"Mistress, you ordered me to report to the priestess Sui'aerl" the drow whose life she'd spared - for now - simpered. "Mistress, the two whom you said your torture personally?" asked the priestess. She looked somewhat disapointed, "After all, you did promise to torture these two personally." she sighed, somewhat saddened at not seeing her Mistress's expert torture skills put to use. Looking at the prostrate male, she walked over to him and kicked him. "Well, why are you still here? Since the mistress isn't going to torture these two, there is no point in you watching. Run along to Sui'aerl. And don't you dare think of fleeing." the prostrate male whimpered, "Yes Priestess!" and scurried off. The priestess motioned that a guard follow him. It wasn't necessary since the male went straight to Sui'aerl's chambers, and she allowed him to enter, then locked the door. What happened afterwards, the guard didn't know. Alliene wouldn't know until the following morning and probably wouldn't care anyway.
~~~Meanwhile, back in Alae's chambers...~~~
Arlyth looked up at his cousin happiness in his eyes. Once she'd let him in, he impusively embraced her. He sighed, and let her lead him further into her quarters. Sitting down on a couch, Arlyth leant against his cousin, his head on her shoulder. He sighed and whispered, "Alae... I really can't sleep... when Tagnik... gave me information, I could feel it at the back of my mind, sort of. Like another presence... over the last few hours... I felt it change... I can't feel it in the back of my mind anymore. Ah well..." he sighed and snuggled up against his cousin. "I don't like this place to much; the beds are nice and all... but... this place... I felt more at home in your home." he sighed and buried his head in her arms, "I miss Aunty Sylquis... I saw her for only a day, and then we had to leave." the young elf looked up at his cousin and whispered, "And well... I haven't been behaving as well as I ought..." he sighed again, "Sorry..." he said, dropping his head back into her arms. "I.. just... the Thri-kreen sparked out memories, and reopened old wounds and..." he sighed again and climbed into his cousin's lap.
