Julian didn't react but just watched and listened. A group of bards that didn't like a member leaving their group. He could have several ideas why that particular leader would want Maeve dead. A job was a job though. Julian's eyes locked onto Maeve. The woman was with child. There was quite an amount of work to be done he thought. Who was the person after her? What exactly was the involvement of Maeve? And of course, the necessary payment needed for such accomplishments and tasks. Julian pushed his body away from the tree and took a few steps toward the couple. His dark cloak danced with the air as he moved.
"Seems, that he actually cares about your predicament. Strange though, as you said he has chosen to not really partake in his father's affairs...." His eyes went to Lucian and then back to Maeve. His eyes looked her up and down and then back to Lucian. "Celebrations to both of you. I assume you two would make such lovely parents....But clearly, this problem will not be good for the baby. I will see to it that the job is taken care of. What are your terms? Kill just the leader? Take out the entire company of bards? Things I would need some information would be the prior history you had with the man..." Julian's eyes lingered on Maeve. He would like as much information as possible before entering the shadows.
"Name, whereabouts, hideout, any particular history I should know of the man."There was a brief pause in Julian's speech as if he was waiting for his words to sink into the couple. "Where will you go in the meantime? Obviously, you both should be somewhere these bards can't reach you and safe...."
