Ampere arched a brow as the Mi'qote across from him began to trace her name into the palm of his hand with her finger. He felt that he often understood the inclinations of quiet people, having been one himself for most of his life, but this was taking things to an entirely different level. Was she perhaps completely incapable of speaking at all?
The Elezen internally shook away his musings, it wasn't really his business either way. As long as he could understand what she was trying to convey, her method of communication was a non-issue.
"Nice to meet you Elle. I...trust I'm pronouncing that right." He said quietly as he reached into his satchel and withdrew a smaller pouch of gil than the one he had presented to the Miqo'te before. It was still a visibly significant amount nonetheless.
"So, I trust you were able to deliver the donation without too much trouble? I'm aware that the proprietor of the Blue Bangle Bakery can be a bit..." Ampere paused as he looked to the side. "...Insistent. If it's alright with you, I'd like for us to continue this kind of business arrangement for future deliveries."Â
He then hoisted up his mug and clinked it gently against Elle's own, taking great care not to spill any of the liquid that sloshed around inside. Turning his gaze to the ground behind him, Ampere nudged the still unconscious drunkard on the ground with his boot, eliciting an incomprehensible groan from the sleeping man. The lancer turned back to the Miqo'te and shrugged simply.
"...As odd as the arrangement is."
