"Fair?" Illyana whispers, quickly covering her mouth with her hand. The
T'Skrang once more proves his mercenary nature to her. Maybe it is the
coldblooded nature of his race. Actually, she remembers hearing somewhere
that the T'Skrang are ruled by their womenfolk. So perhaps T'sunami is a
rebel according to his race? She fights the urge to smile at the thought of
T'sunami as a rebel. Then she clears her throat and speaks loudly again.
"Frankly, my Lord, I must admit that I am more fearful of our chances of
survival in an environment, that might have seen the end of a group
including at least one 5th circle Adept. Would you happen to have even an
idea of the level of competence of the rest of the Far Striders? And how
many members it contained? Where did they stay in Haven? Where were they
last seen? Your source of information surely must have told you that much",
she says to Remiel.
*** OOC: Illyana is willing to take the job, but she is not a fool. ***
