"Paul Atreides." Paul bows slightly to show respect. "I'm new here in the Nexus. I was told about you through Katiri. Or, rather, people who met her. They said you could tell me more about the Eliksni people. The only other sources I would have are Pelsor's clan and the Guardians. The first don't accept visitors - probably ones with questions most of all, I'd likely be mistaken for a spy - and the second are probably an unsympathetic source."
Paul pointedly avoids using the term "Fallen", especially in the presence of one. It's not hard to tell from the etymology of the word that it's not a compliment, even if he doesn't know exactly why they're called Fallen. It has implications, especially with the fact that they organize themselves into Houses.
