VICONIA (looks at Velkin somewhat less hostilly than is her wont)True, Velkin, my mother is dead, and my brother a Drider, but how about my sisters? Wouldn't some of them likely still be alive? I had fourteen, and though I (looks sidelong at Galadria), er, accidentally killed one of them, as I told Attalus, long ago. I know really nothing of the current state of House DeVir.
ATTALUS (looks ashamed) Uh, Vicky, I never told you , because I thought it might cause you grief, but Drizzt Do'Urden told me, when we met him that time, that his own House Do'Urden destroyed House DeVir the night that he was born. He recognized your name, when you introduced yourself, and told me later, privately. I'm sorry that I kept that from you, but now, I guess, it's all for the best."
VICONIA(she is stricken with a strange mixture of relief and grief)(pats Attalus on the arm) "Never mind, Attalus, I'm sure you thought it in my best interests."
