"Which clan are you from?" Saleen asked, completely steering the conversation away from the topic of prisoners. He had not meant to scare her earlier. He really did not wish to keep anyone as his prisoner. However, the fact that this girl had suddenly appeared at his harbor with more than a hundred people was not something which could be brushed off easily. Even if she was not out to get him, she must have had something to hide. This could actually be beneficial to me, Saleen thought.
Saleen had no desire to help this young lady unconditionally. To a mage, there was no such thing as a free lunch – everything came at a price.
