.

Indeed it was. Soon everyone was respectfully seated in a circle around Jylan and Sebas, who were still standing in the middle. Sebastian had an annoying amount of dirt shoved up his nose already, even though he hadn't taken off his bandana for a single minute. Then, someone yelled, "Why should we make the deal your boyfriend is giving us?!"

Jylan blinked. Sebastian dropped the bag of coins, and it landed on the ground with a clink of metal. Jylan thought for a minute, and then he grinned, while Sebastian pulled the handkerchief on his face up further. 

"Oh. Well, of course-" Jylan said, but Sebastian interrupted him. 

"Do you want the deal or not!" Sebastian said, quickly picking the bag of coins up again, and safely out of reach from 5 people who immediately tried to grab the sack. He glared at all of them and then turned back to Jylan. 

Now everyone was silently thinking the deal over. Jylan was, as usual, creating a small dust storm by tapping his foot at the speed of a running cheetah, which didn't help Sebastian's case of having dust in his nose. Then, people slowly started holding out their hands. 

"Give us half of it first, and then tell us what you want us to do." They all said in unison. Sebastian sighed and grabbed coins out of the sack, handing them to Jylan, who passed them around. Of course, there were a few people who tried to steal coins or take extra, but Jylan swatted them away from the precious coins. Of course, then, it was time for Sebastian to be a bossy tyrant yet again. 

"Well. Uhm. We would like you to continue working for them, Just sell information to us while you're doing it. That way you'll get some money from the advisors too. That's it. If the information is good, you'll get extra money as tips, since we have some leftovers." Sebastian said. The sack of coins was now much much lighter, but there were still undeniably some coins left in it. 

And that was it. 

"Should we go now, then?" Jylan asked Sebastian, who nodded. As they turned, someone's voice rang out behind them. 

"Wait! Are you that couple who makes carpets?!" 

Jylan turned around and winked, and Sebastian slapped a hand over his face and dragged him away. 

"Hopefully we'll get some good information," Jylan muttered. They were now sitting together in a carriage. Then, suddenly, the carriage hitched on a rock, sending one side of the carriage bouncing upwards and the other wheel almost splintering. 

Looks like they need more engineers here. What a sad carriage this is. 

Jylan and Sebastian were thrown shoulder-to-shoulder, right next to each other, and noses almost touching. They both stared at each other, not sure what to do and finally, Jylan pressed a finger on Sebastian's lips, which were barely a centimeter away from his. Sebastian blinked and kissed his finger. 

Finally, the carriage hitched back into place, a bit shakily, and the two, both bright red, scooted back to the opposite side of the carriage.
