The Seeker started to slip across the landing to the sister staircase to the one everyone else was at while Jaques talked. Life would be so much simpler with Eristan and he had promised her so many things back when he came to select her. He selected -her-. Every time and even above his own wife. And now he was here selecting her again and all she had to do was keep pleasing him in the ways she had always done so. She starts down the opposite staircase as Jaques had now actively given her permission to do so. Mostly.
S'kyla sees Jaques tense as she continues on her way the anger that always seemed to lurk just beneath the surface now much more thinly veiled. She grows somewhat hesitant. He was the master now and he really -didn't- seem to want her to go. She swallows as she sees him start talking again, surely now he'd forbid her to go, showing that she really wasn't as free as he'd been claiming these last several moons.
"... There is a third choice. You could invite him here and as long as he had an invitation from you, he'd be free to come see you. And since he seems so eager to pay... you could even charge him for your services as you once did. All the gil going directly to you. But... even seeing him freely is an option. You don't need to leave with him to see him."
She pauses once again, about halfway down the opposite staircase, her gaze turns towards Eristan as she considers the words. This place had always been home. If she left she had no idea how to return and there were people she cared about still here...
