"I know most of the shopkeeps around here, I can get you a decent pair for a decent price," she assures him. "Just the three of us. I got here first, Jesper was only a couple of months behind me. You, however, are incredibly late. Far beyond any good dramatic entrance, it's just simply late now." She tsks at him, a disingenuous scolding.
She shrugs one shoulder at the question. "Soon, why?" she lets one corner of her mouth lift in a smirk. "Going to walk me home, Brekker?" It's doubly comical because he has no idea she actually lives in the inn, just upstairs, in a double room with Jesper. Hmm. How will that go over, she wonders? It makes that smirk slip up just a little more.
She doesn't let her gaze drop to their fingers, as much as she wants to. The less attention drawn to it, the better, she thinks, so instead she just hooks her pinky around his like some silly schoolyard promise.
"It's a lot," but she won't bother asking if he wants a halfway decent night's sleep before he gets it all. She knows him better than that. She doesn't hold anything back, from the war-ravaged countries to the magic in the place that they are all gifted with, the Singularity and the Horizon, the tiring politics between Thorne and Cadens especially. "...war is definitely coming, but it's hard to say if it's going to be soon or just an eventuality. The factions had a sham of a Peace Summit a few months back– it's when I moved from Solvunn to here, to be with Jesper. Better together than separated."
