Carlo
"Ah, you're not that bad. Don't be so down on yourself," Carlo says with a broad grin; evidently their act of running the hell away from Finch just a week or so before is already water under whatever bridge to trouble he's started to build since. Hence his offer of the honey cake in exchange for any interesting bits and bobs that might have found their way out of other people's pockets and into Finch's, and he looks appropriately awed and dumbfounded at the coin that apparently springs out of his ear.
"How did you do that?" he asks, intrigued and rubbing behind his ear, despite the way the entire honey cake plate wobbles precariously in his remaining palm. He glances up just in time to spot his twin approaching, about to ask Calan for the password before remembering that it's only necessary when being very sneaky at foot-level under tables.
Nodding automatically - Calan covers everything Carlo had intended to before he'd become distracted by having very rich ears - he also spots the spriggan on his brother's shoulder, offering her a smile. "Hallo Oria," he chirps. "This is Finch. He's going to find something good to trade for honey cake, but you can just have some if you want."
He might only be young, but he's learned already that bribing their fathers' companions is a very good way to keep from being told on too early.
