Julian leaned down to take something from his boot. Might not be a weapon, per se, but it'd get him out of a fight easily. That and his...natural talents.
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
"Failed?! If by failed ye mean a fanbase the size of a barge and with people varying from Outcasts to LPI officers, from Junkers to tradersmen. Aye, sure I failed. "
He grins.
"But my definition, failure would be more something like... the fact I am still here alive and free.
LSF, ye say ye are. That's even better. They are the ones who are hunting me all the time afterall. Without success I might add."
He strokes his weapon.
"I am a peaceful man. I won't shoot ye as long as ye do not threaten me or anyone else in here."
He stops stroking.
"I'm watching ye..."
He sits down and gestures the bartender to bring him another whisky.
The duo simultaneously tilted heads a little to the left. Obviously, conversation took some very wild turn before making it to place where it is now.
"So what do you need to do..?" "We have someone with idea, someone with knowledge and when its comes to that, also someone who can supply resources." "Though we still dont know what were we really looking at and what is our goal."
Both Lyra and Aigis looked in each other's eyes, as a mark of acknowledging. Walking secretly behind Patricia and blowing into her ears from both sides at the same time.
- Wha-wha-wha... WHOA! - Patricia definately was not expecting it and almost fell off from her chair, covering herself with PDA and reflexly trying to dodge. Judging from her "stance", she was thinking of hiding behind the "walking tank" - but reconsidered at the last moment. She froze with surprised and confused expression on her face.
- He-e-e-y, aren't you two... umm... - from quiet beep sound one may tell she just took a photo of the duo to check it out. Shortly after Patri face expression became even more amused.
- What? What does she think she meant by "whippet cookie fairy" and "milk fairy"? Jeez... if you are bored by my questions, why don't you say so? - girl finally lowered her small improvized "PDA shield" and was now staring at Lyra and Aigis. - Well... looks like i'm not so sure about it, thereby... who do you think you are and what do you think you are doing, blowing into my ears like that? I could have hurt something, you know.
- Ugh-ugh... give me a moment, please? Again? - Patri says, scrolling through several photos and text messages on the PDA screen. As one may notice, those look like dossiers. Apparently, reading alike things was the cause of her almost falling asleep on the sofa not so long ago.
It takes Patricia several seconds to type something - and return to gazing at the "twins". - Well, she says you are Aigis. Both of you, actually. So you are. Does not give me any more ideas, though. Fine, then... umm...
Girl examines the duo for a while, like if they are some kind of "offerings" or "presents". Looking like she finally decied, Patri hugs Aigis hand - and turns to Lyra. - Right. You look smarter. So... back to my question yet?
