That ain't dancing, Sally

Positively tickled with herself for her idea, Iskra hoped she wouldn’t screw this up. She didn’t know why or how she came up with this deal, but now that she had she was pretty excited to see if it might be useful in the end. Never knew when it might be useful to call in a favor, after all! She did get into an awful lot of sticky situations, and he was tall, large, strong looking… maybe he could be backup? Oh, the possibilities! She’d outdone herself, truly. Naturally she did her best to keep any hint of her private thoughts from spreading to her expression, and anything that did show was overshadowed by her already mischievous nature.
Invested as she was in this deal of the ages(for her, at least), the woman found herself almost holding her breath as she awaited his response. To have a recurring deal with someone, that could be a heck of a trade. If it stood the test of time, well, she’d have herself a nifty little setup. What might come of it she couldn’t know, but that was half the thrill of setting this up on a whim!
Heartbeat quickened as she awaited his answer and- yes! Grinning wide as possible without straining something Iskra cried, ”Wonderful!” It was tempting to bounce around in a few lively circles, but she restrained herself and nodded, responding with a more controlled smile, ”Oh, absolutely. I’m sure I could do plenty to help you out. If I do well this time you can always give me different tasks the next time. I’m curious to see what you might cook up.” What would the titan propose when they saw one another again, supposing she did well in her herb gathering? It would be a hell of a surprise, surely.
Glancing at the plant he’d pulled up, Iskra contemplated her own lack of herbal knowledge. Maybe this would be a learning opportunity for her. The garden around them was wildly abundant with herbs of all kinds! Wandering towards one of the dilapidated stone ruins that stood nearby, Iskra glanced towards Malleus and asked, ”Now that we’re done with business, tell me, what did you come here looking for exactly? Maaybe I can help you find whatever it is.”
