After a bit of a silent pause, during which Kauff did wonder if what he was about to say was out of line, he asked, "Have I earned the cookies and tea?"

Kauff chuckled, choosing a cookie and taking a bite. He was halfway through chewing when he truly absorbed what Eziya had said and sat back a little, pushing down his first response. He couldn't turn the praise back on her, because of course she was an asset to her family as a healer, but it didn't feel quite right to accept it without a fuss. He rarely thought about how terribly things would have gone had he not been the person he was when they found out Xariy was pregnant, but that was because any alternative destiny was too upsetting to dwell on.

He settled on, "Hm. Thanks. I'm glad to have them too." He took another cookie. "You should grab one of these. They're really good."
