Private The Crossroads Contract

[Lia Corrin]

"It's our own volcanic soil and warm winds, plus a little tender loving care my dear," the Delfino pocketed the credits, "Say...you're new here aren't you?" he said with a smile, which was invisible behind the large fleshy nose.

 

[Liddaat Fuamung]

"Yeah, I'm new. I'm from Lothal originally." Liddaat said with a small smile

 

[Lia Corrin]

"Ah, Lothal, I hear it's different than here, mostly...it's cold right?" the farmer said, genuinely curious.

 

[Liddaat Fuamung]

"It depends on where you are. We did have snow where I lived." Liddaat said. "Definitely colder than here."

 

[Lia Corrin]

"Never seen snow around these parts, although there is snow in a few other colonies," the Delfino shrugged, "Them snow-loving folks are crazy to my eye, who wants to have to be cold all the time?"

 

[Liddaat Fuamung]

Liddaat shrugged. "Ever had a snowball fight? They can be plenty of fun. I never really had friends in school, but I saw some of my classmates stuff snowballs down each other's shirts."

 

[Lia Corrin]

"What's a snowball?" the Delfino cocked his head curiously, not knowing what she was talking about.

 

[Liddaat Fuamung]

"It's exactly what it sounds like," Liddaat explained. "You take snow and you pack it into a ball."

 

[Lia Corrin]

The Delfino cocked his head curiously, "Why would you do something like that? Wouldn't your hands freeze?"

 

[Liddaat Fuamung]

Liddaat laughed. "Yes, sometimes your fingers go numb, but the fun makes it worth it."

 

[Lia Corrin]

"Well, we Delfinos don't have fingers," the farmer said with a chuckle, holding up his flaggy hands, which had a large opposable palm and a thumb, with very stretchy skin, a rather unique biological evolution, especially to an outsider.

 

[Liddaat Fuamung]

Liddaat chuckled. "True. I don't think we have Delfinos on Lothal."

 

[Lia Corrin]

"I wouldn't think so, the only place I know of is in this system," the Delfino nodded in agreement.

 

[Liddaat Fuamung]

Liddaat nodded. "What places do you suggest going around here? I'll be sticking around for a while."

 

[Lia Corrin]

"Oh...I'd recommend you make friends with the town bakery, the butcher, and the fishmongers," the Delfino pointed down the main road, towards downtown, which was abuzz with the townsfolk busying themselves getting to work.

 

[Liddaat Fuamung]

Liddaat nodded. "Thank you. I'm Liddaat, by the way."

 

[Lia Corrin]

"Junio, just your local farmer," the man tipped his straw hat to Liddaat.

 

[Liddaat Fuamung]

"Nice to meet you, Junio." Liddaat said, smiling

 

[Lia Corrin]

"Come on back any time," Junio waved good bye.

 

[Liddaat Fuamung]

Liddaat nodded and went to get more supplies, deciding to stop by the butcher.
