IANTO
Similarly leaning back against the wagon, Ianto raises his eyebrows and lets out a breathless sort of laugh to hear the monstrous combination of animals that Remi can shift into. ”Didn’t want anything fluffy or not-deadly, huh?” he murmurs, before his gaze also turns mischievous. ”Shark tail, scorpion head, lion paws at the back, hawk talons at the front. Tiny little wings. I bet you’re gorgeous,” he quips, sounding proud and absolutely, definitely right about this.
”I might like being put in my place, but not so much being beaten to a pulp, Remi. I try to avoid that where possible these days, after my colourful past.” The past where he’s consistently beaten and wriggling under someone’s thumb, he means. That past. Still, he gasps dramatically at the prospect of being robbed, sipping delicately at his tea and huffing. ”I can just give you some to go, you know. Wasn’t aware wagon-thieves were so prevalent as to be right in front of me.”
Still, the actual advice under the snark is appreciated, Ianto tilting his head and nodding a bit, finishing off his tea and exhaling softly. ”Well, like I said, keen not to be beaten up. I’ll see what happens after these monsoons, make the right deals and connections where I can. Thanks, though.”
