Jin'li's head rose slowly as Croft spoke back, her voice entering his left ear via the pearl that connected him to all the collars. The miqo'te's onyx black eyes stared at the wall dully, his face devoid of any emotion as he spoke, his voice monotone, never once changing speed or pitch.
"Lady Croft, this humble slave owes you an apology. We were not aware that you had not been introduced to myself and my masters properly. Please forgive our rudeness. This slave is known as Jin'li, and I serve my masters most faithfully. Â I regret I was not able to meet you in person but matters prevented me from meeting youdirectly, thus why we dispatched our associate. We wish to assure that it was not for a desire to be rude or cowardly that this slave did not meet with you, he was simply unable to be in all the places I needed to be at the same time. We hope that this explanation is to satisfaction and you can understand. Now then, Lady Croft, you were chosen to have the honor of wearing that collar because of your reputation and position. Â You are said to be noble, righteous, kind, and a capable fighter. Someone we desired to aid us. You shall serve and be rewarded once my masters plans come to fruition. And my masters have informed me, you are to have a wonderfully important roll to play in the coming chaos. Does this please you Lady Crofte?"
