The Terrestrial answers for him; "Well, if you're going to be all techically legalistic about it, then it was all thirteen. But almost all of them were just his wives on paper. See, between him and Pearl, they had one huge bleeding heart."<br/><br/>The Water Aspect pours some drink for Azure. "Not that you'd've really known it by looking, Miss Azure. I only knew 'cuz I visited him once, and joked about it. Then Pearl goes and says 'Oh no, master Valens, most of them are just our little....' Hey, Galus, what'd she call them?"<br/><br/>The Infernal smirks. "She called them our little treasures." Pause, blink. "Or responsibilities for one of them."<br/><br/>Valens looks at the block of jade. "Sister's project. Uuugh." He looks like he'd rather not really deal with it, but goes on ahead. "Well, I'll tell you now, unless you're a good seller, I'm probably not going to give you what you could get for it. But, if you're willing, I'll bribe you a little to not sell it to certain people, least not directly."
