Tehr took the subtle note from his most trusted friend and servant.  There were things to be about all day and lusting after the women in his home was fine, but did little to accomplish his goals, of which there were many.  In fact after last night he was starting to feel almost worn down.  He'd make a note to have Angelique bring him plenty of tea and juice to his study while he worked on the plans for the house later.<br/><br/>"Angelique," he said as they dried off after the bath, "I have a question to ask of you."<br/><br/>He paused for a moment as he gathered his question and then spoke again, "Samuel ir'Staro and I spoke of something the other night at the ball.  He mentioned that I might find some value in seeking allies in the Understreet.  I know very little of it, save rumors I've heard.  That it refers to a loose collection of individuals, not even a group or a place, but more of a concept in a way.  That anything is available for a price, but that information is more valuable than gold.  Finally..."  He lowered his voice almost as if afraid to speak it, "...I've even heard that the dark skinned elves, those of white hair and black or dark purple skin, known as Drow might even have a heavy hand in how it's run."<br/><br/>He resumed speaking as he finished drying off, his voice again normal, "I thought that of all the people I know, the urchin boy Liam, might have the best idea on how someone like me might make contact with someone influential with that organization.   As you know I don't play the typical game of the houses where I refuse to associate with servants thinking I am above them.  If the understreet can help house Wynt, and the Queen, then I would explore that option.  But of course, I can not simply go to Liam and ask him to look around for me or make contacts for me... it would be too close.  However if you or Tera were to speak with the lad, let him know to carefully and without mentioning my name, make inquiries... well... I'd be glad to make sure some coin found it's way to his pockets upon my return from Ravos lands."<br/><br/>He pulled his dressing robe back on and looked at Angelique for response.  Barring any other unforeseen incidents, he would try to get some work done on the trinkets he was making for Emily d'Ravos today.  When the plans for the house came, he'd have to work on those of course.
