"What I'm doin'...?" Chachan echoed. He wasn't entirely sure if what she was implying was sincerity or ribbing or what have you. He wanted to ask her for clarification - on exactly what it was he was doing if not something already on that list - but she had moved on.
"I... I dun think I could afford a house in th' Goblet..." he argued timidly, blushing a little in embarrassment and rubbing the back of his neck. "I jus'..."
He was interrupted again, this time by the return of his gil pouch. As soon as it was in his hands, he noticed the difference in heft. Curious, he pulled it open to glance inside at the extra coin that now filled it. He gasped a little in surprise, and then held it out once more.
"A-ah, I told ya didn't... need... payment..." he explained, his words losing strength as he watched her hurry away. He stood there for a moment, still as a statue, before a sigh escaped his lips and he melted into motion once again. Pouting a little bit despite his sudden windfall, he cinched the cord to his pouch shut again and returned it to its normal spot.
"Mmn..." was all he could manage as Avenger trotted up to nuzzle the back of his head.
