"The hour your 'money-making scheme' comes to fruition." He clarified. "I can see the excitement in the air— beyond the simple celebration. Your wives have done a good enough job at not simply bragging about this mysterious accomplishment made by their Master." He chuckled.
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's a habit women tend to have in their social circles."
Now that he mentioned it, you did notice how your wives liked to boast about you.
"Well it's good to hear they haven't talked about it yet." You said.
"Ayane has been doing a good job redirecting the conversation whenever Ai or that punk Eisho come to close to the truth." He said. "Though I doubt that Eisho and the others would do much with the information even if you told them openly."
"That's also good to hear."
"Maybe." He said. "I respect your wishes enough to keep quiet, but I can't help but be curious. I suppose it's just what an old fox like myself would consider entertainment, ho-ho." He said, even though not long ago he fought against a giant eagle and celebrated Thule with what you're pretty sure were vikings.
And behind all his good humor you could tell that he was truly grateful for what you've done for his family. At the very least you were sure he was confident in your competence.
Still you both danced around the subject for a bit.
You were certain that he wouldn't tell anyone if you requested he keep it a secret. It was also clear that he respected you enough to stop looking into the matter if you so desired. However this might be the last opportunity you might have to tell him anything, at least not before you start mass producing aluminum.
>"I'll tell you about it privately so long as you don't share what I'm about to show you." Show him some aluminum and tell him about your plans under the condition of secrecy.
>"I'm nearly finished with it. I don't see a reason to keep things under wraps. I actually wanted to make some deals with your company..." You'll share it openly with your in-laws.
>"You won't have to wait for much longer; a couple more weeks at most." You'll keep things vague, just like you had before.

As it grew late and the party began to wind down, an idea floated around between the kitsune; voiced in an offer— to bring Aila back to Centria as they left in their airship.
It was a convenient thought. All it needed was your approval.
>You'll allow it. You trusted your fluffy tailed in-laws.
>No, you wanted to personally send her off.

Anything you want to say or do for Aila before she leaves later tonight?
>Yes. (Write-in)
>No.
