[The emotions that hit him actually make him stop in place - what was a playful sort of feeling, like a mischievous friendliness, suddenly gets replaced by confusion, a hint of intrigue. He looks up at Rufus, gaping a bit...before he shakes his head.]
Of course you wouldn't. It's the same with the constellations. Its not like we're in a place that abides by the rules of our worlds.

So I don't see why you're wasting your time.
[He huffs.]
For all you know, these could just be like. Randomly generated.

What about you? Do you want me to call on you when its a good day for you?

[The irritation barely ruffles Hansa - he just smiles in reply.]
And what will you do when they turn out to be false? I hope you have a plan B.

But here you are, accepting random gifts from a priest. Is that really work, for you?
...It's because I can't tell what you want without you saying it, Rufus.
[Is that a bit of irritation in his tone? Even his smile looks tired.]
I don't want to keep using you like you're some kind of vending machine.

...Hm! Well, I guess that's kind of a smart point.
[Though he doesn't seem to be too interested in the maps, himself, based on the feelings filtering over. His attention is mostly on Rufus.]
Do you need any help?

[He kind of smiles, but it doesn't reach his eyes.]
I just want to get to know you, Rufus. [He says, flatly.] But yeah. Sure. Current arrangement.

[He lifts his head, not looking at Hansa but certainly reacting to the offer. There's hesitation, then doubt, followed by something like want and a smidgen of disappointment before it's topped off by a measure of wariness.]
No. I'm just about finished.

[He just. Stares at him for a good moment. There's some surprise from him, and then just an almost. Tired, exasperated sort of feeling, like "of course its like that".]
For a guy who acts like he's all business and no pleasure, you sure do have a lot of feelings. [He says, deadpan. Anyways, he's reaching for a chair.] Anyways, stop quashing your own thoughts there before they have a chance to live, you idiot. I'll help out.

[Now, a sparkle of amusement in reply.]
I've got a good head for directions. We can go out on town together and see what adds up, and what doesn't. Maps require footwork, too.

[HE WAS GOING TO SIT DOWN TO LOOK AT THEM FIRST, RUFUS]

[he's a jock taking on something nerdy don't listen to him]
