The tiefling sits up in bed and brushes her hair back away from her face again, peering at Ylene.  "You're the drow slave."  She rubs the corner of one of her eyes and blinks sleepily.  "Ok, I'm waking up, forgive me, I only went to sleep uh..."  She looks at the window with the morning sunlight held off by the imposing north wall and shrugs, "... recently?"<br/><br/>"I remember, you're the drow I thought must have been the killer when I read the knife, hang on."  She gets out of bed and says, "Forgive me I don't mean to say that I thought... oh... god... words.  ugh."<br/><br/>She moves to the closet, her tail swishing back and forth in what looks like an irritated fashion, the cleft of one butt cheek being exposed each time the tail swishes in that direction.  "Here," she says bending down inside the closet, presenting an even better view of her shapely rump and only the barest hint of the vaginal cleft below, with dark curly hair between her thighs before she stands and straightens up.  Turning around she moves back to sit on the edge of the bed and shows Ylene the dagger.  "I speak 8 different languages fluently and five others with passing familiarity.  None of the drow wizards at the academy had much training with undercommon, or at least not as much as I did."<br/><br/>She points to the engraving on the hilt of the dagger and then hands it to Ylene, "See here?  It says "property of house Teken'urden"  Which is what I told the guard, and why they arrested you.  I didn't accuse you of anything, I just translated the dagger.  I heard later that you had absolutely nothing to do with it, and were actually seen by dozens of people at the time, so it couldn't have been you.  But you can see from the inscription why you'd be the first suspect."<br/><br/>Of course, Ylene had never seen the dagger before in her life, nor would she carry or use one with a spider symbol on it.  Nor would anyone in her family or her clan.  Further there was no  'house Teken'urden' at all.  Even more to the point, the wording on the dagger didn't say  "property of house Teken'urden."  The syntax and grammar were different in undercommon then they were in common, a 'house' as it was written in the dagger didn't refer to drow noble houses, but an actual physical structure only used by surface dwellers.  So the actual translation was much closer to   "This dagger owns a place where surface dwellers that should be raped and stolen from named Urden of Teken."   Which of course, made no sense.   Whoever inscribed the dagger was someone who knew a little bit of undercommon and was trying to create a forgery.<br/><br/>Hailton pointed at the blade and said, "Notice too, the blade looks like it's supposed to be that strange black underdark metal that the evil drow use?  But it's not, it's cold iron with a high fire glaze on top to give the illusion.  Once I figured that out, I let the guardsmen know, because it meant the blade is suspect.  But I guess you'd already been released at that point."
