"The heir to Astar'azen, you say? Well, let me be the first to welcome you to my house, and the noble Linellian kingdom." she says, sounding like a bored tour guide repeating a sales pitch for some roadside attraction. "It's a shame we couldn't set up some trade routes, slave. It's a pity your loyalties were broken. I've found copious amounts of gold, and treating your closest guards very well helps with maintaining loyalty." she said, pausing as she approaches the elven woman bound in chains. "Of course, a little fear never hurts either" she says, her hot breath steaming into the elves face as she took in the scent of the now cleaned elf noting the wide eyed gaze of terror that seemed to sweep her battle-ready countenance. She turns, reaching for Ambrosine. As she does so, her dress slips to the side, revealing an ornate dagger hidden between the fabric. She hadn't noticed it before due to the fall of the clothing. It wasn't much, but it was some sort of a weapon. Of course, there was her bullwhip too, but for the moment, that was sealed nicely in her paw, farthest from Solistrae.<br/><br/>"Ambrosine, give me the cloth, fool. You are too slow. She's only a slave..." she says, with a low growl of frustration, knowing her guests would be arriving within the hour and the meals needed to be prepared for the fires. She would have to drop this charade and have the trussed to the spit before they arrived. She couldn't run the risk of anyone getting hurt if she was to solidify her trade routes tonight, and foster some new relationships to strengthen her empire. On top of all this, she was growing quite hungry... and it wasn't very cultured of a lady to eat raw meat in her culture.<br/><br/>"Do you want to test my whip, child? I have no patience for sloths and your foolish dawdling. Be quick when you work for me, know that." she added as she turned back around to wash the slave's tender sex.<br/><br/>(I could've probably written more, but I wanted to allow Solistrae the chance to respond. I admit, I sort of assumed Ambrosine would allow the cloth to be taken from her, so I ran with that. If you don't want to allow that to happen, we can assume that she just grabbed the cloth from the water just or something instead.)
