Looking on as Saxi tries out the quill, Naoki nods. She’s glad it works. It’s been sitting in that drawer for a while, now, and she wasn’t entirely certain if the enchantment still held efficacy.
“May it serve you well,” Lady Naoki says, ever the picture of a benefic sovereign.
“We can begin discussing the specifics now, certainly. Depending on your people’s needs, I could, without much trouble, have these flowers that you prefer not just spared from being built upon, but cultivated somewhere specific. Along the sides of roads, perhaps, or between fields.”
“Beyond that, there’s also something to be gained from having such a channel open. There are times where I might wish to have a bee’s perspective from high above, or where my people could offer assistance with something that would otherwise be troublesome or ungainly for small hands.” With this, Lady Naoki offers a small sort of shrug. She doesn’t know very much about how The Pchelinaya operate, but she’d like to offer more in return. As it is, it seems as though she would be accepting honey and mead in a manner not dissimilar to protection money, but she would prefer it if it were something more like trade.
“Is there aught else your people require? We’ll soon have the capability to produce a great many things here in Port Argentium. Tools, certain foodstuffs, refined materials…?” Lady Naoki can think of a few things that bees might enjoy, but she wouldn’t like to come across as presumptuous by suggesting.

The queen places a hand on her cheek to think. "We have had troubles in the past in regards to tools and weaponry. Most of these are made of amber, they are sturdy enough but also have a high possibility of breaking. Having our tools and potentially weapons outsourced may help in future construction and defense within our hive colony." Her people are a peaceful kind, but that does not mean her militia is weak. They are expertly trained fighters ready to defend the hive until their dying breath. The Pchelinaya haven't gone to full-out war but have fought against pesky insects and other large rodents who favor a taste of honey.
"We will be happy to provide you a view above if you ever need it. We can also employ help from the local bees. We've become quite good friends with them."
She turns to her diplomat, Saxi. "Anything else you think would help our hive?"

Saxi
Established
Roleplay posts: 10
Age: 18
Appearance: 6 inches tall, more bee-like than most other bee-folk
Equipment: Her helmet and armor are fashioned from the shell of an ironclad beetle. Her sword is made of amber and is enchanted.
Skills and Abilities: As far as pchelinaya go, Saxi is unusually tough, enough to actually survive an attempt by a human to squash her. She is quite fast and agile. Light that reflects through her amber sword can burn, blind, and heal. However, due to the suppression of the mist, these effects are temporary.
Biography: Saxi was a noble soldier bee who initially had no plans to leave her hive. She planned on beecoming a queen's bodyguard and protecting her the rest of her days. However, arriving in the mistborne isles has caused her to change her views. She beelieves the future of the hive and the rest of her people depends upon gathering knowledge of the strange new world they are in.
At her coming of age, she decided to become a diplomat instead. Unfortunately, having been a soldier her entire life, she doesn't really know what she is doing. Being close to the queen however, none of the other pchelinaya objected. Saxi beelieves the isles are dangerous and she is better suited to being a diplomat than most.
Her mission is to explore the isles and make friends/allies on behalf of the hive.

"Hmmm..." Saxi buzzed.
There were actually quite a few things the ungainly giant could easily obtain for the Pchelinaya. The resins and beetle parts that they used for decoration and weapons came to mind. As proud as Saxi was of her victory against an ironclad beetle, and the trophies she gained from it, she doubted even a squadron of them could defeat a determined human child.
Still, things like that were more than just pragmatic. They were sacred, a source of pride. She wanted to secure their safety from the big people, and perhaps gain more safety with the big people. But it wouldn't do to have them fight all their battles for her kin. How demeaning, insulting even!
Feeling unsure of herself, Saxi gazed out of Lady Naoki's window. The curious barrier which had embarrassed her, it allowed for visibility but could not bee penetrated. The big people's structures, they weren't as elegant as her hives, but there was no denying that the big people could utilize materials that she could only dream of.
She looked down at her feet, on the ledger she was using as a foothold. Then she looked at the small pond that she had been offered to drink from.
Her antenna began flickering.
"Hmm, HMMM!" Saxi buzzed with excitement and started chattering in her native tongue to the queen, pointing aggressively at the window. Then she pointed at her feet.
Then she turned to Lady Naoki then gestured to the parchment.
The quill quickly sketched a crude picture of a glass window. And then it drew something that looked like a table.
"Thaaaaat stuuuuuuff. Veryyyyy uuuuseful." She pointed at the glass window.
"And foundaaaaaations. Help keep us saaaaaafe. Maaaake strooonger hiiives."
In fact, with the human's architectural assistance and supplementation of glass, the Pchelinaya could make the strongest hives in bee fae history!

Listening along, Lady Naoki looks down at the sketch, then over at the glass. “Glass? Tables? Certainly. We can arrange for all of that. Glass is in somewhat short supply, but I’m sure we could spare enough for your use.”
“This seems to me as the start of a wonderful and fruitful relationship. Let us sit and discuss the specifics…”
[Scene end]
