Sair did little from his place in the doorway, sometimes shifting to prevent a cramp, but mostly just watching. Once, he got up, did a little circle and laid back down, but that was the most he moved and only when Azure wasn't concentrating. He did not want to distract her, nor did he want to miss anything important in the process.

He decided against asking why she corrected herself often, but he did wonder. He wondered a lot about a lot of things, though, and he could stand to let this one slide. Just this once. "I'll keep that in mind while I'm travelling, then! I'm sure I'll find my fair share of shiny things I otherwise wouldn't use." He smiled at her, gently, as she continued. "It's a worthy cause, to want to give rather than take, whatever the reason. I am glad to know that you enjoy the process, and that you do gain something from it be it intrinsic or not." How many times can one say wonder to truly describe the thoughts going through Sair's head? Yes, he wondered about the destruction Azure had seen, but again, reluctantly, he set the question aside.

"You are awkward with words and I am awkward with my hooves. We all have something." He stuck his tongue out, just slightly, to try and make her laugh again.

"Speaking." Thinking. Doing.
OOC:

Ah, there it was.
Sair smiled, a warm smile that bubbled over into laughter as Azure tried to collect herself. Sair had thought he'd be alone, that he'd collect things and put together his findings and ramble on like a mad mare to anyone who would listen... But this was better. If he could meet more gembounds like Fulgur, like Azure, and even some calmer creatures like Juggernaut... He'd be happy.
He shook himself from thought as Azure spoke again, nearly finished with the bag. He took a good look, trying to picture it on his shoulder. "It's perfect, Azure. It will help me a lot, thank you."
The gem was a dull light, but pretty, with just enough glow to help his eyes make out details in the night. He had some decent night vision, sure, but the bauble would help him when details started to blur. Speaking of details, the bag itself was beautiful. Red, white and blue... Perhaps he'd keep that theme for any future decorative projects of his. It felt like... freedom. A reminder that he was never alone, no matter how big his goals might seem. No matter how heavy they might feel.
"Maybe next time I visit, Dip will be around? I think I'd quite like to meet them too."

"Speaking." Thinking. Doing.
OOC:

It was strange, he thought, to see someone so skilled in a craft so insecure about her abilities. She'd proven herself to him, if not to herself, at least. "You've provided me with some fine company Azure, and shown me some fine craftsmanship. I'm sure it is nice to know you have help when you need it, though. It is good, not to be alone." He was beginning to think that soft smile would never leave his face, for how long he'd been wearing it. He must have been getting wrinkles by now.

Her next comment caught his attention once more, and this time... He entertained it. "You could make me... sparkle?" He was pensive, seeming to soften into the idea more than his previous visions of pinks and yellows. "I actually would quite like to see that, I think. Who knows? Keep talking and you might dye my forelocks pink by the time the lights dim!" He chuckled, hoping that would not be the case. A little sparkle, though? Well, how could he say no?

"It's just what I needed!" He watched as she turned it over, shining stone securely in place. "Thank you, again. I think I could put it on, if I was careful, but I would appreciate your help, just this once." He didn't want to break it, at least not in front of its crafter. "If you are too tired to try that dye, I could drop by another day as well, do not push yourself for my sake."

"Speaking." Thinking. Doing.

Sair enjoyed their back-and-forth. Even with the uncertainty on Azure's part, she did seem to be enjoying his company as well, and he found it comforting.
"Well don't let me make you work harder!" Another laugh poured easily from his throat. "I'm sure the sparkly stuff will be more than enough to make me visible to everyone in the caves!" Although his red blanket had probably already done the same job, come to think of it. Perhaps he shouldn't;t wear it so often, now that the caves were getting warmer.

He did as she asked, ducking his head deep and doing his best to help maneuver the bag onto his shoulder. He would figure out what worked best for him later, but for now he could reach the bag with his mouth and that was about all he needed. He offered a sincere thanks, again, and watched as she fetched a jar from her stash.

"You can use those stones for all kinds of things!" He was impressed, tilting his head to better look in the jar. Sure enough, specks of glowing light managed to shine even through the dark tone of the paint. "Oh yes let me just..."
He moved to get up, stretching numb limbs before backing out the door to make room. It would be a little difficult if she could only reach his front half, after all.
"Is this better? Tell me if you need me closer to a perch, it is no trouble."

Oh, and... Hm.

"One more thing!" Without much of another option, save for asking Azure's help for yet another time, Sair disappeared around the nearest semi-stable structure he could find and promptly plopped over on his side. Azure would hear some rustling and he shimmied himself (mostly) out of said blanket, bunching it up alongside the bag at his front shoulders.

"It might help if you could actually... Get to me?" He added upon his return, noticeably more dusty than before. It was only slightly less embarrassing than allowing Azure to see him writhe.

"Speaking." Thinking. Doing.
OOC:

"I only have my teeth!" He defended with his own echoed laugh. Azure was lucky to have the talons that she did.
He let her work, moving as needed and otherwise trying not to laugh at the feeling of the brush on his skin. "Between this blanket and my size, I doubt I'd have had any chance at being stealthy anyway." He chuckled.

He waited until she had finished to look, not wanting to judge it too early. When she did finish he stretched, carefully, and turned his head to either side to get a good look. "You have quite the eye!" He declared, shifting his weight from one side to the other to see the dye glow and sparkle. "Much better than any of the ideas I had! I think I would like to keep it, if the offer still stands." It wasn't hard to see that Azure was becoming worn, and he hoped she would still have the energy for the spell. He would not keep her much longer, he decided, but he would return with some materials for her as thanks in the future. She put great care into her work, and it was the least he could do for such a useful gift.

"Where else do you frequent, by the way? I don't want to just drop a pile of flowers on your doorstep if you are not home."

"Speaking." Thinking. Doing.
