Senjen laughed lightly. “It feels like botany comes naturally to Tekeri, though I guess that’s what thousands of years of experience will do. I’ve only ever seen pictures of Tekeri cities, still haven’t...visited one, but it really is incredible how [i]alive[/i] they look. Maybe one of these days, if the Utaysi and Tekeri get stronger diplomatic connections, that technology can help revitalize Orostro? It’s a nice place now and everything, but they’re trying to bring its ecosystem back to what it was like before the extinction.”

Once again, Senjen was surprised for a moment when the Tekeri offered him a gift. He accepted it readily, and was glad to receive it, though he also showed a tinge of guilt. “Oh, thank you, I wasn’t expecting that. I...well I don’t have my own ship. I came here in my client’s. I can definitely use this, but I don’t know if I can buy too much right now, since it’s [i]his[/i] ship.” He leaned back somewhat to look around the stall and see if it had its own name, though not all in this market did. He was not sure how long the stalls around here stayed in the same place, or even if they set up in the same spot every day. “Say, what’s your name? When I do get my own ship, or maybe my own place on Korit, I’d like to keep you in mind.”
