You explain your intention to learn what befell Tatháta in the days since she was last seen fleeing from the hidden harbour. Silence falls upon Ilmabiri for long moments. At last Tephísa's voice floats back to you.

'Many of us live in the tunnels, stranger: more than you might think. Our eyes see much that the Temámir do not, for we can reach places even they cannot go; perhaps they choose not to go there, but we have not that choice. All of Umbar-môkh is our domain, and while the city is big, Umbar-môkh has vastness of a different kind.

'A friend of mine witnessed Tatháta's flight. By secret paths he followed her, unseen, but he was not her only pursuer. An Umbari warrior-woman chased at her heels, deadly daggers flashing in the torch-light. He pursued them both into Kamrabezûr, but among those vaults he lost their trail. Many abandoned temples to the Church of the All-Seeing can be found in that place; it may be Tatháta gained entrance to one of those, and stays there now in hiding. Of the other, I cannot say. My friend believes Tatháta must have given her the slip as well, leaving her no choice but to return to the city above. That seems most likely to me.

'Good-bye, stranger. I thank you for the food and for the wine! I hope Tephísa has been a help to you.'

There is a brief rustling sound, and you know the girl has disappeared once again into the deeper darkness of Umbar-môkh.
