Cyrus quirked a brow, impressed with Pantea's actions.  As limited as it may be, a form of communication was far better than nothing at all.  Especially when it came to gathering insider information.  He directed a polite smile towards the waitress as Pantea made her request.  As he did so, he reached into his pocket and withdrew a single gold coin and offered it to the catgirl.  It was no mystery that the infected by large were treated like outcasts at best and like wild animals at worst.  Given that fact, it was no guarantee that she would do so just because some stranger asked.  However, he hoped he would tip the scales in their favor by showing their gratitude.<br/><br/>"I hope it wouldn't be too much of a trouble, but we would really appreciate whatever help we could get."<br/><br/>Plus, if it would help him gain the favor of someone that attractive, it would be all the better.  If nothing else than to appease the lustful entity sheathed at his hip and possibly have some fun in the process somewhere down the line.
