Fortunately for Beist, Morrigan Moonweaver - for all their feigned eloquence and the grandiosity with which they talked - had probably the lamest sense of humor on the face of Charon. Their lips cracked into a grin as they doubled over in a fit of giggles, wiping a fake tear out of their eye. “Swimmingly! Ah, indeed, my friend! I am certainly glad that it did, otherwise I would have been left feeling a little… crabby!”
They waved their hands in the air with a flourish at the joke, getting glitter all over Beist’s side, getting fistfuls of the shimmery substance in Beist’s wet fur, a parting gift that probably left the elderly gentleman not as impressed with his partner. Nevertheless, they dipped into a low, sweeping showman’s bow at Beist’s announcement of his departure. “Then I shall go ahead and inform the Consortium of our successful completion of the mission! I, too, should procure a change of clothes for myself - huh?”
They blinked as Beist offered Morrigan something to give to their small dragonkin apprentice. A little candy, wrapped in a pattern reminiscent of strawberries. They scrunched their nose up in thought, vaguely remembering seeing a similarly-patterned paper kept in Bubbles’s hoard. The child must have treasured the gift from Beist when they last met. Huh. Morrigan fell silent, trying to make sense of this little moment of kindness. Eventually, they shoved it in their pocket, determined to make good on a promise rather than simply eating the candy themselves.
“I will make sure he receives such a kind gift!” Morrigan said with a grin. “He still carries around that first little candy wrapper with him, you know. I shall tell him that you said hello. Now, without further ado - ta!” They said, one last wave of glitter emanating from their hand as they left before skipping back towards their wagon, crab leg tucked under their arm. They hoped Beist didn't see them struggling a great deal carrying it.
