So you know, then; at least you know enough to recognize... [ She hesitates for a moment before continuing. ] You recognize what we are. [ At least, they recognize what Clive is, but she feels as though she can hardly reveal Clive's secret while concealing hers. To do so would be cowardly in her mind. ]

I expected that you would inform whoever it is you answer to about us. [ She eyes Phya with some level of apprehension, but there is resignation to it as well. Still, if she intends to not inform on them, even if it is only temporarily, Jill intends to take it for what it's worth.

She opens her mouth to say something more, but they are interrupted by the sudden slamming open of the door. Jill jumps a little herself, not managing to stop herself in time.

At the mention of the Lord Commander's arrival, Jill straightens herself up as much as she can, while still remaining as close to Clive as she dares. She is not about to abandon him, even if danger or death is what awaits them both. Who knows what this Lord Commander wants or intends? Part of her reasons that he must not be a cruel sort, or the feeling in the room would be far more tense than it is, but she does not know these people nor their intentions, and that is what makes her wary. ]
