[Wow, so, after everything else that this guy has said to the other people who bothered to talk to him, Ginger should probably not be doing anything to make him feel like his ego is going to be tolerated, but...she's also Ginger. So, here she is. Being Ginger.]

Hi there, honey! I can't do anything about the food, but like, let me know if you get cold and I'll get some clothes your way as soon as I can, okay?

[fiammadellira]

[How.. annoyingly sweet and friendly. He could use a few more layers of clothing, with how sensitive frostbite has left him to the cold, but at that same time he'd rather suffer than accept anyone's pity.

... It's possible to work around that if he's the one demanding it. So,]

Are you skilled?

[Of course he's expecting something high quality and custom-made on request. Simply collecting whatever clothing could be salvaged during her travels just won't do.]

[lacecase]

Darn tootin'!

[She's not going to be humble about the one thing she's actually good at.]

I'm a professional and everything--back home, anyway. I don't, like, have very much to work with here, given what supplies we have, but I still try and put my heart into everything I make.

[fiammadellira]

[Heart? Ugh. ... Not that he'd have any more respect for someone in it for the money, either. Only the quality matters.

And given that the quality's being limited...]

I'll pass.

[lacecase]

Aw, you sure?

[He's being super rude but she's just pouting.]

Your fingers will get, like, super cold, you know? So let me know if you change your mind!

[fiammadellira]

[... Wait. Only accessories?

It's true that they'll get cold. That they already are, like everything else, thanks to the loss of his flames. It's also true that this woman's annoying him.

His voice grows more commanding, dangerous, to stress how serious his decision is.]

I'm sure.

[lacecase]

[Jokes on you, Xanxus. When guys talk to her like that she just thinks they're charming, because she has terrible taste in men.]

Okie dokie, you got it buster. I'm only ever a message away for anything you need--even if you just wanna say hello, so you don't ever feel like you have to be a stranger if you're feeling lonely!

[fiammadellira]

I won't.

[Feel lonely enough to resort to contacting someone so bubbly.

... There's probably other ways to take it, though.]

[lacecase]

That's what they all say...

[Not stated as a challenge so much as a resigned observation. But, hey, maybe the cold really won't bother him too much.]

Good luck out there! And nice to meet you!

[fiammadellira]

[... "Nice." Sure.

He's tolerated her for long enough, by now, so he'll just hang up without a single word in response. It's.. somehow better than the treatment others seem to have been getting, though?]

[lacecase]

[Well...she's going to count this one as a win as she shrugs and puts away her tablet. Maybe next time they'll end up being best buds! Probably not, but, she's nothing if not incessant.]
