"Good questions," came the bright reply. "Good questions indeed." Leaning against the chair, she started counting off the points on her fingers, working out the particulars as she went along - Elise, after all, did most of her thinking on the fly. "Firstly, yes. I'm sure Baz doesn't entirely trust us, but the fact that he came to us in the first place means that he would rather use us than destroy us, so as long as any meetings we may have<em>inside</em>the school can be justified as casing the place, we should be able to keep him off our tails for the immediate future. Secondly, as to how to get things going with Mylera, well, we already know she wants our friend Baz dead, and would be more than happy if there were some enterprising crew that could relieve her of the necessity of crashing through the front gate in order to do it, but we'll need Yonah to help with the initial contact I think. A trip for a little lesson on Iruvian swordsmanship followed by a more extensive meeting somewhere quiet and out of the way to work out the more sensitive details. It's back to negotiations here. They need us more than we need them, or at least we can make it<em>seem</em>that way, which is almost the same thing."<br/><br/>With a happy shrug, she leaned back and fell over and back into her sprawling position on the chair, one leg still hanging lazily over the left arm.
