"Be not afraid young one, I mean no harm, quite the opposite... My intuition tells me that you are inclined to interest in the fairer sex, is this so?" Kraltha asks, removing her finger but instead brushing Lozli's ankle with the tip of her tail... "I certainly hope it is, because you are most fetching, and I would make your 'better acquaintance' if you are willing..." She purrs against Lozli's ear-scale.
"Y-Yes, it is true... mostly..." She slightly backs away as the dragon purrs in her ear, before resuming her old stance. "Erm... I don't know what to say..." She rubs the backs of her hands nervously.
Kraltha-Tan giggles, tasting the air with her long sinuous tongue to gauge Lozli's emotions from the flavor of her pheromones. "Why that's simplicity itself Lozli-dahling, say 'YES'..." She says in a jocular-and-invitational-but-not-demanding tone, trying to put the Kobold at ease while simultaneously moving things toward a satisfactory resolution.
Cera(Moonblack): As you leave the meeting hall, someone wastes no time in getting close to you and cutting you off. How exactly she had managed finding this exact spot is a mystery but Madam Ash stands in her long coat in front of you, placing one hand by her head as she stares. "Hey. Got a sec?" Her eyes dart over the area and then to a door to a secluded room. "...it's fine, if you don't." The last part is spoken quietly, the annoyance on her face is obvious. Clearly, she is not used to having to ask people for things rather then tell them. Dromani(Merkos): While exiting the meeting place, there is a brief flash of purple before your eyes. The moment it dies down, it's in a secluded bedroom area with various bookshelves lined along the wall, volumes of things that seem to range from every possible subject under the sun. Sitting at a table in the room, is Lady Atis who stares analytically. "..Dromani, correct? I'm sure you realize the actual implications of speaking here rather than in front of a group. Should you decide that this is not optimal and that you posses no fascination or curiosity with what I may speak, I can simply allow you to leave. You face no obligation and will not be punished for refusal. However, since I suspect curiosity will get the better of you, won't you have a seat?" Shesten(Generic)+Kralthanlaghan(Nemo)+Carmen(Majus): (I'll just let you guys do your own scenes for now so you all can do some lewd. )
Cera blinks a couple of times, caught by surprise. She had not expected to get approached right after leaving the meeting hall. And the person who had approached her was even more of a surprise. “Sure, I'm not in a hurry.” She answers as her eyes follow Madam Ash's and also dart towards the secluded room. “What can I do for you, my lady?” She adds as she returns her gaze to the other woman, curious to learn what this is about. She waits, ready to follow the older woman. (OOC: Welcome back!)
Dromani briefly examines Lady Atis. "Indeed, curious would be one of the best terms to describe me by. If I may slip into something a little more comfortable. Sitting on chairs is difficult in this form." He sets his large satchel which carries most of his belongings on the ground in front of him before shifting into his alternate form. It is not a grotesque or particularly unpleasant transformation. His body simply shifts and ripples mostly soundlessly inside of a shroud of misty magic. Once the magic clears, he stretches his arms; his thin body rippling with muscles. It's not a particularly bulky, but looks more like he would run a marathon with little effort. The full view of his nudity would likely have been on display for Lady Atis if it wasn't for his tactfully placed bag. Despite being completely disrobed, the satchel is just tall enough to cover his manhood and only a hint of his dark bushy pubic hair can be seen peeking out from above the bag. After sliding a hand through his hair and between his feline ears, Dromani kneels behind the bag and rummages through it for a moment. He pulls out a gray wool robe and wraps it around his body. The belt gets tied loosely around his waist before he moves around the satchel to sit at the table with her. He gives Lady Atis a friendly smile. "I am quite starved for stimulating conversation these days. My previous assignment had me reeling with underlings who could not titillate my senses. "
Cera(Moonblack): Ash had taken Cera into the room. Not a particularly fancy one, though quiet and out of the way. "So..." Ash placed another hand by her head as she paused trying to think of exactly what she could say for the moment. "...look. We need better mages." The green haired lady was clearly serious as she got straight to the point observing Cera in the eyes. "What good is a master mage who can't protect anyone?" The tones of annoyance and anger made it evident that this was something that the stoic lady had bottled up for some time. "We're meant to be the best. Instead we have people who places themselves up higher than the rest. They look at what everyone else does wrong, but don't ever blame themselves. Something has got to go." Ash took a step closer to Cera and placed a hand on the mages shoulder. "...stick with me. We can improve the way things are. Get with the winning side." Ash didn't make an extremely convincing speech. She just merely spoke with determination and a certainty in her voice that made it evident that she completely believed everything she said as the truth. "Out of all of those guys that they gathered....all of them are fucks up. Why try to raise up another one of those? Why not someone more...." She paused and gave a hard look. "Just stick with me, alright?" "...after all...you're the only one I want anyway." Dromani(Merkos): Atis didn't seem at all surprised by the change. Likely, she was already perfectly aware of it. "Yes. I am quite aware of how they squandered what you are actually capable of." The mage did seem partly seem fascinated by his new near nudity. It remained unclear to whether or not it was a positive or negative thing about her, since she did not blush or look disgusted about it. Once he had redressed himself, she remained looking at him without seeming to have strong feelings one way or the other. "It is actually because of that reason which is why I wish to speak to you. Even in the highest groups of power we have individuals who have earned nothing by merit. Riding on the coat tails of success fashioned and tailored by their siblings. Let me ask you...do you think that's fair? An entire kingdom having to cater to the mood swings and temper tantrums of an air headed brat?" Her tone didn't sound angry at all or even like she hoped for agreement from him. "Do you think that it's fair to have those people who doubt the way things are on the bottom rung ladder merely because of someone's blood relationship? Why not raise up those who have seen hardship and have experience to make the claims of their knowledge? Would you be willing to consider doing something special for me? After all, you are the only one out of your entire group that I want." Shesten(Generic)+Kralthanlaghan(Nemo)+Carmen(Majus): (I assume everyone is going to end up going at different paces now, so this might get a little scrambled trying to keep things balanced.)
Cera listens patiently to Madam Ash's words. Way to give a girl ideas... of course, that might be the goal. She muses to herself at Ash's last line. “This is quite a surprise, I must admit...” she says slowly. At the same time her mind races as she considers all the possibilities she can think of – from the most likely ones to the most outlandish. “I agree with you about needing better mages.” And better everything else, I'm starting to think. She adds in her mind. “However, I'm not really sure how I can be of assistance. I'm not a master mage – at least not yet, though I hope to change that eventually, in time. So what could I do for you, madam?” She pauses and hesitates for a moment before asking one more question that really bugs her. “And why me, if I may ask? As far as I am aware, until today lady Atis was the only one among the four of you that I had spoken to. Did I ever do anything to attract your attention?”
Dromani thinks quietly about what Lady Atis was saying for a moment before responding. "I think that blood is jost blood. Who you are related to is not something that should be brought into account when determining rank and privelage. " He sighs and leans back in his seat. "I left everything behind because I did not agree with what the other sphinxes were doing with their knowledge and skills. I know about people in power who shouldn't be in power. With that in mind, I would be willing to assist you with something... "special". However, I'll have to know what that is before I agree to anything. Too often have I been taken advantage of by agreeing to favors a bit too eagerly."
(Sorry for the delay.) Lozli is interested in Kraltha, and aroused, but she is also terrified of the dragon. "Yes." She says, in a quavering voice. She doesn't sound very into it, though she also obviously wants to lay with the dragon.
Majus: (Whoops. I completely didn't notice that she had dismissed the kobold. Super sorry.) While heading on your way back, the pink flashes and glows are blinding as the entire place seems to shift, and a smaller twin tailed trap falls face first on to the ground with an "oof" sound. Eli still holds a smile, and looks upwards to you. "Oh, hey...you're like leaving now or whatever? Then you got time to hang, right?" He didn't even wait for an answer as he lifted an arm above his head, a flurry of strange bubbles streaming out that enveloped the hallway, blocking all vision. As soon as they died down and a proper look at the area could be scene, it was in a bright blue room, pristine in nature. Water poured from the sides of it from an unknown source, filling a magical pool that the pinkette didn't hesitate to remove his clothes and jump in, before staring wide eyed at Carmen. "Sooo like....you wanna chat for a bit? Whelp, you're totally going to anyway." His eyes widened again, something just occurring to him. "Oh my god! Think about it ! Magical bathing suits that make boobies grow!" He frowned for a second. "Um...wait. No. That wasn't what I wanted to talk about...hm..oh, yeah! That knight dude. The one you're like lovers with or whatevs? Right...wanna kill him?" Eli suggested it so casually before facing up. "..he treats you like a pawn, uses you for anything. You deserve better, don't you? I knew. When you stepped into that room, I was like "We should be friends."...cause, y'know? After all...like compared to everyone there? You're the only one I want." (Sorry again. I'll try to get everyone roughly to the same speed.)
Carmen was a little surprised by the sudden... 'invitation'. Still, she decided to go along with it. “Might I ask how... and why I picked your interest? After all, I'm pretty sure that Lord Zander has many followers like me.” Carmen looks around the room than nods with approval. “To casually throw around such magic, you are indeed powerful Eli.” She pauses. “Might I call you Eli?” {No problem}
(So as annoying as this is, this probably needs to go on pause for a while(Hopefully temporary) I think you guys had probably a pretty good idea this would end up being the case with how much it's slowed so I don't think it comes out of nowhere, though I understand how it can be annoying. There's lots of reason for it however and while I still have time for the other rpgs that I'm playing in and a new one starting on discord, I just don't feel like I get much chances to write as a gm lately if that makes any sense despite sounding really stupid, I know.)
