They usually trade for food, firewood, and building materials for their nests. They also like jewelry and other decorative stuff." Aemon glances back at his house, tugs at his collar, and lowers his voice "They are also the easiest on the eyes. They've got beautiful plumage and their singing is the most wonderful and haunting thing you'll ever hear. That's how they make their living you see. They trade their plumage and songs with the other tribes and with us. If we can make a good enough trade today, you might be able to hear this one sing."
While Aemon was talking the Songbird had flown close enough that Jinom could get a good look. The Rito had mainly dark feathers, but with white streaks on its wings and tail feathers. The throat and chest of the creature shimmered with iridescent colors as it swayed back and forth in the air and the top of its head and spots near the ears were a vibrant turquoise. As the Songbird settled closer to the ground, Jinom noticed the Rito was wearing a sort of fur and leather vest over its chest with large bags hanging down near its thighs bulging with their contents.
When Songbird finally lands, Aemon holds his hand up to stop the prince. "Let me go first your majesty. I'll introduce you and wave you over when it's safe."
Aemon approaches the Songbird and greets it, crossing his arms in front of his chest and giving a bow. The Songbird reciprocates, folding in its wings and bowing in return. The two talk for a bit with Aemon gesturing back at the prince several times. The Songbird shoots a few glances past Aemon, but their meaning is inscrutable. A few more moments pass before Aemon finally waves the prince over.
"Prince Jinom, this is Chari."
"How do you do?" Chari says, bowing as she had to Aemon.
How do you approach this conversation?
>Keep things as light and pleasant as possible. The last thing you want is to make a bad impression.>Focus on learning as much as you can. The more you know about the Rito the better you'll be able to bargain for their help on the future.>Be respectful, but direct. You need their help in this war and you must see their leaders as soon as possible.>[Write In]Feel free to write in questions, conversation topics in addition to your votes. A good write in or well phrased plea for aid will make it easier for Jinom to get what he wants.
