"Two hundred pounds of salt to spare?" Kaze smiled, eyebrows raised in amusement, "I'm sure your people hate you after producing such an impressive quantity."
Evalyn frowned at his cheeky reply, dropping the sacks of sea salt on the ground. "Fine, go without salt."
"Come now, darling." He countered charmingly, "Surely you can see past the obvious and see my implicit compliment."
"Come now, [darling]." She smiled sarcastically, "Surly, you can compliment me without pointing out negatives."
"While it may take a century, there will be a time when you accept that I find no negatives in my words." Kaze replied magnetically, "I find beauty in the things you do."
"W-Wait up." Evalyn reddened in embarrassed bafflement, "You genuinely like my approach?"
The blonde had spent the whole night thinking about Kaze but didn't think that he would be in a charming mood when he talked to her. On the contrary, she expected a lecture on her brute force tactics, so she was genuinely flustered.
