Disclaimer: I do not own any of the char. Except Akordia. They belong to
RA Salvatore.
I love to read his books and my writing means no infringement.
Author's notes: This is set in FR and is a somewhat confused relationship between a well know Char. Artemis Entreri and an OC. I am not sure of the timeline; it is after "The Sea of Swords" I will not pretend to know everything about the world so please understand

"Follow us back to the clearing we can talk there." Jarlaxle asked with a calm and soothing tone.
He knew that he needed to be as calm and gentle as possible with this girl, Artemis wanted the girls help but to what end Jarlaxle was not sure; all he did know was Artemis was angry when he learned that Drizzt was not dead. He vowed that he would kill that drow if it were the last thing he ever did, and it might be seeing a Artemis was getting older physically and Drizzt was not.
When Artemis heard that there was a Drow woman in Deeping Dale living a whore's life he packed up and left Suzail where they where staying to find her, why was still unclear to Jarlaxle.
"No, if you want to talk it will need to be a place with more people in it." Akordia said as coolly as she could.
She was not afraid of them but she had just left Hew in that clearing and she did not want to but the man in any danger.
"Where do you purpose then, little one." Jarlaxle asked again in a quite tone, he was used to being nice to get what he wanted this was no different.
However, Artemis was getting more and more agitated with the whole thing. This was good because when it came time to separate the two it would not be hard.
" The next town to the west has a Tavern in it called the Farmers Delight. I will be there in two days." Akordia stated as coldly as possible.
She did not like these two people but she was leaving this town anyway and that tavern was her next stop. If they wanted to meet it would be on her terms.
"Two Days" Artemis growled; his eyes where ablaze with anger "but if you are not there than you should…"
"Artemis" Jarlaxle yelled, "Do not threaten the girl"
He approached the two who were standing side-by-side Artemis still had the girl by the arm; extended his hand to Akordia who accepted it with hesitation. She would do just about anything to get loose of the other mans grip. "We are going to need to teach him some Tack dear one" he said in the Drow tongue and kissed the back of her hand.
She did not respond to his words. Her accent told the other drow that he was speaking in her native language, but she now looked at him as if her had just spoken orc to her.
Akordia just stared at him. He might as well have been speaking Orcish. That was how she felt about the Drow language. The only time she spoke that tongue was when she was alone or to mad to remember not to.
"I do not speak that tongue. Ever." These words where spoken in the elvish language, which is what her mother had spoken to her after her father left.
"Why, did your mother not teach you your fathers tongue?" Artemis asked coldly and with much distaste for the girl. He wanted to see if he could agitate the girl.
"You know nothing of my family human. Do not speak of things that you do not know of." She hissed through clenched teeth. She knew that the man could not have known about the family that she came from. She had never given anyone her family name, he could not have known.
Artemis knew that he had hit the girl's sore spot in her life; this could be used to his advantage.
"Artemis leave her alone" Jarlaxle warned in a tone that showed that he was also agitated at the human and his words were not to be taken lightly "I have told you this once not to antagonize the girl and I will not warn you again" the last words were almost hissed.
"Again I am sorry Little One for his words, he can be so cruel sometimes. If you do not wish to speak your native tongue then that is fine, we will speak elven or common. Okay?" Jarlaxle was being almost too nice.
This is working out well the human thought as he noted that the girl was warming up to Jarlaxle.
He needed her to trust on of them, and because Jarlaxle was of her race, they thought that it might be easier on her if it was he. If she only knew that the niceness was an act.
"I will see you both in two days" Akordia said as she ran in to the town before they could stop her.
'Could that human have known my parents, or did the Drow know my father? No that is not possible' she thought as she ran back to the inn. ' I have not told anyone but lady and she would not have told them about my past'
Once again she needed to talk to the redheaded barkeep. She was leaving and would probably not be coming back.
She needed to find her mother and she was not proud of what she had become, so it was time to move on in her life. She wanted to be someone that everyone knew and respected. She wanted more than a whore's life; so it was time to take the first of many steps. She had to leave all she knew and start a fresh life, and she needed to know why her mother had left the glade they lived in so long ago
