[D2 EM Ivindi Quarter Karuvah Manor] Currying Favor (or something)

[Arash Karuvah]

She frowns a little but happily takes the date.

"I simply don't see why one of the Shudra should need to dirty themselves with cleaning our chamberpots when an outsider could do it. I mean for important service we would still rely on them of course - but I am sure they would be most pleased to not have to handle the more foul tasks."

Arash felt exasparated. "That is not how karma works dear, and you know it. We shouldn't buy outsiders and foist unclean duties on them." He took another sip of tea. Yes, coffee will be good.

"Besides, the shudra deserve some respect and space. Their work is important too."

[Jewel]

She sighs and nods, "Well that is why I was trying to grant them the small mercy of not engaging in such disgusting chores even if it is their karma to serve." She shakes her head and sips her tea, "But I shall relent for now."

Arash shook his head. "Thank you." He stated for now, deciding to leave the topic alone. "I think I'll spend some time later bringing some supplies to the poorer neighborhoods. Would you care to join me?"

[Jewel]

Her nose wrinkles a little, "Why husband, if it is not their karma to serve than surely it is also not their karma to be served in turn. You should save your attentions for our people."

[Arash Karuvah]

"I consider it good diplomacy." He replied in an even tone. "But I understand." He relented. Not a good idea to devolve into an argument. Again.

"Perhaps you can join my sister at court? I rarely visit, as she likes to throw it in my face, so perhaps you could?"

[Jewel]

"I suppose one of us should do some proper diplomacy." There's a soft laugh, as if to suggest the barb was a jest, but it reaches neither eyes nor heart, "Is there any message you would wish that I convey to her?"

Arash thought fo a while..."Trade is good? We are friends? We like trade?" he shrugged. "I am not a man of words, though I am sure you noticed that. And may have reminded me of it." He shrugged.

[Jewel]

Another smile, "Never fear beloved I shall speak eloquently on your behalf, I assure you."

[Arash Karuvah]

"Good, good! Have you met any people here in the city already? Anyone friendly?" He finished his tea, and extended a hand towards some naan. "Care for some?"

[Jewel]

"A handful. I am still getting settled and the household set up but already some of the community have reached out among my family and others."
