Only if they want a contract written up. Ruli's expression softened. That sounded much easier to handle. No official title, more than adequate payment for the odd little tasks would help with. He'd never been fond of titles, even one as none threatening as court sorcerer. And this way he could avoid whatever awkwardness came with bedding the empress.
As Kire so tactlessly pointed out, it would be a short contract anyway. 

While he kept his head down, Ruli still went still as even Envy's head rose, sensing the sudden tension in the room. Kire's insistance that whatever she had brought up not be discussed. Envy turned his head from her to Ed, and then, shortly after, toward Narda, quite confused. 
Ruli chuckled low as Daryll asked about Myka. "[i]You certainly have the tact of someone who knows she has the final word.[/i]" He said low towards Kire. "[i]How ever will you get away with that, after?[/i]"
"[i]Enough.[/i]" Envy said warningly.
Ruli smirked, then looked around to Narda. "We have a lot of herbs for desert fevers that may help. Mix it with the leaves of a tree that grows in our desert, and it helps keep the drinker hydrated without tons of water ingestion. I'll bring some over to help."

"Something tells me you should go prepared." Envy suggested. "A charm to inhibit all visions."
Ruli frowned at the Kartaian. "But they are significant. I'm not going to avoid them."
"A Goddess, and one you're not fond of for good reason, is speaking to you. It isn't wise-"
"You don't think I should listen to whatever it is she has to say?"
Envy exhaled, sighing. "You cannot remember the last thing she said to you. I think thats a warning that she is not trying to ask you for tea."
Ruli pursed his lips and went back to eating. Behind them, a low, feminine chuckle announced Ysaryn's arrival. She'd redone her hair, now back in its usual tight plait, and her clothes were clean of all sand. "[i]Envy wins again.[/i]"
"[i]Who asked you?[/i]" Ruli grumbled, and she only laughed before pouring herself into a vacant seat and pulling heaps of food onto her plate.
