"The rules of the drow have not changed in so short a time. If it were a lesser house invoking the right on another lesser house, the council would pay it no heed. However, this is a former First House invoking the right on the current First House. My House." She placed her fists on a desk in front of her and leaned toward Sylquis, "The only way a noble of their would live is if they were absent from the house when we destroyed it." Her voice became tight, reminding the cleric of the Matron she had Tyra had lived in fear of, "This is a serious matter, and I will not stand idly by and let this pathetic noble take my House down. I will find this fool and spill his blood with my bare hands." The last sentence was said in a deadly whisper, a fierce vow. Sylquiste knew well what Alliene had done to Calaethis all those years ago-tortured him nearly to death, having that twisted drow pleasure at the sight of his blood.

Alliene straightened and walked to one of the tall windows, staring out at the starry sky. Alaerth frowned and got up, crossing the room to her and laying a hand on her shoulder. Alliene started, then relaxed. She patted Alaerth's hand in thanks and turned back to Sylquis, her cold eyes hard,
"I am aware that this child is not the fool I know his father to be. I have not laid a hand on him, and do not plan to. But if he does get in my way, and you are not there to move him, I will teach him to stay out of my way. I hope we are clear on this, for there are more important things to talk about."
