Not really. Something practical? I don't know what he might need, though.

No, I don't think he'd appreciate it if I laced his tea with something. Gloves sound okay.

I don't know that we're friends. It's complicated. He got me a present, though, so I wanted to get him something too.

[ushiri]

Thank you. If you have time to meet you can show me which stall? And would you mind delivering it to him?

[ Eh, she's not wrong.

The question takes a second, though ]

We strongly disagree on some serious issues. I've given him reasons not to trust me.

[theidlemaiden]

[ushiri]

Not in the way that would solve our disagreement.

[ So, not in a way that matters to Viktor. ]

I'm glad he has a friend like you.

[theidlemaiden]

[ Knowing Viktor the way she does and knowing Kyle, Hilda can probably hazard a broad guess about what this might be about. But she's never trusted her own gut, nor does she want to pry too much into business that isn't hers.

Still, it's something to note. ]

[ushiri]

You're right, it does.

And I do.

[ He's glad to have met you, too. ]

[theidlemaiden]

[ The sentiment shines through, even over magical sparkly text. It brings a warm smile to Hilda's face. ]

Thank you, Hilda. You have a very big heart.

As big as the rest of your muscles.
