Adyr wondered if he should ask for both, torn between two choices.
He was fairly sure that, if he asked, the Wanderer Merchant would not refuse. For the Merchant, a debt-backed connection with an Elder Race was probably far more valuable than a Rank 4 Spark.
Yet Adyr chose not to ask. He would not look like a beggar. He had to act high and mighty, in line with the image he had already built.
There was another practical reason he did not do it. Even if he obtained 2 Sparks, there was no way he could house and feed 3 Rank 4 Sparks right now, especially with the space constraints inside his Sanctuary.
At last, he made his decision. "I will take Citadelith."
Montar would have been a good buff to his attack palette, but he felt he needed to increase his survivability for what was coming in his next plans.
He needed it especially because he would soon move to Pacthold and from there to the Midlands, where Rank 5 Adept was just a starting point and Rank 4 was simply the norm.
