[The sort that he is, Concord cuts straight to heart of Ali's ramblings. He looks, even, a bit soft to do as much.]
That is all... a touch romantic, Ali. [Despite the suspicious edge of his tone- there is always a sharpness, he simply doesn't now how else to talk- he says this with curious sort of wonder. He hears himself say it and it strikes him with some bashfulness, the very idea of it, Ali going out of his way to be that way towards him. Him. Of all people!
And yet, Concord realizes he's done the same. How embarrassing they are being. He reaches to Ali and slowly takes one of his wrists, turns his hand to face upward, and places their palms together briefly. Concord leaves... another shiny, silver coin behind, before taking back his hands. He got it while at the courtly ball, asked a noble to trade a gold coin of his for it. A silly, unequal trade... but the coin had probably never left the noble's possession, it was so freshly printed it looked fresh from a forge. It also... has the imprint of a horse, as the one before did, but it is in better condition.]

Which is fine. I do not mind.
