Harrowheart screws his face up in a weak attempt to look indignant at Runa's teasing. It hardly lasts though, and as soon as she's quiet he catches her in the hook of his arm and pulls her in for a maybe-too-tight one armed hug. When Isidor approves of his idea he beams and lets Runa go, wild and free as a Runa ought to be.

Viatorus' timid suggestion nearly sparks Harrowheart to speak, but actually saying aloud 'Pretend you're in mortal danger, I'm sure you'll see Isidor scared' seems like the kind of thing that results in mortal danger coming his way, so he smartly keeps his mouth shut. And besides, he'd hate to break Isidor's mystique.

Her whisper brings him another smile, a proud one, and he nods subtly back to her. "But like I told your brother..." he whispers back, "Evil's fun, but there's always consequences. We'll cook somethin' up to get 'em back sooner or later."

And then to cover his tracks he loudly asks Runa and Viatorus, "What's next, kids? I put my fate in your hands."
