<strong>Name:</strong>Alzeggra<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Tivvum's Antiquities, Market Ward, Sigil<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Mid-morning<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Alzeggra, Peregrine<br/><br/>Alzeggra turned around to head out the doorway, only to notice the presence of an old woman blocking passage.  Silence was no longer useful in remaining undetected, but if she was dispatched quickly nobody else in the shop might notice.  No murder, of course, except in self-defense.  That would bring too much heat upon the Society.<br/><br/><em>Or maybe,</em>Alzeggra thought,<em>she knows more.</em><br/><br/>She removed a single recorder stone from her pockets, the one belonging to Nilassa, and held it up to the light of the room.  It pulsed in unison with the others, like tiny vibrations against the inside of her pockets.  The tips of her index and middle finger tapped against its smooth surface.  Were she a fellow dark elf, Alzeggra would communicate in the sign language of their people while keeping the silence spell up; most spells were verbally cast, and a noiseless environment provided a good 'neutral ground' when both parties could not trust the other (which is the default among the non-Ysgardian drow, or so she's heard).  But this woman was surely not an elf of any sort.  Reluctantly, Alzeggra dismissed the spell.<br/><br/>"These stones belong to the Society of Sensation," she said.<br/><br/>The old woman did not appear to be threatening.  She did not carry herself like an experienced warrior, as far as she could tell.  But she was perceptive enough to notice her movements, indicating a high level of perception.  Most movements of the shadows, even when noticed, are regarded as tricks of the mind or 'just the wind.'  But this shop was too high-profile, too full of rare and treasured secrets, to belong to an unassuming old woman.<br/><br/>"Recorder stones become inert when taken away from the Sensoriums," Alzeggra said as she walked a step closer towards Lu.  "This would decrease the demand of ones stolen and sold outside the Festhall.  And most of them are freely accessible to the public.  Their value as trinkets and antiquities would be quite low.  Why are they here?"
