[he's not really wrong,]

Ha ha ha.

I suppose every now and again, this old man must work to earn his pay.

So you're actually gonna help?

[ it's a clear joke, considering what he just said about we ]

For pay.

[ wow... stole his line... ]

What, you take cash now?

Oh...

[he hadn't thought that far]

Hmm, no, I have little need for currency. Tea and company is good.

So should I consider this advance payment?

No.

This is payment for helping you so you need not speak or write poetry.

Damn, I'm going to have to drink more tea with you? What a nightmare.

[ he says, blandly, like this isn't an at the very least weekly thing ]

Ha ha ha.

Isn't it?

[DON'T JUST AGREE]

[ yeah don't agree it means he kind of coughs to hide a brief laugh into his tea ]
