[[summing up is fine, I'm likely to be in and out for the next little bit anyway.]]

Reshad isn't interested in getting people to do what they're not going to want or succeed at; as soon as Seyli shows that inattentiveness, she switches tack.

How would Seyli /prefer/ to disguise themself? After all, the idea of a false name and identity is to protect oneself in situations where the real ones are known.

This may not be that; the value of disguising it is minimal if that's true. She instead focuses on finding out Seyli's skills. Weapons skills may well be needed, and she'd like to learn more of them herself. Perhaps Seyli can demonstrate.
