[D doesn’t have to admit to being worried about Liem’s increasingly discord-afflicted condition. Maybe he isn’t worried after all; maybe he’s just the type of person who doesn’t like feeling indebted to others. In any case, when he offers to help with Liem’s discord once they find what they’re seeking, Liem only has to consider the offer for a moment before nodding in assent.
Fair’s fair; if D wants to offer his own assistance in return for Liem’s help in finding his hat, Liem sees no reason to object.]
In that case — I’d appreciate the assistance.
[It’s nice of D to offer! Though maybe Liem would be less happy to hold D’s hand if he knew that the bare one has a gross parasite living in it.
But that’s a matter for later on. For the moment, Liem’s gaze wanders the greenery around them, pulled as if by a magnet up towards the “canopy” above, towards the object his magic is seeking.
Atop that giant white flower, he spies a tiny black hat.]
Ah — there it is. It doesn’t even look guarded.
[He’d been half worried they’d find the hat inside a bird’s nest or a spider’s lair. Given D’s flea-like jumping abilities, retrieving his hat shouldn’t pose any difficulty at all.]
