[Being able to move on from the topic of Witch and rendering her presence as nothing but vague background noise, which was already much more than what she deserved, to more casual and conversational really did help with improving Richard's mood. The sourness from his bath was mellowing down, and actual smile was forming to his features.]
Who knows. Maybe I'll have you work as one if I ever decide to follow the legend of Saint George and slay the dragon. [He says in jest. For time being Richard sees no appeal in actually risking his, or Silco's for that matter, life by going after such beasts.] Or maybe it would be your turn to teach me something in return? [Not that he already wasn't greatly in Silco's debt on that matter. Meeting the other man had turned out to be very lucky for Richard in so many ways. After all, him being able to settle down and get accustomed to this world this well has been greatly thanks to Silco.]
As if. [The mention of a beach gets an eye roll from Richard, accompanied by an amused scoff. So far the desert has been easily the worst terrain that Richard had endured in his life. It really made him miss the cold, rainy weather of England and it's misty yet lush scenery. It had been uncomfortable beyond reason and not something that he was looking to repeat anytime in future. If ever.]
Mm. [He hums thoughtfully, moving his upper body along with Silco's movements, offering him a new areas to dry. His lover was right. What's done is done, no use fretting on what-ifs or so.] And everything is fine on your end?
