When approaching the cloaked woman Xarces had little idea as to what to expect, would she try to run realizing she was found out? would she draw a knife on him or otherwise turn and fight? Or would she deny the whole thing, claiming it all to be coincidence, as well it very well could be. All of these scenarios flash through his head and more, yet with all this preparation going on in his mind, he finds himself quite surprised when upon seeing him she smiles and immediately closes the distance between them.<br/><br/>With her soft frame, and ample breasts pressed against his body, Xarces does his best to maintain his composure. Smiling charmingly to the woman as he responds "Always happy to please...miss Odette is it? I've no doubt you've a reputation, though I don't recall hearing your name in the information I received." he tries his best to explain as it seems perhaps she is mistaken as to the nature of his inquiries. "Done what exactly in public?" he asks<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"> "What could she possibly be thinking I was after? A good time? sex?" </span>he finds himself wondering as he looks to the woman pressing and rubbing her body against him. From this distance, there was no doubt she was attractive, sporting a very curvaceous figure, a pretty face and long dark hair. If not a bit rough around the edges, as her manner of dress mirrored the ragged cloak she sported, dirty and well used, certainly she did not have a knack for magic to take care of such cleaning for her. The slight shimmer of grease in her hair, and the cute little pudge sticking out around her middle which mushed softly against his own tummy completed the package.<span style="font-style: italic">"She's certainly pretty enough to make a living doing such things...a diamond in the rough of sorts." </span>he continues to think for himself, sympathizing for a moment for the woman before him.<br/><br/>Of course this was all assumption, and he'd need to clear the air first and foremost.....though before he is able to speak any further, she's pressing her lips against his own. The kiss was not an unpleasant one, despite the fact that her tongue seemed to find it's way over every inch of his flesh aside from where it should normally have gone during such an exchange. Xarces returning the kiss more out of instinct than anything, darting the very tip of his own tongue out to caress her own, and by doing so adding an additional layer to the flavor she was enjoying. She was trying to seduce him of that there was no doubt....though the actual effect was more a mix of arousal and uncertainty as she came on a bit too strong, much like a woman who'd been drinking might of done to him many times in the past after a performance.<br/><br/>When the kiss finally breaks, and she's pulling herself away long enough for him to speak, he responds. "I-I'm glad you think soo...but I'm afraid we may have gotten off on the wrong foot..." he begins to explain, his hands resting on the soft curves of her hips as she begins to lean in once more, parting her lips for what Xarces assumed to be another kiss. "Your really to kind...but all i really wanted to know is why you where following me." He's able to say moments before her lips would naturally contact his own again. Xarces doing nothing otherwise to stop her advances for the time being, as they where innocent enough, if not a little overzealous. But Xarces sympathized with her, and if she truly was the working woman he assumed she may have been, well this sort of approach would be necessary when dealing with the drunken sailors that frequent these parts.<br/><br/>Xarces<div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Sense motive to resist her attempt at seduction <a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/235339">Sense motive</a>: <span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+19</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">38</span></div></div></div>
