"Fuck!" Nadra gasped. Liliana eased the grip as she realized the demon became focused on something else. "Why didn't they build stairs... Sounds like we're stuck now."<br/><br/>The succubus stood up and swiped off the dust from her hand. "What would the Dark Lady want to know about the lifts, makes me wonder...<i>'We just wanted you to know that the lifts are working as usual,'</i>they'll say, eh?" She rolled her head and upper body around nervously, with an annoyed smile on her face. "I was sure we'd find someone today and get the hell out of here, but noo—o, it's always something."<br/><br/>Liliana had raised her head and was staring right at the succubus from behind. She listened to Nadra's whining for a while, but since the demon didn't notice, she tapped her gently on the shoulder. Nadra turned around. Then Liliana slapped her on the cheek.<br/><br/>"Ahha..." Nadra said and slowly took a hand to cover the area. "Do that again," she said and pushed her face closer to her mistress, who just ignored her. "Please...?" Nadra begged.<br/><br/>"I could really use that drink now," Liliana whispered, while gently holding Nadra by her throat. The succubus grinned from below the uneven bangs of her short black hair, relaxing her arms and shoulders to feel Liliana's grip tighter.<i>I know my place, and I like it</i>, was what the gesture meant.<br/><br/>Liliana signed the others to move along and lead the way. She released the demon, who relaxed her spread-out wings and began following her mistress in silence.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
