<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/9b/Yulafractae.jpg)</div><br/>Yula watches with some curiosity as Divdor, the lesser of the two drow, goes about the oddly<em>normal</em>routine of fixing tea. Perhaps she was expecting a stranger-looking container, or some strange brewing method. Regardless, out of the three of them, the kitsune seems to be the least nervous, even laid back or relaxed.  "Well, it's nice to see that your stone face can break, if only for a moment.  In any case, the fact that she's gone to such meticulous methods to create her own guards, aside from being mildly disturbing to some eyes, means that it's likely she is fearful of assassination in the first place. That plays in my favor, as I'm not making an attempt on her life."<br/><br/>She graciously accepts the tea, even bowing her head in respect before taking a sip of the deep blue liquid.  "The shadows I find will aid me greatly in this quest. They offer no particular resistance, and they seep into oh-so many places. As for the plan of presenting me as a dignitary, it does sound like the best bet. It would allow me to map an escape route, locate any guard points, and act as a pleasant little tour in the mean time.  I do know some of the noble ways, captain Cheszeth, so there is not nearly as large a gap to be crossed between my current state and that of a dignitary as you might think. Truly, the major obstacles would be getting through Nobles' Way, and getting into the vault itself, should it be located in such a thing.  The other issue I see is that the guards up on the stairs saw you leading me down in a much less friendly manner. If those guards were to report to the lady, there could be some difficulty. Furthermore, I cannot escape the way I came, as the pet lake monster destroyed the boat I was borrowing, the sore loser. I'll have to find another way out, in that case."
