Your work has always seemed very tedious to me. [a bland, if honest remark. It isn't biting, it's not even calling Ali tedious, just the kind of work he does so. Given his comments the night prior on Ali's valor- is that what started all this? A simple, truthful compliment?- it is actually said with respect. Ali's work is not something Concord could do, even if he wanted to. He's not of that sort of mind.
He takes the jacket, also looks at the front. No stains. Impressive, given the paleness of the cloth. He hums in the back of his throat.]
I should thank you, for cleaning it. So. Thank you. [He folds it over the bend of an arm before another hum escapes him. Concord reaches to his slacks and pulls something from his pocket.]
Right. I found you this. [he offers his hand, awaiting Ali to reach a palm out to take it. Concord drops a single silver coin into Ali's hand. It has been shined to a pleasant gleam and is stamped with a horse insignia. Not of their country, so likely worthless beyond the silver it was made from, but Concord continues]
... you know. To make fun of you. [Very difficult to tell if he's being funny, tender, or snide.]
