The Dark Tower - Level The Second
"Oh, is that what you were doing?" Leisha asks Aurion. "You could have asked."
She nods to Tesseryn. "If we need to. I like Hargrove and Sydni, mind, they're probably the most interesting people we've met down here - with no offense to Holomir or Omphalos, but, well, frankly, you expect them to talk. Nothing unusual there. So if we can avoid going to war with either of them, I'd prefer that. I'm beginning to think their quarrel is really more important to both of them than the diamond itself, so depriving them of it by `solving' the matter in any way may not be the favor I had initially thought."
She shrugs. "Sydni," she turns, nodding down the hall towards Sydni, and then turns back and nods the other way, "Hargrove. It's been a pleasure meeting you both. I do hope to see you again, and not only if our path brings us back down this hallway. Oh! One last question before I go, just.. out of curiosity. Would either of you accept an object of similar value or interest in exchange for your claim over the diamond?"
Walking slowly as she awaits her answer, she heads back towards Hargrove to rejoin the others wherever elsewhere might take them.
