[Following this, Will isn't so much cross as confused. Baffled, really. Not that he isn't also amused.

But the coffee and the initials are enough of a clue as to who was behind it, so perhaps he can get some answers.]

So, do you anticipate that I'll need to wrangle a large amount of squirrels in the near future?

[reigniter]

[Confusion and eventual amusement is what Ignis was aiming at.]

With the way things have been developing I wouldn't be surprised. Those forest spirits do store away everything shiny and useful

One can never be too prepared

[And just in case Will doesn't catch on the sarcasm and joke in the reply he adds at the end]

🙂

[Alright, good. So it was a joke. Nice to know Ignis hasn't lost his mind.]

I see.
You're right about that, the spirits do seem to act a bit like small rodents.
Perhaps this will come in handy after all.

[Is that a very vague "thank you"? Maybe.]

[reigniter]

[It will take more than assumed squirrels to make him lose his mind. Ignis is secretly happy about that.]

If the contents do not help
At least you can smash a spider with it
Useful in every way

[He knows how to read between the lines. Ignis is glad he managed to amuse him, even if it will be short-lived.]

[donttalktome]

Ah yes, those pesky winter spiders.

[Listen, he's only lived on a planet for a relatively short time, he doesn't know about how often those little things hide out in basements during the colder months.]

In any case, it'll give me something to laugh at when I have nothing else to do.

[reigniter]

[They are around enough to drive Ignis crazy. Suspiciously enough, he didn't see any here.]

Then I am glad. That was the main purpose of the book.
