He had not been aware of her leaving the sanctuary of Vjun durring his absence, and it would be just as well for him to leave her here to die... He paced up to her, his mind touching lightly onto hers.

The bond slipped away as Jeseth let out a shallow sigh.

"I wish to bargain for her life. She is of great value to me for the moment."
