<span style="color: #FF0000">Alessandro looked at Saria, a curious expression on his face. This girl was definitely going to be more difficult to deal with then he had first anticipated. Yet, despite the annoyances she was already giving him, he found it strange to realize that he didn't very much mind. In fact, he almost felt as if he was enjoying talking to the girl, like he would if... but no. He had to cast those thoughts out and focus on the task at hand. Saria, however, was being infuriatingly uncooperative, and somehow her attractiveness was making him lose focus. Finally, he was able to speak.<br/><br/>"Listen to me. I'm not kidnapping you, I'm saving you. The only reason you're here is so that all of the big corporations don't have a hand at trying to kidnap you. If I had let that happen, you'd be unconscious and on a way to an interrogation chamber right now. With me, you're enjoying a civil conversation so that we can discuss your future. Isn't that preferable?" he asked, smiling slightly at her.<br/><br/>"Here's the deal: if I send you back home, you'll have dozens of trackers on your trail ready to infiltrate your father's company and steal everything that he has. If that happens, you'll also just so happen to lose everything that you have. So unless you want that to happen, you're stuck with me until we can figure out what to do. Now, maybe my intentions aren't the best. Maybe I want to make some money off of kidnapping you as well. But at least with me, you're getting a chance to negotiate the terms," he said smoothly, giving her a small wink.</span>
