It's a word that only goes so far, Nephry. [In the end, people were people more than anything else. Everyone had a price.]
And I'm not so sure. I don't want her to feel suspicious about your intentions. [And if something really is wrong with Shayera, he'll have to keep it from Nephry.]
Very well. [He rubs at the bridge of his nose for a moment.] If it's of your own volition, I suppose that there's nothing I can do about it. Just be sure to run it through a secretary. [And he'll do what he can to prevent an actual appointment from being made.]
Jade, please. I don't need a secretary in order to have lunch with my sister-in-law. [Her hands half-steeple again.] Your desire to keep turning me aside from seeing her implies that something is really wrong.
