Drinks on you (D3, EM, Yuzuki's Yurt)

[Moto Baatar]

"You should," the Unicorn agreed. "Maybe your cousins will like it, and we can set up trading for sake and kumis, and other stuff. I bet my clanmates would like that."

[Yuzuki]

She doubted the Crab would trade in sake for kumis, but if there was one clan other than her own she wouldn't mind seeing a bit more prosperous from trade, it would be the cousins of the Mantis; the Crab.

"The return of the Unicorn will probably be quite interesting for those interested in trade. It changes things up. Especially here in the north."

[Yasuki Tomonaga]

"Maybe." Tomonaga said, cheerfully noncommittal. "It's just as Mantis-san says. Those interested in trade will be interested in trade with the Unicorn. The Yasuki certainly qualify, among others." He inclined his head to Yuzuki, one eyelid shivering, as in a suggestion of a wink.

"In fact, I hope to meet some of these interested clanmates you mention, Moto-san. Do any names spring to mind?"

[Moto Baatar]

"Try talking to Ide Samai," Baatar suggested. "She knows more about clan trade stuff than I do, and is kind of important. She ought to be able to help you, or if not, would know someone who could."

[Yasuki Tomonaga]

Tomonaga grinned at Baatar. "Hey, thanks Moto-san! You're all right, yourself." He lifted the sake bottle, then hesitated a moment. It was early, and Baatar was young... eh, he'd been drinking this much when he was Baatar's age. Without further hesitation, he topped up the young Moto's cup.

He turned back to Yuzuki. "You need more help getting set up, Mantis-san?" He asked politely. "There's still a lot more boxes. When you're the youngest in a sake brewing family, you get used to being the one to move things around." Well, there were servants to do most of it. He suspected his family just wanted to keep him busy.

[Yuzuki]

"Yasuki-sama has been more than kind already. I would not wish to impose."

[Moto Baatar]

Baatar quaffed another gulp of Tomonaga's excellent sake, then wiped his mouth on his sleeve. "Well, if that's all the help you'll need, I'll head on out," the Unicorn said. "Good luck on the feast preparation."

[Yasuki Tomonaga]

"Good meeting you, Moto-san." Tomonaga said cheerfully.

He looked back to Yuzuki, desire to be helpful warring with desire to, well, not spend his morning moving boxes warring within him. It only showed a little on his face. "Oh, it'd be no trouble at all. But if you're sure..." He spread his hands, leaving it up to her to make up his mind for him.

[Yuzuki]

"You have both been more than helpful already," she said; not wishing to burden either of them.

"I hope I will see you at dinner, Moto-san."

She gave him a bow.

"And I thank you once more for your generosity, Yasuki-sama."

[Yasuki Tomonaga]

Tomonaga didn't need to be told twice. Or, actually, he didn't need to be told a third time, anyway.

"Right-o. And it's no problem at all. I'm looking forward to your feast!" He said with smile and bow. "Like I said, I'll show up just a little early with the sake. See you then, eh?"
