Ilesha couldn't do anything for her. She could pay her but Ilesha was certain that Oriena didn't want money for knowledge - favors in return seemed more her game - or blackmail. "I'm just a mechanic, I doubt you have any need for my skills."
Though in reality Ilesha was more than just anything. She had a degree in Mechanical Engineering - top of her class. She had a bright future ahead of her or so they had always told her in the career office - all her teachers. But all she wanted to do was fix things - maybe make something grand that everyone would one day use.
But none of that meant little to the owner of a strip club. Ilesha played with the ring in the palm of her hand. It was an absent minded move as she rolled the metal ring in her hand.
The warning came much like the one Ascendancy had issued but this was one with more information - a snake biting it's own tail. Tattoos were common among her clients - she wondered if she'd ever seen any. She blinked her eyes. "I wouldn't even know what questions to ask."
All the prior thoughts of things she wanted to know seemed to jump out of her head. It wasn't that she forgot, or didn't know how to phrase it. They just weren't fully formed. There was a lack of knowledge and Ilesha knew it - but she had no idea where to even start. "And I wouldn't want to waist your time while I tried to find them."
Ilesha smiled to say she didn't mean any offense. She turned to her drink sitting on the bar and watched Raffe down at the other end with another smile. "I have nothing to offer you for your knowledge however specific I could get anyway."
