<em>Storytelling</em><br/><br/>Day 1<br/><br/>Kieri and Alwyn.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/6D60Uq7.jpg)</div><br/>"I won't mind," Kieri replied to Alwyn. "Your voice is pretty. I bet your laughter is pretty, too." She nodded when Alwyn answered about the markings. "Powerful marks both," she agreed. "The... assistants I will be leaving you with are skilled marks-smiths. Much better than me. Hey will do great work on you, if you're ever interested."<br/><br/>When Alwyn asked about pact-mates, Kieri paused for a bit. Though that might have only been because she was enjoying Alwyn's attention on her breast. "Maybe think of it as... being hungry and sleepy at the same time. Sometimes, even you yourself have needs or wants that conflict." She shrugged. "We choose. Because choosing is necessary sometimes. And there is no resentment between true pact-mates. But that's also why true pact-mates must be chosen carefully."<br/><br/>Kieri started smiling eagerly when Alwyn finally accepted her offer, but that smile froze at the end. 'Of her own will.' Did that mean...? She chose not to pry, instead hoping off of her chair and taking Alwyn's hand to lead her to her bed. She motioned for Alwyn to sit or lay, as she wished, and started to help her undress. "I'll only be touching you, as you asked for. Other than kissed on your lips, which, I think, you've already allowed," she said in a calm, reassuring manner. She was being extremely careful, mostly because she was aware of the differences between humans and goblins. With a goblin, she would not have bothered asking. Being kissed and touched and more was considered to be flattering, even if the attentions were ultimately refused. But humans were different, so she had to be extra careful. "If and when you want me to do more, tell me and I will. If you want me to do less, tell me and I'll do that, too."
