[Almost immediately, Therion starts to regret this, as Cyrus' focus is turned entirely on him. If only there were a way to do this while simultaneously not being perceived... But alas, he has already committed.]
Then let's go. [That doesn't answer the questions, but whatever - picking which to start with can happen once they're away from camp.] There's another clearing nearby.
[Therion turns and stalks off to the edge of camp. It seems like he isn't going to wait on Cyrus, but he does at least pause while still within sight to make sure the scholar is following him without trouble. Even if Therion wants to blow off steam, he doesn't actually want to do so at the cost of worsening any of his ... associates' health.]
[ alas it is therion's destiny to be perceived. or, at least, that's kind of a given when you travel around with cyrus, scrutinizing king and insatiable busybody. not only that, but he cares very much about his fellow travelers, so it's the combination of being both perceived and loved, which means cyrus' very intense scrutiny is used in the worst way possible, of mentoring and providing genuine care and attention to the travelers. terrible.

Believe it or not, there are very few tomes published on the art of larceny. [ this is said with a light laugh, clearly joking. ] And the majority of those that are tend to be fictional tales - not usually my cup of tea, but I've absorbed them nonetheless.
