Watching her as she moves to take the seat he gives a little shrug, "Ok, so there was that one little misrepresentation, but I could hardly have seen the real way you were if I walked in and said 'Hello, I am the Lord of Thieves and I am here to judge you to become one of the thirteen.', right?"<br/><br/>Looking around the table he says, "Lhurriel is one of us now, she will get the same respect that we give each other, I will not have this group disrupted by petty differences.  We have chosen others before, the simple fact that she is a woman does not make her any less then any of us, her skills are known and she is looked up to in that part of town.  I hope I make myself clear on this."<br/><br/>Looking at her when she asks her question he sits and looks at her for a tie before he answers, "I sent Amery out to do some research, to find the people that have been hunting thieves in the streets.  In that way, I am responsible for his death, he was caught, tortured and killed, I myself gathered his body and his belongings, a deal made with one of the actual killers staff."<br/><br/>Taking a deep breath, "Lhurriel, I hope that you can understand that at this moment we cannot go after then men that did this, not directly, we cannot simply assassinate them, it would call far to much suspicion to us, to all the thieves, it would be an all out war and I will not have that.  We've other ways, and we will use them, but before I tell you the names I need you to tell me that you will abide by this judgment, that you will work within our ways to seek out the revenge that I know you must."
