Important Business Decisions (3)

"Take them inside first please, Rhefia. Heila, would you mind starting dinner then? I suppose we can eat earlier today and enjoy something sweet later tonight for dessert. I just need to finish up out here and get everything sorted for tomorrow."

Aka pouted at me as she gradually stopped moving in Rhefia's arms, the kit still staring pointedly at my breasts as her belly grumbled in displeasure, drawing a grin from us all as we watched the older Deerkin nod and begin walking inside, Ehretia and Ipoala both calming down and letting their Dama take them inside without any issue at all.

Comparing them to Aka was always an interesting thing since the kit was perpetually hungry and always ready to make trouble to assuage that hunger, and she was also by far more expressive and sociable then the two of them.

Ehretia was still very much shy of doing anything on her own or without her sisters nearby, and even around everyone else in the family she was a bit quiet and demure, which was interesting considering her parents were both rather social in comparison, but everyone is their own person after all~!

Then there was Ipoala, who was just as quiet as Ehretia but not shy like her, just a curious little Robinkin who was content to let others do the talking and begin any and all play or other activities while she just watched from the side, joining in if she felt like she wanted to.

It was interesting to see how different they all could be, and I was curious to know if that difference was going to remain into adulthood sort of like how it had for Camara and Aethisia, or with Kalia; they all had the same traits as their younger selves as the foundational blocks of who they were, but for some it was harder to see it.

Just thinking about all my babies was making me rather sentimental, and I had two more growing inside of me waiting to be born in just under a months time, and I had another baby growing inside Renna's womb, the first baby to be born from my own sperm thanks to my Systems.

But I had work to do, and that work came first at the moment since my future - and by extension, the future of my family - was resting on this winery of ours being successful and me being able to score a really good deal with Magistrate Fenkar for that property of hers.

And maybe even another property too to turn into yet another store, one that sold off my weapons and tools that I could make en masse for just some extra coin; nothing fancy, no Focuses, just simple weapons, armor and tools that anyone could find helpful to have.

For now though I was focusing on the wine we had made, and I went around and stored each and every vat into my inventory so that I could head on down to the glassblowing room I had, where I would begin my arduous yet fun journey of testing different methods and shaping unique bottles for each person.

I had to make sure to make the bottles beautiful but 'realistic' to be made by a person in large quantities, since if I had a bunch of perfectly identical, yet extremely challenging glass bottles, someone would become curious and do their best to figure out how I managed something like that, so...

They had to tread the line between being beautiful and being easily replicable by hand, which meant I needed to come up with some designs and some ideas on how to do so for each and every single one.

One of the things that popped into mind instantly as I began storing everything away was to stamp the glass with a design whilst it was still extremely malleable and let it cool down to retain that shape of the stamp, which would double as a unique twist whilst also being replicable.

For the bottle that Heila's wine would go in, that would be perfect since it would be a complimentary bottle to Rhefia's brandy, which I was going to go ahead and make into a more round and stout bottle instead of the tall, cylindrical wine bottles that most people were accustomed to.

Then Sari's could be given some 'handles' that were in the triangular shape of her ears, playing into the Catkin's appearance whilst maintaining her spicy and hot personality; Prixisia's was an obvious one, with a snake coiling around the bottle or scales indented into the glass, that would make it rather unique and interesting.

Of course, not everything needed to be unique, and instead I could rely on labels instead to give each bottle it's own character, with the shape being a rather secondary thought that didn't need to have as much driving force behind the marketing of the bottles.

The idea with the stamp was the best I had so far, something that would be simple yet noticeable on the bottle, and if I paired it with a nice wax seal that was made with a vibrant color, that would be more than enough to get people to look, at least I thought so anyways.

"That is a lot~ of wine~! About two dozen worth from just an hour or so of work~! Why don't more people do this?"

Renna just gave me a look as I grinned at her, the Duchess narrowing her eyes for a moment before letting out a sigh as she just shook her head and went inside, giving me a view that I realized all of my family had been blessed with since their birth or since they had met me; those wide hips swaying side to side, that dress doing little to conceal those juicy cheeks that were just inviting you to cop a feel...

It was just~ perfect enough to make me want to race forwards to do so, but the way she glanced over her shoulder and smiled at me only made that a certainty as I went inside with her, running my hands over her body as I whispered sultry things into her ear.
