Oh, they're yours... [ that answers the question she would not have asked, too, about his visiting here. not all of Set's acquaintances – friends? – make a point of attending his shrine. likely they have no need to; their relationship with him is not contractual as hers is, trading her devotion for safety. so Liem is here not seeking Set, the god, but Set, his shitty friend that doesn't return Tupperware. Ruby's thoughts leave her staring down at the scattered containers for a few seconds of silence, and then— ] Ah, I just dropped them everywhere, I'm so sorry!!

[ Rudbeckia lurches into motion, nearly stumbling to kneel on the floor where she begins gathering everything up once more. in the midst of her fluster, it takes a moment for her to realise that Liem is still lurking by the entrance, hesitating for some reason. she looks up, meaning to invite him in, and realises that slumbering in his direct line of sight is a dragon. Yes, that would obviously be a problem, wouldn't it? ]

It's okay, Fiore. [ her attention shifts, turning around to placate the creature: ] The signore is a friend of Set.

[ there is no doubt that, somehow or another, the dragon understands her – at the mention of Set's name, it releases a rumbling sigh as though exasperated, and relaxes. one eye remains open, half-lidded. that seems to be enough for Ruby, who refocuses on their unexpected visitor and his containers. ]

Um. Signor... Liem, isn't it? I'm sorry... If I had known these belonged to you, I would have brought them to you sooner.
