Sniff sniff, sniff sniff!
Again the dog's ears perk up, his tail wagging a bit as the familiar scent of the flower back at the cottage is stronger, confirming that this is where he had caught it before. So there a happy pant from Valo as he looks up at Ilsa, hoping for some pets.
Seeing this... Eustace can't help but soften a little and loosen up a little. He still can't quite bring himself to look at Ilsa directly, so his gaze shifts towards the garden behind her.

...Looks like it's coming along well... Your garden.
[Eustace initiating a conversation. They really are in dire straits if he's the one to start.]
