"You~!" Lady Gwyneth's startled, outraged gasp was quickly smothered, as she realized...There wasn't a *thing* she could do about it! The lady knight shivered, not entirely in fear, at the gentle caress of the minotaur's hand down her sleek back- Gods, if the Order knew...She'd be expelled, at the least. Imprisoned, at the worst! Oh, her exemplary record would protect her, but the shame, the disgrace...There was no room, after all, for those who consorted- As<em>literally</em>as she had- with monsters...<br/><br/>"Y-you..." she stammered, the knight's icy blue eyes wide with first shock, then slow-simmering realisation...And resentment, that she'd been outmaneuvered so expertly, so thoroughly, there was nothing she could do except say...<br/><br/>"You have a *deal*," she gritted out, through clenched teeth, tensing guiltily...Wondering if, at any moment, the blessings that sustained her lovely form would be withdrawn! Making a promise like that went against anything she stood for- But there was a chance, the smallest one, that Gwyneth could make it out with her reputation intact-<br/><br/>"My word-" she began, matted blonde hair a tangle mass, still tasting the bitter, salty aftertaste of what she'd<em>swallowed</em>"...Is my bond, but if you *ever* reveal this..." Lady Gwyneth hissed, her eyes narrowing- Leaving the threat unspoken, because she would *certainly* slaughter them all...But not before the damage had been done! Her eyes flicked to Adelina, almost imploringly...Hoping the Amazon could think of some way out...
