Aristophanes.

[ This uncertainty goes both ways. He really didn't come here to start trouble. ]

...Uh, what's up?

I came to check on our offer.

[ He indicates the huge sign his Prime put up offering medical supplies and lube for trade from Axum. ]

Oh, yeah. I talked a little with your governess, 'charming' guy. I think it'd be easier to work out a bigger trade if we had a sample of your wares, maybe.

I might just be able to help you out with that.

[ He's assuming by 'wares' this Aristophanes means 'lube' because that's what they have the most of to trade. ]

[why

why only lube

~~have you not spoken with borja yet~~]

Really? What've I got to do?

[ The 'governess' has been handling that account. ]

Find us a secluded spot so we can have a private demonstration. I don't want everyone to know I'm giving you special treatment.

[that should be
interesting]

Uh, okay, fair enough. Is this gonna take all that long or should I take the new sister home first?

If you'd feel better taking her home first you can. Just meet me back here when you're done.

Wouldn't want her to wait around and get lost the first day. Hold on--what's your name?

I'm KnifePuppy. But you can call me Knife for short.

...

That's...friendly...

Anyway, I'm Vetiver, I'll be right back...I guess...

I'll be here.

[ And after the requisite bending of time, he is still there, although he's sitting down now by the Axum end of the Pearl area. ]

[And while not without a bit of dawdling ('KnifePuppy'? Really??), Vetiver does return as well, meeting him over at Axum]

Uh, hey, sorry about that. Just figured this might be easier without an audience, considering.

Oh, I agree. Why don't we head somewhere quieter? I'm still happy to show you a sample.

[follows, surely nothing is behind this]

Okay. That'd be useful. No point for our families to not get along, right?

I'm sure we can be friends!

[ Leading him to Axum's designated trading post. ]

Of course...Kn... Can I just call you 'Puppy'? It seems less...you know, stabby.

I suppose I can allow it this once.

[ He's mostly joking. Hey look, it's their destination! ]

Good, no one here just now. Just the two of us.

Sure is. Secluded and, uh, quiet. Good for s--

...I mean, what did you want to talk about?

[He is obviously nervous, but if you are into that, score. Even if you are not into that, at least he smells pretty good. Not quite irresistible, but definitely like something worth getting the old appetite fired up for.]

[ Yeah, screw talking when he can push Vetiver into the wall and kiss him. ]

[well

okay?

not quite kissing back, but...well, maybe a little, since it's only polite, but still kinda waiting for the other shoe to drop]

[ Does shoe dropping including undoing his pants? Because that is happening. ]

You really came to the right family. We have all the lube you could ever need.

The...massage stuff?

[ugh why is he trying to think without pants on, everyone knows that is pure folly. He'll have to remove KnifePuppy's as well, it is the only solution]

[ It's really only fair. ]

Well, I guess you could use it for that, too.
