From what little she knew of the drow she knew that what he was saying was true, but that it could not be counted on every moment of every day.</span><br/> <br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">"Hmmm, well you will find that I am much harder to kill than one with blood pumping through their veins." Quick steps brought her out of snow and back to the rail. She leaned there and crossed her arms beneath the swell of her breasts.</span><br/> <br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">"Alright Velve...I will go with you, and see this guild of yours. However, I reserve the right to say no at any time." Just as she finished her sentence the door of the balcony opened and the slender woman came out onto the balcony.</span><br/> <br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">"Mistress, are you alright? You have been out here for quite some time and..." Ursula cut the girl off with just a look. Her voice was sweet when she spoke, but it was edged with something darker.</span><br/> <br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">"If I were to call for you I would expect you to come. However, I did not call. Take you leave of me child and go find something to eat. You will need your strength for the journey." Her eyes quickly moved back to Velve. "I will need her, or someone like her with me. Will this be a problem?" The doors closed and Ursula did not even look back at them, she could feel that her presence had left the balcony.</span><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Velve turned to look at Ursula, smiling softly before his eyes caught a quick glance at her chest.<em>Speaking of blood pumping,</em>the drow thought with amusement as he rolled smoothly off of the rail and onto his feet. "It makes you all the more suitable, Ursula," he said, nodding. "My people are not soft like those who live on the surface world. A strong assassin is needed for strong prey." Leaning back against the rail, he idly swung the end of his spiked chain around.<br/><br/>Velve was just about to respond to Ursula's acceptance of his proposal when they were interrupted by Ursula's strange tagalong. The drow wasn't entirely sure what she was for, precisely, but thinking about Ursula's stated diet, he could certainly guess. As the girl left, Velve cracked his neck. "Slaves are as much a form of currency as coin among my people," the drow said, shrugging. "I'm sure that we could find someone to fill whatever role she does for you.<br/><br/>"Which brings me to another point." Velve turned to look at the vampire seriously. "You say that you cannot be sure of this one's loyalties. Well, you're about to leave the world you live in to join an entirely different one, so perhaps whatever has kept you from allowing such a possible risk around has been made moot." He didn't come right out and say it, but when a drow assassin offers the removal of an obstacle, it doesn't take incredible reasoning to guess the approach he had in mind.<br/>
