Vladimir listened to the arguments of the priestess. He'd always trusted Selene before, and on this occasion his mind knew she was correct, but his gut told him something different. He couldn't leave Mira. "Thank you for your council Mistress, we will contact the Inquisition." he stated flatly once the woman was finished, "No doubt all of the women who escaped with us will be investigated. But should they confirm there is no corruption within them they will be free to go wherever they desire; and should she wish it, Mira will be staying with me on the Endless Night until such time as she desires to leave. Understood?"
"Good." Evelyn smiles. "Let's dig in, then." Penelope and Miriam arrive with the dessert, the later making eyes at her mistress.
"Staying with you?" She blanches. "As in... In your chambers?" The holy woman's expression is difficult to parse. "Is that safe? What if she tries something when you're sleeping?"
Vladimir blinked. "As in she'll be staying aboard the Endless Night, where I am. The ship has more than enough space as you know. But if she prefers the safety of my company, then she'll be welcome in my chambers." His face and tone then grew humorous, a rarity for him. "...After she's cleared by an examination of the Inquisition? I doubt she'd try to harm her own son. And if she did, do you not think I'm capable of defending myself? Even asleep an Eternal Warrior is no easy prey."
"Very well..." Serena sighs, and reaches up to touch Vladimir's cheek. "Just be careful. She may not be your mother any more." With that, she turns and walks away. Not long after, Vladimir recieves the news that the demon host has almost entirely fled through the remaining warp gates, which are beginning to close and disappear. Evidently, the demons don't want to fight without their leader.
Vladimir regarded Selene, confused for a moment, Mira would always be his mother but nodded in silence. Once his discussion with the priestess was over and he was informed of the resounding victory, he set about organizing the Legion's extraction back to the fleet. All-in-all he was quite pleased with the result; this was an outstanding victory for the Emperor, almost too easy. There were still a number of matters to address, the most important being the Inquisition's investigation and the stabilization of the planetary government, but those were issues that wouldn't really concern the Eternal Warriors or the Nightfall Battle Fleet. So, satisfied that his orders would be complied with, Vladimir instead returned to the tent that housed his mother Mira. He was eager to, yet uncertain of how to reconnect with her after all this time. Upon walking into the tent he immediately dismissed whatever personnel were present and regarded the scantily clad woman. There was a stinging wetness in his eyes he was unfamiliar with, and he found himself wiping them. "Hello mother." He greeted.
"My love." She smiles at him, her body whispy and seductive as she stands up to approach him. "How you've grown!" Mira wipes his eyes. "Now, now. You don't need to cry." Embracing her son, she leans against Vladimir. "You'll never have to cry again. I promise." Her hands run through his hair. "Mommy's here, honey." If Vladimir doesn't move her, she stays like that for a good while, before moving to make some tea. "I can't believe you're so big!" She laughs. "Where I was, time was strange, it all seemed so fast. The last I can remember, you were this tall." She holds a hand at hip height.
Vladimir permitted her to do as she would and enjoyed the comfort of her presence. In truth, he didn't really remember her at all. "My memories of the time before my transformation are... murky." He explained. "What I remember of you are more feelings rather than anything else. For me it's been a long time since your abduction; I had thought you dead." His eyes traversed her flimsily obscured body and he felt shame and anger at himself when he felt his cock stiffen in his armor. "Mother..." he continued, and felt happiness speaking the word to her, "a number of things will happen soon, and you should be ready for them. The invasion of Noctis was over three hundred years ago. No one has ever survived within the warp for that long. The Inquisition, they'll want to... question you about your time there. It may be... unpleasant." He paused to let her process that before he went on. "I'm an Eternal Warrior now; I have been for as long as I can remember. In fact, I am Legate of the Eternal Warriors of the Nightfall Battle Fleet. Lord Noctis no less. Once the Inquisition is satisfied with its investigation you'll be released, if you wish you may return to Noctis and take up residence in my villa. I have not been there in quite some time but it is an impressive estate."
"I remember you." She smiles. "I thought about you every day. Or at least the equivalent of days. I used to dream about someone rescuing me and bringing me back to you. I never imagined that you'd be the person rescuing me." Mira gives a pleasant giggle. "That... Sounds unpleasant. But if it's necessary, I'll go with the inquisition." The beautiful milf nods. "Are you okay, my son?" She asks as he begins to feel himself growing hard. "Is something wrong?" She looks slightly worried on his behalf. "Lord of Noctis, huh? I'm so proud, honey." She beams. "But if I go to your estate... I won't be around you much, will I? I want to be with you, Vladdie. We've been separated too long."
"I am... fine." he responded to her concern, ignoring his growing erection. "I was injured in the battle with the Hell Knight," he replied trying to pass his erection off as his injury. "Once I get back to my ship I'll be fine." "If you wish, you could stay on the Endless Night with me. It's a warship, and there are few civilians, but I could see to it that there's accommodations for you."
"I'd like that." She smiles. "I'll try to make myself useful." As he says that he's been injured, Vladimir spots that his mother's concern only increases. "Oh no! That's terrible!" She approaches, fawning over him. "Come on, get that armor off and let mommy look at it. I was a healer before I was captured, after all. Where are you hurt, honey?"
While Sitra and Evelyn were looking at the dessert Eanne gave a smile and a wink at Miriam. Later she would need to speak with the maid and start working on the planned threesome with her and Sitra. Once the dessert was served and the maids had left Eanne smiled at her girlfriend. “Dig in, and I hope you enjoy it.” I'm looking forward to the future, when I will be able to eat you for dessert... Licking her lips in anticipation she began eating her own.
Miriam smirks back while Sitra isn't looking, as the women begin their meal. Like always, it's exquisite. "Too bad." Sitra says, examining Eanne's face. "I was hoping there'd be a bit left on you, like last time."
“There is some on you, though.” Eanne smirked as she leaned closer and licked a non-existent bit of dessert off Sitra's face. Going back to her own, some of the tasty dessert “accidentally” fell down on one of her large breasts. “Oops, how careless of me! Would you mind helping me, dear?” She looked at Sitra, smirking.
"O-Oh..." Sitra blushes, and looks to Evelyn, who's conveniently looking away. Taking the plunge, she leans forward, and Eanne feels the warmth of the girl's tongue on her cleavage.
“Mmm, nice... Good girl...” Eanne moaned quietly so that only Sitra could hear her. For a moment she hesitated how far to take things, then decided to push it a little further. She pulled the cloth covering her left breast to the side, revealing the large globe of flesh to the silver-haired beauty. “There's a bit more here, dear...” She smirked and pointed to her hard nipple.
Sitra looks at Evelyn again, who's conveniently and implausibly oblivious, before silently nodding. Eanne feels the girl's tongue against her hard nub, before she begins to suck on it, the action sending tingles of excitement up Eanne's body.
“Mmm!~” Eanne moaned in pleasure as Sitra sucked on her nipple. Fortunately Evelyn “failed” to hear it. I think I teased her enough for now... The blonde decided, allowing the busty widow to stop and get back to eating her dessert. After covering her exposed breast Eanne followed suit, quickly finishing hers. “Mmm, the dessert was simply divine, don't you agree, darling?” She asked as she smiled at her future bride.
"Y-Yeah..." Sitra says, bright red. "Indeed, Penelope did a wonderful job, as always." Evelyn says, pretending not yo have noticed.
“Indeed. We should do this again later. But for tonight I think this is enough.” Eanne smiled while looking at Sitra, leaving it ambiguous if she meant the dinner or what the two had been doing. Getting up Eanne offered her hand to her girlfriend. “Come on, I'll escort you to your room.” She suggested before turning to her mother. “I hope you enjoyed the dinner as much as we did, mom,” she smirked, “I will see you tomorrow. Good night!”
