Krathen smirked at Anastasia, letting his aura relax a bit so it wasn't all focused on her. "Oh I don't know Anastasia. You may not have been<em>needed</em>but I'm sure I could find a use for you." he replied, his tone deliberately suggestive as he ravished her with his eyes. "I have missed working with you as well my dear, and look forward to seeing you in action next time. And fear not, if you have been bored back home, I'm sure we have ways of... holding your interest." he purred softly. Krathen had a profanely sexy voice, the kind that sent tingles up a girl's spine.<br/><br/>The Lord of Desire then smiled warmly as he felt his consort's aura, turning around with a pleased expression as she made her way over to him. "Kallysta, how considerate of you to come all the way out here." he said with a smile, slipping his arm around her waist and gently leaning in to kiss her. Kallysta was the closest thing Krathen had to a wife after all, he was certainly happy to see her. "Yes, little Lucy decided to sneak out again to come and see her daddy." he replied, reaching down to fondly stroke his daughter's hair, his tail slipping between Lucy's legs to gently stroke the lips of her pussy.<br/><br/>"Yes, things went quite well, we have captured the city, we took few casualties, and aside from some fires that the mortals set to try and deny us their supplies, the city is mostly undamaged, and will serve as a strong foothold in this part of the world. Our troops are currently attempting to put the fires out to the best of their abilities. We probably won't be able to salvage more than half of the usable supplies in this city, but still, it's a good gain." he explained casually, clearly none too concerned. Krathen valued Kallysta for a number of reasons. She was a challenge. He could bring her to her knees, force her into submission again and again, but she would never lose that fire, that independence. She was very spirited, and he liked that. Plus she had grown quite skilled at the balancing act that was being his consort. She knew enough to play a little hard to get to keep Krathen interested, but not too much, lest he grow weary of her. It was a delicate balance, and one she maintained quite well.
