The casual offer left him momentarily speechless, but the modilu flies dancing around his head lit up in bright emeralds and shining golden hues, spiraling dizzily around each other as light flooded the courier's pale eyes and a broad grin stretched as wide as his scowls usually did. "You could? I mean, you would? I mean--" He checked himself against the outpouring of excitement, but the grin remained, bright as noonday sun gleaming off the Tundra. If he'd had an Attuned shift to call on, his tail would have been wagging as hard as one of his hounds' banners. "Yes, please!"
