To felines it is a stimulation and they get the same satisfaction from rolling in and eating the leaves as we do from drinking " "The Salariki are, in a manner of speaking, felines " Van Rycke mused. Tau straightened. "The Salariki have discovered catnip, I take it?" Van Rycke nodded at Dane and for the second time the Cargo-master apprentice made his report.
For one of the Salariki, who had continually manifested their belief that Terrans and their ship were an offence to the nostrils of all right living "men," to wish to enter the spacer was an astonishing about-face. But any advantage no matter how small, which might bring about a closer understanding, must be seized at once.
Everything is all right so it wasn't the planet after all it was that dirty old Free Trader. And she's out of the way. I-S gets the Koros trade all square and legal and we're no longer around to worry about! Neat as a Salariki net-cast and right around our collective throats, my friends!" "So what do we do now?" Weeks wanted to know.
He held the torch watching to see how the Salariki made use of them. Groft led the advance running lightly out along the reef with agile and graceful leaps to cross the breaks where the sea hurled in over the rock.
And they did not doubt that Kallee had, in some way, triggered the scales against them. Jellico made the best of it. "We accept challenge," his voice was level. "We, being guesting in Groft's holding, will fight after the manner of the Salariki who are proven warriors " He paused as roars of pleased acknowledgment arose around the board.
Cam had not left many clues concerning the religion of the Salariki, but the storm priests had, in narrowly defined limits, power, and their recognition of the Terran Traders would add to good feeling. In the knot of storm priests a Terran stood Medic Tau and he was talking earnestly with the leader of the religious party.
And now he stood there in the early morning, stripped down to shorts and boots, wearing nothing on which a net could catch and so trap him. The Free Traders were certain that the I-S men having any advantage would press it to the ultimate limit and the death of Captain Jellico would make a great impression on the Salariki. Jellico was taller than the Eysie who faced him, but almost as lean.
Kallee replied: "We'll take up your contract, at a profit to you, and you up-ship before the Salariki are confused over whom they are to deal with " "And the amount of profit?" Van Rycke bored in. "Oh," Kallee shrugged, "say ten percent of Cam's last shipment " Jellico laughed. "Generous, aren't you, Eysie?
All the Salariki were young and the parties babbled together in excitement. It was plain that this hunt, staged upon a large scale, was not only a means of revenge upon a hated enemy but, also, a sporting event of outstanding prestige.
"Anisette, a liquor made from the oil of anise from seeds of the anise plant. It is a stimulant, but we use it mainly as a condiment. If it is harmless for the Salariki it ought to be a bigger bargaining point than any perfumes or spices, I-S can import. And remember, with their unlimited capital, they can flood the market with products we can't touch, selling at a loss if need be to cut us out.
