"Thank you... and, um, if I am home by then I can just leave money at the Keep?"

(at least now they won't call him gay amirite) Angry tears began streaming down Ky's face as Talia clung to her for dear life, hoping she didn't get in trouble ...

"...good point," Aeron agreed. "I have no bloody idea what time it is right now."

Ky nodded and scooped her coins back in her purse. "Alright, then... thank you."

Talia stared in horror as she saw what was going on. Ky disobeying a Lord . She'd be absolutely mortified if she knew what she was doing -- she couldn't ...

Aeron smiled and nodded. "If you tell Margie it's for Aenyra, she may give it to you on the house. She's soft."

"...If you're sure..." Ky said hesitantly. It felt odd to commission something that expensive without guaranteeing it.

Talia nodded and, despite her better senses, turned and hurried down the stairs. It sounded like Ky needed her. Not to fight, obviously. Talia had never been a fighter. But ...

Aeron glanced at his saddlebags, biting his lip. "... I don't think I've got any, sorry." Aenyra seemed unbothered, leaning into the pats.

She nudged them again with a happy snort. Aeron chuckled, smiling as he watched.

"Fair enough." Talia nodded and turned back up the stairs. She was panting, tears springing to her eyes as she looked at Borrond in utter hatred. "Why is he here?" ...

"...Oh." She hesitated sheepishly, blushing. "But don't you have to buy the materials before all that?"

(This doesn't fit with Aeron's preconceived notions sorry) Aenyra snuffled it then snorted softly and nudged them.

Ky's better sense still wasn't working and she tried to squirm free of Gaius's grasp to get back at Borrond. He looked like an easy target before her now. Bitch. ...

Ky nodded and pulled out her purse and began counting them out.
