Eil'lyn scoffed, when the drow said he had thought he might stay. "You were thrown in- You, a drow, one of a kind who has hardly kept their hands off our throats thought you might stay here?! Of course-" She demanded and was cut off from continuing. The scream was far too near, it was much to close. There had been assaults, raids of late but none so near the citys. She froze as the guard opened the door saying they had invaders, that the drow had begun tearing down their defenses. She nodded, saying she would be there momentarily. 

When the guard left, door still open Eil'lyn turned to the drow yelling at her from the floor. "Let's say I believe you, that you are here because you didn't want to be involved In the raids. One soldier doesn't change the outcome of a war. You say you can help, how?" She turned to the door, pulling a jangling set of keys from the wall. If there was a chance he could help she would take it. According to the guard, the drow had already done major damage and she had read into the unspoken fact if they survived this they would be greatly weakened. And if she was wrong..well one soldier doesn't change the outcome of a war, her death at his hands wouldn't doom anyone.
