Imperial Sins (Evil)

[Fra Lippo]

Aztara

Aztara hears, but does not listen to anything beyond the priests words in Paduan and whatever she can pick up about some Abbadi. Let these animals kill themselves; but I need this gold, and the Imperial Army has forgotten me.
She talks to the priest, in Paduan again:"You are right, I do not trust you. You offer gold, which I do not see; you have access to knowledge, but how do I know you have the power and resources, beyond what you saw in your sleep?" It is clear, to anyone perceptive enough, that Aztara's outburst is more for reassurance than persuasion.
"I will need an advance, if we are to disguise it as a mob; and where can we find people willing to attack a Marukan?"; the Paduan's thin eyes slant a little more, and a smile reveals her sharpened teeth, at her own ingenuity.
