She nods and opens the shoji door, then leans through it to call for her girlsla--I mean 'help around the house'-- to get them some liquor. The girl-who Raven might know as Victor- nods nervously and scrambles off, after which Yuuko sits down next to the woman. "It'll be here in a moment."
"Oh, yes. Victor," she smiles. "She was in dire need of a job and offered to work here. I couldn't well have the same person as I have in the real world."
"Well, it's Fate that brings the people to my shop, so I don't think my little establishment can be called a usual business. I've had some customers, but I don't actually need them to get around. Besides, I've my shop in my own world as well."
"What kind of a business would you like to start?" And Victor stumbles in with the liquor--a fine rum, as it seems. Yuuko smiles at her in thanks. "Could you get the basin from the backroom, please? It's on the lowest shelf on the right, immediately next to the door. It's already filled. If it's too heavy, leave it and I'll get it myself later." She nods and goes away silently. Such a change from Watanuki!
"Oh, wonderful!" She smiles and pours the rum into tall glasses, then takes a gulp. "Thank you," she says as Victor carefully walks in with the basin, puts it down next to Yuuko, then sighs and walks out again. The girl's been having it hard the last few days.
She puts down her glass and moves to the floor, to sit on a cushion before the basin. "Your price for these pieces of information, such as you have outlined your wish before, will be to never go back to your own universe again. In return, I tell you if your son, name of Graydon Creed, is safe, happy, and okay. This is all you desire?"
