in space the stars are no nearer; just glitters, like a morgue
With narrowed eyes - fine print Danta's ass - the Maverick accepts Asta's comments, both about the non-existant contract and his attempts to unbalance the other man. He recalls that in great detail at least, huffing out a reluctant agreement and accepting his next drink, setting it down on the bar a safe enough distance from the box that he won't risk knocking it over.
"Oh, I know," he drawls regarding the other man's prospects as a marriage partner, "why do you think I keep telling you no?" Smirking, because the only person he can think who might be worse at marriage than Asta is himself, the Maverick settles in and carefully reveals the gift he's been given.
And his jaw drops in open delight, Danta tilting his head - and the skeletal hand - this way and that to inspect it more closely, to see the way it hits the light. "This is exquisite," he purrs, reaching out to delicately touch one of the fingertips - the bones of them, anyway. "You are quite right, Asta. A shopping spree is in order." Laughing and setting the gift down so he might continue to preen and fuss over it, he does flick blue eyes up towards the butcher at least for a second.
"It's beautiful," he reiterates. "Thank you."
