Aahhotep paused and thought for a bit.<br/>"I am very much interested in Princess Natasha but I will want to know her better before I commit to such a seemingly permanent arrangement such as marriage. I have a young son to think of as well as my self. He will have to love her as a mother before I will consent. How long before you plan on coming back this way? Perhaps she could stay in Merit's quarters since Merit will be leaving with you. Of course Mother Hat-Su will need to approve of that situation."  Aahhotep spoke honestly.<br/><br/>"I'll accept the ten and perhaps more sheep will come back with you on the next trip. And the goats? Are there any extra? If not perhaps some will be extra when you come back this way. I'd like to see the birthing of the baby sheep, if you don't mind." Achencheres responded to King Henry.<br/><br/>"I, too, would like to watch the birthing of a baby sheep."  Aahhotep agreed.<br/><br/>"It is true that everyone must feel needed to be whole and happy. Ahhhh! Such a fine lace! Such tiny hearts in it. I think this will do very well for Merit's wedding dress, don't you think so too? I should get a few other ones for future projects. I enjoy shopping greatly.<br/>What do you think of the sweet,  Karbukef? This is the first sucker that he has had. We rarely have anyone stop here to trade with us. Usually, we send most of our goods with a few men to the larger city to get our supplies. In fact, my daughters and I have not ventured far from here. We do not move like our ancestors once did." Hat-Su spoke as she smiled at  Karbukef.<br/><br/>Sanura looked at the person who seemed to be in charge of the animals and he came over to help.<br/>"I'd like the tank of koi and the two birds here, the parrot and the myna bird. Do you have any tiny birds?"<br/><br/>"No, I do not have any but maybe if King Henry wishes, he will bring some next time we come by? Would there be any other creatures that you would like?" he asked quietly.<br/><br/>"I am creating a garden and I shall want some frogs and maybe a chameleon or two. And some flower starts and young trees. Do you have any?" Sanura asked.<br/><br/>"No not I but go 3 stalls down and he will have some that you might be able to buy." he informed them.<br/>"Are you interested in the lemur baby? It lost it's mother not too long agon and always want to be held and comforted." the man looked at Pet-Ament eagerly.
