*Shadi felt taken aback, and hoped she didn't look it. What was he asking? Her mind and heart raced, but in different time.*
"The world has nothing to give me," *she said darkly.* "But I fear I must repeat you--what's in it for me?"

*Nadir grinned and raised his hands as if that were evident.* "My experience, of course," *he said smoothly, laughing slightly.* "Isn't that what you wanted?" *He stood up like a great sleek jungle cat uncoiling after a languid afternoon nap and towered over her for a moment.* "Any experience has it's price, bijou," *he said quietly, almost sadly.* "You must ask yourself if it is worth it."

((Nadir is such a bada$$))
*Shadi swallowed, both nervous and strangely excited. She'd lived her life on the edge, as it were; she'd seen too much to expect she'd ever be really happy, except as far as her general bouncy nature would have it. What difference did it make? She'd come here to find a father and found adventure; but adventure ended, and she had nothing else planned. She could hardly pick pockets and slink through windows her entire life.
She rose slowly, drawing herself up to stand before him, though he seemed just as large as when she'd been seated.*
"I'm willing to find out."

*Nadir felt a sudden and ominous tightening within him. Even so, he held out his hand to her.* "Come with me, then..." *he said quietly.*

*She took his hand. It was cool and firm around hers, and she felt little shocks of excitment and warning and strangeness. But she'd decided--whatever it was.
Not that she trusted him, of course.*

*Nadir led her from the room, leaving it empty.*
