With geese, you could feed them vegetable scraps, and when you left them on their own, they picked at weeds, though they could go a few days without food. They grew quickly, and were fully grown in only about six months. But they lived long lives too, and often lived to twenty or thirty years of age. Some even lived as long as fifty.

Geese didn’t get sick much, and they weren’t prone to injury either. They clung to life with an admirable stubbornness and all the while they popped out eggs. They also grew real close with their owners, but were nonetheless cautious and aggressive when it came to intruders. You could expect a lot of squawking in response to anyone suspicious, and geese would chase such people out and attack them with their beaks. They worked like guard dogs, really; they warned when robbers were coming and they chased off any field pests.

More than all of that though, they gave you a lot of blessings in the form of their eggs, their meat, and their feathers. In fact, that was why many called geese the “bird of blessings.”

They were all still chasing that senji around, and I figured that with their big healthy bodies and the quality of their feathers that they’d be maybe three gold coins a goose, or maybe even five. Being that there was six of them, it was a bit of a big purchase, but we had a significant stockpile of gold, so I didn’t mind.

“I want to buy those geese too,” I said.

Alna and Peijin were in a battle of negotiations, and things got even more heated as they talked about the going price of the geese. That battle of theirs raged for quite a while, and when it finally ended, well... I guess I’d call the result a draw.

With her soul appraisal, Alna brought the prices down on whatever she could, and she was able to avoid anything of poor quality and any outrageous markups. For his part, Peijin-Re sold more than half of what he brought, and a lot of that was the expensive handicrafts to boot. I figured they were both winners, because both of them had come away better off.

Well, that’s what I thought looking at it all, but as for Alna and Peijin themselves, they saw things differently. Alna had a victorious smile plastered to her face while Peijin’s eyes and mouth were all wide open and twisted in a way that, well, looked to me like a very vexed frustration. He’d tried to pawn off his lesser quality and overpriced items, but Alna had seen right through him.

It seemed Alna won today’s battle, but she didn’t hold Peijin’s tactics against him, didn’t use them to get a discount, and, as she’d said earlier, she helped him to profit. Alna looked at Peijin as if challenging him to try the same thing again, and Peijin stared back at her as if to say he was going to have his way next time.
