Lucien didn't think he'd hear Geralt admit to such a thing, but he was at least glad to know he was willing to cooperate when it came to this. He was sure there were some.. that wouldn't think twice before snapping at him if he stepped out of line, like Ivory, but there were others.. that would not, and that was actually something the ringleader wanted to preemptively bring up to him. [color=burlywood]"You're too kind."[/color] His compliment made him chuckle as he tried not to make it obvious that he didn't want to completely answer his question. [color=burlywood]"No, the little girl is Illyana."[/color] He responded, taking another sip of wine. Considering how perceptive Geralt was, the moment he took note of Illyana dyeing her hair brown, he'd probably link her to being the girl in the picture. [color=burlywood]"As for the man, that's a story for another time."[/color] He honestly didn't want to give him too much detail in regards to that, because he knew it would only lead to more questions. He was sure this would make him more curious, but he didn't really want to get into it right now. He had already told the man quite a bit, and while Lucien didn't have anything to hide, his personal relationships wasn't something he was so willing to share. [color=burlywood]"Ah.. In regards to your previous comment about making people.. uncomfortable.. I feel this is important for me to address. Cora... she's.. not completely accustomed to interacting with people. She has been through a lot, and I'm afraid that sometimes she might not realize that certain things should be making her uncomfortable. I hope this does not make you think I believe you have bad intentions, I don't mean to offend you in any way, I simply ask that you respect her personal space."[/color] His tone was not aggressive, but there was a sternness to it. This was his way of warning Geralt that he shouldn't get any ideas. Cora was intelligent, but was sometimes easy to flatter and warm up to people who were kind to her. Geralt was definitely the type to flatter, and he knew that Cora was already at least a little fond of him, but still he couldn't help but worry.
