Lea had been as surprised as anyone when the proud cleric lowered herself to kiss her tight little bum.  It was only in the moment afterwards that she began to realize the power of the collar and how it essentially made Cortia her slave.  It was ironic to the halfling considering her earlier experience with those with that mark.  She noticed the cleric's reaction and felt bad, though a little intrigued by the possibilities.<b>"I'm sorry Cortia, I'll have to be a bit more careful with what I say now that you are...well...you have the collar I gave you."</b><br/><br/>If Lea felt guilty about the collar she was at least relieved to see Curiosity safely to the first room where she could recover in relative safety and comfort.  She had felt responsible for her running off after putting her on the spot by asking her to read one of the steamy tales from the diary.<b>"You'll be safe here."</b>She told her as the others helped her to the bed.  She hoped she might be able to join them again or perhaps on another adventure.  It was disheartening to lose a member so early on but at least she had survived the ordeal.<br/><br/>As they set off again Lea stopped Cortia from leading saying<b>"I should lead, just stay close enough to keep the runes from triggering on me, there might be non-magical traps as well, or secret doors, I will keep an eye out for them."</b>She knew Cortia wouldn't argue but she wasn't sure what sort of trickery Desira might be able to perform on her instruments, not to mention the vulnerable woman's body.
