Saula regarded the vai, impressed by the fortitude it took to walk around with such looks as she must have that had her hiding under a veil with another vai who not only lacked such scars, but had the freedom to make herself look even nicer with makeup, and to ask for help making this other vai do so.
Actually, that made her make a connection between this vai and what she'd heard around town.
"You must be the vai that assisted Chief Riju by retrieving the Thunder Helm, yes? It's no wonder Captain Teake would wish you were part of her forces. Your strength of body seems only surpassed by your strength of character. There are far too many vai who would battle with jealousy too much to ask for this sort of help for a friend."
