"Filled with thoughts, if I'm being honest. Which I usually am." Her feet hardly made a sound as she walked closer. Whether that was from training as a performer or from something else was anyone's guess. "I'm honored that you would host me here. Now I know you did invite me, but keeping your word c...

So he was actually serious about inviting Nihira to his estate. Maybe Qasim did trust her enough not to case the place, though the guards were enough to discourage her even if she wanted to. It would be obvious if she was however, it was hard for Nihira to lie and her poker face was probably the wor...

Snip "Hmmm..." Nihira had to think about that last question. Maybe is she were one of her people's magic users she would know these things.
