Yeah, that's fair, none of this is our business, and we're perfectly fine keeping its point of origin secret, this is just our hobby more than anything else.
I don't feel the provisio is a big deal? Since it's only until yule, and we've got too many things to be worked on until then anyway.
[X] Accept
-[X] With the proviso that you're keeping secret where the seed came from, not keeping its existence a secret from our family.
I think we can just wait to plant it until after Yule. Other people hearing that we have a seed might make people go sniffing around his family and cause problems.
Edit: Deadman convinced me the proviso was worth it.
Eh... thought its something different.
Its just a confidence booster, and that is kind of pointless for us, no matter how interesting the plant is.
And, if its truly just that, there is no reason we should go around speaking about it aside from asking Steinarr if he heard of it.

Probably not.
Though it could have a "Steinarr recognizes that it is a plant only looking like Brazen-Heartleaf, but is actually dangerous" thing, then waiting till Yule would probably mean that Buriby suffers the consequences before we can warn them.

So. If we want to consult with Steinarr before planting this in our soulscape and want to plant it before hitting the Second Realm, we need to do that before Yule. I'd like to have 3 fully developed plants when we hit Second Realm, it may not be anything, but it might matter.
Side note, we're going to have to learn how to to prepare this ourselves. As we do not know how to do so. Although our brewery pocket will probably help. Or we're going to have to come back to Buri to prepare it. That said I can see why Buri's son was pretty defensive about that place.

"I accept, but with the condition that I only keep secret where the seed came from." You fold your arms as Buri's lips thin. "I won't keep its existence from my family."
"Then you shall have to go home empty-handed," the seed disappears into a pocket as Buri stands. Taking careful hold of the Brazen-Heartleaf, he turns to you and says, "I simply can't take the risk."
You frown and fold your arms, "And what makes you think I won't just spread this around?"
"Because I trust you wouldn't take more from me then you already have."
He turns and walks away—and you let him.
After all, he speaks the truth.
As you return to your men, Vagn turns a puzzled look to you, "So, we're just leaving? Just like that?"
Tryggr laughs and slaps him on the shoulder, "Welcome to the club, bud."
0~0~0 Sauna Time with Sten and Minna
You watch in horror as Sten throws more water onto the hot rocks, the steam heating the sauna up to truly unbearable degrees.
And you're sitting on the bottom bench—much to the enjoyment of Sten, Minna, and Blackhand of all people.
'Come now,' he chuckles, 'a little heat never hurt anybody!'
You scowl as you clamber up the highest bench, where Sten and Minna reside.
And then immediately stumble back down, the heat simply too much for your feeble form.
Little did you know, but the more Finns there are in a sauna, the hotter it gets. This simple truth of life scales drastically depending on where the Finn in question sits—the higher the bench, the hotter the sauna. Apparently, Sten is enough of a Finn to count.
You, of course, are not a Finn.
Still, despite the glee with which your Finnish comrades stoke the heat ever-higher, you can't help but find yourself relaxing.
At least there's snow to cool off in.

As you send your fylgja out across the hills surrounding your home, you spy what appears to be freshly disturbed snow bearing cat-like tracks that end as they reach a sheer cliff face before reappearing up at the top—the telltale sign of a skogtatt.
It seems you've got a wandering spirit in the area. But what's a skogtatt doing away from the mountains?

AN: Would you look at that, we got done with this nice and quick!
Well, it sucks, but it is what it is, we'll just have to give up. I'm unsurprised that getting weasely with the guy who keeps getting kicked in the balls ended badly.
But I made my feelings clear, and it is what it is.
I didn't vote so I don't have much stake in the discussion of losing access to the seed, but overall I'm not shocked, this man wanted complete secrecy for only a couple of turns, and we tried to weasel out of it. Just the hurdles of trying to do business with people.
