"Ah, so it's more of cooperation, then being the best. Are you here to be the one I will be working with?" Kina asked as she sat next to her and refilled her glass. She could see as the lust she added to the mixture was slowly starting to work. By the end of it, the woman will be coiling in pleasure while being in a trance - Kina will be able to plant few orders.
She bites her lip as she drinks some more. "Ummm, uh, no..." She shakes her head to clear it. "You'll be partnered with the other...umm...applicants. Gah..."
Kina crashed her lips against the concubines, kissing her deeply, making her melt "My, you seem in need to relax." Kina says as she unties woman's Kimono and throws it open, revealing her body. Her hand travelled down, between woman's tights. "Allow me to pleasure you, elder sister." Kina said as her finger entered concubine's snatch and started doing her magic, gently, while she kissed her.
“I see... this will definitely take a few days, but at least getting to meet her should not be hard – the gardens sound like a place I would like to visit anyway... Going back to the box for a moment, do you need me to check its contents?”
Midori nodded in acceptance. “Very well, if you are certain... Is there anything else I need to know, or anything you would like to add?”
@Tjf "That's unfortunate. Well, no use fretting over it. At least we got this." Kyouka shrugged, showing Jian the slightly scorched, slightly damaged gold idol. "Let's move on."
"Don't worry about it." She calmed the woman. "It's natural for you to want to try how the new girl that caught your eye taste." Lola's body arched as she had a small orgasm. "Is it natural for concubine to use her position, when she wanted to?" Kina wispered, her fingers making Lola shake with pleasure. "Would you preferred use this candidate or help her?" Kina asked, wandering what angle she should take with further investigation.
"Not that I can think of. She has two bodyguards, but since you'll be seducing her, I doubt they'll be relevant." She tilts her head. "When I have the box, I'll be pleased to grant you whatever reward you choose, within reason."
Moving through the hallway, they see nothing else of value in the rooms. Spotting and avoiding a pressure-plate trap while descending down some more stairs, the group enters a room unlike the others. It's a massive, cavernous chamber. Unlike the rest of the ruins, the walls and ceiling here aren't carved, just untouched natural rock formations. Massive stalagmites and stalactites criss cross the room, providing cover. The torch does a poor job of revealing the group's surroundings, the flame simply not producing enough light to illuminate such a large chamber. As the group moves, Jian and Kyouka both get the sense that they're being watched.
As they entered the large room, Kyouka instinctively uses her left hand to hold onto her sheathed katana. "Hmm. Wonder what this place is for. Doesn't seem to have that "special touch" the other rooms had." She said in a sarcastic tone, while her eyes dart around to spot the source of the uncomfortable feeling.
Jian looked around in the natural cave, wondering why he felt like being watched, 'Looks like they built the tomb around a natural cave system. Maybe this was used as a cistern.' He closed his eyes and listened for the sound of water.
She's not able to see anything in the darkness, but she swears that her eyes detect some sort of movement coming from one of the stalactites. Closing his eyes, his suspicions are confirmed, as he hears the sound of water trickling from one of the walls of the chamber. He hears something else, however, something hard to place. Finally, he identifies the noise. Skittering.
@unisol_gr44 "Hmm. Really now?" Kyouka groans, however she refrains from drawing her sword for now. But her hands are prepared to do so at a moment's notice, while she tries wait for their enemies to show themselves.
“Very well, I will let you know once I have news about the box.” Midori promised. “Is there anything else?”
