Aurel could tell immediately that Geralt was seemingly not in the best of moods. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"Thank you, and I'll be sure to."[/color] He responded. 

Both he and Lucien watched the man walk away. At this point.. the troupe was quite used to Geralt's mood swings, so it didn't really surprise them when things like this happened. This time it was weird, however, at least for Lucien.. considering his mood had actually been quite bright until just a little while ago. Still, he didn't have too much time to ponder it as Illyana made her arrival. 

Aurel returned her smile, glad to see her in such a good mood. [color=#a7d3d4]"Good morning Illy."[/color] He said, looking down at the box he had been given. He thanked her for the gift, before he carefully began to open it. His nose caught the scent of what it was before he finished opening it, but his eyes brightened nonetheless. It appeared to be a box of different assorted Asian teas. They smelled quite delicious. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"These smell amazing! Thank you, Illy!"[/color] He gave her a bright smile. [color=#a7d3d4]"I'll go ahead and make some now, so everyone else can try it too. They will go great with the beignets."[/color] 

Lucien's smile widened at the exchange, while worried about Geralt's now soured mood, he didn't want it to get in the way of Aurel's day. He was glad to be able to see him so happy. 

[color=burlywood]"I preemptively boiled some water already, so it's all ready to go."[/color] He told him, having already known what Illy had gotten him. 

Aurel let out a small chuckle at Lucien's preparation, so he went ahead and picked green tea to make for everyone.
