[Avery makes a short, sharp noise of surprise, fruit flying out of his hand and off somewhere into the forest, and then reaches up to try and swat away Ekkehardt's fist.]
It'll catch a ton of people! If you don't believe me, we can even keep a scorecard to see who managed to catch more.
We'll see. The proof is in the results, after all. [ He lets out a small, huffy laugh, swatting back at Avery's hand. ] I'm telling you this for your sake, you know! You're the one who needs to feed on souls.
[ And when did it become about doing things for him? He doesn't know. He's only just started thinking about it, and he wishes he hadn't. ]
[Avery's eyebrows raise a fraction, but in an instant he's turned on his heel, waving a hand dismissively and keeping his back to Ekkehardt in order to hide his expression.]
Yeah, yeah, I get it... Just don't be too negative or I won't let you have the remains.
Hmph! You say that like I'm incapable of finding my own food. [ There's no bite to the words, because he's replaying the conversation in his head and sinking slowly into the realisation of the fact he might not hate him after all. That alone is startling enough.
Anything else will have to wait. He doesn't want to think about it. ]
I suppose not. [ He grumbles a little, mostly for show. ] I'm not arrogant enough to turn down a free meal, especially when you offering anything for free is rare enough as it is. [ Well, relatively free, anyway. ]

[He knows he wouldn't. (And maybe, just maybe, it's the least he can do to pay the wizard back for all he's done.)]
