He grinned, watching her. "I didn't believe it would be that easy. I don't expect you to tell me all that I wish to know without a price. Therefore, I have decided to answer those same questions about myself first. All I ask is that once you know who I am, and what I wish for, you will not withhold the knowledge I seek from me. After all, I shall be concealing nothing, you may be sure of that, and you may judge for yourself whether you think you can trust me. Are we agreed?" He held out his hand once more for her to shake, his eyes watching hers.
