"…"
"…What?"
Feeling confident that the young man in front of them would say yes to their request, it was no surprise that both Vynar and Anton were left speechless after hearing the exact opposite leave Valyr's mouth.
Glancing at each other for a bit, the two of them briefly thought back to the various offers they made in exchange for the request, being reminded that some of them were even unplanned due to Aster's own offers.
Because of that, the two deluded themselves into thinking that they'd just misheard him, prompting Anton to look at the young man once more as he asked with a slightly forced smile, "Could you… could you repeat what you just said?"
At those words, Aster briefly looked at the man before softly shaking his head in disapproval.
"As I've said it before…" Feeling the same way Aster did towards how the other two reacted to his words, Valyr made sure to not show it on the outside as he responded in a calm tone.
