　　　Grudgingly；　Quenthel　nodded　in　assent；　and　the　rest　followed　into　the　cave。　Halisstra　and　Pharaun　had　already　thrown　themselves　down　on　the　pebbled　floor　of　the　cavern　a　few　dozen　yards　from　the　entrance；　shucking　their　packs　and　leaning　back　against　the　walls。　The　rest　of　the　Menzoberranyr　filed　in　slowly　and　picked　out　their　own　spots；　collapsing　wherever　they　happened　to　stop　moving。
　　　Seyll's　bloodstained　armor　seemed　unbearably　heavy　on　Halisstra's　shoulders；　and　the　hilt　of　the　Eilistraeean's　sword　jammed　painfully　into　her　ribs。　She　was　too　tired　to　find　a　better　position。
　　　〃Will　no　one　tell　me　what　happened　in　the　Demonweb　Pits？〃　Jeggred　railed。　〃I　have　waited　in　that　empty　stone　room　for　days；　guarding　your　sleeping　bodies　faithfully。　I　deserve　to　hear　what　happened。〃
　　　〃You　will；〃　Valas　answered。　〃Later。　I　don't　believe　any　of　us　rightly　know　what　to　make　of　it。　Give　us　time　to　rest；　and　to　reflect。〃
　　　Rest？　Halisstra　thought。
　　　She　felt　as　if　she　could　sleep…sleep　in　the　unconscious　and　helpless　manner　of　a　human…for　a　tenday　and　not　feel　healed　of　the　fatigue　she　carried。　Her　mind　refused　to　reflect　any　longer　on　why　Lolth　had　abandoned　her；　yet　she　had　something　in　her　heart　that　demanded　examination；　a　grief　that　would　not　permit　her　the　refuge　of　the　Reverie　until　she　had　found　some　way　to　let　it　out。
　　　With　a　sigh；　she　pulled　her　satchel　close　and　opened　it；　taking　out　the　leather　case　of　her　lyre。　She　carefully　unsheathed　the　heirloom；　running　her　fingers　over　the　rune…carved　dragonbone　arms；　touching　the　perfect　mithral　wire。
　　　At　least　I　still　have　this；　she　thought。
　　　In　the　silence　of　the　forest　cave；　Halisstra　played　the　dark　songs　of　the　bae'qeshel；　and　softly　gave　voice　to　her　unbearable　grief。
