[ Hilda doesn't actually think Thancred is Cid's level of old, but she doesn't have to let him know that. In fact his response makes her think that it might be fun to tease him about that very thing which is unfortunate for him.

Regardless she leaves it there.

The fateful day rolls around and she arrives only a couple of minutes late as she is want to do. Unsurprisingly she's a bright spot amidst the darker colours of the pub. But while her arrival draws a few eyes she doesn't seem bothered by them as she breezes by everyone towards Thancred's table. Sliding into the seat across from him, she grins. ]


I feel like I haven't seen you in ages! [ Leaning forward she peers at him as if scrutinizing something on his face. ] Did you get more wrinkles since I last saw you?

[ Never mind that the one and only time they'd met had been in the Horizon. But details. ]

[ Don't worry, Thancred. Even if he were trying to court her she'd tease him in exactly the same way. And if that really were the case in this hypothetical scenario, that was how he'd know that she likes him instead of putting on some front.

She offers him a thoughtful look because that could very well be the case. But - ]


Wouldn't that mean that you were wishing for days when you were younger?

[ As soon as she's said her final word on the age joke, she's quick to place her order with the server with a cheerful air. With that sorted, she wastes no time reaching into her bag to pull out the gift. Without knowing how people carry their Triple Triad decks, she's gone ahead and found a nicely carved wooden card box with a wheel of the arcana symbols on it that she slides across the table towards him. ]

It was sort of a fun project if I'm being honest. The most annoying thing was not knowing what cards there were exactly - so hopefully you don't mind a few Abraxas variations. [ She gives him a forlorn sigh. ] But if you really feel bad about burdening me with this, I wouldn't say no to payment in kind in the future.

[ Hilda's lips curl, both in approval and amusement at how easily he rolls with the punches of her teasing. ]

Spoken like someone who's been around for longer than I have.

[ Okay that was the last comment she'll make about his age for the next little while. The server reappears dropping a warm cup of cider in front of her and she smiles appreciatively at them before curling her fingers around the warmth of the mug. Settling back in her seat to watch him examine her gift there's an air of a parent self-satisfied that her present was being received well. It alludes to the prickle of anxiousness that had clung to her as she had worked on the cards over the course of the last several months taking her time to sketch and paint each one.

The cards at the top of the deck are ones she recalls from their lesson in the Horizon: a cactus with a funny little expression, the faces of people that she didn't know but were oddly distinct, creatures that didn't exist here but ones that she knows existed in his, a Demonic Beast, a moogle, and the small woman that he'd described fondly as Tataru. She hums in thought. ]


Gold seems silly. I didn't make this to be paid and I wouldn't know what to charge. [ Her head tilts. ] So just a favour to be cashed in in the future?

[ The comment being left unsaid is probably for the best because he might be dismayed (but probably not at all surprised) to hear that she actually cared very little for elders who hadn't earned her respect. Age alone didn't mean anything as far as she's concerned.

But seeing as he didn't, he earns a little carefree shrug. ]
ย 

I could make more. It was a fun project. That and you can't play this game alone, I'm assuming.ย 

[ And she seems to genuinely mean that despite her typical aversion to work. Then again, this isn't really something that would fall intoย Hilda's definition of the word. Projects that she started, ones that she has a vested interest in, are more of a hobby than anything else. And if it's a creative project? All the better.

The cards were all thick, matte cardstock. She had wanted something that would last since they were intended to be handled and the inks and paints she had used were also set with a protective layer so that they'd withstand the oils from whoever touched them. In short, she had put a lot of thought into it. As to why, well - ]


It'll just be a little favour. And as for saying something, anything more than thank you will just embarrass me. I really appreciate that you took the time to teach me something and that you didn't just pulverize Mogwry into a ball of fluff and fur when he was being so rude to you.ย 

[ Her smile warms into something a little more genuine. ]ย 

And I know what it's like to go without having something from home for so long.ย
