A friend of a friend is also a friend, no,"</span> Ranis asked, arching an eyebrow. It was a human saying that she learned while on her travels. Many times, she heard it in bars such as this one, where people were meeting for the first time. Those people usually formed parties with someone they knew and someone they didn't, and the group would leave and travel together for a while. Just as the thought crossed her mind that this felt like one of those situations, Renate inquired about a criminal organization that she had been searching for. Ranis guessed that Renate was either insane, or that the woman was a sell sword of some kind. When she finished her story, and Ranis finished with the second bottle that she purchased, the dragon was just about to reply when Nao. . .<br/>
<br/>
Well, Ranis couldn't really be mad at him. She was rather attractive in this form, and she was a Queen. In this kind of place, people like him were to be expected. Nothing that she hadn't come across in her travels yet. In fact, she learned how to deal with people when they became like this all too well. And a large part of her enjoyed "dealing with" those people. Since Naolin was such an entertaining person, and someone that she found she rather liked, she wouldn't treat him the same as she normally did others who had done this in the past. She smiled at him, slowly leaning forward so that she could whisper into his ear.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000ff"> â??Would you believe me if I said I would much rather be on top? In control of everything, watching the way your face twists in pleasure as I work my magic,â?</span> she whispered, her voice soft and near breathless. Her finger slowly traced the length of his arm, gently coming to rest on top of his hand.<br/>
<br/>
All of a sudden, her grip around his hand tightened, and she slowly began to pull it away.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000ff"> â??Flattery will get you everywhere Naolin, everywhere except for there. Please do keep that in mind, because I would hate to have to hurt the first person Iâ??ve met in years I have found to be so entertaining.â?</span> Slowly, she pulled away from the drunk and flashed a friendly smile down at him before slowly pushing him away. Her attention shifted from Naolin and back to Renate almost instantly. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#4000ff">â??I am afraid I havenâ??t heard of such a group, however, if you are in need of another sword, perhaps I may lend you my own,â?</span> Ranis said softly. She was offering to join Renate in her quest to find the underground group. For many reasons really. Mostly because hearing of the things that they did left a bad taste in her mouth, and because it sickened her to her stomach to know that there were such things happening in this world.<br/>

No matter how you looked at it, having the assistance of a dragon was a great thing. Having the assistance of the Dragon Queen? It didnâ??t get much better than that.[/list:u][/list:u]</li>
