She knows Ylva lives out here anyway, so meeting up halfway is almost expected. As such, when Ylva unfolds into her more human shape, Magne only slows down enough to let her fall into step at her side.
"Of course. These things are best done with friends, aren't they?"
"Yeah," she agrees, even though she really has no idea how normal it is to do this sort of thing socially. "But I've seen a bunch of César lately, and not really much of you. So it's good to catch up."
They're approaching the novelty of all this from entirely different angles. Magne isn't accustomed to having the freedom to just go out and do this kind of thing in general, and Ylva hasn't had anyone to do such things with. It's a new development from both ends!
"Yes, unfortunately while he's learning how to use this druid stuff that he can do, I'm still working as much as I can so that I'll be able to move on with enough wiggle room to do what I want. Trying to get new things built is expensive, who'd have thought?" she jokes.
"Yeah, druid magic is not... really useful for that sort of thing," Ylva says. "Not directly, anyway. I don't think. Is it just money you need, or what? Anything I can do to help?"
"It's going to be a lot of money, new furniture, staff... He's offered to help me with decoration, flowers outside, some basic materials, but really it's just being able to put it all together to begin with that's going to be the main stickler. I've got all of the basics written down, but I know there will be a dozen extra things needed to make it all possible," Magne replies with a small sigh. "But I'm just complaining, now. I know when it's all said and done, it'll be nice. I'm looking forward to it, is all."

She sounds quietly hopeful.
