The young female was... surprisingly affable! Kai was struck for a moment, having convinced himself that she would decline his offer. Instead, she seemed quite excited by the prospect of receiving herbs from elsewhere in the realm. It was true that he had travelled quite frequently (read: nonstop) since his arrival in these lands, so he imagined it wouldn't be too terribly difficult. He gave her a quick, firm nod. "Of course, I will bring you suitable samples," he promised, feeling a comfortable sincerity in his oath. After all, she was doing him a service and it wouldn't be right of him to skimp on her.
She pressed him for his name, and Kaiwas at once alarmed that he had not proffered it to her from the get go. The blasted illness truly had muddled his mind. He coughed, feeling awkward and embarrassed by his lapse. "My apologies", he mumbled. "This sickness has dulled my courtesy. My name is Ankaios Aeris. I am frequently called Kai." The nickname did not mean much to him, though he thought back on his conversation with Basilysk with a hint of discomfort. It still felt odd to offer that bit of information up, but he hoped he would be seeing Zuriel frequently. It would likely aid him to make the girl feel comfortable in his presence, right?
