"And<em>I</em>don't appreciate demons taking Waterdeep prostitutes - who are more than 'undesirables' in this society - for their own ends and calling me a 'child'." she said with a flash of fury in her eyes, the type of flash that would make most mortal men and women shit themselves in fear, though it was gone after a moment "That said, it's for your own good; that 'pious fool' has friends, and if he's a smart pious fool, he'll tell people where he's going, or get<em>friends</em>to come with him... eventually I'll have no choice but to intervene if the body count or disappearance-count gets high enough, otherwise I lose my face in this society, and I can't have that."<br/><br/>She shifted again, if only slightly so they were more comfortably intimately close.<br/><br/>"Believe me, this is your best bet if you want to be here at all; mortals<em>loathe</em>demons by and large and to us you're despicable creatures of the Abyss to be slain on sight..." she said, again with pure honesty "But with what I've seen thus far... I'm inclined to give you a chance, as half of my bloodline has a similar stigma, and thus so do I, being hated and feared for 'drow' blood.  I've run this course before; you show them you're not<em>anything</em>like they think you are for long enough, eventually they'll come around... and believe me, there are ways of defeating people that you do not have to grievously harm them to do, even if it's self-defense on your part... now do you see where I'm coming from?"
