'You have, yes." Safrin replied with a willing nod. "But my vanity does not run quite so deep that I'd let you drown in it and ignore your potential." Her lips pulled tight for a moment as her eyes sparkled wickedly. "Yet, anyways." She had her limits after all, and though Jigano could stroke her ego with the best of them, he also had pushed her farther than any mortal in recent memory.
"Cost?" She said the word as if tasting something offensive. "Your allegiance would be to me, first and foremost. " Safrin said with a shrug; that much should have already been obvious. "Whether Ludo allows you to keep your lantern is not my call. Swing it about all you like so long as it doesn't interfere with the work we shall be doing." Something in her tone very much suggested that she'd prefer to see such arduous tasks left to the others. "And there will be work, Jigano. Much of it. There are...indications, you might say, of things to come. But I wouldn't trust that knowledge to anyone less than someone with my complete confidence. One with the pursuit of life and knowledge as their highest priority."
