Senecio's reaction seemed to encourage the demon, and he grinned a little wider, as he seemed finally able to tell what he really wanted.
" Well... since there's never a perfect moment to say it without sounding sappy... I just wanted to give you what I promised you last time. You remember... when we discussed what happened between us that one time, I told you I can't forgive you for all that stabbing thing just yet, but that I'll give you my reply if I see you're treating Tide well by the time I come back to the sea next time, " he waved away his hand as if it wasn't a big deal, but by slight embarrassment and a brighter more bubbly feeling, Senecio felt this was definitely something Erdel looked forward to saying for a while. " I'd have given it to you when you came to the capital, but with Death dying, it didn't feel proper to dwell on the past in front of him and make him needlessly nervous... but yes, all in all, I just wanted to say I like how you're living so far, and that I forgive you for stabbing and poisoning me and all that, and that I'd appreciate you getting rid of any pesky blame around it if there's any left, " he spoke the words rather simply and pragmatically as if he were trying not to make it a big deal for actor to accept, though his feelings clearly marked this was, unusually, something he seemed rather happy to give. " Beings often give some of their cool dramatic blessings to show mortals they don't hold grudges and look favourably upon their future, but since I don't have any blessings and I wanted to do this with proper weight, I thought giving you a little something fun would be fitting, so, " he grinned just a little, and timidly adding, waving his hand to the jar as if indeed giving a real blessing, as if hoping it'd be easier for Senecio to accept his sentiment if he added some flair and tease to it. " May your new life be blessed with a lot of fun, and please, seriously, don't mistake my fully innocent wish as underhanded flirting, or we'll both have a needlessly bad time. If I could do or say anything to reassure you that I neither desire to seduce you with presents nor blame you for what happened anymore, it'd be just honestly a great bargain for me. "

" Okay then... I'm only going to ask this so directly because hoping you'd suddenly realize it isn't working... we rode for quite a while, so we're not that far from Forth city by now, and there are quite a few quality shops there... I hoped that with your new given freedom to choose whatever you desire you may get a sudden desire to go buy Lipka something nice before she comes, " Falcon admitted a little embarrassed. " Mind you, more than that, I think it'd be really fun for *me* if I could get to buy you some cool trinkets or food, or maybe we could even visit a couple of expensive weapon shops so you can try out different weapons and see if you like anything like I promised you this morning. But more than spoiling I'd love to do, don't you think you ought to give something symbolic and nice to Lipka? I feel sort of bad for having to say it myself, but since you literally gave me magical clothes and a magical medallion, it feels a bit dreadful to not at least give her a little something that clearly shows you think of her equally, " he smiled a little frailly. " Because, while your bubbly favorability toward me is quite reassuring to me, I can't help but think it might end up feeling pretty bleak to the other party... "
