Lucien shook his head ever so slightly. [color=burlywood]"There is no need for such a thing, you are after all, a part of this now."[/color] He told him. Everyone here did their part, Geralt included. He was helping them get out of their financial rut, and this in a sense was also helping him continue to be able to care for everyone that was here. 

He was silent as Geralt openly explained. He hadn't expected such blatant honesty. Boredom wouldn't have been the reason he might have thought of first.. but after the Magician explained.. Lucien began to understand. He hadn't meant to make Geralt feel like he was restricted in such a way... He could tell that this was hard for Geralt to admit, but he wasn't completely ready to close the door on this conversation just yet. There was something he wanted to add. 

[color=burlywood]"All has been forgiven, Geralt. I just wanted to know your reason. I know you don't want to linger on the topic much longer, but I want to apologize to you for having made you feel this way. I expressed how much I wanted you to have artistic freedom but.. clearly didn't notice how much this was bothering you. That was on me. I should have paid more attention. Please, if you ever feel like you want to do something new with your show, anything at all, come talk to me. The last thing that I would want would be to take the joy of performing away from you."[/color] He told him genuinely, but had lifted his glass. 

He had been a little surprised to hear him cheer in Irish, though it was appropriate to the drink. 

[color=burlywood]"Not just mine, Geralt. You are one of us now too."[/color] He said with a small smile as he gently tapped his glass against the German's. 

[color=burlywood]"Sláinte."[/color] He said in response, before pausing for a moment. Deciding to turn the conversation to a lighter subject, he spoke up again. [color=burlywood]"I must say, your Irish accent is impeccable, despite it being such an uncommon language."[/color]
