Nirael had kept his lips closed for most part of their hasty departure, figuring that if it was important enough to approach him as he slept and to hold him as a target, then it probably was serious enough he should hear her out once they got to a safe distance. He decided against inquiring too much until they had some distance to where she had found him. Better to leave a cold trail for any others that might come after him, although he wasn't quite sure then what it was that lead her to him. The object she had carried had pointed at him, so perhaps that was to blame, yet the reason was something he would only hear by following along. She was being relatively careful about her approach but she was at least offering to give some explanation soon, and if there were others on the move, he'd rather find out the facts soon and waiting for the others might have only meant he'd be waiting for a fight if the other side wasn't trying to drag him along as well, but simply kill him.<br/><br/>Then she began her story, describing the reason for the object's state, and her task of finding him. It was a little overwhelming, thinking that there was that much importance on the small item, but at the same time he was aware that judging something by its size or looks was foolhardy. She had obviously put a lot of effort into finding him, and by whatever means it had come to pass, the fate had dealt him a wildcard he would have to deal with soon. It might bring him up to a royal flush, or it might end up costing him a lot. Either way, he was willing to take the chance.<br/><br/>The look on her face concerned him though, and the story made him wonder what she was going to do now. It was apparent these 'others' that would be after him, or the object, would try and find them and no doubt take the item and possibly kill or capture at least her, or by now both of them.<strong>"Then I will see about keeping it safe. I don't like the idea of leaving the other part in the enemy's hands either though. Now that I am holding this part, I feel I should try and bring it back together. I am just not sure if that is possible just yet. I am still just building up my power."</strong>He cast a look at her, and reached out to take her hand lightly in his. Smiling to her.<strong>"You have had a hard time trying to find me I suppose. I am sorry to be so selfish, but would you take up the task of travelling with me and aiding me? I would like to get the missing piece back, if it is in the hands of a powerful foe, it might not be possible to do it anytime soon. However, if he has loaned it to a hunting party he isn't travelling with, they might be possible to take out and recover the missing piece."</strong><br/><br/>He spoke his thoughts out loud, looking at her searchingly. He wondered if she would be willing to come along. He rather liked her presence already, and it was obvious this meant a lot to her. He had a ton of questions but at the same time he didn't want to stress her out too much, and it was possible she didn't know too much about this either, just what she had needed to for now.<strong>"Can you tell me something though? It sounds like this is a powerful object and something to keep from wrong hands, but do you know what it is that it does? I am also kind of curious how I will mask it, is it just that having it in my possession is enough, or is there more to it?"</strong>He caressed the object's surface gently while looking at her.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Rolled for Sense Motive, roll of 12 with +13 from skill, for a total of 25.
