Aurel could feel Bengal tense as Geralt reached toward him, and that made him lean slightly away, worried about what could happen. It was Illy's approach that had disrupted their conversation, much to his relief. [color=#a7d3d4]"Good morning, Illy."[/color] It was obvious from the way she spoke that she was trying to disrupt whatever conversation had been happening. He'd have to make sure to tell her later that it was fine, but probably let her know that Geralt was trying to find out who Faolan was.. that wasn't really something either of them would want him to know. He wasn't given much time to say anything else, as Illyana then went off on her way. Thankfully, Lucien was approaching, meaning their previous conversation would now be over. [color=burlywood]"Good morning Aurel, Geralt."[/color] He greeted the two of them, eyes following Illyana briefly. She had left quite fast. Looking back at the two men, he took note of Geralt's exhaustion. It was definitely stronger than his own, for a moment it worried him, but he didn't ask about it, considering he knew that the man wanted to go out last night. Stil.. he had noticed that the man never particularly looked well rested.. he'd definitely bring it up if he began to see it happen more often. [color=#a7d3d4]"Good morning."[/color] Aurel greeted with a small smile. Lucien did not sit down immediately, but reached into the bag he held and pulled out two pouches of coin, a light green one and a black one. [color=burlywood]"Here you are, your pay for this circuit."[/color] He told them both, handing them their respective pouches. [color=burlywood]"I foresee that our next town visit will go much better than this one, considering this was our second visit to this town."[/color] He knew that Geralt was probably used to seeing much larger profit, but this time around he hoped he'd made due with what he had received. They had to work their way up, and he really did have higher hopes for their next visit. Lucien was at least satisfied that what they had made had been enough to get them out of the danger zone.
