Ryuukei walked into the green dragon, or rather limped into the green dragon. Ignoring the pain, Ryuukei asked Duval, "so how is the sales going so far."

Jeff Duval smiled as he drained the glass in his hand, swallowing its contents in one hefty swig. "Ahhhhh.." he responded. "I was just having a glass of Vulcan ale... I miss my mate.." he mused with a smile. "As for the sales.... well.. you tell me" he indicated the empty shelves nearby.

Ryuukei looked at the shelves with an incredulous look," Wait, they ALL sold out already."

"Yep." Duval responded. "Same with those on the Tranquility, Argonne and Dreamcrusher too." Duval poured himself another drink. "The whole lot went in about two hours..." as the com system beeped at him.

He turned as he tapped the display. the face of April Yamaguchi appeared. "Hello.." she greeted him with a gentle smile that could hide a thousand knives.

Duval regarded April. "What can I do for you?"

"I want one of those plushies I keep hearing about... Do you have any?" the Fleet Admiral inquired.

"I'm totally sold out... I have more on order however..."

"Ahh... Well.. I'd like to place an order.." April did not sound disappointed or surprised however.

"Consider it done... any one you'd like?."

"Surprise me..." April responded. "Ryuukei..... I heard you came up with the idea of making these in the first place... and what you had to go through with various females to get it."

Ryuukei winced at the comment then peered at the comm panel," How did you even know I was here."

"Oh I know everything that happens on my starbase." April responded. "I know that Ensign James Sanderson is seeing his section head on the side. Lieutenant Ruth Davidson." she explained. "Also that Lieutenant Cameron Johnson and Lt Commander Nicola Milliband are seeing each other despite the fact that their various spouses don't know or approve." she shrugged. "I know that James Ellison is trapped in a loveless marriage with a woman who hates him." she sighed. "But like I said.... I know about everything that happens around here..."

Ryuukei didn't comment on the fact that April mentioned nothing but relationships, instead he changed the subject, " So all you really want was to place an order for a Kurokuri plushie." Something else then occurred to Ryuukei prompting him to ask," And how many did you want."

April raised an eyebrow. "Oh..... Daniel was asking about them... so was Kimora.. " she responded. "Torilla might want one too..."

Ryuukei raised an eyebrow. "I gave Torilla one already, this morning."

April raised an eyebrow as she slowly smiled. "Wrong Torilla.. but I need to spank.... Ahem.... I mean talk to that woman.." she then smiled. "I've missed my sister in law."

Ryuukei now looked confused," Wait, there is another Torilla, I though there was just the one and her alternate universe doppelganger."

"Yes.." April responded. "There is also my seven year old daughter Torilla..." the Fleet Admiral responded with a smile.

Ryuukei sighed, without saying anything else.

Duval smiled. "So.... three?"

"Four" April responded. "I will send payment for them when I order okay."

"Sounds good Admiral. i'll handle it..... anything else?"

"No... thanks though... Yamaguchi out." and with that the screen went black.

Ryuukei breathed a small sigh of relief, then stood up, wincing a little from the pain, while commenting," Well, I guess it worked pretty well huh."

Duval missed nothing. "Speak for yourself.... I recommend some ice for that..."

Ryuukei gave Duval a look. "I wasn't talking about that."

"I know what you were talking about." Duval answered evenly. "So... how long before i can get more in?"

Ryuukei ran a quick calculation," Well given the sheer volume of orders, "ill definitely have to put more robots on the task, should be a couple of days before the next batch is ready."

Duval nodded. "Alright.." as he picked up a PADD. "Lets see... Including the Admiral and her four... I have orders for sixty one plushies...

Ryuukei sighed, rubbing his rear end," Yeah, and I expect those orders to multiply exponentially."

"I do too." Duval responded evenly "Besides we will see..."

Ryuukei nodded, then noticed Moni Nasao looking right at him, while Leadfoot had a rather amused look on his face.

Moni Nasao smiled as she slowly licked her lips. "You sure you are okay with this?" she said to Leadfoot.

Leadfoot shrugged," I'll be honest, at times, I really cannot keep up with you, so I am fine with you working off a little energy with someone else. I just ask you be a little careful since your pregnant, but that's all I ask."

Nasao smiled. "I will be fine." she responded.

Leadfoot smiled," Have fun then."

"I will." Nasao responded. "I'll try to behave.... somewhat."

Ryuukei pulled out his Padd to write down some notes, completely oblivious to Moni Nasao approaching.

Nasao smiled. "Ryuukei... Don't you want my measurements?"

Ryuukei responded with a soft purr, then replied," Um, what for."

Nasao regarded him with her eyes. "I am cute and adorable...." she commented

Ryuukei finally figured what she was meaning," Oh, you mean for the plushies, OK. well this is a first, never had anyone approach me and ask before."

"Why.... whats wrong with a Caitian plushie?" the taller female inquired.

Ryuukei shrugged," Well, I just have never had anyone outright ask me to make a plushie of them."

Then leadfoot walked over, and with a slight purr, commented," You know Ryuukei, I have changed me mind, you can make a plushie of mee too."

Ryuukei looked at leadfoot, back to Moni, back to Leadfoot, then back to Moni, asking," O.K. I am sensing you really want something else from me."

"Well it is only fair.... you want something from us... I want something from you." Nasao responded evenly

Ryuukei looked at both of them an asked nervously, "OK and what might that be."

"I want... you." Nasao responded. "For about twenty minutes.... at my place.." she explained. "I promise not to claw you.."

Leadfoot smiled at Ryuukei, saying," Besides, it should be fun for you."

Ryuukei had his tail curled up in front of him, " Um, will it hurt?"

Leadfoot looked at Moni, then looked back at Ryuukei," Nah, wont be too bad."

"You'll be fine" Nasao responded. "Shall we then?"

Ryuukei gave off a nervous purr but allowed himself to be led off by Moni.

Duval smiled as he lifted the PADD before him. "Mmmm... now at 72 orders.." he then placed it back down. "I wonder how long this will last?"

Leadfoot shrugged. "who knows."

Duval regarded the PADD in his hand before he shifted his attention to Leadfoot. "It'll last as long as it means to. Besides... for now all my orders are coming from the Fleet. These plushies have not yet hit the civilian market yet..." he then shrugged nonchalantly.
