Through her curiosity about "this seems to be working for them" (as a former noble who has had multiple relationships with elves), Gwenaëlle befriends Chapentier and Adenet, eventually leading to an invitation to meet some of Adenet's friends who recognise her surname as belonging to Alix Baudin, who had never become a spy for Briala but who would have done if she hadn't been killed in the burning of Halamshiral. She's discreet about this meeting, sneaking out one window and back in* a different one to make it, and trades on her genuine interest in what her sister was up to and any connection she can find to her in order to establish some friendly connections with actual elven spies who fondly remember her older sisters and are begrudgingly endeared to her sincerity. This may be useful in the future.
