ZARIAH
I haven't been falling all this time - I've been flying
Zariah pulled her head back, watching Lucas closely as he responded, a light smirk on her lips. Using her as proof only made her shrug as she turned on her heel, walking back towards the table where a few glasses and a bottle of red wine sat. ”My deepest desires are no secret, really. I am happy to reveal them.” she said, knowing that her real desires were not something she would ever share or else be called weak. Quietly, she opened the bottle of wine, pouring two glasses.
She gestured for him to approach, sipping her wine.
”So you are offering intelligence.” she said swirling the wine in her glass as she considered him. ”In exchange for what?” That would be the real kicker, still not entirely certain that intelligence alone would be worth whatever price he had in mind. Surely it was something more than Edrei had ever indicated. At any rate she assumed he would start high and work his way down to something reasonable for her to accept.
