The three 'hyenas' as Deimia called them looked at the demonic-looking woman when she called out to them, one still trying to wrench her beer mug free. They exchanged glances before answering, looking a little reluctant to deal with Deimia but the situation was too funny to keep quiet about it.<i>"We beat her at poker and she lost our bet."</i>The first says, shifting her legs to hide the bulge in her trousers.<i>"We cheated."</i>Snarked the only girl not afflicted by a tent in her trousers.<i>"We played creatively!" </i>The first says defensively, while the third finally freed her drink and spoke. "<i>You're only calling it cheating cuz you got a crush on her, Nanya." </i>The girl's cheeks went red and she elbowed her companion roughly.<i> "Shut it, Grinn!"</i><br/><br/>Just as they were about to tell why they could afford to piss off a dragongirl, the guildmistress arrived and answered for them, rendering the trio silent while feigning innocence, though they acknowledged Lenova's words with approving nods. Your guildmates were like your sisters, after all. Nyx seemed unaware of about all the talk going on behind her back as she returned and delivered Deimia's fruity bowl of snacks, but she stopped dead in her tracks when she caught that glance from Lenova, standing there as if frozen.<br/><br/>It was a strange look, but even stranger would be Nyx's reaction. Nyx had accepted Loivissa telling her to shut up quite reluctantly with a low growl. That mere look from Lenova however, and Nyx carefully folded her wings, hiding them behind her back while averting her gaze and looking pointedly at the ground. While most would consider Nyx's reaction weird, those experienced with animals would realize Nyx was submitting to Lenova, surrendering and making herself appear as small a threat as possible, especially with how she bowed her head cowed.<span style="color: red"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">"Guildmistress Lenova. Still calling this band of mortal monkeys a guild, I see. Any reason you came down here?"</span></span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
