<strong>Lilith, Being Rejected by Alwin, Disarming Herself for Victor</strong><br/><br/>“Oh. Pity. Perhaps another time, then.” Lilith stood there in front of Alwin for a moment, her arm still held out awkwardly towards him, before she allowed it to slowly drop back to her side. A puzzled look crossed the lovely young woman’s face. She hadn’t anticipated rejection. Clearly, she’d broken some rule of social decorum. Or perhaps misunderstood one of the rules. She resolved to review her various information files regarding greeting and salutations later on in the evening, as her hours of prior study in her mansion evidently were flawed.<br/><br/>Lilith felt her cheeks burning a little as well. Which, again, puzzled her. She didn’t detect an increase in temperature, but she suddenly felt uncomfortably warm.<br/><br/>The conversation between the lovely worker behind the desk and the gentleman seeking employment became a little louder. Lilith realized that they were speaking about her. And, specifically, her armaments. She merely nodded as the gentleman – named Victor, based on the snippets of conversation that she’d heard – came over, and asked her to accompany him to a nearby office.<br/><br/>“I understand completely,” Lilith said to Victor. “Please know that I do not require privacy for disrobing, I have no issue with removing my clothing for you here in the Lobby. However, since doing so might offend others and be considered of poor comportment, I shall do as you require.” She walked calmly over to the office, and waited for Victor, allowing him to close the door.”<br/><br/>“And I do apologize profusely,” Lilith said. “I didn’t consider the inappropriateness of bringing personal armaments into the Pleasure Dome. I always carry them when traveling, but that is of course against Lee Chang’s rules. Please convey my pardons to Mister Chang for my unspeakable rudeness.”<br/><br/>Lilith pulled out a wooden chair from behind a desk. She placed one foot on the chair, and hiked up her skirt, revealing a long, slender, well-toned leg. A large knife, held in a leather sheath, was strapped to her pale, creamy thigh. “My dagger, of course,” Lilith said. “It was forged in Japan for me, please take care. It’s extremely sharp.” She removed the sheath from her leg and placed it on the table. “I confess that I do not know how Tom detected it. He has extremely good vision. I may have to examine him.”<br/><br/>With a sigh, Lilith removed her foot from the chair, and put her other foot upon it, keeping her skirt hiked up, and revealing her other pale, creamy thigh. A strange looking chrome gun in a black leather holster was strapped to her other thigh. “Attend to this carefully,” Lilith said. “The gun is of my own design and manufacture. The bullets are glass, and filled with flesh-eating bacteria. I’ve injected myself with appropriate counter-measures to resist the bacteria, but I cannot assure your safety if you drop the weapon.”<br/><br/>Lilith stepped off the chair, and gently pulled down her skirt, brushing herself off. “I believe that covers all my armaments,” she said pleasantly. Abruptly, she frowned. “No, my apologies, I have forgotten one.”<br/><br/>She reached behind her back, and quickly undid the laces of her dress. Shrugging off her sleeves, Lilith allowed the front of her dress to fall away, completely revealing her round, luscious breasts to Victor. Her breasts had large, soft pink nipples, and a small silver pendant hung from a silver chain between her quite ample cleavage. Idly, Lilith undid the chain, and handed over both the chain and pendant to Victor.<br/><br/>“I haven’t given this a name yet,” Lilith said. “It creates a self-sustaining highly exothermic reaction with significant concussive force. Suffice it to say, it can level a city if used improperly.” She stared at it, puzzled for a moment, her dress still pulled down to her waist. “For the life of me, I can’t remember why I thought to bring it here. No matter.”<br/><br/>Lilith pulled her dress back up, and started to relace it. “Is there anything else that you require of me?” she asked. “I would ask you to accompany me to the area known as the Playground. But I imagine you need to properly store my armaments. That, and as you are now employed by Lee Chang, it would be inappropriate for me to consort with you while you are on duty. Unless, of course, I am mistaken?”
