[The hot chocolate may very well have had its desired effect. Once it's cooled enough, she takes a tentative sip, still mindful of the steam rising from the mug, and beams. The chocolate is rich and the caramel smooth, with the saltiness bringing it all together. It's sweet, but natural, and it's just the thing to warm her after her lengthy excursion. She doesn't need healing items, chocolate truly is the best medicine!

So, yeah, don't mind her taking a little of the credit here.

She savours the richness for a moment longer before regarding the bag. The dream board really is like the job board back home, and she made her own requests and rewarded Ludger and the others for helping her out.

At that thought, a spark of sadness begins but is quickly extinguished. Bittersweet memories regarding that time come and go every once in a while, but she tries her best to not let it consume her...

Perhaps it just hits differently with them both being in such a foreign place? But she can't really fault the habit, so she doesn't mind much, yet does make one thing clear while nursing her mug.]

Yeah, they're definitely not nearly as exciting, but I get it. It's no different than the job board back home. More importantly, your research into hot chocolate has totally paid off! Guess I'm gonna have to drag you out of the house more often. I'll hardly ever turn down food as a reward.

["Hardly ever."

... Of course, she'll take the healing supplies in lieu of him fussing over her injuries.]
