But as the creature speaks, confusion turns to recognition and Saraphina's face brightens.<br/><br/>In a warm tone Saraphina addresses the woman with a note of delighted surprise, "A Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Yula's people had you painted as a mere elemental, to be bound into service like an exotic pet." She makes the last statement with subdued disdain, as if she were speaking of the actions of ignorant children. Her tone brightens again, "It is a delight to see a Genasi before me instead. My name is Saraphina, and my two associates are Salana and Marrok." She pauses to indicate her allies with the wave of an upturned hand. "I find it odd that such barbaric people would seek to enlist the aid of one so civil as you. And though I would not want to sound ungrateful for such a generous offer, it is kind of important that we know what it is that we are signing up for, otherwise you end up with those annoying 'changes of heart' among your followers."<br/><br/>"And though I do not wish to bore you with our affairs, I think it worth saying that we were asked to stop the predations of the gullet. Their attacks have stopped all trade in this region, and among other factors, threaten to bring about a collapse of civilization in the local area." Saraphina turns her head towards Yula and asks rhetorically "Speaking of which, what did you hope to accomplish with all this?" Saraphina displays an innocent smile if only to prod Yula a little more.
