He gave the male a pat on his shoulder of understanding. "At least someone is helping you. I committed eleven counts of murder against rapist bandits before I was sure about being in a different world, and am still trying to figure out all the convolutions of this place. If nothing else, I can<em><span class="bbc_u"><strong>HELP</strong></span></em>keep you from making serious missteps. The most important being the Fae, at least for the moment. Though I might not be the best person to do that... hmmm."<br/><br/>He frowned, and then remembered Sapphire.<em>Sapphire, sorry to bother you, dear, but can I get some help? It is not urgent, but might be important. One of the survivors from the impact has woken up, and I need to explain the Fae to him. Also testing to see how he reacts to magic, and so far the answer is 'strangely.'</em><br/><br/>He didn't want to bring her in, he was no longer entirely sure she wasn't working for Tiamat, but he needed help. He didn't want to bring a Fae in, the other women were not optimal choices for this, Meridia wisely wouldn't move from the lair, Aurelia shouldn't leave the lair and her daughter alone, so that left Sapphire. Of course, he COULD bring in Blossom, and simply ask her to not smite him for disrespect and instead tell him, but that would not create the image he wanted.
