There is silver mead. Yet, mead all the same.

Hot water springs as well in a coincidence.

Tribute? I'm not sure I understand, Sweden-san...

Resources or payment. They are easy to scout for as I have mapped them carefully.

But...what for? I mean, it's our job anyway, so...

Power? Tribute is usually given to allies.

...What's a mead?

[Private to Sweden, Hackable]

We don't need tribute to help the people who are in trouble. Have you found a problem?

[Private]

[surstromming]

There is people who deserve the title as convict.

[heavens_schism]

There are bad people, you mean.

There always have been...but here, Ashura thinks we can stop them.

Permanently.

Who, may I inquire, is causing trouble now?

[Private]

[surstromming]

There is someone who has threatened a child and a youth with fire.
Someone called Sasori has threatened Erika with gross indecency. Understand she is the closest to kin to me besides Finland.
Currently, a strange androgynous "Grell" has murdered a woman all too violently. They claim to be a subject of Hella.

Do whatever you want with Grell, he's a nuisance anyway. But I'm going to tell you this in the most polite way I can.

I will not allow you to do anything to Sasori. I'm aware of his threats to Erika as it stands, and have already sworn I'd not let any ill will -- from Sasori -- befall on her. Partly why he's interested in her was my doing and I take responsibility for that. But trust me, you will have to go through me to get to him.

[surstromming]

I admire your strong oaths and pride alike, but I would avenge her.

Perhaps then I should have faith in your ability.
