"That works," he laughs, although he'd still pay her. Accepting a fun little wooden carving is hardly a way to be compensated for putting up with him as a job. "Maybe next season, now that your office is set up." He's got a myriad of things he needs to finish, for Ludo, for himself, and his travels to Torchline will eat up most of his time he thinks. Plenty of time to enjoy her friendship before he lays himself bare and she realizes how abyssmal he truly is.
Ignoring further attempts from Goose to be goaded into grabbing at the stick, Iskra walks with an eye for the scenery they pass, and glances thrown her way. "A unicorn?" He smiles, nodding. "Yeah, I could make that. Surprised you're such a horse girl," he says a bit teasingly, because she rather struck him as someone who prefers the structure and order of society and all it can build over the wild tempest that is the unicorn.
As they round the next corner, he can see the rising steam of the approaching hot springs, and he claps his hands together. "Alright! Time to get payment for all our hard work before." He opens the door for her that leads into the springs, Goose slipping past too, though he eyes the water and the heat warily. He's content to gnaw his stick on the sidelines instead.
