"You would indeed," he said, removing one of his palms and balancing on the other, the muscle in his right arm straining from the effort of supporting his entire weight. "Even better," the assassin added, "I could pay you in a variety of forms. If you wanted money, then of course that would be an option, but there are other fees I could provide, such as slaves, magical items, or even the services of the guild in any personal pursuits you might wish to engage in."<br/><br/>Switching hands, he chuckled as he decided on how to answer Ursula's other question. He decided on simple honesty, which while unusual for a drow was probably the best way to cover this one. "Ursula," he said simply, "my people kill each other every day with less reason than a human might take another out for a meal," he said, smirking. "And the Ultrinnan Veldrin kill people as a form of everyday life. One such as you, that kills to survive, would not have to fear attack any more than another drow unless you provoked one."<br/><br/>The one thing Velve didn't mention was that "any more than another drow" was not much of a reassurance, because the guild was no different than any other aspect of drow society in that murder or the threat of it were the bread and butter of advancement. If anyone saw a profit in attacking Ursula, it would happen. He didn't know whether or not she understood that, but he would likely warn her if it seemed necessary; she would be of no use to him dead.... well, dead-er. <br/><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">She watched Velve as he played around upon the railing, her ears taking in everything he was saying. 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>
