"You are very benevolent indeed then."
*Genghis regarded her for a moment, then continued plainly.*
"If you are in need of resources, I can provide for you. I would do my best not to abuse your good will in return."

"Resources? Like what?" *she drummed her fingers on the tabletop.* "I get my room and board here, in return for cooking and some light cleaning. It's not too bad."

*Genghis pursed his lips and leaned towards her slightly, lowering his voice.*
"I do not claim to know what would please you, but if you would tell me of it, I will acquire it for you. And you will never have to wait on others. You will have servants of your own."

*She was definately a difficult one. Genghis was most confused.*
"You have never wanted more?"
*It was unfathomable to a conqueror like himself.*

*Genghis pressed gently.*
"But I offer you more. You have but to take it. Why do you deny yourself pleasure?"

*Emily stood abruptly, a sudden fear sparking in her gaze.*
"What are you saying?"

*Genghis was confused by the sudden fear in her eyes. He stood slowly, acting out of respect, his head lowered reverently.*
"I mean no disrespect. I only want to prove what I might to offer you more from this life."

"I have no need of money. But thank you anyway."

*Genghis had the strangest expression. He looked vaguely like a kicked puppy that had been left out in the rain. He just couldn't understand. His voice was almost...unsure.*
"There is nothing that I have...that you want?"

*Emily turned to look at him solemnly for a moment, then she smiled, but sadly.*
"Nothing you could give me."
*She shook her head and turned back to the dishes.*
"I know you well enough, Mister Khan."

*Genghis was saddened, but also intrigued.*
"So there is something. But I cannot provide it?"

*Emily swirled the soapy dishcloth around a plate with a sigh.*
"Of course there's something. And I don't think you're capable of it."
