"Excuse me." the White Lotus member said in response to Jalika correcting him.  "There's a situation in Republic City.  A rather urgent one, actually.  I suppose you could say I'm something like a talent scout, and the type of talent I'm looking for needs to be capable of handling danger.  Please don't take this the wrong way, but the Order has been... made aware that you fit the bill."  The order's representative paused to see how Jalika would take what he'd said.  He was clearly a bit anxious, but spoke clearly.  "I realize that's not exactly a thorough explanation, but please understand, there's only so much information I can give you.  I'm more than willing to answer any questions you may have, if you're interested."
