We are both from different worlds. How will we contact one another? Will you simply be counting on me to do, how do you say, dirty little deeds on my world and vice versa?

"I am making a request, Ursula," he said simply. "By the very nature of that act, you are the one in control, as you are the one who will agree to or deny my proposal." It vexed the drow slightly, having to admit that he wasn't on the strong end of the bargain, but he didn't let that show as he idly hopped up onto the rail and balanced himself on his palms.<br/><br/>"Well," the drow began, "my intent, first off, was that you would come and live with me," he explained. "Or rather, my guild," he corrected. "How often you left the guild house aside from work would be up to you, of course, but at least to start with I was thinking of you simply working as any other member of Ultrinnan Veldrin might. Assuming that you cannot function in the dark, I'm sure means can be provided to compensate for such a vulnerability." Velen smiled softly, a calculating smile. "Unless my eyes serve me wrong, you at the absolute least have the potential to be a very dangerous opponent."<br/>
