"Oh my, such an adorable creature..." Strawbella seemed to be a little distracted by the pangog. It just seemed so friendly... She couldn't help put give it a playful pat on the head, before leaning over to scratch it behind the ears. "Good boy~"

She didn't take much heed of what Toridus said, however. Chances were she already had a bounty on her head, after all, and it wasn't like she was going to engage in criminal activities or anything. She would be nothing more than a simple chef, after all.

As for Rita, well...

"It is admirable that you think yourself to be more mature than your age would suggest, Lady McMannus," she said with a smile, unable to believe that Rita was actually the age she claimed to be. "But a young lady should not be so... Forthcoming, um... It is... Rather embarrassing, really..."

Still petting the pangog with one hand, Strawbella finished off her tea. "Well, I suppose we should make haste then. It would be most dreadful if we dawdled and there were no ships left when we arrived at the docks, after all."
