"Ahh, privacy would be preferable," she says, with a smile, leading him to a nearby room. Once alone, she continues. "As I said, a bit of a... delicate family problem. I usually try to stay out of family concerns, especially since I<em>thought</em>I was the last living member of my family line. As it turns out, I was wrong, and I have a younger sister, who seems to have... found some trouble. Normally, I wouldn't intervene, but as she's only a hundred years old, now, and would have had no parts in mother's plots. I fear, as does she, that she will be found out, sooner or later, especially since some of my family's old enemies, including the ones who captured me and sold me into slavery, are still out there, and she doesn't have the resources to get far. The problem, of course, is that she has adopted a new life, there, and doesn't want her new family targeted, either, by, say, a sudden disappearance."
