It's a moment before he responds. Starts, really – ah, right, of course –

"I’m confident of that," He sounds a touch looser than confidence implies. He sounds like he’s about to take a nap. "If you weren’t a fine challenge, they’d none of them need worry."

A yawn. Cracking his fingers to find her gaze:

"You're going to win."

Maker, it's been an Age since he smoked.

Clarisse watches him, amused and wondering if she maybe smokes too much. She doesn't react like this anymore, that's for sure. Oh, well, that's something to consider once they're back home.

For now, she nods and pops a piece of sausage into her mouth. "I like your confidence," she says with her mouth full.

She does, she's not being snarky. Because either he just has a lot of faith in her, in which case she's flattered, or he's going to pull off something sneaky and underhanded tomorrow and secure their victory. Either way she emerges from this situation looking good.

It was definitely a bereskarn, and its stuffed body will make a delightful addition to the Gallows.

Clarisse, for her part, is able to play it cool at the celebration afterward. She's obviously pleased with herself, and proud of their work, but she's not going out of her way to brag. (She saves all that for the trip back.)
