"Sybil?"  Dalious knew it was her now.  

"Vampires?" Armuille said, giving Ardenelle a stern look.  The elf girl shrugged.  "You said werebeasts!  Vampires is another matter entirely!"

"I said it might be werewolves, or something like that!" Ardenelle said and snarled her nose at the black cat.  "What does it matter?  They all come from hell."

"It matters because they are completely different to prepare for!" Armuille snarled back.  "I must have access to the elves library at once!"

"Sybil, it is you," Dalious said.  "I thought you might have died.  You ended up doing quite well for yourself I see, no more men trying to hang you.  I'm glad you made it out fine, if I remember correctly, you ditched me!  If you wanted to sail to the elves kingdom, you had but to ask.

"Also, your grace, may I request Sybil in joining us?  Vampires are no easy matter, and if i remember correctly..."  He had the image of all the imperials she burned alive in his head. "And I do...she could prove to be quite useful.  Especially with the whole closing the hellmouth bit."
