[X] Seriously consider the offer, contingent on Zaia and Antonio agreeing to it also

[X] Reject the offer...for now.
-[X] "There is much to be said for having friends nearby, but settling the Fellowship here on Korman at this time would not be best for your rule or for those for whom we are responsible."
--[X] Go on to explain that, despite what aid we have provided in seeing Aina restored to her throne, the Fellowship remains strange to the Anwari, and the Anwari to Fellowship. Our ways are not theirs, and vice versa, and while the strangeness is hardly insurmountable, it's much more easily ignored in the short term rather than for seasons and years.
--[X] More importantly than a difference in cultures, however, is that Aina's rule is still a new and tenuous institution, despite her family's long history on Korman, and the upheavals of the past year have left much turmoil in their wake. She needs to be seen to rely on her own people, the lords of the land who were loyal to her when she had not yet secured her rule and those newly sworn, to bind them to her as her father did before her. If we remain on Korman for too long before she finds her footing, there are all too many who may believe it is we who rule through Aina, foreigners manipulating the Anwari in a manner not all together dissimilar from what the Anjo-oru tried.
--[X] That said, we are most certainly friends, and there is no reason we should not remain so for the remainder of our time upon the earth. We will return as often as is practical for men beholden to wind and wave and the vagaries of trade. When we are not so strange to one another and she is secure in her rule, then we might another tower among our friends on Korman.

[x] Perhaps in time… But not now.
-[x] We thank you for your offer, but alas, we have other duties elsewhere. Other friends to aid, other foes to fight, other battles to win, other things that we must do for the good of all.
-[x] Daemonic plots we already have seen, both here and in the far north, and whispers of the same from the south. There may still be more such plots that we have yet to uncover, festering in silence.
-[x] Perhaps in years to come we might be able to settle down here, but even now darkness lies on the horizon, and I can not, will not, stand aside and let it devour all before it.

-[X] Mostly because Korman is out here on the edge of the Atlantic and the known world, while Orinilu is right in the Mediterran and heart of a net of trade-routes and different policies. I don't want to cross the Mouth of the world and have a months-long journey every time something interesting happens outside my immediate vicinity
