>"Yeah. What did he say to you?"

>She is silent for another moment, then fixes you with a steady gaze. "Nazrin, is it true that you located Isato's goods and then and sold them in Braston without his knowledge or consent?"

>proceed to in detail explain exactly what happened yesterday from leaving here, to finishing the job. Cirno, that the horses where waiting at the city. That and show the copy of paper work to Ichirin. Be plain to her about it, even if we tried to 'bend the truth' she probably suspect something.

>proceed to in detail explain exactly what happened yesterday from leaving here, to finishing the job. Cirno, that the horses where waiting at the city. That and show the copy of paper work to Ichirin. Be plain to her about it, even if we tried to 'bend the truth' she probably suspect something.

>You decide to plainly explain the sequence of events of yesterday. You tell Ichirin where you discovered the cart and how Cirno admitted to having taken it from Isato after driving away, as well as her purported reasons for doing so. Then you explain the details of the job you'd taken from the Melon Bowl, and how you felt that it was necessary to take the fruit directly there in order to fulfill your client's requests fully - it was simply a matter of expedient logistics. Finally, you tell her that Isato's cart and horses were left in the care of the Melon Bowl's proprietor, and that you've left the matter of settling payment up to Isato, once he can get into the city. Ichirin says little while you talk, simply acknowledging your statements. Her expression remains serious, though not directly scolding. Still that alone is enough to make part of you feel surprisingly uncomfortable.  You take out the job completion form to show her.
>"I believe you at your word, Nazrin," she says, before you've even given them to her. "You don't need to show me signatures."
>She pauses and lets out a deep breath. "I'm sure you meant no harm, but that fruit was neither yours nor the Melon Bowl's at the time you found it. What's more, you didn't even get a single guilder for them. We can both hope that the owner is true to her word and pays Isato when he gets there, but you essentially gave away someone else's property to a stranger. If you'd been considering taking it directly to Braston, why didn't you ask Isato when you spoke with him last night? He might well have been glad for you to do it."

>"well that's a bit of an issue."
>Try are best to explain how cirno was reacting to everything. How she would have probably tried to beat on us, again, if we insisted on bring things back to Isato. How basically the only way we even managed to get her to give up it at all, was to convince her she was acting like a hero by bring it to the melon bowl.
>"She set her mind to that Isato was  villain and that everything she taken from him was hers now.... and i don't think i could changed her mind if i had a week."

i certainly hope you guys at least considered what i am saying. otherwise i guess i do look at things differently.

>"Yes. I mean... apart from just letting Isato be at ease, and that he and cirno didn't match stories.... which still bugs me. He would been able to come up and got to deal with everything earlier to. His cart and horses been back faster and all his business at the bowl would been done to, instead now where... i got tell him everything and probably check that everything worked out fine when i return to Braston."
>"Probably would been able to stay here had gotten to working on cattle the job faster to..."

Actaully, we probably wouldn't, due to time limitations.

>"There's a problem with Jirou's logic: the deal was made in advance. This wasn't just some thing a did on a whim like he's acting, it was just fulfilling what had already been agreed on. If the Melon Bowl refuses to pay, that's a breach of contract."
>"And more importantly, why was he giving you a hard time for what I did, rather than meeting me face to face? Who does he think he is?"

>Ichirin's gaze doesn't waver. "Of course, this would have meant accepting that Isato mightn't make the delivery on time, giving up your bonus and your chance to impress your client, yes?"

>make a note to ask Isato how much his fruit would cost normally.

>You make a mental note.

>"There's a problem with Jirou's logic, the deal was made in advance. This wasn't just some thing a did on a whim like he's acting, it was just fulfilling what had already been agreed on. If the Melon Bowl refuses to pay, that's a breach of contract."
>"And more importantly, why was he giving you a hard time for what I did, rather than meeting me face to face? Who does he think he is?"

>"That... may be true," she says.
>Ichirin sighs again. "He didn't give me a hard time... as such. He wanted to verify your story, particularly after Isato told him he had no idea you were delivering the fruit to Braston on your own."
>She pauses for a moment. "I know he can seem abrasive, but he's only trying to make sure that no one here gets robbed and that matters are handled properly. In his way. Try not to hold that against him, if you can." She shakes her head. "Though I imagine he'll be even less happy now that you don't have any money to show for it."

>"He owns one of the larger farms around here," she says. "And taught a lot of younger people the ropes over the years. He was on the village council for a long time, too. I don't think he's let the fact that he's officially retired slow him down very much. Although, um... opinions of him were always mixed." She frowns slightly. "I imagine you can understand why."

>Ichirin just frowns at you, though you think it may be one of concern more than anything else
>"I appreciate the sentiment," she says, "but you don't have to worry about that. I'm capable of dealing with much worse than Jirou. I told him what you'd told me at that point, said that you had my full confidence, and sent him on his way. You needn't be concerned about what he thinks, either. Jirou holds firm to his own opinions, some of them... more kind than others. In all this, the one I think deserves the most thought is Isato. It was his property, after all."

>She nods again. "Then I think that's enough said on the subject. Oh, and just in case you think otherwise..." She smiles. "I think you did a fine job. Who knows if Isato would ever have been able to find that again on his own."
>That is also a valid point.

>"Of course," she says.
>You basically went straight to the kitchen after you woke up. You excuse yourself and take a few minutes to get cleaned up for the day, and then leave and walk towards Isato's.
>It is a bright and clear morning outside, much nicer than yesterday's, and the village is lively - or at least as lively as Easthaven ever gets, anyway. You work your way towards the village center and then past it; a few people say hello as you walk by and you return their greetings politely. Soon enough, you arrive at Isato's house.
