Departing Marillein

Daneel found himself in a dark, musty stone passage a moment later.

The elf was waiting for him, those blobs of light below his ears being functional, for once, illuminating a small area around them. Alex seemed to have gone looking for the exit, and sure enough, before he could even say anything, he returned and said, "This way. Its just a single corridor; it seems to lead out into the south-west island."

With a nod, Daneel gestured at Alex to lead the way, and soon, they were climbing a few steps that led them to an iron gate that easily swung open when a bit of force was applied. It had been oiled recently, which meant that this was a passageway that was constantly maintained, so with caution, they continued on their way, ready to deal with anyone who might see them coming out of a place that should normally only be accessed by the beggar king.
