Amir watched  Rilian quietly for a moment, listening almost more to the sound of her voice than the words, his thoughts focusing upon those trembling lips... then he shook his head slightly, grateful for the thick mist that surrounded him as he described a bit of his strengths "I am better at using my minions in combat than I am at spying, but I could... refocus myself if nessicary, given a days notice. More to the point, should we capture a powerful enough underling who proved resitant to torture, I can exert power over the dead, and once turned into a minion of mine, they will not refuse us any information they know or to help us." He gestured towards the Solar waiting with infinate patience by the doorway as an example of such a minion. "Though there is a limit to just how powerful a being I can command like this."
