Wandering Soul, from the Vantage point of Illuvane

Illuvaen was out of sorts. While the last few days had been going quite swimmingly, the news about his mother and the village had certainly changed that. As a result, he decided to go see if one of his old college friends was around. Picking up his pace he sped down the streets, through alleys and up staircases until he came to her door.
He brushed down his coat, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door. There was a short sound of shuffling before the door opened.
"Well, well, well... if it isn't the heir to the throne!"
"Hello Yissrada." Illuvaen responded smiling. She was as beautiful. Her eyes seemed even more bright than the last time she saw her and she certainly had a gravitas that was lacking before. "Sadly, that title will follow me forever."
"Not forever, just until you take over and then you will be King. Do come in." She led him inside, sat him down, and returned in a second with two large glasses.
"Now, I suspect you are here for two things. The second thing I have no problems with, but the first is the one that I am concerned about."
Illuvaen swallowed. "Yes... well, the first thing is that my mother has been abducted by the Shadowcasters."
"Oh... well, I thought it was a girl problem." She took a sip from her drink, but kept her large brown eyes on him.
"That is thing one and a half." He took a sip as well.
 "Oh, Illuvaen. When are you going to just propose to me." She said laughing.
"Well, I tried, remember?"
"Oh, right." She looked off in thought. "Whatever was I thinking?" She took another sip. "I might answer differently next time."
"I will keep that in mind... if things don't turn out well here soon I might just need an easy queen."
"That wasn't nice... anyway, I am sorry about your mother... are you going to rescue her?"
"Oddly, enough I was on my way there with a group already."
"How convenient."
"Oddly so..."
"Well, I am certainly you will rescued her without too much difficulty. Is she still sleeping around?"
Illuvaen blushed, certain that he did not want to talk about this. "Maybe."
Yissandra just smiled knowingly. "Now, about the girl..."
"Well, she isn't from this world, can't remain, and is interested in another guy."
"Ah, now I see why you came to me. Decided to give up?"
"Well, you know I have a habit of falling for women that will either reject me or can't be with me."
"So you wanted to return to a scene of the crime?"
"Naturally."
"Well, you should know that I am always ready for new crimes." She crossed her legs and let her dress slide up slightly.
"I suspected that..." he said sliding on close to her. She leaned over and kissed him, moving her arms down his side.
"Now, are you the royalty tonight, or am I?" She whispered into his ear.

If Druuv kept following him than she is probably in the building right now
