So I didn't need to save you from a mildly angry flock of penguins then? [She has an incredibly shit-eating grin on her face.]
Oh, we could just raid the food stores, you're right. [That did not occur to her— if kidnapping the penguins was off the table, mildly inconveniencing the aquarium was a better alternative.] Well I was going to pay with these. [She blinks at him, confused. It's not like she has the weird money that they use here! And the staff did accept her offering the last time....or the poor staff member was too confused and also probably charmed to really do anything else.
Besides all of that jewellery was part of her last days as a former consort and she really did not want to keep any reminders of that time, nor did she really care about the finery. She'd given the rest away before finding herself here— only the earrings and Maomao's silver hairstick were left and she wasn't giving that hairstick up until she was back in her world. She had a promise to keep after all.]
