"Best not to delve much into that either," she said, "If you're thinking of petitioning her or some such. Don't. Folk don't go up and talk to her, or if they do... well... like I said, best not delve much into it. Even the fancy nobles who live in these here estates don't get to talk to her."

He nods to the drows words about her bodyguard but made no further comment.

"The Lady of Pain." He says simply "She is the ruler of Sigil, some say she is sigil." His deep voice intones "I too grew up here, in the lower wards. I have seen the Lady only a handful of times."

"Oh, the Foundry's a place you can't miss once you head into the lower ward. It's where my faction keeps its headquarters in Sigil. Hardest of work for anyone that signs up, but that's just a lesson along the path. See, our philosophy's that existence is a test. You ascend or descend the great wheel based on the lessons you've learned in your lives. But the point, of course, is to ascend. To become a Power, and then to rise even beyond that. That's the whole purpose of the multiverse, for everyone to ascend out of it, eventually. So, that in mind, we're the sort of folk who seek the sort of experiences that challenge us further along the process. And if we can help a few sods along the way to do the same, well, all the better."

She shrugged. "That's the basic gist of it, anyhow. If you want the *funnest* place, though. Well, that'd probably be a place like the Civic Festhall. That's where the Society of Sensation makes their kip. I was almost a Sensate, you know. They're good fun, but in the end I figured they had the right idea but weren't quite there. Hedonism all the time seems like it might be a bit too much, you know?"

"And yep, for sure I was born here. Well, not *here* in the Lady's Ward. Bit too fancy here. You'll find uh, most of the Cage isn't quite this well-kept and clean."
"Oh." Illiam stares at Sings, wide-eyed, as she listens. "...hedonism..?" That raises an eyebrow as she looks to Desten. Does she really look like a hedonist?

But!

She'll go to the Civic Festhall later! That's something to look forward to! Illi bounces in place. "Oooh, so this is the fancy part of town, then? Oh -- who's the Lady of the Lady's Ward?"

"Arrows? Yeah, I heard some of the Hive folk take shots at the people jumping off the side sometimes. Nasty business. As for the Wayferer, huh, not where I was heading, but if your friend knows how to get there then sure, s'fine place to meet. Supposed to be a portal entrance to there somewhere 'round this ward too. It's got several. Didn't think there's one in the Hive, though I know there's one over in the Lower Ward, in Farhome."

"Don't know where the portal to the inn is located 'round this ward," She cast a glance toward Desten, wondering if perhaps he knew, "But Lower Ward's on my way over to where I'm performing so I could take you that far at least. S'ides, I was gonna make a quick stop by the Foundry anyway."
The drow woman, already pale, pales further. Oh Quevlin'e, how did you manage to land yourself there of all places? Her stomach sours at the thought, and suddenly, Illiam looks rather sick. Quickly she casts the spell one last time, and, upon its answer, grimaces. Dumbass. "I appreciate the help. Thank you, Lady Sings."

"I rarely utilize portals unless it is an emergency. But I know where this inn is I would be happy to escort you to your friend. I assume they can take care of themself?"
"He's my bodyguard," She mumbles as she hides her face with her bag. "Your armor reminds me of his. S'why I thought you were him when I woke up. I think he'll be okay... if he has enough sense not to pick any fights..." Illiam sighs. He does not have that kind of common sense. For as much as Quev's her bodyguard, she's his babysitter.

"What's the Foundry? Where are you going?" She peeks at the two of them from over the bag in her arms. Time to focus on the here and now. Gotta get where you gotta be, Illiam'iira! No thinking about the past! She does her best to put on a big smile. She slings the bag over her shoulder and perks up. "What're the funnest places in the city? Were you both born here?"

He nodded to the drow but shook his head at Sings "I rarely utilize portals unless it is an emergency. But I know where this inn is I would be happy to escort you to your friend. I assume they can take care of themself?"

Sings looks about in thought for a moment.

"If you mean a faction there are none devoted to specific religions, though due to members sharing outlook and belief many members may share a deity. Though for a faction that would align with The Lady of the Dance the..sensates may align well with your interests if you are a performer, or seek out members of the Free League though they are barely a faction truely."

"The Hive is certainly no place for a newcomer. I will happily assist you in retrieving your friend."
Illi balks a little, seemingly unsure of that -- but she'll find out more later. There's time. There's always time. "Thank you, I would really, REALLY appreciate it."

"Ain't no cliffs around I know of," she said with a shrug, "unless they're talking of suicide alley, in which case s'precisely the ward I was heading to. Listen, if that's where your friend is, he's liable to get 'imself in a heap o'trouble. Hive's no place for a clueless primer to go trapsing about. Ah, hells. If that's the case you might want to tag along with me after all, and tell your friend to meet us in the tavern I'm performing in. Can't promise no robbings, but if you stay close enough t'me folk might not bother you as much, and might be I can get you room and board there if just for the night, 'fore you land yourself on your feet somewhere better that is."

Another shrug and a smirk, "Can't rightly say I'm as famous as could be, but I got a bit of a name to me. And I *am* a factotum with the Godsmen, folk usually like us well enough, even down in the Hive."

"If not there, well, I'd say there's a few kips you could make in the market ward with a good voice to you. Personally I'm staying at Chirper's, don't ask me how or why, place's a tourist trap, but it's probably outside your price range right now. But there's a few places 'round there that might work for you. Could be a bit harder to find your friend 'round there, though. He'll stick out more over where I think he might be then the Bazaar."
Godsmen... something to ask later... right now, "Oooh that doesn't sound good. Do people shoot arrows down there? He said they shot arrows. Uh." It's at this point she pulls up her brooch to again cast the Sending spell; she perks at the response, whole body tensing up, which makes Illi wince. All this talking is making her throat and lungs hurt and her head feel fuzzier than it already was. "...he says he's there. He wants to meet at the Ubiquitous Wayfarer Inn? Is that a good one?"

"If you mean a faction there are none devoted to specific religions, though due to members sharing outlook and belief many members may share a deity." He took whatever she handed him silently easily holding it and with a possibly surprising amount of care. He looks to Sings and nods at her explanation of things it was quite a complicated subject and not one that needed to be delved into deeply right at this moment. "Though for a faction that would align with The Lady of the Dance the..sensates may align well with your interests if you are a performer, or seek out members of the Free League though they are barely a faction truely." He mused

"Most any of the inns here in the Lady's Ward or the Market would be more reputable though as she says unfortunately no place is one hundred percent safe no matter how hard we try to make it so. Though while I am here I do promise to ensure no further misfortune befalls you until you are somewhere safe or reunited with this friend of yours."

"The Hive is certainly no place for a newcomer. I will happily assist you in retrieving your friend."
