"I can tell you'll be...no, you're already a great man," she said as she embraced him. "I can feel that spirit of passion within you; it was not like the one that my own mother had back in the Old Country. She grew up in a fishing village of meager means, but one day she saw a tea set from the passing merchants and knew from then on her destiny. Saving up what she could she bought the set and learned all she could about that great drink and the preparation of foods. And soon her tea house became the best known in the region."<br/><br/>A few tears were brought to her eyes as she reminisced about the past, but wiped them away. "Ah sorry, I got a little homesick there. But my point is the same: even the greatest started somewhere."<br/><br/>During this time Yazhu scanned the domicile. Any paintings, personal belongings, or heirlooms which may reveal a bit more about Tsuto, Ameiko, or even just to find an interesting conversation point. But in the meantime, she defaulted to her standard coy masseuse stance.<br/><br/>"Tea and crackers, food and drink. It's what keeps us alive, and makes life worth living. Much like the things of beauty I'm seeing around here."<br/><br/>Yazhu looked into his face. "I did not follow in her footsteps, but I too took up a job that celebrates living in its own special way."<br/><br/>She giggled. "I'll give you three guesses as to what I do..."<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Baihu's Persuasion</span></strong></div><br/>Sarrelton couldn't help but stare, although his inner gentlemen made him avert his eyes back up to the foxgirl's face. Her angry, yet still very cute, face.<br/><br/>"Easy there, Baihu, it's just the realities of business. I'm taking a risk here, and I can tell that it's a bit out of your means. But I'm a reasonable man. I'll charge you a more reasonable offer..."<br/><br/>He then placed a hand on Baihu's fists still on the table. "I hope this doesn't come off wrong, but you're a lovely woman. How about this? I'll reduce the price to 150% if you give me a kiss. And maybe further down, depending on how far you want to go..."<br/><br/>If she did not resist, the blacksmith leaned in closer, his taller, bearded face brushing up against Baihu's soft, unblemished skin...<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Social Link</span></strong></div><br/>Yazhu was more than pleased to hear that her...bartering skills were successful, and gave props to Baihu in the form of playfully Petting Her Fluffy Tail. "Sounds like in another life we could have all been merchants!"<br/><br/>She felt a bit down that Marcius was going to go back, so she decided to pen a letter to be sent south unless she couldn't say goodbye personally. Keeping it short but sweet, she sealed it with a lipstick-enhanced kiss.<br/><br/><em>Dear Marcius,<br/><br/>Our time has come to part ways, but like Irori's proclamation, the wheel of fate keeps all in motion. Again, thank you for all that you've done for us, and be sure to make lots and lots of other whores feel as good as you made me feel! If we ever cross paths I'll be sure to give you another Blower's Alley Special!<br/><br/>Sincerely and With Care,<br/><br/>Chu Yazhu</em><br/><br/>After giving the envelope to the local messenger, Yazhu decided to spend more time with Ameiko. Thinking of her earlier time with Tsuto and the talk of glassworks, she chose the Sandpoint Cathedral.<br/><br/>"Hey boss, I know a great place to visit! You seen the Cathedral yet?"<br/><br/>Yazhu debated whether or not to bring up Tsuto's surname; she didn't want to step on any boundaries, but after the discovery in Brinestump Marsh she seemed a bit more open about her past.<br/><br/><em>I'll ask about him when the mood's right!</em>
