At his offer to allow her to finish what she was doing, her ears flicked as she returned to internal debate. It would be nice to be able to salvage everything she had managed to collect from the strange storm that day. Finally she came to a conclusion, settling on his sapphire gaze once more as she went to put her thoughts to words. "Would you come with me?" Kiliaen asked, hesitating a moment before continuing. "It will only take a moment." She finished as if she really needed to put more work into convincing him.
She was very much aware of his movement at her side. So when he paused, she did as well. As he reached for his bag, her attention followed. At the flash of the bottle he held in his position, it took her a moment to recognize its contents. But his words enticed a short bought of laughter. "Who would I be to turn down such a considerate invitation." She joked back matching his tone with a one-sided smirk. She looked ahead a moment as she put some thought into her next quip. "Though, I am really intrigued by how you intend to light a candle with a bottle of wine." Kiliaen daftly added, though it was another attempt to make him laugh. She was well aware that wasn't what he had been insinuating with the bottle in his bag.

The few that weren't weighed down by the smooth river stones were scattered. With a brief sigh, she pulled away from his side to gather the ones she could find before returning them to the spot she placed the others. As she gently placed them on the ground, she rested her paw on top of them so she wouldn't have to chase them again. Lending her attention back to Balthier, she met with a look of deep thought, but clearly playful. "So, tell me something about yourself. It could be anything." She suggested, not caring how big or small the details he chose to share. In the meantime, she would casually glance back down at her intended task, and set to work.
