<strong>"Indeed, what good is a person's word once its broken? What's sworn to secrecy shall remain so."</strong>Jian hummed appreciatingly at the sight of the platinum coins. It was a fair bit of money there, but at the same time she wondered passingly just what the task ahead of them might entail. Still, she was curious and it would be a chance to try out her magic a little more anyhow, so she smiled at Alana and then looked over at the Dragonborns.<br/><br/><strong>"I am Jian Amara, its a pleasure to meet you High Lord Protector."</strong>She bowed deeply, with no mocking in it, nor sarcasm showing in her gesture. She usually wasn't one for courtly gestures, but she could behave herself for a bit anyway. Standing back straight she continued to speak in a calm and confident voice then.<strong>"I only recently arrived to Laelith and introduced myself to the organisations in the city. Since then, I've sought out Miss Sunsorrow precisely because I trust in her discretion about matters. Suffice to say she came highly recommended and I was more than happy to join her in a partnership. After such a show of trust I will uphold it on my part as well."</strong>She spoke this calmly and collected, giving a summary of the situation to explain it somewhat, but not telling more unless asked. Figuring it was enough to give them what answers they might want.
