Enjoying her warm tea she made note of each woman. Their likes intrigued her. They were all hardworking and all were slightly different. She hoped to get to know them a little better. For now… tension would remain until the shock of her status as Chikage’s Mate wore off… better yet his Queen.<br/>Chikage was a fierce leader, and could cope with many types of people. He was definitely King material. He had conquest on his mind and she could give that to him. Not the world… but a big chunk of Kyoto wouldn’t hurt.<br/><br/>Moving her thoughts away from world conquest she continued to listen to the girls. It seemed they had a deep fondness for her Lord. That pleased her greatly. For once… jealousy did not rear its ugly head. Perhaps… she was starting to feel comfortable again.<br/><br/>Looking at all the girls with a serious but soft gleam in her eyes. “Thank you for sharing those things with me. Now, if I may I wish to share something with you all. I do apologize for my absence. Just like you all… I never lived an easy life. Lord Chikage’s…. proposal was not something I ever dreamed of. Never in my life have I met such a man. I’m just as grateful to be in his presence as you are.” Taking a sip of her tea she relaxed her shoulders.<br/><br/>“This is our home, and I hope over time… we could become better acquainted…” She paused as her head snapped up and a light reflected in her eyes. A soft warm loving look crossed them as she caught sight of her love. Only he could stop her heart in its tracks like he did. She barely breathed as she acknowledged him. She was marked emotionally as a woman in love and she did nothing to hide it.<br/><br/>She watched as he was given respect and entered the gardens. As he moved closer his scent met her senses, she could have purred. She had only been away from him for a day… and she was ready to fall into his arms all over again.<br/><br/>“Intimidating?” She asked calmly.<br/><br/>“What on earth do I gain from intimidation? You of all people should know I’m much more into seduction.” She said with a sensual undertone. Standing slowly yet elegantly she bent her knees slightly as she jumped across the tea gathering. Landing in front of her love in a soft wind she slowly stood to her full height. Looking up at him with her deep lavender hues. “Perhaps I can remind you of my immaculate talents…” looking back at the girls she smiled. “After dinner of course… shall we my Lord?” She spoke with a soft smile as a devious glint of crimson flashed in her eyes.
