Sialillion smiles back at Ugul, returning the dwarf's icy glare for  
just a moment before returning her attention to the adventurers as  
though nothing had happened.

Sialillion looks around at the weaponry and other technology around  
her as if seeing it all for the first time.  Her look and slightly  
wrinkled nose betrays a momentary incredulity, a slight distaste.   
('Oh, THIS stuff'?)  Finally she replies, "Very well.   I shall await  
you outside."

"Your apologies are unnecessary, Cyberknight... we live in dangerous  
times, and many people are not what they seem.  You do rightly to be  
cautious.  You and your companions have little to fear from me,  
however... but I'm afraid I can give little more than my world."     
With that, she sweeps around to depart, her black cloak twirling  
around her body as she moves towards the door.

"Oh," she adds over her shoulder with a crooked half-smile,  "and a  
most pleasant day to you, Ugul."  She opens the door and a slight gust  
of cold air enters the shop.  As she steps out, she extends her right  
arm.  The crow perched on the rafter overhead flies up and then sweeps  
low over the shop,  coming within a few feet of Ugul's head then  
quickly flying out the door and landing elegantly on Sialillion's  
outstreched arm.  The door swings shut behind her.
