Xandar drew another breath of his cigar, swirling it in his mouth a bit before exhaling it out of his nose and vanishing the vapors. It seemed his small little wife had left the two men to talk business, which was quite fine with him. He had a feeling she wouldn't be afraid to voice her opinions to him. After raising his eyebrow a bit he chuckled and patted the man firmly on the shoulder, looking at him with his gold eyes as he took the cigar from his mouth. [color=crimson]"Gerald, I never said you had to take the boy into your own home, unless you wanted to. I wouldn't suddenly thrust a child into your life that's not yours. All I ask is you keep him in good hands, whether that be yours or somewhere in the city. I just needed him away from... us, and the danger associated, you understand? It was either that or death. This is giving the boy a chance. Once he's out of my hands and we're out of this city, it's not my concern what happens to him. This is giving him a chance at life."[/color] 

The Warlord Prince crushed his cigar and vanished it, running a hand through his long hair, having grown out a bit during their travels. He should probably start pulling up his hair out of his face, but, for now he had bigger concerns on his mind. [color=crimson]"At the very least, we drop him off in the city and I can say I tried my best. He's a somewhat clever boy, although a bit of a troublemaker. But once given instruction he hasn't caused too much trouble to us on the way here. At the very least, we can have a few drinks like back in the old days before I'm off again."[/color] He let go out the man's shoulder,cracking his knuckles before turning to the door and opening it. [color=crimson]"I'm residing in a tavern close by, you can find me there. If there's anything you need of me while I'm here, I suggest you ask now. I wouldn't come asking for a favor if I didn't intend on repaying it. I am an Eyrien man, after all."[/color]
