It was hard to admit, but she was honestly shocked at how easy it had been to sway the Witcher. She had heard all the stories indeed of his race and creed and what they set about to do in the world, so his sudden acceptance of her "offer" or lack thereof stopped her in her tracks.
"I--" Huh?
"Where are you going?" she asked then, taking his acceptance and his silence for a sign that she was allowed to follow. Whlle his reasoning remained a mystery to her Aniela decided it was best not to ask questions and avoid him changing his mind. She had what she wanted for the time being, and as long as he kept his curiosities and his hands to himself she would keep up her end of the bargain.
"If we're stopping in Flotsam, there's something I need to do before we book a ship. I'm sure you have business there as well, right? 'Orens to collect'. I will go about my business and you will go about yours, and we can meet along the docks. I know the captain of a ship called the Shy Maid. She's a smaller boat but still big enough to take us to where we intend to go. He'll offer me passage for half the price, and you as well if I mention we're friends. More orens to keep in your pockets if that is what you so desire."
In truth, Aniela cared less for money. She had seen it turn men into monsters and women into demons. It wasn't hard for someone with stealth to steal enough to get by, to purchase food and water and a room in an inn should the fates deem in necessary.
But, it was so like a dh'oine to care most for orens. By waving what he wanted in front of his face, she hoped to manipulate him somehow, to get him to bend his ear to her advice more and more throughout their travels. Humans were so unpredictable however, and Witchers even less still. Aniela hoped her prying wouldn't cause any damage between them.
