JAMES
Ianto's pat was likely meant to be condescending and perhaps a bit rough, but James seemed to preen beneath the touch just the same. "Listen you, what's wrong with a bit of light-hearted banter between mates? I've not seen you in months and now it's all get to the point James, and I'm such a busy merchant, James." Had the fox said that latter bit? Ahh well. He probably would sooner or later.
Hopping off the counter, the thief paused for a moment before frowning. "Yeah, fair 'nuff. Worth an ask though, y'might've been packin'." Though glancing around the general state of the wagon, that wasn't the case.
"Alright, now don't go thankin' me all at once. I'll take your appreciation spread out over several weeks if you don't mind." James hummed, clearly quite proud of himself. Grabbing the end corner of his sack, he gave a dramatic yank, causing a good deal of stuff to fall out. Mismatched cups, bags of dried leaves and things, a number of spoons, a few chunks of something dark brown and course looking, and even a cracked teapot. Waggling his brows, hands open in a gesture of behold thy treasure, the thief waited expectantly for Ianto to begin lacquering him with praise.
