He looks as though he is on an errand, covered up with a casual-looking cloak.
"Lord Vincent." Maria calls out, gasping slightly, "It's been a while. How is Vance keeping up?"
I catch the vendor sneaking in observing looks towards us. Knowing that rumor is around, that seems quite reasonable.
"Vance is...holding up as usual."
"That's a pity. I didn't know he'd be a person like that." Maria tuts under her breath and shakes her head.
"He's always been a rogue." Vincent laughs light-heartedly, crossing his arms behind his back.
I open my mouth to say something when something hits my nose.
"Oh, dear." Maria mutters to herself.
