Very good questions. Considering it shouldn't be surprising given his history. "[color=plum][b]Very to the point. It reminds me of your grandfather when he was actually being serious.[/b][/color]" It didn't take her long to actually return the answers. She held up a finger briefly for the first question. "[color=plum][b]I don't know why I'm here. I've never really needed a reason to visit before. But there is always something to do here that is better than some alternatives so I fill what role I can.[/b][/color]" Moving to the next two fingers went up. "[color=plum][b]I want to help because she is broken. Letting her past dictate her future is not the way to live. It took me far too long to learn that and I'll be damned if I just sit back and watch.[/b][/color]" The last point didn't need a gesture so she simply put her hands down. "[color=plum][b]And I may not get anything out of it. That is up to Kijani if she wants to offer anything. But there isn't anything I really need or want that I can't get on my own.[/b][/color]" Her expression had remained calm and collected but her eyes were focused. "[color=plum][b]My reputation is not spotless by any stretch of the imagination. Power and leverage I've had in spades throughout my lifetime. Those are all temporary and lack any real value. People are always trying to userp each other to improve their own lives because they only have so long to enjoy it. I'm practically immortal so that kind of nonsense doesn't make a difference anymore. Maybe I'm trying to make up for past sins but it's what I do now.[/b][/color]"
