[ The basket disappears from where it was in front of Athena and automatically appears closer to Ardeo, disappearing and reappearing in a sudden flame. He sniffs the contents and his tail wags once.

Then he looks up at her and nudges the basket back himself. ]

Don't give this to me.

You and your friends are hungry, right? You should've just fed them, dummy!

I'm not gonna give you fireballs because it's not gonna help you make the house you want. And you found all the good food on your own so it's not like you need to hunt. [ He laughs a little again, amused. ] Don't try to hunt. I don't think you'd be good at it.

So I don't get why you want fireballs so I'm not gonna give 'em to you. [ But he does take the one food carved like Athena's head into his mouth(?) and wanders away with it. ] I'm keeping this one though..... I like it.

[ And with that, he disappears in another flash of flame.

Athena doesn't get fireballs because Ardeo's a brat -- but she'll find her tiny wounds all healed when she looks at them again. Plus, she'll be renewed with energy. See? Try harder! ]
