Aisling assumed his careless responses were a defense mechanism. She certainly couldn’t blame him for the reaction so she didn’t press the issue. Otherwise, their business was concluded. There was no other advice she could offer, and he seemed content to follow what little she had given him. She stood as he did, and yellow eyes dropped to the hand he was offering/ She weighed the pros and cons of accepting the implied gesture of thanks. Touching people was risky for a clairvoyant, and she was willing to admit that she didn’t think she could handle anymore of Owen’s pain. He seemed to need the solidarity, so she steeled herself and clasped her hand around his. A good handshake, not too weak not too strong and thankfully without another wash of unwanted memories. “I don’t drink,” she replied, returning her hand back to her side. Her presence would not have been enough to comfort him.
She didn’t ask for money, having all but forced herself on him. Smiling at him gently, she sighed through her nose. “Good luck, Owen. I hope everything works out.”
The fortune teller watched him saunter off to the bar, before turning her attention back to Taiga. Sweet Taiga whom she’d previously neglected in favor of a stranger with a problem. As she did all too often. Darling Taiga, whose forced smile and darkening aura had not gone unnoticed. Aisling moved closer to her companion, but didn’t attempt to see what on her phone was so captivating. She smoothed a hand down Taiga’s arm, cupping her elbow as she cocked her head. “Babe? Are you okay?”
Meanwhile, back at the hotel Sairus picked up his phone when it jingled an announcement of an incoming message. He didn't seem particular disturbed that Owen had up and left without him, was mostly surprised that it had taken him so long to do so. He leaned forward from the popped up pillows to grab the phone from the nightstand. His sensible chuckle was mostly sharp air through his nose.

Sai had never been particular wordy. He took a generous sip of his beer and went back to watching reruns of Deadliest Catch, which was surprisingly entertaining.
