Xelise jumps a bit as Maddy reads them aloud.  "How long have you been here?  I didn't even see you follow me..."  he looks at her suspiciously, but then seems to decide to let it pass with a shrug.<br/><br/>"Yes, it seems they do fetch decent amounts... But who's to know who to get the information from."  he reaches over and squeezes the old man's nose shut with his fingers, hoping that the sudden loss of his breathing will wake the man.  As he does so, he looks at Maddy again, still puzzled by the sudden appearance.  "And people call -me- a warlock..." he muses to himself.
