Kaisel
A low chuckle escapes at the thought of him returning from a mere meeting with Dygra completely changed. "No, no, nothing so grand as that," he reassures to both Danta and Flora, though Charlie's temptation of turning into a dragon is still a shiny one. With everything so warm and light about the matter, his own broad grin tugs up in easy response to Flora's teasing. He swings his shoulder in against hers, an affectionate eye roll following. "Let it be known I've only ridden her as a dragon," he hums, more amused than anything else that she finally had to admit he hadn't been lying. "And, dragons make convincing arguments. It's the same reason Spice always gets to taste test when I'm cooking." So really, seeing what Dygra was all about seemed like the least he could do.
"Me?" he scoffs, shaking his head. "You're the one who's getting some special honor or another," he reminds, although he hadn't really considered that Charlie's invite might be like a timeshare presentation trap and she'd end up lecturing him all about Dygra the whole time. His face scrunches up at the thought. "She just knows the best people to invite to a festival to ensure a good time." Being them, of course. He assumes Asta and Danta as well, now that he knows them and they know Charlie.
At her last question though, he does stumble a bit, turning to look at her with a touch of a frown as her hand squishes his. "Oh, uh. Well, it was when you were still not talking to me. When you sent all those letters, actually." Not their finest moment, and he doesn't want to linger on it too long. "Anyway, I had been putting off the last part of the quest, for the parchment for us, so after you stopped answering I ran to the House of Midnight to try and book someone there in order to finish it. I thought Charlie worked there..." He laughs a bit at the memory, embarrassed at the mistake given her actual role. "She didn't, but she still let me draw her nude so I could finish Frey's quest." He clears his throat after dropping that part, squeezing her hand now. "Strictly professional, I can assure you, but we've been friends since. Clothed friends." As many clothes as Charlie is want to wear anyway, which is often more revealing than Flora's wardrobe.
As talk of antler ranks shifts back to the matter of the hot tub, Danta finally grants some clarity to the joke everyone else has apparently been in on. Kaisel's features scrunch with newfound confusion, all the while thinking they were debating to hot tub or not. "Wha—all of us? Naked?" He asks her plainly, the syrup of her suggestion seeming to imply as much, but it's taken him so off guard he'd rather risk being another butt of a joke than misunderstand what sounds wildly insane for some friends to do.

Wanted me to fail out of spite, I didn't
All bark but they don't bite, they timid
All bark but they don't bite, they timid
Wearing a watery blue, faded and stretched-out sparkling hair tie on his left wrist
