"No thank you for the offer of rooms," Liliana said crisply. "I have my own townhouse, and I see no reason why I should give it up and move in here. I quite like my own space, thank you."
Not that the Hall of the Guildpact wasn't large enough to fit all of them and never notice, but Liliana Vess would die before she relied on Jace Beleren to provide for her.
"You...do?" Jace asked.
"Yes, Jace," Liliana said, slowly and simply, like talking to a child. "I've been renting that townhouse since before we met."
"I...didn't know that."
"Yes, Living Guildpact, I'm aware," Liliana drawled. "But unlike some Planeswalkers, I prefer to maintain residences on the planes where I spend a great deal of time, rather than acting like an itinerant drifter. So you may keep your rooms, Ignis and I are fine in our current lodgings."
Please note she wasn't sharing the location of said lodgings. Look what happened the last time he had known where to find her.
"Now then, as delightful an exploration into true friendship as this was, I do believe it's time for us to depart. I promised Ignis we'd try for Millennial Platform tickets tonight. Unless you happen to have any...?"
"Err..."
"Yes, that's about what I figured," Liliana sighed. "It's a good thing I didn't join this group for the perks." She said it with a touch of a smile, but just a touch. Besides, her pleasure was genuine. The best lies always contained enough truth to slide through.
She was now a member of the Gatewatch. Futures unfolded in her mind, full of promise and ambition.
