<span style="color: red">"Funny, but I'm not going to accept some random male to have a child with. That's not how we do things and I'm thankful my mother was so selective with her mate when she conceived me. We choose our mates based on what they can offer our offspring, be it scale color, brute strength, literacy, or even capability to think for itself... love has no place in among our kind, that's not to say it doesn't exist but it can lead to undesired results in the children, girls that end up being killed and used for food or boys who are used as guards or sent to work in mines or creating caves." </span>Nyarien shook her head and let out a sigh as she adjusted her grip on her son so he could feed.<span style="color: red">"Even if all that hadn't happened you'd still be risking a limb if you had tried, I don't take kindly to being touched while I'm sleeping unless it's by whoever I chose to sleep with. Perhaps that would sell most women but I'm not too convinced you offer enough to make me want to bed you, I find magic in bed to be more show than anything. We only 'coil' when we're distressed, scared and have something comforting to coil around, or are shoving our tongue down our prey's throat." </span>She scowled and shook her head.<span style="color: red"> "Religion? I've heard of those fairy tales you people follow, nothing more than destructive cults that give... never mind let's not go into that. I assume you treat others well and as you would want to be treated because it's the right thing to do and not because you're scared you're being judged by some non-existent being in the sky? You won't find a lover in me, the most you'll get is a... what do your people call it, friend with benefits, I think? When I'm not being a mother I think I could make time for you and your bed... assuming you can get me there in the first place."</span>She shook her head and smiled.<span style="color: red"> "I don't like to share my things, my little pirate whore was the death of many who wanted their first taste of a pregnant Human. But, that's not to say I can't be convinced your friends wouldn't be a good addition to your bed."</span>The naga stared at Leena for a moment and nodded.<span style="color: red"> "I know that look well, you may taste my milk."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
