In many ways, Fable was right about Diira. The drowess had indeed honed the skill to slip from one personae into another with ease. It was time around others that gave her this gift - one of her race hardly ever found a place where they fit in and she did her best to catch on and read people. It had saved her life on several occasions. Luckily, Velvet's place was open and accepting of nearly all ethnicities and lifestyles. Yasdiira was safe here and that allowed her a certain sense of ease that would otherwise be missing whilst she plied her trade.<br/><br/>She smiled warmly back at Fable as 'he' said she deserved respect. A few slow nods came then as she listened intently to what he would and would not like. She chuckled when he said his chosen "safety" word, bringing a hand up to touch her lips. Something could often be devised of her clients from the words they chose for such things. She doubted that any word could give her a peek into the inner workings of Fable, though... she couldn't help wondering if the word he chose would seem oddly fitting somehow after the fact.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Well, then..."</strong></em>she began, her eyes flashing with a dark intensity. She slid over close enough that their thighs touched and brought a hand up to his face. A single finger went under the lovely carved chin Fable presented and lifted it up so that she could meet his mouth with a tender kiss. Pulling back, she licked her lips again, her eyes fluttering for a short moment as she savored the taste of him.<strong> "Now... I shall call you my 'pet'."</strong>She said, a corner of her mouth turning up in a wry little smirk.<strong>"And you shall call me 'Mistress'. Do you understand? If you do understand and willingly submit to me... stand and walk to the other door..."</strong>It was a small test of Fable's personality, but an important one. Now began Diira's real work at reading him - she needed to know if he would be compliant or stubborn. Thus far the former seemed the case, but his true colors would show through now that the chase was on.<br/><br/>
