Many times throughout his life, too numerous to count, it was Drizzt's heightened sense of hearing that saved his life. Deep within the wilds of the Underdark, where a twist in the lightless tunnels could deliver one into the lap of a horror beyond imagining, and upon the face of the world, where the sun's bright light dazzled his eyes and cover in which to hide was plentiful, he heard his attackers before he saw them. It was useful then, as an instrument of survival, and he was learning that it was useful now in saving himself from embarrassment.

Faintly, Drizzt could hear Kaylee's approaching footsteps from the other side of the door, affording him a moment to still his anxious movements and compose himself. When she opened the door, he smiled warmly. "Good afternoon, Kaylee."

Whatever else he had been about to say abandoned him as he looked at her. By the gods, she was beautiful. Not that he had never thought so before, but there was something subtly different today, something that took his breath away and reduced him to staring at her like a damn fool.

Feeling that he owed her an explanation for his behavior, Drizzt said simply, "You are beautiful." The realization that the hallway was not the proper place for this conversation followed on the heels of his words and he stepped inside quickly.

Turning back to face Kaylee, Drizzt withdrew the figurine from his pocket and held it out to her. "I was going to bring her but then I thought that you might like to call her yourself."
