Jian stared at the commander seriously for a moment before stepping ahead towards her, casting a brief look at Alana before speaking at the woman. The similarities were there, though she wasn't too used to dragonborn so she couldn't tell before it was mentioned. She didn't want to sound racist and say something like the two of them looking a bit alike when she wasn't sure just how different dragonborn could be, given she had only met a few in her life so far.<br/><br/><strong>"Discretion is expected in tasks like these, you already have my word to not speak of what I may learn during the investigation, unless its critical to the task. I don't believe your familial relationship enters into that. As long s you don't start judging me for the magic I wield, I shall not use your word against you. It is my belief that actions provoke reactions, so unless you aim to make an enemy of me, I have no reason to seek to do you any harm. That secret is safe."</strong><br/><br/>Jian might have mentioned she wasn't above taking bribes, and once bought she<em>stayed</em>bought, but this was something she had a feeling would make the commander resent her, perhaps even hate her. That would be troublesome in the long run, so she preferred to give her guarantee like this. She wasn't sure if she might expect any gratitude for it, but she at least hoped to make her point clear.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Diplomacy</div><div class="spoiler_body">Diplomacy +11 roll, rolled 9, for total of 20.<br/>At 2013-09-05 10:32:54, Jian Amara (uid: 16754) rolls: 1d20a11 Result: 20 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=49732)</div></div>
