"Hmm," she said thoughtfully. "I suppose it depends on if I've finished my current assignment before then. If I'm free, I might be convinced."

Aedan's interest was obviously piqued by her words and not just those that indicated she could be convinced to go with them. "Assignment? What is this assignment, pray tell?"
He assumed it wasn't something secretive since he doubted it would be mentioned otherwise but one could never know for sure. He couldn't begin to count the number of fellow nobles he'd encountered that like to vaguely refer to whatever business they were involve in solely to pique the interest of their fellows. Also to make them seem more important than they actually were, of course.

She smiled. "Protecting Lady Laurette and Ladie Melanie, of course," she said, leaning back in her chair.
Sebastian blinked. "Wait... protecting...? So you're not a noblewoman...?"
"Me, a noblewoman..." She laughed a little, though not maliciously. "That would be something. No, I'm their bodyguard. Actually, I'm a mercenary. So if their ladyships' father no longer requires my services, and the money is right... I'd be more than happy to accompany you to Estrin."

"I'm sure something could be arranged. Provided your contract has ended, of course," Aedan replied with his smile still in place.
"So I'm getting replaced, huh?" Feran smirked as he spoke, referring to the times Aedan had offered him a bit of extra money during his time off to act as guard or lookout for whatever venture the young nobleman was getting up to.
"What can I say?" Aedan replied airily, "I'm afraid I've found a prettier face. Not that yours is anything to sneeze at." His words held the sort of casual tone of someone that was used to simultaneously teasing and flirting with his friends.

"Oh, come now," Sebastian teased back, winking at Laurette on his arm. "If we had to say which were the fairer, I'd think Feran would definitely win. Though dear Laurette puts them both to shame."
The woman giggled, flushing deeply. "You flatter me, Sebastian," she said, and he laughed.
"But of course, my dear. Would you not flatter a rose were it to spring up suddenly on a path lined by briars?"

Feran rolled his eyes at how obvious the flirting was, though the smile betrayed that he was more amused than anything. He inclined his head slightly toward Melanie, his voice lowered only a bit since he wasn't really trying to hide what he was saying. "I'd say they're normally not this bad but then I'd be lying," he told her with a smirk.
