“So you came to me for advice, huh? I can’t believe you,” muttered Moll, the chieftain of the Onikin village.

We were in her yurt, where she was giving me an exasperated stare.

“I didn’t have anyone else to go to,” I admitted. “There are also some other things I’ve come to report, so I figured I’d ask about the gift while I was here.”

I started with my report of things in Iluk. I told her about the field and how it was going well but we still didn’t quite know why yet. I told her about the war against Diane, about trading with Peijin-Re, and how we might use Iluk as a hub for trade. Finally, I told her that we’d picked up a bunch of loot after the war and I’d brought it with me to give to the onikin. Moll nodded and the hint of a smile crept to her lips.

“I see,” she sighed. “You never cease to amaze me, Dias. And you brought us loot to use as we see fit, so in return I will give you my advice.”

Moll paused for a moment and sat up a little straighter before going on. “It’s a wedding gift you’re looking for, yes? Something you can prepare quickly?”

“That’s right. Klaus and Canis won’t be back for a few days, but that still means I have to have something within that time.”

“In which case, we can give you some high quality baar fabric bedding immediately, which is a fitting gift from you, to boot.”

I tilted my head in confusion. I mean, I understood that bedding was something that was handy to have around, but I wondered if it wasn’t a bit too boring a gift for newlyweds. And why was it fitting? I’d thought about it really long and really hard, and Moll patiently watched me mull it over until finally it hit me.

“Ah, so that’s what you mean! And Klaus is a bit of a late bloomer in that department, so it might be just right!”

Moll let out a very big, very deliberate sigh before she replied.

“With that thick skull of yours, I really have no idea when you and Alna will ever have a child. But that is why the bedding makes a good gift. Other couples might see you and feel some reluctance to make children of their own. We’ll give you bedding embroidered with wards against illness and prayers for a healthy newborn.”

I felt a huge weight off my shoulders, and I was glad that I’d asked Moll. I thanked her for her help, and then we went to where I’d left the cart full of war spoils. I passed it all to some onikin men that came with us, and in return I received a whole bedding set intricately embroidered with the moon, flowers, and patterns of birds. There were sheets and blankets as well as two pillows, which we’d loaded on my now-empty cart. Moll also tried to push some baby-making herbs onto me, but I politely and firmly declined the offer.
