[give her more credit, altaïr.]

I think—and I know it isn't an excuse—but I think looking after these lizards is distracting her from something that is upsetting her.
Make her work for it, but give her her win a little earlier, if you could?

[you know... girl things, but wanda's a little worried.]

[aquilus]

What is bothering her?

[Does he need to kill someone?]

[carmesi]

It’s… complicated. Feelings are complicated.

[no you don’t sir. yet.]

[aquilus]

That they are.

[Okay, but he will at a moment's notice. No one tell Hilda.]

[carmesi]

She’s working on it. I think it’ll get better, but… in the meantime, just let her have her win. Okay?

[aquilus]

I was going to anyway.

[He is aware this sounds very childish.]

I will do so sooner than expected.

[carmesi]

[her 'thank you' goes unsaid, but altaïr must know the sentiment is there.]

I'd be happy to take in two of the lizards that you name.

[aquilus]

Is my naming them a condition of your hospitality?

[carmesi]

[hm, honestly? not really. but wanda tries to play hilda’s game here. what would hilda do…]

Yes.

[aquilus]

[That's what he thought.]

Fine. I will let you and her know my selections soon.
