Iri waves a corner of her right wing at Reeve. Her hands are busy juggling her tessen. "Hello!" She glances between her weapons at the book Reeve's been flipping through. "Interesting enough to read in the middle of a work out?"

The old man cringed, and started to fall backwards.
"Ouch, haven't heard that one before. You were trying to be nosy. I'm pretty sure there's a difference."
As the cat walks off, the man regains his composure, and stares at the spot the cat was in for a moment, before hobbling into his room to eat and do other things, probably.

Reeve does the best he can at an inverted shrug.
"Just an old tome I found under the bed in my room."

"Be careful with that thing," Iri says with raised eyebrow. "I've found some bad things pressed between the pages of old books. Illegal things, if you want to get specific about just how bad I mean."
Iri sighs and lets herself sink into the cushions of the couch. She watches Reeve's exercise with interest. A hint of mischief glints in her eyes. Should I...?

Reeve quirks an eyebrow.
"So that's where I put my pot?"

Iri's violet eyes go wide and blink. "Wow, you're good. Marijuana is exactly what I found." Both wings shrug afterward. "Psyche wanted to sell it in Durem, but I flushed the stuff down a toilet before she could get herself into even more trouble than usual."

Reeve shakes his head, continuing to do push ups.
"It doesn't seem like you could press and dry much in a book. You'd likely get ripped off."
It sounds, eerily, as if he's speaking from experience.

Iri opens her mouth to give a response, but shuts it again. Wait a minute. Is it just me or does he sound like he knows what he's talking about?
She clears her throat and tries again. "Really? So how would you about that? I mean, I know you work with herbs, but surely those kinds of herbs would be a different story."

Reeve grins.
"Kinda hard to make a living off of ordinary plants, isn't it?"

Iri's jaw drops. Both wings extend a little in shock. "Now what!? Surely you're just messing with me?"
It would make sense. How else could someone make money off of herbalism on the streets? Or am I just being gullible again?

Reeve smiles, leaning on one arm as he closes the book and lithely cartwheels over onto his feet.
"Just kidding."

A slight blush creeps across Iri's pale cheeks. Her right wing twitches in response to her embarassment. Iri looks away and tries to hide her blush with one hand. "Oh. Erm, just had to ask. Wanted to know if I was being gullible or not is all."
I need to go back to being emotional on the inside only. Certianly would save some of my pride and dignity.

The hug makes her feel a little better. Iri reaches up to drape her arms around Reeve's shoulders. It always feels nice to have him near.
"You played me into that blush on purpose, didn't ya?"

"Who, me? Never."
Reeve shakes his head, though his voice is dripping with humorous sarcasm.
