-Yes, from you,- he muttered, not very pleased.-We want you to do us a favour.
-This is interesting.- She walked over to the table and leaned against it with her back staring at the mage the whole time.-It must be something really important that you come to me with this. It probably also has something to do with the Dragon Council, because with any other problem you would have dealt with by yourselves much faster. It also follows that you don't have much time and you have to act almost immediately,- she pondered, still examining him with her eyes.- The question is, however, what will I get out of it, or would it not be more profitable for me to foil your plans and gain something from it myself?
-You're right, we're in a hurry and it has to do with the Dragon Council and I'll put out your enthusiasm right away. What we have in mind for you will not mean so much as to risk conflict with our army.-He said this in a rather indifferent tone, but he knew that if Gizel persisted she could nullify Othis's plan without considering the consequences.
-Let me judge for myself how much this will mean to me.- She stated with a wince.-If one thing can put someone in conflict with Atlantis it seems to me that something very valuable is at stake.
-Will you help us?- He asked not wanting to continue the verbal tussle.
-It depends on what is at stake and what I get in return.-She smiled sweetly, as she did years ago.-Say what are the stakes?
-High enough to risk.- He replied reluctantly. He himself was willing to tell her everything, but on condition that she promised to help them.-And as for your profit, we will be in your debt. And quite a large one I think.-He added bitterly.
-We both know perfectly well that I won't agree to anything blindly.- She looked at him more and more investigatively and suspiciously, but on the other hand her attitude betrayed a growing interest all the time.
