"...don't...<em>ever</em>call me a slave girl again." she said, so calm it was almost eerie, somehow more threat to her tone than before "I will only ever serve but one woman; I am slave no more, and I know more than you think about how this city works, mage."<br/><br/>She<em>had</em>after all written the infamous 'Blue Book' after all; a reference for all of the vices, brothels, and seedy elements of the city, she'd lived here for ten of it's twenty years, and her Mistress was very much aware of Academy politics...<br/><br/>"And the reason you should let me go is because unlike you<em>I have a lead</em>." she stated, before reaching up and putting two fingers to the woman's sternum, pushing her back gently to get her out of her face "A vision last night or this morning, Eilistraee and Shoni both spoke to me.  I know why my Mistress was killed, and it's what led me to seek out the dagger this morning when I recalled what it looked like, and wanted to confirm the writing on it.  Figured since they helped me get to here I might as well try the divine options since so far the arcane hasn't proved fruitful.  That a good enough reason for you now?"
