Zanipher pursed her lips as she considered Diaboli's offer. It was great that he had a potential one-day excursion planned out.

"Sure, I'll walk with you," Zan replied, following Diaboli when he began heading towards his home. She was curious about the way he did interior decoration, as an individual's dwelling was usually set up in such a way that it maximized the owner's unique personal comfort. Her own suite back in urban Vale favored minimalism and sleek modern appliances.

As for a longer term commitment, Zanipher wasn't so sure. It wasn't good to be away from her family for too long, and taking off for an extended stay in the most crime-infested kingdom of the world to provide assistance to a mob boss who was responsible for the deaths of numerous Syndicate members... well, it wouldn't fly. Her associates would be on top of her as soon as they found out.

"Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to take you up on the long-term offer. People would notice if I'm away for so long." Zanipher smiled again, but this time it was a sardonic, humorless one.

"As a Dragon, there are certain responsibilities I can't avoid. First and foremost being loyal to my family above all else."

She took a long pause.

"Sorry," she apologized simply. "I wish you the best."

Zan blinked a couple times to pull herself out of her melancholy, and when she spoke again her tone had resumed its normal, teasing tone. She clasped her hands behind her and leaned forward to tilt her head at Diaboli.

"Think you can tell me a little about what this grand challenge of your is? And what's this talk of a sponsor? You never struck me as a guy who took orders from others."

(Zan's going to be involved in Scales after this RP to settle the feud between Fen and Automne. I tried to give a logical explanation for why she can't participate, despite being intrigued)
