[waaaaah, she does actually grin now, but it's not mean!! she shifts so she can just hug him? she just hugs him.
there's a lot of things she could say here, but what she settles on is:]
Yeah. Of course, Ace. [because really more than anything she just wants to see him happy? she wants him to suffer being loved.] Guess that really does mean it's my job to make you not make dumb decisions.
[ hugs back with one arm to keep his pride (hiding that he is overwhelmed with his other hand) and sort of huffs ]
A lot of people have tried that. It's a pretty thankless one. [ self-deprecation joke over how not a single person can hold his leash he will bite out of it. will never learn etc. ]
[she will just stay here for a bit and let him be overwhelmed!!]
Eh. I'm not doing it for the pay, or I would've found a different captain ages ago. [she doesn't mind, and besides, it's not like she's any better with leashes.]
You've grown too attached to get rid of me now over some money issue. [ ha ha. ha. but also ] Speaking of that, you think it's going to show up as change in our pockets like here?
That's what you think. [he is correct, she's full of it.
as for the rest, though:] ... I didn't even think about that. I guess? That'll be annoying when we wanna buy stuff that costs a ton, like okay, hold on a second, I just have to pull five thousand gold pieces from my shorts.
