Sagisō smiled. Fine, she’d play nice.
The Skillful Star rose to her feet and offered an acknowledging nod. Nature lover was...oddly fitting. She let it pass.
“You’d be surprised to see how much you can learn if you’d only stop and look.”
She declined to comment further, no reason to spill her new technique to people who could become her enemies in a matter of words. The situation was volatile...but as always that seemed to fly right over Asahi’s head. Sagisō rolled her eyes.
“It’s part of our custom to present gifts when meeting new friends,” Sagisō lied as easily as she breathed. “Here, we’ve even brought you something.” From seemingly nowhere, Sagisō produced a waterskin and presented it. “We’d be most offended if you refused our hospitality.”
The waterskin was filled with kumis, freshly made and fermented. It was something of an acquired taste, but it was much like yogurt in both taste and texture.
She threw an open glance at Asahi and then directed her attention back to the Stone trio. “We’d prefer rock candy as your gift of hospitality.” Then after a moment, she also added. “There’s a candy store around the corner.”
