Lowering the credentials, yet keeping ahold of it for now, she gestures toward the offending limb. "All right," she says, doing little to try and hide the lingering mistrust in her voice. "But I don't have anything on me to trade, so we're gonna have to work something else out."

Miraculously, the postman manages to bite back the brunt of his knee-jerk reaction to this most unwelcome intrusion; only the curl of his lower lip and the slight jut of his chin suggest that it's all a very fragile facade indeed. It's not so much bravado as it is sheer indignation at this point— despite the little voice in the back of his mind begging him to give it up already.

"If it was so easy, then why am I still here." It isn't a question because he doesn't want an answer, considering it was luck, pure and simple. Luck and a coincidentally well-placed horse.

On the one hand, it could absolutely be handy to have one of the little buggers nearby— assuming said bugger wasn't going to try and eat his face in the middle of the night. On the other hand, well. It could try and eat his face in the middle of the night. But damn, whether he'd ever admit to it or not, it sure is nice to have somebody around to talk to.

Regardless, he isn't committing to an answer right this second.

[ What animal do you associate with her? // Accepting! ]

Lilli hadn’t expected to receive such a gift from the grunt. Did they celebrate something like christmas? She had never asked him about it so far, but apparently they did given the card and the wishes he wrote on it. How absolutely cute.

“ Can’t vait to try zhose sweets! And I absolutely need to get him something too! “

[ HOFI HOFI HOFI!!! // Accepting! ]

what color reminds your muse of mine?

“ Can you believe zhat it vould be green? Because it is green! “

[ Eavesdropping are we? // Accepting! ]

“ OH RIGHT!!! Rey? Did I tell you about zhat cute doc I met in zhat veird plain-looking vorld I visited? Oh, he is really adorable~! “

Her friend, and roomate, is quirking a brow at that. He was clearly displeased. She is not exactly... allowed to travel to other worlds. And of course he is scolding her about it. But he also mentioned that he is surprised that she likes him. Because he was pretty sure that the mage didn’t liked doctors.

“ Ughhh. You are no fun. Jumping to other vorlds is fun alright? And I mean. He is not a real doctor... I zhink. More like scientist-doctor or vhatever. ANYWAY! Hofnarr is quite zhe sweetheart and a funny guy I zhink! Bet you vould like him too if you met him, Rey! “ 

Her smile falters then for a moment though. Especially as she remembered what had happened at their last meeting. Her friend did notice the sudden change of mood, and asked what’s wrong.

“ He... does has something like an illness zhough? “

She doesn’t goes into detail. That would probably worry the other mage to much, and Hofnarr had seemed very reluctant to tell her as well.
