The jingling return of what seemed to be a still-significant amount of silver made Aoba feel much better about things, his expression lightening drastically when he saw the pouch get handed back. It made his own thanks towards the merchant that much more genuine, rather than strained, before he fell back into Declan’s wake.
While Ren seemed to see fit to inform Ghost exactly how the exchange with Tess had gone, naturally assuming that the little construct was similar in nature and function to an Allmate like himself, Aoba’s attention stayed on Declan. His face fell a little at the cautioning, but not from any disappointment.
It was a look of concern, reminded that this world wasn’t all “good luck” just because it had been kind to him so far.
