaints when I'm sore tomorrow, if that's really what you want.

A few sore muscles are preferable to blood loss, I'd think.

I'm sturdier than most, and we do have you and Vespera. Truly, though, whichever you prefer is well and good.
