Club's closed?  Well, that was bad news indeed.  No club meant no court, and no court meant that she couldn't even pretend to be a queen...  Or at least not the sort that had anything to do with royalty.  It seemed that Dante had a job of a different sort in mind for the princess now, however, and presumably this job was being extended to include all the various members of the little group that had sprung to action when the halfling woman died.  It didn't take a genius to figure out that he was probably getting them together to go out and figure out who was cutting up prostitutes in Firelight.<br/><br/>Which was why, when Lerissa noticed the human girl, Dieza, turning away from the rest of the group and heading over to the exits, she reached out and took hold of the girl's robe, if only to stop her for a brief exchange.<br/><br/>"I won't stop you from leaving if you want to, girl, but before you do, you may want to reconsider that decision."  She started out very calmly, repressing the urge to simply refer to the girl as a peasant.  In this situation, it wouldn't be very helpful.  She also spoke in very low, almost hushed tones, wanting to be discreet with this conversation.  "Consider:  Dante Boromar had requested your help, and is offering to compensate you for your trouble.  Now, unlike with the Artificer over there, you have no outstanding debt hanging over your head that could be used to force you to cooperate if truly feels that your assistance is necessary...  But if he truly feels that way, do you think that he'll let that stop him?  Additionally, he's just invited you into his office, a place where he can speak freely and truthfully without fear of being overheard."<br/><br/>Letting the girl go now, the Tiefling finished up her logical argument.<br/><br/>"Considering all these things, do you really think that you want to simply walk right out the doors, without even at least hearing the man out?  It's certainly not the choice I'd make...  But then, I'm not you."<br/><br/>And with her piece finished, she turned and followed Dante into his office.
