The door opened slowly; whoever came in clearly wanted to make an entrance.  Talion's curiosity got the better of him and he peeked around the tapestry to see possibly the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen striding into the inner sanctum like she owned the place.  Her face was lovely; shaped as if by an artisan and her delightfully displayed body was a gift from the gods.  The hair and skin tone though, that suggested one of two things.  He grimaced as she spoke, making herself a lot uglier.  He knew very well the kind of people who used<em>that</em>sort of tone to others.<br/><br/>Innora's voice confirmed what he suspected.  This woman was in a position of authority and used it to punch down at those under her.  Lady Pearl, huh?  His eyes widened as the conversation continued.  Her father?  Well, that cleared that up.  God-Blood.  Not good, but it could be worse.  The last bit was what made him almost start and lose his grip on the pole.  Stolen?  But he hadn't taken it yet!  And there had been nothing in the sanctum to take...he'd thought the treasure was hidden, but maybe that was why he hadn't seen it.  It wasn't there to be seen!<br/><br/>Part of him wanted to reveal himself and try to talk his way into more information from the striking priest and the arrogant, drop dead gorgeous demigod.  But he might get just as much by listening from here.  As long as his arms didn't get tired.  He also had a decision to make.  This woman was likely to do something to punish Innora...if she did, should he intervene?  Probably not.  But he probably would.
