Tamaska licked her lips nervously when Bahiyya stopped and paused for affect as she appeared to consider the question. The way those intense green eyes bored into her, raking in a possessive way over the curves of her body, made the heat in her belly blossom into a full-fledged inferno. Suddenly the room felt unbearably hot and her clothing both tight and unpleasant. When the grinning succubus told her the number of crew only to amend it after a moment to a much higher number the priestess' pale blue flesh blushed lavender from head to toe. The fact she was about to be paraded through them moments before they reached home and shore leave. This was more than her most embarrassing nightmares; to be paraded through such a crowd. Oddly she was not overly concerned for her well-being. She was after all property of the Baron himself.<br/><br/>the sudden, glaring light forced a hiss from between the half-naked troll as she was rendered blind and the sound hit her like she had ran into a wall. At first it was completely unintelligible but as her vision cleared so did her hearing start to pick out the sounds of voices shouting orders and information. Her eyes widened as they swept over the scene in front of her. The deck of the ship reminded her of an anthill. It was practically alive with the motions of the crew, so many bodies in apparent chaos yet all with a task to accomplish. She hands ball into fist at her side with the effort to not cover her chest. Her blush deepened even farther as the cool air tightened her nipples into even harder nubs, sending a jolt of pleasure through her. She tried to follow what was going on but soon gave up as even following one man in the swirling chaos was impossible. She had to respect the captain immediately for no other reason than he was able to keep the vessel running smoothly.<br/><br/>She was brought out of her trance as a group of small goblins slipped between her legs rather than go around. Her teeth found and bit her lip. She felt enormously embarrassed because she had no doubt that from that close they could sense her arousal. That and the feel of their pointed ears touching her inner thighs only serve to further tantalize her receptive flesh. The one that smiled up at her, ogling her bared skin reminded her somewhat of Emberspike's disguise, especially the lewd smile he flashed before hurrying along with his fellows.<br/><br/>The sight of a huge Ogre lugging around a cannon almost stopped her in her tracks but Bahiyya led her on, looking almost bored with the spectacle. Peering down into the ship's gun deck, she noticed the animals and the dancers but the cheers drew her attention to the gyrocopters wheeling in the air above the airship. The shouts and cheers and the horn blasts made her head swim. She saw the other two airships and the noise level increased more. Tamaska felt overwhelmed. In her whole young life she had never heard such noise or for that matter, seen so many people in one place. This ship made Dalaran look spread out and sparsely populated.<br/><br/>The fact that every eye aboard the ship seemed to find cause to look her way was not lost in the blushing priestess. She could feel their lust, see it in their stares. She heard comments thrown in her direction or watched the men comment to their fellows to produce loud bursts of harsh laughter. For once she felt happy she did not speak the human tongue. Her eyes slid closed, trying to block out the incessant stares as she was lead across the crowed deck.<br/><br/>When her eyes opened again, the attractive duo was nearing the raised platform of the commander's deck. As they took the steps slowly, Tamaska bit her lip to stifle the moan that threatened to slip out as the tight leather short ground against her nethers. She saw the three men but barely took in the other two as her eyes focused on the Baron's back. She forced herself to stand straight and tall as they approached. She jumped a little at the exclamation that escaped Emberspike when his eyes found them. Studiously, she tried to ignore the looks of the Captain and his first mate. Already the sweet trolless' breathing had quickened, causing her chest to heave which in turn drew the eyes of most who laid eyes on her.<br/><br/>Her breathing increased even more as Bahiyya's voice almost purred for her to kneel before the Baron. With no hesitation, Tamaska obeyed, dropping to the deck. She knelt with her back straight and knees together. Her head was up but her eyes were locked on the deck just past her knees. Those mesmerizing breasts, which were no doubt the topic of many discussions at the moment, bobbed softly as she panted softly. Bahiyya's proclamation had her cheeks burning with embarrassment. She watched him turn in her peripheral vision and her mind recalled in perfect detail the look of the man. Even though her eyes could not see his face, downcast as they were, she still felt the wait of his gaze and her shoulders slumped slightly because of it.<br/><br/>When the Baron bent forward the gaze felt more intense and she could not suppress a fearful shiver. The word from him had the girl trembling as did the strange allure he possessed. She could not deny the fear she had of his scrutiny, of not meeting expectations but still she felt a growing heat. Emberspike touting her merits rather loudly to the Baron, and other men in earshot made the blue-skinned troll squirm. The Baron's reply had her stifle a giggle, until she noticed the complete lack of humor in his voice. Suddenly the weight of his gaze felt all the more heavy.<br/><br/>Try as she might, she could not keep herself from shaking under that unblinking gaze. She softly cleared her throat before answering him.<span style="color: indigo"> "My name is Tamaska, m'Lord." </span>She replied timidly, but loud enough to ensure that he heard. She imagined that he would not be pleased at having to repeat the question. Remembering Bahiyya's warning she decided to use one short sentence and not risk punishment with unneeded words.<br/><br/>(Regrettably, I will be away this weekend. I will hopefully find time and a means to post but i cannot promise this will be the case.)<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
