"You're a beautiful woman, you could win an argue by just telling me I'm wrong and batting your eyes." He smiled a bit and gave her another squeeze then lead her back into the dinning room. "I wouldn't put too much thought into it hon, just focus on your family time and let your city run itself for a few hours." He pulled her out chair for her and smiled. "Well it's one of your priestesses, I doubt she'd fight you but I'm glad you're staying."<br/><br/>The dungeon, despite smelling of blood and death, was nearly spotless except for the two bloodied tables where Aellith and the Naga that had visited earlier were bound. The woman standing between them channeling shadow energy into them was completely unrecognizable by the shadow energies swirling around her. It took several minutes before the Paladin was even acknowledged, the woman channeling the spell until neither victim continued to squirm.<span style="color: purple"> "Oh... it's you." </span>She walked over to the paladin and pulled her hood, the woman immediately recognizable as a high ranked healer in the temple.<span style="color: purple">"I'm doing what I've done for the past... well, long than our 'goddess' has been alive. The succubus is my daughter, Aellith, I'm just keeping her here until her new breeders show up to get her. And the Naga, I can't pronounce her name not that it matters, she's a pawn of her Mistress, a loyal spy for Azshara. Ibara's Mistress' daughter does live... but she lives deep in Azshara's domain, she basically sent Vyre to her doom. She's innocent in all of this though, she's only doing as told." </span>The Elf folded her arms and looked back at the tables.<span style="color: purple">"You wouldn't report me for this, would you? I do it for the good of the city. Suspected spies, agitators, ambassadors, I rip their secrets from their minds and send them on their way or sell them off to be mind slaves for the Forsaken. Yes, we have people who can read minds, I'm one of them, but sometimes they're busy doing important things. I just keep things moving smoothly."</span>She moved over to the Naga and stroked her bloody forehead in a soothing manner that just made the Naga whimper in fear.<span style="color: purple">"So innocent this one, she doesn't even know the name of this city. I was going to let her go unharmed, but she said Ibara wants her to be given away to someone in the city to be useful. She's too skittish to be given away safely, I'll have to shatter her mind or kill her. I think killing her would be more merciful, what do you think...? Now that I think about it, I don't even know your name, but I guess I don't really care."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
