So, your value as a guide is greatly diminished to me, as you would also guide those with eyes to see towards us; I would rather not intrude upon the workings of this world for now."[/color] - she shifted her attention to his shapeshifting staff - [color=f26522]"So, unless your shadow could change its form the same way....."[/color] - cutting herself off, she returned her gaze towards Adael - [color=f26522]"What is it you hope to gain by travelling with me? I have no desire for worldly power or struggle, and would not support you should you get yourself in trouble, if my protection and support is what you are after. If the only thing that guides you in this is an idle curiosity - we could just find a quiet spot and swap the stories of our worlds; me, I would tell you about how Heaven intrudes and the Hell that was always there, you, I expect to tell me what do you know of your own world's setting of this place. How does [i]this[/i] sound to you, then?"[/color]
