He flicked his eyes to Shanty when she spoke her concerns. He still had her arm looped with his in a friendly jest of a simple evening stroll. His free hand slipped over and patted her arm comfortingly.
"It's not just you," his grin was rueful, "I believe my own sarcasm hadn't help matters either."
He paused, stopping Shanty for a moment to check along their way for patrolling guards. True they were just the police of paris, answering to Clopin. But things would be faster, safer, and more discreet with as few meetings as possible. Once he saw the area was clear he continued along the way with Shanty, and their conversation.
"I think we just have a fundamentally different way of thinking from our quadruped comrades, and it caused things to go off on the wrong foot," he gave Shanty's arm one more comforting squeeze, "We are a team now, Shanty. Victory or defeat will be because of our combined efforts. Responsibility won't be yours alone."
Ahead Aurelio saw the others and knew they would have to cut their conversation to a close. So he added one last comment, "And you may not be destined to be serious and silent, but you have skills that I do not have. Skills that will prove invaluable. We just simply compliment what the other lacks, hm?"
