(Night time)
Well. That went better than I expected. We were greeted by a nice lady who told us that she even had accommodations for us. I guess that we weren't as stealthy as we thought but at least things are turning out well for now.
They invite us to a nearby temple. I thought they would have brought us straight to Atoyavik but the temple is nice enough. Since they will be sleeping with the party I thought that this would be the time to prove if my suspicions are true or not.
Of course 2 of those meat boys just had to make an advance on me. I know were known for apparently having higher sex drives than most foreigners but I was too nervous to even think about exchanging nuts at the time. I think we all were.
Most of us just ended up sleeping with a partner but for once there wasn't any sex going on. Or at least none that I could hear. They had some basic beds and hammocks and such so overall it was pretty comfy. I slept alone, despite those two fuckheads.
(Morning)
The first thing I did was an immediate headcount. All risuners were present. A lot of us were slightly relieved and maybe these people could just be friendly after all. From a logical perspective this made sense since we had good stuff to trade back home. I think the paranoia got the best of us. But not for a second am I gonna let my guard down.
They tell us that we should head for the city of Atoyavik. Its pretty far away so I told them we can stop at the temple nearest for a break before we head straight there. Tecpashochitl is being really nice along the way. Its actually relaxing and throughout the morning trek I personally think maybe these people aren't bloodthirsty savages. Still not letting my guard down though.
(Arrival at the next temple)
Well were here. Its afternoon and by my guesses we could reach the city by late evening. Our escorts have a lot of meat based products to nobody's surprise with not too many natural things. We end up eating both a mix of our own supplies and some of their food, it was only polite that we try some of their stuff out and its not like risuners have never eaten meat before.
One thing I really found odd was their currency. Its useless. You cant eat it or plant it, its just a tiny piece of metal. I've come to the conclusion that other nations do this and we are the only ones that use nuts as money. It was a bit of a surprise but I don;t want to judge these people on their ways. Everyone is different.
By this point there are much less tensions as some of the guys are cuddling with the females of their group. Finally it seems were starting to get along. Tecpashochitl had that look in her eyes of satisfaction. She then turned to me and asked me one on one
"Are you afraid of us, the entire time you all have been shaking and holding your weapons ready to strike. I understand our past will forever burn in many western risuners and for some reason you seem to have made your crew out of the most vengeful but we really want to put that aside."
I had only one thing to say.
"My grandparents were taken by your people. But I cannot deny the good that has come afterwards. Many of the weapons we hold right now is possible thanks to you. The very ship we arrived in was built because of your knowledge of boats. We owe you our entire fleet in a way and our tools are better than ever."
It was then that I thought now would be the perfect time to discuss something since my crew was "distracted"
"Listen closely. I can offer your people the thing you seem to value most. Our prisoners are tossed into geese chambers and we do nothing with the bodies. Many of my people want reparations despite what I said earlier. So would it be too much to ask that we can have a few of your pretty gems and in exchange, ill allow isolated meat outposts near the geese chambers so that you may collect dead risuners and do with them what you will?"
I will never get my grandparents back but there are things I can give back to /risu/ that would be glorious. Even if I may despise what they did before I'm sure they wouldn't want me living life in anger. They would want me to live the will of Risu as a nut connoisseur and a good captain. Risu please protect us, for we ae walking into either one of the greatest moments in our history or into the biggest trap of our lives.
