Nodding, he swallowed, the happy smile fading away once more. "I think something small would be nice." He glanced around at the room once more, which seemed lacking, now that its inhabitant was gone.
Sighing, he bit back his instinctual response to deflect or downplay his sorrow. Instead, he reached up to lay his hand over hers. "Thank you." He shook his head sadly, trying to muster up the amusement from earlier. "Gods help us if anyone walked in here right now. We look like we ransacked the place." However, his words were fond. Still, he bent down to start cleaning up at least some of the mess from the freak wind? spirit? event that had led them to the belongings that mattered.
