"Oh no please Sir, I can not accept such a discount." I reply. "Instead, I will pay it 6000 credits. You're right, us Astarians too have made our best to keep many of our old arts and ways, while trying to adapt them to the changing times. One other thing that many modern nations tend to have is to move some of their industry away, in other countries where the workforce costs less. Well, we Astarians tend to rather keep a fabric of industries scattered across the land. This way, every area has a way to provide jobs, and even though the final product costs a bit more than one manufactured in a cheaper, foreign country, we know where it comes from, and we know what we are consuming." I reply as I continue browsing the knives, before taking out a hunting knife, the handle carved in an elaborate form "I will take this one for my brother." I add before putting it aside and continuing browsing.

As Dad tries the fishnet, I have to agree, it fits him perfectly. But what I also do not miss is the blush quickly coming to Miss Sunplena's cheeks. Seems like she's not indifferent to Dad either.
"Indeed, you could pass for a local." I say as me and Auntie Maria nod while looking to Dad.
"Yeah, you're right." he replies as he scratches the back of his head, before turning back to Sunplena. "Thank you very much Miss Sunplena for letting me try one on. I think I'll take this one." he says as he takes the fishnet off and puts his shirt back on.
"Speaking of fishnets," he continues, "do you sell actual fishnets, which could for example be used to fish in a river?"

"Indeed, and with the storms coming back soon, we have stockpiled even more." I reply "This way we won't stay idle for the next months, seems like the storms of this season will be hard on the Malditas."
"Glad to hear that your compatriots don't take it too bad." replies Owen after I finish my sentence. "Concerning the other nations who have military bases here, I know that our government is working to establish good relations with them. We received a Kyrenaian delegation in our capital last February, and the Duchess Villa too in July. I just hope that if we have a war in the future with another nation, they won't go attacking the Malditas. Otherwise, this could potentially lead to your people feeling like they're back twenty years ago." he says with a sad tone, as I nod in approval, just before our two plates arrive.
"Thank you." we both reply to the waitress, before starting to dig in.
"Man it's delicious!" I exclaim after I took ad swallowed my first bite.
