<span style="color: #ff0080">"if you say so sweety."</span>Lorna walked into their stall and though Kitori had a proper bedroom mother and daughter both seemed to prefer sleeping together in Lorna's soft bed of hay covered over in a thick, luxurious blanket. she laid down with a quiet groan and stretched out before she pulled Kitori in her arms to give her one deep kiss before pulling her daughter's head to rest on her bosom.<span style="color: #ff0080">"sleep good by beautiful daughter."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #5900b3">"it is very good."</span>she sipped some more before she corked the bottle and stowed in in Ash'alah's saddlebag.<span style="color: #5900b3">"she isn't stupid but she still fails to understand me in the slightest. i feel better after this ride then i did the entire time lounging on that sweltering, sun baked island. even the nights there were dreadfully hot and i didn't feel secure enough to sleep nude so i lay sweating all night. she assumed i would like what a lounging, spoiled human or Troll would like and didn't even bother or think to ask me for even the smallest bit of input. she could have picked any grove in these woods and set up a nice little camp and let me ride around all night and i would have felt safer, happier and more relaxed with a fraction of the servants she had around me. and the last thing i needed was her constant barbs."</span>she returned the squeeze and nodded.<span style="color: #5900b3"> "i know you would, but i will be fine and i don't want you stressing the whole time."</span>"forgive the interruption High Priestess but we should get going, there are some wolves stalking about, i think this is where they water their pups so they aren't pleased with us." she nodded to to the Sentinel and released Crimzon to climb back onto her saddle.<span style="color: #5900b3">"then we will respect their territory and move on."</span>once everyone was back on their mounts they made their way back to the road slowly, not wanting to appear as if fleeing.<br/><br/>Ophidian looked over at Nyarien and smiled gently.<span style="color: #ff8000">"if you do retreat from me i will wait patiently for you to settle your regrets and return on your own. i have patience and with tonight, for it is still dark, as a sample i know you are well worth the wait."</span>Leena smiled to Nyarien but Ophidian shook his head.<span style="color: #ff8000">"not on my island. i do not tolerate violence and i enforce that rule with a gentle wave of my hand. i can separate you two with a thought and deal with it my way."</span>he paused for a moment before he continued and added another steak to his work.<span style="color: #ff8000">"it seems she will join you for the meal."</span><span style="color: #ff0000">"but we are naked."</span>a pile of clothes appeared on the counter well clear of his work and he waved one hand.<span style="color: #ff8000">"now it is your choice. these are hardly fancy clothes but they will fit you both well. a simple Draenei robe and an equally simple shirt and pair of pants for the lovely Nyarien."</span><br/><br/>Ophidian nodded and then opened the door for her with a smile.<span style="color: #ff8000"> "as you wish, but you are hardly a bother. i like helping people in any way they need. you know where the kitchen is, i will head up to my balcony, my other body will meet you in the kitchen where i am cooking. if i get too close to it i start having glitches. no one here will push you to have sex, Leena is a wanton slut but she has been warned and Zelina would never think of it, she is far too preoccupied with her adopted son." </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
