my, what nice tushes you have (Kai sale)

Ashmedai's thoughts worked over in his head as Acere offered a bet after him. Well then this was a stalemate, if they both had pelts, then what was the use? Acere could craft, but when had the vikings ever not been able to craft for themselves? Still, having a good alpha at their call would be nice too. Ash let his smile curl and shift as he thought. what else could he do.

Ah, the season long bender.

"Okay, so we both got pelts- great. But I can offer you ten buckets of The Orchard's finest mixed wines. I spend a whole season figuring out which crafts went well with what, and with the winter citrus coming in now, you could have dibs on the last selection of the Fall's finest brews as well as the first rotation of Winter's citrus line." He knew they must have someone making the alcohol for the parties, but that would mean they were out a good deal. Being almost between seasons was a blessing in variety and having someone... experienced was another added benefit. "Five of each, perhaps? Feel free to put them in whatever bottles or holdings you prefer, or just take the buckets if that suits you."

Granted, this would cut back into his own stores, but with Legion so close and with him raising kids, it wasn't like the demand for alcohol exceeded his production rate anyway, he had just thought about saving some for the bitter winter.
