i have not! i've been working to keep this home tidy and presentable for when guests arrive. oh! or if the empress finally sees our value as spirits to come recruit us to her royal court...!
[ not likely?? ]
i'm simply resting. don't look too deeply into it.
and. er. yes! fresh milk would be amazing — it's love and offering of substance would add so much to a meal. the fattest cow you can find, milk her until your pail runneth over!
Your request shall be fulfilled. I estimate that I will be back in an hour. I have also been tasked by the Temples to bless the house of a family who has requested protection. As of late, my status as a refugee has proven to be advantageous.
[ on that note, this does bring him to an idea that's been churning in the back of his mind— ]
With our improved reputation, a meeting with the Empress is more than likely, as long as we employ an effective strategy. Tell me— are you a gifted seamstress?
splendid! i'll welcome you with open arms then. i would have expected you to settle with nearly expired milk from the market. i'm honored by such a bold gesture. could it be you're doing it to please me?
i've been known to spread my skills where needed. if there's something you require, i can assist. my mind is a sponge — always soaking in skills to better provide for those i hold dear!
I am generous. Those who have proven themselves to be worthy will reap the benefits of my benevolence.
Hm. To be blunt, I would like to vastly improve upon my wealth. While working at the Temples has afforded me a better understanding of this world and its people, it will never make me a rich man.
i think it's a craft you could benefit from. it helps with patience and precision... i'd pay money to wear one of your original designs, for what it's worth.
[ SHE'S FOCUSING ON HIM STILL. don't make her be anything but lazy today. ]
