"Not at present," he answers Vervain dryly, inspecting Alvi's proximity to anything that looks important. The magpie looks back down at him reproachfully, evidently not yet ready to forgive his caregiver either for the cold or for the blustery walk to the chapel while bundled up in a bunch of blankets. Tuo can't say he blames him.
"Thank you," he adds as Vervain goes in search of a blanket... which means he's left alone in the vestry with Dain, even if only for a few moments. Hardly enough time to unpack what happened in the wagon, but just enough time to be keenly aware of his close proximity. He resolves not to speak of it, and instead lifts his chin to smile, sly as usual.
"Well, this shall be cozy," he remarks. "Best not tell your vicar though."
