"Hey now, no need to be givin' up that easy Fel! Just be patient and she'll warm up to you before you know it. This trip is just gettin' started after all!" Manato declared with a mischievous smirk. "Besides, I'm sure with the right approach we can turn the situation here around."
"As for the other matter, it's a bit of a special 'recipe'. A secret not unlike what I set up for making wines." The fire aspect handed his pipe to Asuna while he took a moment to fish a spare one from his pocket. He'd get the spare pipe packed gently and lit with a mere sparking snap from his fingers. "Try it for yourself if you'd like. I knew we'd be arriving when a party was getting started, so I had my staff bring enough to last me a season or so. Just in case."
Manato turned to greet Harun with a wave, inviting her to join the discussion. "Glad you decided to join us cousin. This man here is our friend Ledaal Fel, esteemed pilot of the Viridian Raptor." He turned back to Fel to complete introductions. "And Fel, this is my cousin Cynis Harun. She's pretty well established in a lot of the typical house industries here."
