Numis are a digital currency, right? So if someone is gifting you coins, it must be the vintage kind. Was it a gift? Could it be that you have a secret admirer~?
[ someone's gonna yoink that sticker for perpetual future use (see: phainon of aedes elysiae). ]
Secret admirer? No way. [ if only she can hear the way he laughs over that. ]
I'll safely assume it's an occurrence that you've experienced yet! Well, all you'll have to do is get them professionally appraised due to a nagging curiosity and the realization that the coins, themselves, won't be of any use in their most tangible form. The Numis will start flooding in, somehow.
The only downside to this matter is the fact that I have yet to figure out a way to properly express gratitude to this mysterious gift giver...
( if only he knew in another world, he's such a prince charming that people did have crushes on him... alas. )
Could it have been a gift from Patho-Gen? Maybe they're particularly pleased with you, and decided to give you a raise?
( raise, she says, like any of them get paid for this. she doesn't mind that she isn't. )
That, or maybe they're trying to tell you something. Have you found yourself a job? If it's really from Patho-Gen, it could be something like an allowance? Though if it's from someone else, I still think someone just likes you enough to do something nice, Phainon~
That's the likely story, isn't it? A little ServiTon, delivering a box of coins to a tenant for being on their best behavior. If Patho-Gen really has that close of a tie with The Velvet Claw as well, I suppose your hypothesis holds some truth to it. [ phainon can boast that much; he's one of the quieter, cleanlier occupants here. ]
But I promise you, no such person exists here in the city. Unless you are referring to yourself, Elysia. [ this, he can joke about, too. after all, elysia is the first friend he made here. but he won't say that out loud, for now. ]
Phainon...!! Is that your way of baiting me to say you're my favorite person here? Maybe if you praise me lots, I'll consider it ♪
( not the point, but it wouldn't be elysia if she couldn't express her sincere love for her friends whenever requested or prompted. )
Ah, but don't get too used to it, okay? Being Patho-Gen and The Velvet Claw's favorite. Since rewards are on the table now, I'll have to work hard to knock you down the favoritism leaderboard~
[ how dull would he be to deter and disengage, insist on the truth of the matter: they're only left with their conjectures and nothing more.
this is more fun: ]
Then between you and I, the first to earn a reward of their own from a supposedly unknown source will yield whatever they wish from their fallen opponent.
[ what could phainon ask of elysia if he were to somehow best her in this challenge by chance? a few things come to mind, notably about her past. but he won't allude to that. as far as she's concerned, he probably does want to be told he's somebody's favorite person, here. ]
Or would it be more to your interest to raise the stakes? Just a little bit more!
