[Of course, his renewed smile said. It was hard not to have noted the busiest place in the city proper. A gateway to both the market and the tavern as well as to the residential areas along the river, the Crystarium's citizens were always present about the Musica Universalis. It was the one spot in the city that never seemed to sleep, even when all else fell still and silent in what were now the night hours.]

[He loved it there. When his work did not keep him holed up in the Tower, or the tension of his worries did not chase him to roam the fields beyond the Crystarium walls for a time, the Exarch would wander about in the markets, looking for nothing in particular, simply immersing himself in the lives of the people he kept watch over. It was soothing, a balm on his aching old soul.]

Is that so? [Truly? Had she been denied something so simple in the past? Surely it wasn't a problem of hers, he imagined, to overindulge, but given how much had been placed on those two shoulders, he could understand and permit a retreat of sorts. Not that she needed permission.] Well, you will have none of that here. After everything you have done for this world, a drink is the very least we can offer you.

[He turned, tilting his head.] Come. Let us retire to a seat at the tavern and carry on our conversation there.

After being poisoned once, everyone's a bit shy about drinking. I think more than enough time has passed, and I don't think anyone would poison me here.

[ Which is quite matter of fact; she closes the gap to stand by him, letting him lead, her hands folded behind her back. ]

Though I still admit to being surprised they pieced together all they had. I feel a little foolish for going along with keeping this all a secret when it seemed no one was fooled.

[That shouldn't surprise him, to know that attempts had been made on her life, and yet he can't hold back a note of dismay at it all.]

Someone attempted to poison you? [For all of the joy of their victories in the First, and so recently, something under his cowl might seem to darken as he turns away to lead down the walk to the tavern. However briefly it's there, it is there. It wouldn't be the first time someone tried to take the Warrior of Light and of Darkness from their worlds, nor would it be the last, and there was the sad truth of it.]

[But he shut it aside after a moment to gesture to the marketplace around them.] There will be none of that here either, I think you will find. I will insist upon it, and these are good people. We may have had our differences in the past, but if recent events have taught us anything, it is that we must always stand together and look after one another. You are one of them now.
