As the noble before them speaks, he listens politely, making sure the verbose man has said all he has to say before replying."Alek is all about gaming the system," Ru says, shaking his head. "His pride is tied up in how well he's learned to cheat at 'the game,' and it strikes me that our circumventing the system would be just another victory for Alek; he'd gladly, smugly sit in a cell for quite some time if he thought it proved that the laws we support really are so weak that we can only enforce them by cheating as he does."No, the only way to truly cow a man like Alek is to beat him without the cheats," the monk insists. "As for my boon, I don't recall hearing an expiration date on it. I think, perhaps, this is what my gambling friends called holding an ace? I think I'm quite content knowing I have the card to play for now, without needing to show my hand. I hope you don't mind?"</blockquote>
