For a moment, Ythri looked at Alexis blankly. Not only had he not answered her question, but he hadn't even acknowledged it. It was almost as if she hadn't said anything at all. There was a short pause in the conversation while she digested this fact.
"Half-Thėlyri," she said at last, trying to be friendly. "Which, in a roundabout sort of way, is why I'm here. I'm looking for anyone who might have some information on my mother, Kiari Dun. She's passed away now, but I know that for a time she lived in Aelyria Prime. I didn't find anyone there who knew her, so I thought I'd look elsewhere. Chelseanna has a Conservatorio that teaches Song, so even if I don't turn up anything here, it won't be a wasted trip."
Ythri wasn't entirely convinced that Alexis was sober enough to remember the name Kiari Dun, even if he had heard it before. But it couldn't hurt to try. And, lest she forget, he was the one buying the drinks here, and so she could afford to be even more patient than usual.
