He smirked a little and took the bag back as he turned toward her. "As you wish but I was simply thinking of guard duty...," he said with a shrug. "I am good with a sword don't get me wrong, but...my father has many men at his command and is increasingly uncomfortable with me as I age...I guess he is afraid I will usurp his power."  He looked back out over the water for a moment taking a deep breath a small child started to scurry passed them and he smiled some an idea forming in his mind.  He crouched down, "Come here," he said kindly.<br/><br/>The little boy came over slowly and cautiously, "Yes sir?" he asked his face was covered in soot his clothes were tattered and he was painfully skinny.  Raoul's  heart  broke a little looking at him and he smiled a little.<br/><br/>"Here," he said putting the bag in the boy's pocket. "Don't worry about what is in that...just take it to your mother and father okay?" he asked messing the kids hair up a little and then standing as the child ran hurriedly toward home.  "I do not try to buy everything," he said casually. "It would be unwise to lump me with most noble's again" his eyes flashed with the barest hint of anger but it passed quickly.  "I am nothing like them and until you know me I suggest not passing judgement...after all isn't that what the Good Book tells us? Are you without sin?"
