Tucked slightly back into the booth he sat in, Lucan allowed his eyes to drift back over to Kyra as the merchant motioned in her direction, one of those who had just entered the bar. He saw her little trick shooting an arrow off the gnome's head, and was reasonably impressed. He himself had done the trick a few times, of course, it was always rigged when he had done so - part of one of many cons in his usual act. But he could tell she had not rigged it in her favour, rather, she was just a remarkable shot, it was no surprise to Lucan that the merchant looking for protection had settled his gaze on her. 

Turning his head back toward the merchant, he crossed his arms over his chest, listening with only mild interest to what the man had to say. It was as he had expected, the man was looking for protection while he moved his wares, why he was moving them through orc territory was odd, but he assumed it was to save time, rather than anything else. Really, the fact the work would go into orc territory was the only part of what Cremwise had to say that interested Lucan to any degree. His tail was tenacious, but even if he had the gall to follow Lucan into orc lands, he would be slowed down enough that Lucan might have had a chance to lose his tail, maybe head somewhere like Neverwinter where he might be able to hide for at least a few years before he was found again.

There was also the fact that Lucan was indeed running out of coin, that had not entirely been a lie. He had enough for a room and some more supplies, but fairly soon he was going to run out, and robbing another merchant on the road or whoever else he might've come across - while giving him some cash, would just give Yorke another lead from which to follow him. A little more coin, especially earned in a more honest sense, couldn't have hurt. He gave Persephone a gentle nod as she agreed to join the merchant on his trip, still considering it himself quietly.

After she finished speaking, he finally spoke up himself. [color=7F7765]"How much are you offering [i]exactly[/i]?[/color] He questioned the merchant, for Lucan it had now boiled down to this, if he liked the number which was given to him, it was more than likely he would've offered his services along with Persephone, if not, then he would bid the two farewell, purchase a room and be off the next day, provided the rest of the night went as planned.
