Halae chuckled softly, her eyes glittering and pleased.  She'd seen the look, read how close Lauralana had come to saying yes.  And that victory seemed to suit the creature well enough.  "So you have a little fire left in you then," she said as she continued to rub and stroke against the elf, "I do need to get you home for Father.  Not that your seers will be able to find you with all that iron drowning your spark of magic but we can't risk having our prize rescued or killed."<br/><br/>Disentangling herself from the elf, she stepped over to smile down at Tristan while stroking her belly, which seemed to have already gained the first hints of swelling.<br/><br/>"Don't worry pretty boy.  She's not the only one who'll be useful to us.  I'll be needing your sweet seed again soon enough, and I'm just dying to introduce you to some of my sisters..."<br/><br/>The human closed his eyes and groaned, looking away until the spawn had left them, locking the door behind her.  Soon the jostle of movement started and with it the moaning from the thing that had been Anna resumed.<br/><br/>Tristan opened his eyes and looked tearfully up at Lauralana.  "I'm so sorry..." he whispered.
