"In the darkness or not, there is much use for those whom believe that we serve them."
The whispers began to quickly rise and fall in her mind. Screaming for her loyalty and to strike down those around her for not believing in the Great Old One, for saying it only existed in the neither realm and doubting its existence. All of these were quickly quieted by the Dark Lady, a small smirk crossing her lips as she closed her eyes and became serene for a moment before opening her hues once more. Her hand returned to the tome that she had translated, running her fingers over the brown bound book as she turned to face her host once more.
Looking pass her for a moment she gazed upon the two whom she was addressing, taking a step forward as they seemed to bicker and toss words upon each other. It was cute really, almost like two children in a fit that began to throw out small insults upon one another. Stifling her own humorous chuckle at the exchange, she stood silently and awaited for what came next. Of course there was still the offer of becoming an apprentice and with that though meant more power and something greater. It couldn't hurt to have power, nor was she totally and completely against such an offer.
Allowing for the moment to pass, though as she had not entirely said no, she wanted to feel as if she had at least given a second thought to the offer. As Val'Ryss spoke to the others in the room she stepped back for a moment before she began to pace. It was if she was having a new conversation and it was beginning to spill over as she bickered with the whispers in her mind. Finally she stopped, taking a moment to compose herself as she ran her fingers over the long split skirt that hung off of her hips to straighten it out. Clearing her throat she turned back to Val'Ryss before approaching.
"If you wish for me to be your apprentice, I have a simple request."
Marmora spoke as she produced the small bound tome that she had translated. Her free hand took a gentle hold upon Val'Ryss and opened her hand so she could place the tome within her palm. Then as she placed the other hand on top she took a moment to compose her thoughts, to push away the whispers as she let out a soft sigh. Her eyes closed before she opened them again.
"You welcomed me to your home, allow me the same kindness. Travel to the world within the book. To where the ancient people lie and their ash covers their world. Find me there and I will gladly become your apprentice if you can aid me to conquering my own darkness."
A small smirk crossed the Dark Lady's lips as she stepped back before giving a slight bow. With that she felt that it was all that was left to be said. Now she merely needed to wait and see if Val'Ryss was sincere in her own offer of taking Marmora as an apprentice or if it was just a spur of the moment offer. If it was anything more then she could expect a new guest to her home of dust and ash.
