Two things, one, this update is awesome and you should feel awesome; two:

Korin>Ask Sang what she thought of the story

You turn and ask Sang what she thought of the show cause, you know, you're just curious and stuff.

Sang
<div style="margin-left:40px">Well, it was quite a lovely love story. I found it sad that they were forced to be apart for so long. I don't know how I would feel being separated from even my family for that long, let alone someone I loved. Tui and La must've been very strong for them to have lasted thousands of years. I wonder, will I meet someone who will treat me like that?</div>

You suddenly find your cheeks burning. Quick, think of something before Sang sees your face!

> Bury your face in sweet snow so nobody can see the emotions written all over your face. Realize afterwards that sweet snow is cold.

Korin>Get Sweet Snow

Whew, is it getting hot in here? You suggest getting some Sweet Snow to satiate their appetites. Sang happily agrees, and soon you begin to head towards the back of the alley. There, you see a large crowd, but strangely, they're gathered around the toy shop instead of the Sweet Snow shop.

Strange. The name Sweet Snow alone should've sent kids in droves.



When you arrive, you see a middle-aged man sleeping at the counter. Next to him is a sign that says closed. Ok, what gives?

Korin>Suggest going somewhere else

Huh, well, whatever happened here, you can't really help it. Guess you'll have to come back later, although you would've like to have had tried some Sweet Snow. You decide to check out the nearby Toy Store, but when you turn to Sang to make this suggestion, you notice something in her eyes that makes you stop.

Sang's Thought Process

SpoilerShow

You have been working in your father's store for years now, mastering the art of service and customer support. In fact, it can be safely said that you are the prime resource for customer-related needs in your store. So, one of your biggest pet peeves is really, really poor service. You quickly recall the time at a noodle shop when the waiter was chatting up a hottie as your food he was holding was getting cold. You also remember delivering a very complicated suplex maneuver on his lazy butt.

And look who's sleeping on the job. Time to do some remedying here.

Sang
<div style="margin-left:40px">Korin, I'm going to attempt to wake up this idiot. Any suggestions?</div>

You can see the anger flaring up in Sang's eyes, so you waste no time in giving suggestions.

>I'm guessing the waterbender he worked with isn't there at the moment, huh? Or if he's the waterbender, then he's not really doing his job much. Either way, call out to the man.

You suggest that maybe she call out to the man, disturb him quietly as to not suddenly scare him. Sang agrees to disturb him.



Huh, not a peep from the guy.

>Prod the man

You suggest to softly prod the man, just to motion him awake. Sang agrees to do some prodding, alright.



This guy's quite the heavy sleeper.

Wake him up by pouring Sweet Snow down his neck.

Maybe you can wake him up by splashing some water on him? Sang agrees to using water.



As amazing as Sang's strength is, she forgets just how heavy a very large jug of water can get.

<div style="margin-left:40px">Yaaawn. Why, hello there, didn't notice you. What can I do you for?</div>

Korin>Ask for Sweet Snow

You tell the man that you would like to buy two bowls of Sweet Snow. Unfortunately, the man just stares at you for a bit before he answers.

Vendor
<div style="margin-left:40px">Umm, I can't really sell them right now.</div>

You see immediately jump up from behind the counter.

Sang
<div style="margin-left:40px">Why not? Don't you have the ingredients to make it here?</div>

Vendor
<div style="margin-left:40px">Well, the thing is that I'm just the guy who sells them. My wife is the one who makes them.</div>

Sang
<div style="margin-left:40px">Well, then where is she?</div>

Vendor
<div style="margin-left:40px">You see, the nice man who owns the toy shop and my wife are rather competitive, especially around festival days. I don't know why, since they both sell completely different things. I guess you tend to grate each other when you are neighbors for ten years.

So anyways, tonight there was this big crowd around our stand, lots of little tykes and such. The Toy Shop owner didn't have as many customers, so instead, he enticed them over to his stand with some special toy he was saving. When my wife saw our line thin, she immediately began to complain at the man. They got into this huge fight, but were going nowhere, so they decided to take this out somewhere else.

So, they went to go play Pai Sho to settle their argument. And since I can't actually make Sweet Snow, I decided to close for a bit and take a nap.</div>

Looks like its time to get swept into shenanigans that will inevitably force you to beat one or both of the parties involved in Pai Sho before you can get what you want.
Go to that Pai Sho game.

>Shyly admit to Sang that you're still kinda a newbie at the game. As much as you don't like to like to show you don't know how to play, it's way more better than acting like a fool who pretends to know. The ruse would fall too quickly anyway.
