It is! This is my stateroom on the Scarlet Marpenoth and those are my harp and harpsichord and that is my trunk and if we open up the closet, there should be some rather splendid wine to share! Would you like to?

[He'll just take his place on the hammock first, before any wine is fetched.]

[desirestruth]

Oh, I don't drink...wine.

[She smirks a little, at her own private joke. And, come to think of it, sitting close to her might make something noticeable--she's...room temperature. Paler than she was in the ballroom.]

Scarlet...Marpenoth, is it? It's quite a remarkable place.

[nevercaught]

[It is interesting. He notes it, but doesn't say anything just yet.]

She is! I commissioned her at great expense from a team of gnomish engineers.

[desirestruth]

...Gnomish?

[What...is a gnome.

As she's holding her Riolu, her temperature does warm up--pokemon are generally warm-blooded, one must assume, and he's very wiggly.]

[nevercaught]

Of the race of gnomes.

[desirestruth]

...What is a gnome?

[nevercaught]

Small fellows, about the size of a halfling, but more inclined to growing facial hair? They also have darkvision.

[desirestruth]

...I do not believe we have either of those where I come from.

[Jarlaxle your world is WILD.]

Darkvision...ah, eyes designed to see in the dark? I suppose it's common in your world, to have a specific name?

[nevercaught]

Well, we have multiple subterranean races, so yes, it's common enough.

[desirestruth]

...Well, that would follow. I am...guessing you mean something more established than burrows?

[nevercaught]

Ah no, drow have not lived in shallow caves since the high elves pushed us down into the Underdark. Which depending on historical sources was either two-thousand or ten thousand years ago. For much of my life I was told the second, but now it seems like the first might be true, which meant it was within my mother's living memory... if none others. Our race often does not live much longer than seven or eight centuries and drow elves in particular are likely to die by murder or misadventure during our first.

[desirestruth]

...And I had thought I was long-lived.

[She is processing the other information, and sighs, almost a little too strongly, putting a show of her shock.]

Your mother had a great influence in the very shape of your world, then.

[nevercaught]

Of my city of birth, at least. From what I know of it, it seems that she was full young when she came to Menzoberranzan. I know little as to if she had time to make any impact on things on the Surface.

[desirestruth]

I've never known the ambitious to not leave a path in their wake. But two thousand years on....that's a hard trail to follow.

[nevercaught]

Oh yes. And from what I can tell, much of the history of the high elves that once drove us underground is propaganda—as is, of course, our own.

[desirestruth]

And, I imagine, anyone who remembered things differently was swiftly disposed of...

[She sighs a little.] I suppose to hope it would have gone otherwise is to hope for a miracle.
