[Hanekoma's grinning as casually as ever, but he looks a little flushed, and are those dark circles under his eyes?

That's definitely a drippy-looking nose. Maybe he shouldn't have been running around in short sleeves and sandals after all.]

Heyyyy! Had fun with your party?

I was just wonderin' if anybody out there's got tea leaves they're willin' ta trade. I prefer green, but I'll take black or herbal if that's what you've got.

[Thoughtful.] I can trade ya fresh eggs, meat, or --

[He turns the camera to display a half-finished tempera mural in black and white covering one wall of his room -- it's a boldly outlined forest of graffiti-style skyscrapers seen from above, dwindling down to tiny streets under a brilliant sky.] --we can work out a trade for some wall art.

[He pauses to stifle a hacking cough.] Speak up quick, just in case goin' out gets tricky again in a day or two!

So now we've got some full size monsters, huh? Seems like a good week for stickin' close to home, between those things out there and the snow.

I've gotta admit I'm gettin' a bit sick of the homebody life over here, though - anybody got a decent pair a shoes size 25 or bigger? I'll trade ya coffee beans or an art commission for those. Same goes if you've got a bottle of liquor lyin' around anywhere.

If ya do and you're not livin' in Latimir... we'll work somethin' out for pickup. Stay in.
