Trying to form a halfway polite response to her first haughty comments, Nova would have completely missed her offer had she not so suddenly changed her tone. Use them as pack mules? I'm sure that they would love me for that. He thought that it was actually a good idea, though that was coming from the wolf who thought painting themselves was a good idea. At least it would be a good way to get them into the cliffs before they ended up suffocating in that pit. As soon as they got in, they could ditch the packs and leave this blue-blood to carry her own precious gems.
Formulating his response carefully, Nova swallowed the frustration that was building up so that he could respond levelly and naturally. "M'names Nova, miss. Sounds like a good plan to keep them quiet, anything to help a lady" Nova responded lightly, letting an adoring tone ooze out onto his words. He even made a show of staring wide eyed at the gem stones for a moment to soak in their natural beauty. She seemed to want to control the conversation, and Nova was fine letting her do that as long as she got them moving in the right direction. If his recent misadventure of meeting Dey showed anything, it was that he was no master of good conversation. Maybe if he just stuck to giving compliments and agreeing, wolves would like him more. Hard to do sometimes, when the other wolf was being an airhead.
Realizing that being too agreeing might actually be suspicious, Nova took a chance and backtracked a little with "Do you want me to send some warriors to guard you while you load them up? I'm almost off duty and should be heading back to report the intruders."
