Bianca studied Nina for a bit before answering her.
"Mari truly is a sharp child. Her intuition is scary. But there's no need to be alarmed. My interest comes from the fact that you're the first Corsair to cross through these halls, the first Corsair to hear our story, and the first Corsair to accompany me to an unfamiliar star system. Its the fact that you're curious about us, that is why I am interested in you."
She took a sip of her wine before continuing.
"I guess my position would be, why are you so interested in us? As a steadfast Corsair I doubt you'll be willing to join our congregation, your allies on Crete would never allow it. Not that I don't welcome your curiosity. Since it could lead to a mutually beneficial friendship between us."
Bianca put the glass of wine down on the table before sitting back in the chair, crossing her legs and resting her head on her left hand against the chair's arm rest.
