"Hmm... I hadn't thought of that. I'm not really sure what goes into cahrs," he admitted ruefully. "But the trading idea is a good one. Not everyone is an artist or sculptor of clay or paper. Trading something you've made or that you value in order to get something that you think they'll like... yes, I don't see why not."

The request to go with him to a shrine was unexpected, and it touched him deeply enough that Isuma raised her head to peep bright agreement, purring like a little engine beneath their hands as she felt his reaction to it. "I would be honored," he said, but his solemnity was ruined by the smile he gave to his mechanically-inclined friend. "And I would love to introduce you to Ludo.

"But it can be kind, too, and takes the responsibility of reassuring and guiding the souls of the departed very seriously. If we're going to go meet it we should bring something... hmm..." He tilted his head thoughtfully, then smiled across the table at his friend. "What was your favorite game as a child? Maybe we can come up with a physical representation of it to bring to the Shrine as an offering."
