[It's a pleasant surprise to see Absinthe around town. Regis was just shopping for household items when he noticed the horned girl being harassed by an overzealous meat pie vendor. He watches the interaction with a smile before stepping in to help. While he doesn't blame the merchant for doing everything possible to close the deal, Absinthe can tell he's feeling a little overwhelmed.]

Do you really need that many meat pies? [He inquires with a humorous chuckle.] If so, I hope you're willing to share.

[Regis, unlike the previous time, clearly shows the effects of the dragonsoul within his flesh. He has golden scales on his forehead that eventually developed into protruding holden horns. Regis is horrified as the golden dragon that inhabits his soul appears to be finally beginning to fester. However, the long golden scaly tail he recently acquired is more of an inconvenience than a threat.]

[Absinthe does take a moment to adjust to Regis’ new appearance, but there are enough reports about the dragon transformations happening that it’s not an alarming thing. She herself is sporting a scattering of new scales like freckles over her cheeks, and her green eyes seem stranger than ever before, more catlike than humanoid. She will say, though-]

You look very shiny. [And to a thief, shiny gold is alluring.] But we can talk about that later- will you buy four with me and split it two ways?

[Regis’ offer seems to be the exact solution she’s hoping for, and she sounds delighted about it.]

I like meat pies, but four is a lot, and they don’t keep very well. I’m sure there’s technology to do that [like magic, or y’know, the exotic magitech “fridge”-] -but we don’t have that in Town.
