* Eris then considers.  "Hmm...."
<Eris> Well, I think what will ultimately matter is the brain in your head.  If 
you can't beat them, let someone else do your fighting.
* Saldin smiles faintly, then stands. "I think you misunderstand my abilities, 
and my resources. How could whoever I might run into stand up to multiple squads 
of these SAB fighters?"
* Eris chuckles.  "Now you're making it sound like a challenge.  If you're not 
careful you may end up getting my help on this."
<Saldin> Then perhaps not being careful is a good idea.
* Saldin looks around, then back at Eris. "I believe I had better be going. 
Being here is no true guarantee of safety. There are things that are not guarded 
against."
<Saldin> (strike that extra that. Argh.)
* Eris smiles and stands.  "Well, perhaps you could return at some other time 
then."
<Saldin> Maybe. We will see where my feet take me.
* Saldin bows. "Thank you again."
* Eris returns it.
[Eris also drops her illusion revealing herself to be ten years, older, 
wingless, and human.]
* Saldin 's eyebrow raises slightly, and he stands there for a brief second.
* Saldin then turns and leaves, to who-knows-where!
* Eris smiles and then goes off to talk to the Maitre De.  She doesn't 
acknowledge his surprise.
