Wyatt couldn’t help but chuckle at her words, the sound quiet but genuine as it broke through the heavy air between them. He tipped his hat back, shaking his head with a wry grin.
Her resilience amazed him, even now. Despite everything she’d been through, she still found a way to smile, to offer kindness where most would’ve been crushed under the weight of their losses. It only made the ache in his chest worse, knowing he’d spent so much time running from the better parts of himself while she’d been here rebuilding from ashes.
He stepped closer, his expression softening as he looked down at her.

Favorite work in progress in Thedas? Well, now, that’s a title I’ll have to work hard to live up to.His tone was light, but her words had landed somewhere deeper than he let on.

Elfroot, huh?Wyatt rubbed the back of his neck, feigning thoughtfulness before giving her a mock-serious nod.
Well, Rosie, I reckon I can’t say no to chocolate cake. Guess that makes me your newest gatherer. Consider it done.
He stepped closer, his expression softening as he looked down at her.
But for the record, you don’t need to pay me back for somethin’ like that. It’s the least I can do. Besides... you’re not the only one tryin’ to live for the ones who’re gone. Maybe doing a little good out there will feel like I’m payin’ my dues.
