((You say that now, but how long can he resist I wonder?  Lol.))<br/><br/><strong>Giselle Do'Urden<br/>Time; Early Afternoon, Day 1<br/>Location; Library<br/>Tagged; Lionel</strong><br/><br/>"Domesticated I wouldn't be too sure on given how you finished off Ultima."  Giselle giggled in turn, not used to feeling so light in so long as she replied to the man's comment.  "Even so, pure Leo-Sapian or not as you call yourself, you have much more in common with the light elves than you realize and that's a good thing if you ask me.  And yeah, you might want to try explaining that last part again a bit there Lionel."  She chuckled again, getting only about a fourth of that last part right she hoped.  Thinking about it though, she did know that cats and dogs didn't live as long as humans since they aged far quicker than they did, so maybe that had something to do with it?  She couldn't be sure, not without further information preferably right from the source, but it wasn't really all that important really.  Even so, she was glad that he hadn't minded her little display of raw emotion, but it did surprise her that her letting her emotions run wild like that had been beautiful of all things.  That was the last thing she'd expected to hear, but it warmed her heart all the same.  Then he had to ruin the moment, for her own good or not she didn't rightly care at that moment, by trying to stop her own little rant about possible love between them.  "Forgive me for this but shut up for two seconds you overgrown furball."  Giselle countered, shaking his hands free from her shoulders before standing and meeting him at eye level.  "Yes, I realize that now's not the best time, especially after we've only just started to get to know each other, but if you had let me finish before going on your own little tirade about why it couldn't work out between us, SHOULD we even get that far, you might have heard the rest of what I had to say.  Gods, what is it with men that makes them wet themselves the moment the L word is brought up?"<br/><br/>She growled, but sighed heavily since it had also been partly her own fault.  Still, she wasn't about to let it slide so easily either as she continued, becoming passionate in her own way as the debate started in earnest.  "Emotionally distraught is the understatement of the century sure, but given enough time, now that most of the damage is gone thanks to you doing the seemingly impossible in such a short amount of time where Neria had only managed to patch up the scars over the course of a few months, you've all but erased them from my heart in a single prolonged meeting, maybe, someday you big overgrown cat.  Not right now, not tomorrow or in the next week, probably not even the next year will love play into anything we do from here on.  However, we can still be friends and still have the occasional fling from time to time can we not?  Forgive me for being sexually frustrated, but I haven't had my toes curled in over forty years, and again sorry for being so crude and forward, but that's the truth of it.  So, friends or not, I just wanted to get that out of the way before I had another reason to beat your ass."  She teased, only half way serious as she fell back into the chair, feeling oddly tired out after that tirade but better in a different way at the same time.  "Sheesh, arguing with you is hard work.  Even so....I do appreciate you turning down my rather non-existent advances out of the goodness of your heart Lionel....wait, did you say you'd sleep with me as much as you could if you weren't the man you are today?"  She blinked, a few times in obvious surprise as her cheeks turned black as pitch.  She.....had totally missed that somehow.  Still, she recovered quickly as she laughed at herself, unable to help it since she had most likely sounded like a right fool just then.<br/><br/>Recovering from her own embarrassment, she nodded to Lionel's request to finding a way to regain his strength.  She chuckled as he forgot what side of the debate he'd been on, and with all the raging emotions between them, she had forgotten herself.  It didn't matter in the end as she steepled her fingers under her chin, thinking on how best to answer him since she couldn't honestly answer for Neria, but she could at least point him towards the light elf cleric since she was rather good at obtaining answers where there were no other way to find them if nothing else.  "I do not wish to get your hopes up Lionel, because I don't even know for sure if she can help you out in your quest to return to full strength or not, but if anyone can, it's Neria Zathrieal.  She's good at working miracles, some of which she did for me when I came down off of that mountain after nearly dying at the claws of that evil red dragon.  Any other cleric wouldn't have even tried to heal the damage done to me, but she did when I was brought to her door, an inch from death and not even with it for the first month.  All I remember was the cold until my nearly severed spine was put back together, although how she managed it I'll never guess.  It took another two to make me whole once more through painful therapy and....rather intense nightly sessions in her bed since she does her best healing through her Sacred Prostitute training oddly enough given her own personal past problems she's more or less come to terms with, unlike me until recently.  I won't tell you what she's been through since that'd be a violation of her trust, but I will say that like the light elf I told you about before, she lost her entire family and clan in a single night.  The rest you'll have to get from her.  At any rate, I don't know how much you know about Sacred Prostitutes, Lionel, but I can assure you that despite the fact she has slept with a lot of people, she's in perfect health and that she'd be the first to agree with you regarding the whole love debate we had earlier.  She's a healer in every sense of the word, emotionally, physically, spiritually, sexually...., and she's quite capable to cover every need a person might have.  She's considered a sacred being where we come from, and her powers are not limited to talking to the gods themselves if a certain ritual is seen to first.  All it comes down to is asking her a question before anything physical occurs, and bringing her to release after twenty minutes of lovemaking, to put it nicely.  If you're willing to try Lionel, she'd be willing to help you if it's in her power to do so.  She has never turned down anyone that she feels is deserving as you would prove to be I'm sure.  She helped me after all, what more do you need?"
