"Poor coincidences," Riz said, but let the matter lie.  It wasn't more than a few minutes before they were back on the temple grounds.  The women that were out tending the garden now gave the group of elfs a wide berth, and generally avoided eye contact.  And Riz, as if she were familiar enough with the place, made her way directly to the building that Jaime recognized as the temple proper, where she'd met Sister Grace.<br/><br/>Riz moved through the place without a care in the world, and it was in the back, in her private study, that they found Sister Grace.  Riz pounded on the door.  "I have something of yours!"<br/><br/>Grace came to the door and opened it.  She sighed.  "Rizastinolnu."  She pronounced the name much more slowly than elfs did when they spoke to her -- she clearly wasn't comfortable with the language.  "And you come with my friends.  I suppose this isn't a friendly visit?"<br/><br/>"Friendly enough," Riz said.  "Jaime here -- Jaime says that you're willing to pay for her release, I think?  She swore herself into my custody if you refused to offer up something worthwhile in exchange.  Just so we're clear: this is part of Esther's debt to me, and so, part of your silly Temple's debt, yes?  Anyway ... she offered to march naked through the streets and spend the rest of her life in my bed.  Quite an offer, isn't it?  A bit perverted, but I know how humans are."  She shook her head.  "I'm not convinced she isn't hoping to see you fail to follow through."<br/><br/>"So what do you want, Riz?"<br/><br/>The elf shrugged.  "That's a good question.  Jaime, what do you think your freedom and -- let's say dignity -- are worth?"
