N’Goteth looked at Nara with a meaningful twinkle in his eye, and Ylana was sure this signified more than she could ever have guessed.  The three of them sat together in N’Goteth’s living room, which was adorned in decorations so exotic that Ylana shouldn’t have noticed the subtle communications passing between her companions.

Nara gazed at Ylana, and placing a gentle hand on her trembling knee, added, “Orton truly can help you, but you must be devoted to the cause, because his help comes with a price.”
