"By the time we return, I am sure that my employees will have found out exactly why they chose to do so," Emlyn said. It was the true fact and, though he would not immediately subject Alice to how exactly that information would be found, he felt as if by that time she would be thoroughly too caught up in his web to care. She may be quickly falling into his possession, but even he knew there were some things which he would have to ease her in to. Regardless of future dealings, Emlyn continued. "I have a gut feeling that it was more than simply some ecoterrorists believing the misguided idea that my alchemical factories are polluting the local ecosystem, so the reveal when we get back will certainly put that to rest. As for their motivations for pulling you in, I can confirm that they were not of the right stock to be able to destroy the factory by themselves. A miscalculation on their end is what is to blame for your presence here, not their actions. Everyone is redeemable if they have a use."<br/><br/>Emlyn internally winced at his last statement. He was getting comfortable faster than his claws could sink into Alice's psyche. He had to be more careful going forward, or she would start to see through the cracks in the vernier that was Emlyn's land, ones caused by her presence ironically enough. He continued to eat as Alice took her time going about telling him things he already knew. She seemed the type of girl that would fit into a system already in place if there was room to accommodate her. And considering her admission of enjoying the pleasure he had given her, she had found that place even if she did not know it just yet. Emlyn would have to restrain himself from using too much of the powder too quickly if he wanted her obedient but still.... innocent to this world.<br/><br/>"I have in the past, but some could say that I work entirely too hard for my own good, which is why I do not have someone to fill that particular void," Emlyn said, taking a sip of the wine provided. "It is simply another casualty in my created life, is all. As you could surely tell, I have the desire and motivation for it, but I find that time is better spent ensuring my enterprises run smoothly instead of looking for a lady that does not prefer the night." Emlyn knew it was a bit of a risk, but he opted to trust the groundwork he had already laid out as well as the powder. A calculated gamble on his part. A slight smile played on his lips as be continued, shifting the conversation just a little bit more towards such lewd activities. "But, if you are so concerned about my stress relief, perhaps that could be yet another job you can take up?"
