Arialla could tell that Safrin wasn't pleased with the prospect of her joining the Loreseekers, and that made her reconsider. Perhaps she didn't have to formally join the guild to keep abreast of their developments. Even if she did ... Could she maintain divided loyalties? Give the guild lip service and her heart to Safrin? Arialla doubted it: she wasn't exactly the scheming type. And she didn't think Safrin would accept such an arrangement, either.
Well, regardless, she knew a dismissal when she heard one. She nodded, bowing her head. "I will come again after LongNight, and I will seek out Amalia and Delphia. Thank you, my lady."
