snip Ume squawks slightly and stretches appreciatively under Yurei's attentions, yawning all their needle-sharp teeth into an adorable display. "Wouldn't forgive you if you two showed up with stories of Fixers kids and no pictures to go with 'em." Her grin shifts more serious. "And this is a good w...

Snip Tsuyo laughs at the look on the ronin's face at mention of kids. "Not yours! Probably. For a bit at least. More that some of your recruits might have them already or...not too far into things. If this not-quite-a-clan offers 'em some security and stability, and...sense of belongin'...families'...

snip She nods approval. "Good. It's not like that torment seems to actually work to keep folks from gettin' into that kind of trouble." "Plannin' on a real family group for it? Kids eventually? Our ship clusters tend to be extended family groups. Really helps for everyone to have a little space to ...

snip She chuckles around the mouthful of cake. "I'm only just startin' my own family, not sure I've got a lot of experience there." The little drake reaches, greedy, and Tsuyo lets him take the red bean cake to delicately devour. "Judgin' from the clan though...well, you already know that sometimes...

"Edgy and tormented...yeah, even Firefly teens hit that stage...some of 'em. Moaning about how unfair it is they're stuck out on the back end of nowhere while other kids their age are catchin' the latest bands and serial dramas, not watchin' saved files half a decade old." Tsuyo bit one, found it wa...

snip Grabbing one carafe of tea, she leaves Yurei _only_ juggling two boxes and the other carafe. A bright and freckled grin lights her face, "Really? Well, businessy or no, you'll have to fill me in before I leave, neh?" She shuffles to one of the tiny tables clustered around the cart, crowded to ...

Tsuyo nods, Ume lifting his head to sniff at the sweet and savory smells coming from the cart. "Hotaru-sama's been awfully pleased these past few days...other than shoutin' about some of the stuff lost in that strange computer attack last night. Guess at least some of the information everyone's been...

"Just the ronin I wanted to see, actually," she says, shuffling a bit with cane placement to turn and face Yurei's voice, she bows. "I just ordered a dozen to have extra for the embassy...sure you want that doubled?"

With the season winding down, Tsuyo had been stopping for a last look at favorite places, tastes of favorite treats, saying farewell to friends and allies. This morning, she'd invited someone she rather hoped was both as she grabbed breakfast at her favorite imagawayaki stand, Ume curled lazily over...

Turning, Tsuyo answers. "Short haul ship movement uses fuel, not Navigator invocations. More weight takes more fuel, so you're limited in what you can keep." Lifting her glass toward Jun, she adds, "Though if you can convince your shipmates to add it to the food stores, won't count on your tally, ye...

Tsuyo watches the back and forth, then nods at Jun's question. "I mean, it's hot enough to taste after the fuel's anesthetized your tongue. I liked it fine. Would work well on ships to spice up rations." "If you've got space in your weight allowance, definitely worth taking some with if they'd sell ...

Tsuyo looks up and calls over, "filled buns...chicken, veggie, shrimp--white, green, pink." She holds up her barely tinted pink one. "pretty decent." Particularly when you can't taste all that much.

Sakura nodded. "Let me know if I can help with anything. Mayb I can look into some possible things...or maybe we can see if Seika-sama might have some potential contracts for you? I did mention you to her. Maybe somewhere alongside a nice beach planet?" She took a sip of tea, enjoying the flavor, t...

"Not for babies, if that's your worry," Tsuyo laughs. "but a drop in some tea when sickly helps with sleepin.' Add some of that fire-paste from Shinjo's Grace to clear your head, and it's wholesome enough for most anyone." She nods at Jun. "I mean, it'll burn, so I could see usin' it to surprise som...

"Oh I get by, really. But I also pay my debts." She takes out a small notepad and slides it across the table "There's what I learnt at the party with Sakura-chan. From what I hear it's an insignificant addition to the Firefly collection this season. The streets are abuzz with the Hotaru name." The ...

Tsuyo watches with a bit of concern and amusement, but nods at Jun's assessment. "There's always about a half dozen ships in a cluster that've got a brewin' section, and every brewer's got their own secrets, but it's all meant to be strong enough to use as fuel in a pinch. Nobody's died of the stuff...

"Ha, arigatou, but the material was really easy to work with." She smiled. "It's from the Desolation, a Soshi Genetech lab. Something with spiders and..other animals, I believe." She smiled sheepishly. "Not exactly fully legal to acquire, but hey. I'm not complaining. Does Tsuyo-sama have any plans...

"Hey now, I'm the only 'old woman' here." Tsuyo shifts to curl her good leg under her as Ume comes back toward the group, gnawing the captured toy. "Glad you've got something'in the works then," she says to Yurei before glancing at Sakura and back again. "Both doin' well if rumors are any indication...
