"Oh..." Layland said. For a second, that was all he could think to say in response. So Cian was just here to hide. He wasn't here looking for information like Layland was? Well of course Layland wasn't actually important to him. He didn't want to be important to Cian. But of course he should be; that was the point of the love potion and there shouldn't have been any way for Cian to resist him. Assuming Layland made the potion as strong as he thought he did. It'd be hard to test that now. That made him think, and his eyes went slightly wide with the thought. If Cian was just here to hide, then maybe...

"Does it work?" Layland asked. "You're not...Since you drank that potion. You haven't been feeling different have you?" he asked. He couldn't quite bring himself to ask if the other was feeling in love with him. He didn't seem to be acting like it though, so maybe Layland had some hope. "It's possible it didn't work. That would be best..." he sighed.
