Pepper (though to Arden everyone looks about the same as they're still in their disguises) seems about to say something when Ifriti taps her on the shoulder and whispers into her ear, "I know this kid. He was a student at the academy but had to drop out due to lack of funds. He was a good student. I'm not sure what he's doing here though. For now I'll let you do the talking since if I speak he might recognize my voice."

After the hushed whispering of the whisper, Pepper takes a few steps closer to Arden and says, "A Whisper as they call it here? Ok. And why do you want to join us?"
