As Cheszeth sits down she makes a gesture in Divdor's direction.  He promptly begins to prepare a small stove with a kettle upon it, an oddly common looking sight after the oddness of the rest of the drow city.  The two drow seem jumpy and nervous, but coming in to this little room has clearly helped them somewhat.<br/><br/>Cheszeth places the leash to the side and straightens out her armor a bit as she is sitting.  Her harsh exterior slides a bit in this little task, though as her attention returns to the kitsune it returns.  "Yes, they are well trained, dangerous, and magically enhanced.  The Great Lady keeps them as pets, they are of a singular purpose.  Her protection," responds the drow in a confident voice, listing off facts for a superior officer perhaps.<br/><br/>Her brow knits deeply as Divdor brings three cups of tea over and places them before each of the gathered parties.  The tea has a similarly dark blue color to the wooden frames seen in the buildings, perhaps this is a trend of the flora below the ground.  She takes up the hot beverage and sips it gently, keeping her dark eyes on Yula.  "There are certainly many shadows to be had.  Yes, she has spies in all areas of life and we suspect wards of her own.  How she manages her information is beyond me, but there is no doubt that she has methods."<br/><br/>The drow pauses for a moment with a considering look on her face.  She then muses out, "Presenting a gift may not be the worst of plans.  There are certainly non-drow who live in this city, you needn't stay under lock and key at all times.  Few of your kind, but some humans.  Perhaps we could disguise you as a dignitary?"  She begins to tap her fingers on the table and adds, "The difficulty before was that Divdor and I were meant to be on duty.  Were we seen walking with someone freely it would have been an oddity.  But once brought into the city, there's nothing preventing you from going about as long as you don't get into trouble.  Getting into her presence or leaving will be the trouble."<br/><br/>At this point, she brings out a map of the fortress and begins to point at it with her white lacquered nails, "This is where we are, just west of the market.  This here north of the market is Nobles Way, it's a finer area of town.  Heavily guarded so mischief may be tough to manage.  At the end of that street is her palace, you doubtless saw it coming in, large spires, standing tall above the rest of the fortress.  It is guarded at all times, but if you went around the city...  See this door on the western wall?  It's a small one used by hunters and gatherers.  From there if you could get past the wall, you could perhaps climb up the side of the castle.  Her private rooms are... six floors up in this tower.  The orb, I imagine, would be kept near her, likely in a vault of some kind."
