He waited for her to stop, before explaining. "The 'I win' was because I bet that your reaction would be slightly annoyed, but otherwise unconcerned. I was right, and won, mostly because it didn't bet. But we take whatever we can.<br/><br/>And I hope the shadow stalker was giving you ideas, mostly because they have been improving themselves for a good while. And I bet the Sunnies came to ask you to join. They are working for, probably without realizing it, one of my enemies. Their constructs fought mine, and while we won, they got a lot more ideas from mine than I from theirs."<br/><br/>He summoned up a bottle of wine and a pair of glasses, filled one, and slid it across to her. "The shadow stalkers have given you a passing grade. I have to now decide how deep you get to jump in. The further you delve into our secrets, and by our I mean the shadow stalkers and mine, the harder it will be for you to get out. If you get to deep, I will enspell you to make sure my opponents don't get more from you than they have already gotten."<br/><br/>He nodded at her look, dead serious. "And yes, I am completely serious. This is the world of epic adventurers and even more so. Step in, or back out. I will let you choose. And honestly, those are the two real choices. Trying to qualify it just means you get less information in exchange for the max protection I can get."
