"Oh, and where are my manners. Would you like something to drink?" Aira asked, as she poured him a cup of tea and offered it to him. "My I just warn you, corrupt runs deep in Guardia, but lucky, King Razhard is working on it." she said, smiling. "Though, may I ask, how much do you know about mana and Xi? And do you mind if I waste a bit more of your time with a little story. Xi isn't in the best of shapes right now, and Guardia's hands are full with other conflicts, which is way I am here to help end those conflicts so Xi can be restored to its former glory." she said.
