Galos paled a bit when his sire commanded him to bring her to the festival. He wasn't planning to unveil her to the world until at the very earliest the New Years' Gala. He was fine with the rumors getting out, but actually showing her off was another thing entirely. Galos nodded weakly as his sire wandered off, before quickly coming to his senses and calling after the old man.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"If you wish for the tracking notes and lineage I followed, they are in the Terra Observation Chamber,"</span>Galos said, getting only a slight wave from the man in the process. He was a bit stuck where he stood for a moment, even after his sire left his sight. His mind was racing to figure out how to change his plans moving forward. Before he could even properly think of what exactly to do about Karie, she interrupted his thoughts.<br/><br/>The sound of silverware clattering as it was picked up was enough to pull him out of his thoughts. He saw the hesitation on her face, and Galos knew that it was just a matter of time before that was gone and he had her begging for more. Too much would turn her into little more than a servant. Too little would leave her bedridden. Luckily, she was still fresh to the experience, so Galos knew he had a couple more weeks before she grew sick. But, either way, he was making his intentions known.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"You are free to choose whether or not you want that or not, Karie,"</span>Galos said, standing and grabbing himself a bottle of wine.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000"> "It is a reward for you due to your exceptionally good behavior despite your desire for certain acts to not transpire,"</span>Galos said, getting a corkscrew from one of the servants and working on opening the bottle.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"Furthermore, I will not scold you for speaking out of turn, the first time I know was an accident, and the second, though I would have preferred you stay quiet, is counteracted with the choice of the emerald."</span><br/><br/>Galos freed the cork from the bottle and poured himself quite the full glass as he waited on Karie to make her decision. Once she had, Galos picked up the glass and sighed.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"Come, we are going to the garden,"</span>Galos said, beginning to walk off. He needed time to think, and the temptation of the abilities some of the plants in the garden had was a good way to test if he wished to just brute force the process or figure out another path.
