[Things Taako doesn't get a lot of from adults: affection.

He kind of wants to protest but just ends up huffing a little and looking away, a little embarrassed.]

Yes, please.

[Apparently hair ruffles were the secret to unlocking manners.]

[scholiast]

(Aw. Lucretia smiles, a little sadly. It's strange to know Taako like this, so young and mostly well-behaved.)

Okay. Let's get going then.

[spellslots]

Try to keep up!

[He's still a lil bit of a shit, which is why he half runs, half skips back towards the market, assuming Lucretia will be able to keep up. Her legs are a lot longer than his, after all.]

[scholiast]

(They are, so she's able to keep up just fine if she does a half-hearted power walk. She's forgotten what children are like.)

What's the rush for, exactly? The food isn't going to go anywhere.

[spellslots]

You don't know that. What if you change your mind?

[He's gotta make this deal worth it while the going's still good.]

[scholiast]

(Future Taako's trust issues are starting to make sense to her now.)

I'm not going to change my mind. Promise.

[spellslots]

Okay, okay. [He slows down a little, even if he's still kind of excited after the fireball and for the prospect of free food.] Do you know what kinda food is good?

[A lot of it is unfamiliar.]

[scholiast]

(She falls comfortably into step beside him. This is much better, because now her robes billow out behind her as she walks and it looks really, really sick.)

I've been enjoying the way fish is typically prepared here.
