Nigel quietly listens to Arlia, having a feeling that she wasn't telling him the whole story, especially after having received a report from one of his spies shortly after the Medici head visited. Even though he wasn't able to get all of the details, his spy had told him that the boss, Arlia's father, had taken the young woman into a separate room, from which they didn't reappear for some time. However, he doesn't say anything to contradict her story, not wanting to lose her by revealing that he had spies infiltrate her family. Instead, he only says, "I'm glad to hear that your father seems to like how things are being run."
