[Nessani Kemenlo]

"My cousins are your children, father," she replied softly, still not looking directly at him as she moved to the seat. Nessani couldn't say what was making her reactions so muted today, but figured it had something to do with the melancholy of departure.

"The details are still being ironed out, I believe. She wishes an audience with the sultan before she'll settle them all - though what good blue gold is, save to spend, is beyond me. It is her money in this endeavor, though she has suggested I would profit from it for the help she's given."

Her chin rose until her eyes met his curiously, the sparkle of interest playing in their blue depths. Perhaps she had misinterpreted his inquiry, but she would ask nonetheless... "Are you suggesting you would consider being a partner to her in this? Assist her in getting started for a share in the profits?" It wasn't a subject that she could speak for Anora on, but Ness wanted to make certain she had understood him correctly before she brought any such ideas to Anora's attention.
