Both of you can tell that she's hiding something, though it seems it might be about her love life.  Alana gets the sense there's something else there as well.  Maybe not a secret, maybe something that's known but never spoken about....something regarding the protector.<br/><br/>The commander sighs, "Maybe it's nothing to be hidden in your world.  But the high lord protector and I are the only of our order in Laelith, at least that we communicate with.  Certainly a few other paladins may pass through, but none else of our brotherhood..." she pauses and shrugs, "Or sisterhood I suppose since we two are both women.  But no matter.  We two  are the only who live in the city.  As such and because she is both my elder, my.... the higher ranking of the the two of us... I am open to her scrutiny.  While we are allowed to take partners, to do so would come under certain expectations.  While we worship Bahamut, he is allied with Metahn, especially when it comes to choosing a lover."<br/><br/>She grits her jaw, "Still, I do not think my love life needs to be a part of your investigation."<br/><br/>She seems to be opening up a little, but still concerned.
