Talanna's pose caught Alexander by surprise but he said nothing at first, petting the elven woman's head lightly and relaxing back against the seat with an amused expression on his face for a moment as he trailed a pair of fingers along the back of the elven woman's neck. "I admit I was not expecting to see you in such a pose." His tone joking, he listened to the exchange between Talanna and the coachman, closing his eyes while taking a breath.<br/><br/>"The corner of Harrow and Tower roads, the store's name Red Stone Alchemy is marked up in a sign outside." He spoke in reply, looking outside silently for a moment, one hand brushing along Talanna's head casually another resting on the seat next to his thigh. The whole evening had been a bit confusing but also interesting, it had provided him with answers he had desired to get for a while already, but at the same time he left the place feeling a little more worried.<br/><br/>The streets crossed at a nice section of town, not quite in the nobility's neighborhood but close, and yet in a section where the common folks came to shop as well. He tried to keep the store at a place where both honest and dishonest people could show up, afterall, it was only a matter of at what hour they showed up. Given how he was renting the place and living above his store anyway, he didn't pay too much attention to 'normal work hours'.<br/><br/>"I am usually at my store unless I'm running for errands. If you find the door locked, knocking loudly on the glass<em>might</em>get my attention. Of course, if you are coming up I might need you to pretend to be clients." Alexander sighed and looked at the people, one by one. His hand caressing along Talanna's head and lowering down to brush his fingertips slowly along her shoulders and down towards the small of her back, pausing to raise that hand up in the air and adjust his outfit's collar. "Nonetheless, I'll try and keep an open door for people involved when possible."<br/><br/>Alexander was dead serious about this, his expression no longer joking, and his tone lacking the playful tone to it, casting a look from one person to another. "If we're lucky, we'll all come off a little ahead in this though, and if we're not so lucky, there's no point in worrying too far into the future." He shrug, looking back outside. "I still haven't found a way to distill the<em>true</em>Aqua Vita however, and not the alcohol base that some jokingly refer to. I doubt I'll give up on that as long as there's life in me or I achieve that goal." He smirked.
