<div class="floatright">(http://static.asiachan.com/Watanabe.Miyuki.full.80280.jpg)</div>The value of secrets... yes, the value of such a commodity among sentient beings was near priceless, people willing to kill for such things. Information was worth much more than gold, much more than an army of fighters. Information, the core of any plan, and silence being what wielders of information treasure most. The more people know about a plan, the more likely it would be leaked. However, a trusted confidant? Miyuki has been there, been one of them, and she was sure that despite the burden she carries and her position of a spectator in the grand scheme of things, she could maintain the secrets which people confided in her.<br/><br/>Daria shared about the city, and Miyuki took in every word which escaped her mouth. There were rumors of the city being influenced by something more than just the Plane of Water which serves as the source of fresh, cooling water, and although it was more of guesswork and gossip to Miyuki's ears, the woman before her actually confirmed one of these gossips to be real...<br/><br/>Indeed. To harness the power of love and lust, who knows what one might be able to achieve? The seat of power could be, no... would be, affected by someone with the intent to harness the influences of the Primal Plane, and Miyuki had no doubt that Daria might have used a little of it to her advantage in the past. After all, the two women here seemed to share something in common, their physical liberty and ability to pleasure both men and women...<br/><br/>What came next was a surprise to Miyuki. After all, she was still an adventurer, a relatively newcomer to the Adventurer's Guild and partner of Paladin Etron and Sil. While she knew that her commitments lay with them, this was a chance to propel herself to the higher levels of influence within Laelith, possibly allowing her to be of use not in just her body and brains, but in influencing a couple of minds and ears within the city.<br/><br/>It's risky, but being here seemed risky enough. Perhaps to get Shoni and her followers a spot in the temple would be something of an achievement for Miyuki if she could wriggle her fingers in the correct direction?<br/><br/>A hand reached out for Daria, followed by the other as Miyuki wrapped her fingers around the older woman's hand. She jerked her head a little, moving her hair out of the way from her face as she smiled at her employer. Miyuki wanted her to feel at ease, especially after such a long speech. She could feel the woman's heartbeat, the woman's anxiety perhaps, but Miyuki smiled, giving Daria a sincere look.<br/><br/><strong>"I could always use a strong backer in the city. Perhaps someone powerful who I can trust, who can pick me up should I end up in the wrong hands. Who you seek, if I might be able to fulfill that role, then let it be Konayama Miyuki who helps the House... no... who helps <em>you</em>. If one as powerful as you can trust me, then I shall align myself with you, in the hopes that it might aid a mutual cause."</strong>
