Mogui quickly looks to my hand before looking back to me with nervousness in his white eyes. The first real emotion I've seen since knowing him. He licks his lips and says "I will tell you after we put it away safely."
I pull my hand back and place the warm pearl against my chest, making them both reach out to me as I say "No, it's time for you to start telling me the truth. I've let you two pull me around long enough. I want to know what I just risked my life for."
Mogui lifts both hands as he says "Fine, just hold onto it carefully and don't drop it." He motions for me to seat and because I'm so tired, I silently walk over to the seat and sit down without any complaints.
