The comment gets a solid smack to his chest from Leona's tail, the fuzzy tip tracing down his chest before falling over altogether with a thump. The beastman himself doesn't react otherwise, perfectly content using Malleus as a bed whilst the other's hand teases at his ears.

Who's to say what caused the outburst from the dragon. Perhaps it was after Leona had insisted on stealing a 'small' sampling of Malleus's fries. Or perhaps it was when he'd persistently gotten in the way of the other's reading in the garden, wearing him down until Malleus had begrudgingly allowed him to stay.

send me 🐾 and i’ll say what animal reminds me of your muse.

Ooc; Just ask directly 🤣 he doesn't need to hint hint nudge nudge.

He doesn't know how or why this man knows his birthday or where he came from, however, as a professional magician he does not fall short of strange situations in which he needs to adapt and go with the flow

" Ah mercy monsieur ? " he takes the absurd amount of money that was so generously given to him, altho judging by the way his words come out, he is pretty certain the man just wants to pay him to play a trick or two on president Rollo, rather than this being a birthday present.

" That being said, pardon my boldness if i may, but perhaps monsieur wishes to be my assistant for the next trick i have prepared for monsieur Rollo, hm ? "

        " NO! " She says, a little too quickly. The moment she saw his expression, she knew she had chosen her words poorly. Her heart had sunk with immediate regret. 

                                                                                          She had made a terrible mistake.

“Oh?” He eyes the small wooden figures arranged within the window front before them. “My, my. I had not noticed these before now. I believe I understand your fascination now as they seem quite detailed in their construction.” Another moment and then he steps past Shroud to the door, waving him to follow him as he does.

“Come. Let us venture inside and examine them more thoroughly. Such craftsmanship is worthy of a closer inspection.”

Idia immediately straightens and almost chokes, hands flailing as they struggle to grasp onto his hat to keep it from falling. “M-M-Malleus-shi!” He continues clutching onto his hat while his gaze flickers between the Diasomnia housewarden himself and the array of figurines in the shop window he’d been studying just a few moments ago. It's a little embarrassing being caught staring so openly at the display. He loved handcrafted items, especially when he could see how carefully made and detailed they were, but what if the others think it's silly to be interested in little figurines...

"Eh?" Before he knows it, he's staring at Malleus' back as he starts to walk inside the shop. After a moment of stunned silence, Idia quickly shuffles in behind him. "I didn't know you were into this kind of thing..."
