Zanipher was quiet for some time, pondering the implications of what Neil said. Ever since its founding and subsequent naming, the organizations she represented were the Nine Dragons of Vale, not the 'Eight Dragons of Vale and One Dragon of Vacuo'. That last one just didn't have quite the same ring to it. Then again, their overly enthusiastic founder had come up with the name on a whim, before he'd even located nine suitable members. So was it fair to tie down Neil just because of a fancy preordained title?

"... It would be most convenient if you came to Vale with us," Zanipher began slowly. "That way we can gather quickly if necessary, and offer you and your organization the full extent of our benefits. If you're stationed in Vacuo, we won't be able to protect you as well as we could if you were in Vale. We do have branches in the other three kingdoms," Zanipher admitted, "but on a much smaller scale than our HQ, Vale."

Zanipher had a thought.

"What exactly is this conflict of interest? We may be able to sort it out if it's over location of assets."

She was excited that it seemed they were finally reaching the first glimpses of a deal. The rounding out of the Nine Dragons for the first time ever was no small moment, so she was understandably excited at the prospect of being the one who successfully cinched the membership of the nine Heads.
