You aren't the only one. He's a bit hard to read in that sense...
[ it sure sounds like he's speaking from experience, but doesn't linger on it for too long. he no doubt cares about ignis, but he did approach pyrrha with a particular question in mind. ]
But more than that, I simply have to ask... Where did you manage to find it? I've been up and down the Ferril Mountains several times, but haven't managed to come across any specimen like it!
[ Pyrrha is hardly one to disparage the habits or idiosyncracies of others, as odd as they might seem, so she endures this questioning with her polite smile undiminished. ]
Actually, I bartered for it in Theasthai, just as I was leaving. I tended to a cosmetician's sheep for the day.
[ aw, man. he looks disappointed for a moment, but he doesn't allow it to last long. theasthai, huh... he hasn't spent much time there unless it was necessary. ]
I see... Well, a lead is a lead. I'll have to make a trip there myself sometime in the near future.
[ there's no use in not trying, anyway. though he prefers to mine his own specimens, bartering isn't out of the question if there's no other choice. ]

[ A slight shrug. ]
Sorry, I'm not quite sure where they found it.

In any case, I appreciate it. Thank you, Pyrrha.

[ Pleasantly, she tips her head toward his coffee. ]
Can I get you a refill?

If it isn't too much trouble.
