Now, one of them is discussing something with her imp, while a small bird of prey is watching the imp - and everybody around - with suspicion. The imp is talking in High Talislan to the muse, seemingly objecting to something.<br/>The other one seems to be amused by the sight, watching them with her hands folded under her breast. The thin silk covering them is stretched additionally by her hands, making the sight even more intriguing. This is probably one of the reasons that makes the Sarista she was dancing with seem uneasy. His restlessness allows him to be the first to notice Adjia watching them with intent. As the music starts playing a faster, joyful tune, he touches the muse's sleeve and nods towards the girl.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=82056.msg4191359#msg4191359">Quote from: Petrosity on 28-01-2011, 12:14:42</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Aevala laughed. “You’re right. That is certainly a route I haven’t considered, but I know of these sailors and their many, many mistresses. Though, most of those women tend to not be as nearly happy as the husband,” she smirked, “Something about not having quite enough muscle to go around.” She shook her head, knowing that few cultures practiced polygamy in the same way of her kin. So many husbands, wives, and children in a family; it’s quite difficult to find where one Sarista family stops and another begins, but loneliness is something most Sarista never have to experience. <br/><br/>Aevala watched the other dancers for a moment, watching the tents spin as the air between them fell momentarily silent, although not completely as the music still flowed and laughter could be heard from every corner of the square. It was such a happy event, but she was starting to feel that she had overstayed her visit. She had a prisoner to attend as his real punishment would occur before dawn, or so were the last words she had heard from Adjia.  <br/><br/>She thought about breaking the dance as the conversation had slowed, but Lara reclaimed the conversation if only for a moment before Aevala was caught in her hold. Aevala took a not-so-graceful step forward as the slender woman slipped her arm around her waist and, naturally, Aevala brought her hand to rest on the enchanting woman’s shoulder. Aevala moved a little closer to Lara, her breasts grazing her partner’s as she attempted to become more comfortable with the shift in posture.  After a moment, Aevala felt more confident and secure with her steps thanks to added support. A bright smile grew across Aevala’s cobalt lips as she leaned towards Lara, whispering into her ear as Aevala’s cheek brushed hers, “This. This feels natural, wouldn’t you agree?”  <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Lara's breathing seems more ragged now. Curious, one could swear she wasn't straining herself a moment ago. Her movements were fluid enough that she seemed to be relaxing.<br/>"Oh, I agree completely, my dear", she whispers. "It feels more than natural, I'd say - it actually feels delicious!"<br/>She makes no motion to release Aevala despite the music having died down. The musicians are taking a short break to allow couples to rearrange or simply to get a few moments of rest. People around them are buzzing, invitations are being exchanged, and someone mentions the word "tantara" in passing.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=82056.msg4191724#msg4191724">Quote from: Leorobin on 28-01-2011, 15:17:56</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"I just have a quick eye..." Kalaj says as he hears the song's final beats where being played. He smiled as he felt Apple reacting to the hand on her back and, as she pushed back, he pulled her towards him in a last turn. He felt her lighter frame against him and the scent from before getting stronger. The current situation gave him a hint of what could it be, but he wouldn't be as naive as to rush what was going smoothly.<br/><br/>Kalaj eased his hold on Apple's body and pulled away slightly, without loosing the proximity. "I will say you are the best Apple I've met...So should we enjoy another dance or perhaps..." He leaned forward to whisper in her ear, allowing his warmth breath to tickle her neck. "a more private entertainment would fit best for the occasion." If Narina had a sense of smell as keen as his, she would be able to catch a slight musky scent from Kalaj, one that he had started to become aware of. <br/><br/>He moved his head back again and glanced into her eyes with a suggestive look. "Either way, this big wolf has found a charming prey. And certainly enticing as well..." He kept his tone soft and mellow adding some huskiness to the last phrase.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>The girl gigled again, without trying to free herself despite the dance having ended.<br/>"A big ans smart wolf that you are! Well, let me think. This ain't any easy choice!"<br/>And she thinks. And keeps thinking, until the musicians start a fast, playful tune. She seems to wake up from her trance then.<br/>"I can't miss this one! Dance with me, big wolf, will you?"<br/>She is already flying over the ground, or so it seems. It's a fast dance, in contrast to the last one that was calmer. It seems the Thaecian was ordering the music.
