Talion would have loved to answer the sea god's question and use it to probe and learn more about the deity and this whole situation.  But that would risk discovery by Pearl, which he was certain would cause this whole thing to blow up in their faces.  Kisara seemed to be trying to do some of that herself, though she was blunter about it than he would have been.  But that could work in her favor.<br/><br/>Mouse and Zavros were blessedly straightforward and that would help Kisara's efforts as well.  Though he did a mild double take when the slender and petite warrior asked the towering bumpkin if he could raise a city.  She asked so diffidently that he almost expected the larger man to answer in the affirmative.  He seemed as taken aback by it as any of them though.  Which, again, was positive.  It showed a lack of guile in their group.  Which would make it easier for those with guile to operate.  He could have hugged the two of them.<br/><br/>In the meantime, it seemed that the lovely Wavecrest might be a good source of information herself.  And a willing one.  Her explanation also did make sense, but he still had to be careful about accepting it at face value.  A lot could be going on here that they didn't know about.  "Ah, then you are clever, Lady Wavecrest.  For it is one thing to know how to do something and another to know when to do so."  Her offer to slip away...would be risky but likely also the best way to get some things straight.<br/><br/>The handsome thief leaned over to Kersinta, "I will return, but don't worry.  All of us are dedicated to seeing you safe.  Keep your head down and stay quiet, keep close to Kisara if the party moves before I'm back."  He gave her a smile that invited her to trust in him, gleaming with confidence that was only partially fake.<br/><br/>Then he nodded and leaned back over to the other side of his chair and the blue hued beauty of Wavecrest, "I think elsewhere would be the perfect place to...talk," he stressed the word slightly, "more freely.  And give me the chance to admire you freely as well.  I'm sure a clever girl such as you would know a way to get us out of the room without much fuss or note, wouldn't you?"
