[QUOTE="Foxbytes, post: 7000754, member: 6866331"] Najiyah studied Kaniel for several long, silent seconds, speculating on the intensely personal tone of his words. [B][COLOR="#800080"]"...A chance for redemption is a wish I would be pleased to grant..."[/COLOR][/B] Her gaze returned to Derafsh as she addressed him. [B][COLOR="#800080"] "...if your intentions for such are virtuous, but I fear even we could do nothing on behalf of the Sultan whose-name-we-do-not-speak. That would be far too dangerous for the city."[/COLOR][/B] Ever forthright with her thoughts anyway, it was difficult to tell if Najiyah was being so candid with their position because of the effects of Akilah's spell, or because she saw no advantage to promising what couldn't be delivered. She continued introspectively. [B][COLOR="#800080"]"Neither of us would covet the value any treasure might pose; our duty is to the safety and prosperity of Tajar. But if this horde of the Sultan's does exist, it will only cause strife and greed for so long as it remains undiscovered."[/COLOR][/B] Her expression became wary as she studied the man, silently wondering just how forthright he was being. His motives seemed solid enough, but being this close-up to the creature, Najiyah hadn't missed that the demeanor of Derafsh's second mouth did not match the hang-dog imploring from the first.
