Ivory's expression hadn't changed at the reaction the snakes had to Geralt. Clearly, there [i]was[/i] something wrong with him. The snakes hadn't been extremely fond of her either when she had first met them, but they had never tried to actually attack her. It made her curious, but also wary. She knew there was a reason she didn't like him. When Akane had joined them it had been a similar circumstance, they didn't like her very much, but that was more of a.. predatory thing, considering the woman was a fox. What exactly were their animal instincts reacting to?

Aurel's expression was still apologetic after Geralt's response. [color=#a7d3d4]"I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.."[/color] He glanced down at Liquorice as he spoke, causing the snake to slither back around Aurel's shoulder, though his gaze remained on Geralt. It was strange for his snakes to be like this, and he was now concerned that the others might react similarly to him. He'd have to be sure to speak with them ahead of time, he didn't really want his snakes attacking other people to become the norm. Jade had withdrew slightly back into Aurel's sleeve, but peeked out just enough to still be able to look at Geralt.

At his question, the man grew nervous, and his eyes quickly darted to Lucien to ask for his assistance. His life back in Germany was something Aurel tried to put behind him, if not forget completely. Unfortunately that wasn't easy for him, even more so when he had physical reminders of them. When he had first met Lucien, the man had tried to decipher where he was from, as even he didn't know exactly from where. What they had was merely a close guess, and Aurel hadn't bothered to retain that information. 

[color=burlywood]"He's from Freiburg."[/color] Lucien spoke up, answering the question for him, having noted Aurel's silent plea for help. To this day he still wasn't sure if that was really the case, but it was the ringleader's best guess as to the location based on the descriptions Aurel had given him. It didn't seem like the boy had cared to know at the time, so they hadn't pursued the topic any further. 

Aurel simply nodded in agreement with Lucien, fiddling with the edge of his sleeve. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"I don't mind speaking it with you. Lucien is the only one I use it with so.."[/color] He trailed off. Despite his dislike for his time in Germany, it seemed Geralt was happy about being able to have this chance. He supposed it might be a little lonely to be unable to speak your native language to other people.
