Scoffing at the murderous intent behind the voice dripping honey in his ear, Danta nevertheless swats at the butcher's backside with the spaded tip of his tail (since, you know, his hands are full). "I'd prefer it if you stepped closer to one of those brooms and helped me do this," he quips, though it's without any real heat to it; heat is a commodity he's having to start to ration by now anyway.
On the plus side, it takes only a fraction of the time to help clear the residual mud from the roadway, and at long last, the cart is free and one of the main pathways into the Inner Quarter is once again open for business. Handing off the broom and stuffing his cold, greying hands into his pockets, Danta is forced to linger for a couple of moments to give a few further orders and make more preparations, anticipating residual paperwork even with Kiada's tight hold on the region in their absence.
But that's for tomorrow.
"Okay," he says with a smile that's all teeth to hide the way they're trying to chatter. "Let's go the fuck home for that shower?"
