The idea of submitting- tempting as she made it- seemed to be the foolish path.  But what choice did he have?  His magical skills weren't strong enough to truly resist or send her back.  And submitting...well, that would at least buy him some time.<br/><br/>"Well...Cassandra.  It seems like there isn't much choice to make.  I could think of worse things than agreeing to your offer.  But you have to promise me that you won't get too greedy when you feed.  I've read that succubi aren't particularly known for their self control when it comes to indulging themselves.  If you try to play nice with me, then I'll respond in kind."<br/><br/>He wasn't sure if she did have the ability to read his thoughts.  If she did, then she knew that he was merely an apprentice and had no real choice in the matter.  what he did know was that he was in deep trouble.  Best to try and not anger her.<br/><br/>"So, Cassandra....you said you were a hybrid.  With a Dryad I believe?   I've never heard of such a combination.  Does that give you any abilities beyond that of a demon?"
