Still around the corner there may wait,  Eledhwen The elf wondered if it was wise to let the money lay on the table without one to keep an eye on the owner getting it, but she followed Zarud onto the streets once again. With her bag in hand she walked with him over the streets. Despite the fact she missed the surface, Eledhwen was curious to his house aswell.a new road or a secret gate.

Cloaked, Arachnae traveled the streets of the marketplace in search of one of her informants. Valatar still made her uneasy for many reasons and thus her efforts to learn more about him. She sought to learn of the other major players as well but, at this point she must know more of him.
Turning her thoughts away from the enigmatic half-drow, she found a seat at an inn and ordered ale. Death had never appeared too much more to her than another step of life till the new goddess showed up. Now, death terrified her because in death her spirit could be forced and used as well as her body. Violation of body in life was one thing but those violations... She shuddered at the thought. How could she be seen as anything good? There should be peace in death not a furtherment of life's struggles!

The Drow-lich assassin and Patron of House Quel'aran walked into the same inn and sat down at a table across the room form Arachnae. He was her eon his own business and ordered a glass of wine. Wrapping his skeletal hand around the delicate crystal stem, he took a long swig before setting the drink down, his good eye scanning the patrons out of habit and also keeping an lookout for Val'atar's spies.

"You know your digestive system isn't working," Zarud stood behind Reivan.

She'd felt the disturbance in the air and knew undead were here. She also left the power they trailed and followed it with her eyes to the two across the room. Taking note of them she looked elsewhere but nearby and then away. They would bear watching.
A drow male came in after a few minutes and found his way to her table. One of Patch's people. Seems there were some things he required and would she be so kind as to obtain them for him. They both knew she had no choice, so she nodded and glanced at the 'request'.
She sighed. Too late to go back now and undo things. she would simply have to find a way to get everything to him and until she gathered it all, Drethil would be staying with her as her guest.
As she still had someone to meet, she invited him to take his repast here and travel to her house without her or wait for her which could take a little time. He chose to take his dinner here and wait at another table out of courtesy.

Reivan chuckled, "I know, but it's a habit of mine." he took another sip. "Care to join me? I'm waiting for one of those contacts I mentioned back at the council meeting."

Her spy and ally sat with her after making sure things were safe and slid a note across to her. As Arachnae read the note, one eye brow rose and she looked at the young drow in askance. He nodded once and summoned a server. She slid a small pouch across the table to him while they drank in companionable silence.
Lack of action could kill as well as too much. The fact that there were several houses that sought Valatar's downfall was no surprise but that they also felt they could win against Valatar and those he chose as allies. Hmmm. He had many enemies. Arrogance? Yes, he had that. He had centuries of power, skill and battle behind him as well. She smiled to herself. You never quite knew where you stood with him. It kept people off balance.
Looking sharply at her companion she spoke but one word.
"More."
She rose and joined her other companion at his table. She needed more information.

Reivan glanced up at the small gathering across the room watching their actions with an eye trained by years of survival in the tunnels. "If you'll excuse me a moment Zarud." He left word for his contact then followed her spy out and kept his distance using the shadows to avoid detection.

Zarud watched as Reivan left "By the looks of his hand I'd say he has a month before his body dicomposes."

Reivan The Drow Reivan glanced up at the small gathering across the room watching their actions with an eye trained by years of survival in the tunnels. "If you'll excuse me a moment Zarud." He left word for his contact then followed her spy out and kept his distance using the shadows to avoid detection.
Arachnae watched Reivan with amusement as he slipped away after her spy. Did he really think he could track all her people? He was but one of many and all very skilled. Ah well. He would learn and she would continue to gather information.
She nodded to Zarud in acknowledgement of his presence and rose with her companion. A few steps from the table she was met by a youth from her house informing her that Dmitri had arrived and had placed himself in her home. Flames of rage flickered in her eyes briefly before she hid them. One must ever look calm and in control. With a simple and muted wave of dismissal the youth ran home.
Drethil raised an eyebrow in askance but said nothing. Shaking her head she headed away from the inn, her footsteps turned toward home.

Reivan eventually cornered the spy in a side street and after a very brief skirmish pinned him against a wall, "Hello there, I have need of your service, if you refuse you may find yourself in a much worse condition than I am in." he said with a relaxed smile, "I want to arrange a meeting with your matron but it's too risky to do it myself, so you, my stealthy friend are going to arrange the meeting for me, agreed?" Before he could answer Reivan tossed the male aside, "I expect results by tomorrow."

"I just wanted to say that If you ever need a new limb, I can clone you one, just stop by house Kiltlar. And here," he tossed a strange clockwork device over to Reivan.

Rising, the young man spat his answer at Reivan.
"My matron is still within sight. See her yourself if it is that imprtant. I have work to do and am not employed by you."
This said he slips quickly blending seamlessly into the darkness and leaving the two to their own devices.
