Aurel hadn't wasted any time in moving to begin to dress himself as Geralt had finally given him his privacy, not really taking as much time as he usually would have, considering the Magician was waiting right outside. At the question that broke the silence, however, Aurel froze, having been in the process of putting on his shirt. It had lasted only a moment, as he then quickly moved to adjust it. Of course he had seen them.. His back was turned to him when he had opened the curtain. He had done a really good job in not letting Geralt see them.. even the other times they had stopped by lakes to refill Cora's tank, he had always been careful. He was unsure of how much he wanted to share. Only Lucien and Illy knew the whole story after all... [color=#a7d3d4]"Yes..."[/color] He responded simply, but it was clearly something he held no desire to talk about. Looking up, Aurel tapped on the glass of the water, to waken Liquorice. The snake then crawled off the side and wrapped around his arm. [color=#a7d3d4]"Be good.."[/color] He muttered to the snake, considering he had been one of the two he had on his person the day he had first met Geralt and him and Jade had hissed at him. He hadn't really interacted with him since then, since he had been keeping his snakes away. [b]"...I sstill don't like him.."[/b] The snake responded, but Aurel didn't say much else, considering Geralt would most likely overhear. He drew the curtain open again. [color=#a7d3d4]"All yours.."[/color] He said. [color=#a7d3d4]"You haven't used it before right? Do you want me to show you?"[/color] He asked him, hoping to change the subject.
