The longer she drug out the reveal the harder it became for Malleus to pay attention to their surroundings, but he refused to let her get any satisfaction from that fact. He schooled his expression into a carefully sculpted mask of skepticism. If he were lucky she'd sweat under the weight of his critical gaze, but she seemed so excited about what she brought him that he doubted that would be the case. Oh well, he'd get his chance to give her shit eventually. He just needed to be patient. Each roll of the bundle produced something new. It appeared each plant had been properly dried and stored. Nothing appeared damp, wilted, moldy or crushed. Although he wouldn't admit it just yet, Iskra had done well. The cannabis surprised him, earning Iskra a snort and a low chuckle. He knew what it was and vaguely what it did, but he'd never personally tried it or used it for anything. Nudging the plant with a paw, he murmured, "Trying to tell me something?" Maybe 'loosen up, asshole'? After the bundle was completely unrolled and everything was laid out for his inspection, then (and only then) did he finally break down and nod his approval. Unaware that she was smiling for another reason, he returned Iskra's grin. "You did good, really." He nodded towards the trillium. "That one's tough to find." It finally occurred to him that there may have been more to her shit eating grin than he'd first realized. Malleus eyed her suspiciously. Half joking, half serious, he asked, "Should I be worried?" |
