Perhaps it was thanks to the honey water Van had diligently kept handing him.

I’ve included double the proposed commission.” The viscount placed a coin pouch on the table. Cadel swiftly snatched it up and immediately counted the money right in front of him. The sight of him acting like a beggar frantically snatching up a dropped breadcrumb made the Viscount’s brow furrow.
