Nyaka looked over Serena and folded her arms.<span style="color: DarkOrange"> "So you're now on the outside what you've always been on the inside? I don't see why people would look at you any differently."</span>She rubbed her chin in thought for a moment and shook her head.<span style="color: DarkOrange">"I think this was an accident, when he got home from dealing Luna he looked ready to murder somebody. Something about that child gets under his skin faster than, well, me. No, Ras would never do this to you, he knows what you mean to me and Sarevess." </span>She moved over and turned Serena around, her hands holding the priestess as though there was nothing wrong.<span style="color: DarkOrange">"Ras' power did this, but so did his temper. Come with Sarevess and I, we're going to do some shopping around the city, I'll show you that people won't see you any differently from what you were. But before that I want to give you this."</span>She pulled the white dagger from her tunic and sat it down on the priestess' table.<span style="color: DarkOrange">"It's a hand-crafted pure ivory shiv with elementium reinforcement, I was going to give it to my child to pass on to theirs, but I want you to have it instead. Take it to the master rogues here and tell them where you got it, their offers will be enough to pay off any house you choose completely."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
