"If your intentions are pure, and not evil," She says slowly, "then you will not mind telling us your intentions, to a greater detail.  You should understand that we aren't exactly willing to simply hand over something that sounds so valuable without knowing more of your purpose... especially not in a place or situation that we know so little about." She looks directly into Emair's eyes. "Tell me more about what you want to do with the book.  If your motives are pure, then I have no qualms with giving it to you, if it is among us... I only ask that you explain yourself.  Surely a few minutes, if that, of explanation will not hinder you?"If he attacks us, then that means that he has selfish or ulterior motives... and we must fight them.  But if he answers and agrees with what I say, then I think we can trust them...</blockquote>
