"... He can't be trusted." Gerty said quietly.
"Fortune must've returned to us." Eisho said. He then mentioned something about soon telegramming his father-in-law of his daughter being alive and a change in her marital plans.
"To think, we were so close to another tragedy because of me..." Ai said with some sadness. Her Master comforted her by gently massaging her shoulders.
"Where are our manners?" He suddenly commented. "We have a Savant and his harem in our house, saviors of our dear Ryko and Ayane. You'll have to forgive us for acting with such familiarity, today has been an emotional day for us." They've honestly all behaved pretty calmly, considering they've just found out a daughter of theirs was dead. This must have something to do with this family's obsession with staying strong. Bad Luck could ruin everything in an instant, so you could see the logic in staying strong in the face of adversity.
"Indeed, it is an honor to have a Savant grace our humble abode," Said Ai. At times like this her voice was like that of Ryko's, but with maturity and experience coloring it. "With the misfortune you've needlessly had to go through-"
"Most of this is because of this thing not working, right?" You take out the Lucky Watch. It's in pristine condition. "Me and my first wife over there fixed it up."
"Master and I are geniuses, so you don't have to worry about it breaking anymore!" Herta barged into the conversation without subtlety.
The three kitsunes were speechless, and looked over the item. They all expressed their gratitude, and said that it would help the along the other magical items in store.
"We had a reward set up for the three of them," Eisho said. "Yet with what we offered, I didn't believe it was enough to persuade a rescue party."
"There is no need to go into detail, my love." Ai said to him. "We had our reasons to offer such a sum." She didn't elaborate why, but you were pretty sure it's because they couldn't afford anything larger.
Saying that, they still offered you (2,000g)
>Take it. 2,000 gold coins were 2,000 gold coins.
>Let them keep it. They needed it more than you did.
Ryko clearly had a loving home, and you almost wished they were secretly a bunch of bastards so you could justify keeping her as a daughter. But you quickly shake away those thoughts, there was no need to wish harm on this fluffy-tailed family.
Still, there was Ayane, that unfortunate (and busty) hag. Honestly she was kinda cute.
>Wish her luck but nothing more. She'll need all the fortune she can find.
>Help her find a suitable Husband-Master (that isn't you). Be a wingman and matchmaker.
>Offer to take her out of their hands. Make that busty old fox your wife.

One last thing in your mind, something you'd entertained while coming here.
>Offer to make them some artifacts that increase luck sometime in the future. You were gonna be too busy this week and the next to make them, but maybe sometime later.
>Don't bring it up.
>(Write-in)
