Nirael considered Mara's words seriously for a moment, having nodded his agreement briefly for her to work as they spoke. He felt a touch ashamed for destroying her clothing, but considering the alternative of taking her life, he figured she'd still find it was better this way than in being sent to her afterlife for the attack in the night.<br/><br/>The news made him grimace slightly though. It was pretty much what he had feared. The enemy was smart enough to avoid letting everyone know who they worked for. That made it easier for the enemy to control things, manipulating a few people in key positions. Yet at the same time it made things difficult for him to try and acquire information on the enemy that he would have to face with Lunari eventually.<br/><br/><strong>"I can't say I'm sorry for the death of that man, but its a shame he wont be able to answer us anymore. Still, if you came here to find us you certainly accomplished your mission on that part. Captivity then, well I would say its reversed for the moment. You may have been a pawn but you are lucky one in this instance. I was expecting demon-worshipping cultists or other lunatics willing to deal with demons. Not being <em>that far gone</em> is definitely working in your favor."</strong>He nod his head seriously, casting a look over her bosom briefly.<br/><br/>The offer she made had him wondering. It was not a bad one perhaps, but it meant trusting a person that could be an enemy, could be just a better liar than he was able to tell. Still, he wasn't cold-blooded enough to just kill someone just to be sure, especially if they had surrendered and offered information like she had. Granted, she had not offered much but if it was all she knew, he was willing to accept that.<br/><br/><strong>"I am willing to entertain the thought of it, but I will check on it with Lunari. As for your bow, I will leave it here, with you. Consider it a show of trust."</strong>He was not going to add even if she did turn on them, he was reasonably sure that he and Lunari could take her down still. Nevertheless, he headed towards where Lunari was, casting a brief look at her over his shoulder though.<strong>"Hold still until I return. I give you my word you will not be killed here tonight if you do not attack us again."</strong>He would not promise more, not before having had a chance to speak with Lunari.<br/><br/><em>"She doesn't know much, but it seems she was just a pawn for a demon's game in this. She has offered to travel with us, but its not my decision alone. It would put you too at risk if I chose to trust her, but I am inclined to think she is just another pawn manipulated into this mess. Either way, we still need some rest soon..."</em>He was thinking of what to say to her as he walked towards Lunari, briefly wondering about mentioning the fact he'd seen her watching them with her fingers wandering like that.<em>"As for... matters of relief... I believe you were chasing bliss while witnessing myself and Mara. If you ever felt you could trust yourself into my hands, I would gladly at least offer a helping hand to aid you in things, under your control and at your terms and rules. Of course, I understand if you'd prefer not, but there's quite a difference between doing such things alone, and with someone who's company you may enjoy."</em>
