Emiri was actually liking the absence of the Shards, and had half a mind to suggest leaving it behind. Of course, she could already hear Nadeline scolding her for even suggesting such a thing and Wesley disagreeing, so she just kept quiet. Mentally, however, she grumbled and complained and whatnot. She really, really did not like either of those stones at all. The idea of leaving them both with Savayna came to mind, and then she started to wonder exactly how far her help would go for them. She did say 'we' when she mentioned running to the Stilshrine of Miriam, so was she joining their side?

It looked like the same thought had crossed Nadeline's mind. Instead of just thinking it, however, the young woman voiced her thoughts, "[b]Do you believe it to be a good idea to betray Grant so openly? To what extent is your help, exactly?[/b]" She probably didn't mean to come off as rude (and was not one to look a gift horse in the mouth) but she wanted to know before she found herself at the other end of Savayna's blade. "[b] It may be in the better interest to remain at his side...for now, anyway. As soon as you're gone it may raise some flags, no?[/b]"
