[ The video feed opens to Baiken stuffing her pipe, lighting it with a struck match, and giving it a few gentle puffs to get things started. Which would all seem pretty mundane, to most people, but the fact she manages to do all of this with one hand is probably at least a little dizzying, at first.

But she doesn't give long to let it sit and drag out how unusual it was, letting out a trail of smoke before finally speaking. ]

Say what you will about those fae and the ceremonies and kidnappings and such... but they make good stuff for pipe smoking.

[ So that... probably wasn't tobacco. ]

Anyways, as for why I'm making this post; those folks I've told about my sake brewing? The first batch is ready. Lemme know if you want a cask of it.

[ Another pause, another series of puffs, and a long, snake like exhale of smoke...

oh right. ]

That's it.

[ And unceremoniously, she ends the post, reaching with her foot to tap the stop button. ]

I certainly wouldn't mind a cask myself.

[Never mind where she's even going to put it, having some sake around would feel a little more like home.]

[garyoutensei]

You sure? This stuff hits a little harder than what a noble woman like you would be used to, I think.

[borderoflife]

Oh, I don't mind. In a place like this, a noblewoman is free to experience many things she's not used to.

[The fact that she's alive again also makes things a little more exciting, even if she's still getting used to it.]

[garyoutensei]

Can't argue with that, I guess. [ Not that she intended to argue it, otherwise, really. ]

Lemme know where to drop it off.

[borderoflife]

I'm still at the Red Spring Inn. Though I think it would take up quite a bit of space in my room if I put it there...

[She's still adjusting to the fact that she no longer has an entire mansion all to herself.]

[garyoutensei]

Somehow hearing you're still there doesn't surprise me at all.

[ A noble woman like her wanting to stay near the springs? Yeah, that sounded pretty likely, to her. ]

The jug's not a full size one. Two liters, at most.

[borderoflife]

Oh, I just have the hardest time getting away from a place if it has a hot spring. [Even if it isn't as fancy as her own home.]

Well, that amount should be fine. Especially if it's as strong as you say.

[garyoutensei]

I'll head out there this evening. I'll probably arrive after you've had dinner.

[borderoflife]

Oh, you don't have to wait that long. I don't mind eating with others. It can improve the experience.

[garyoutensei]

Not to be rude, but I wasn't saying that for your sake.

I have to head out there this evening. For my schedule.
