"Hey!  Hey, that's not fair.  I was just trying to get my money's worth.  From the Temple.  Who<em>tried</em>to cheat me.  Not very trustworthy people.  And here you are now!  Not a slave, just a welcome visitor."  She sighed.  "And they don't even know why they want you!  That's a laugh.  I don't know, girl," she decided.  "I choose to live life as comfortably as I can for as long as I can.  Maybe you're okay with dealing with the Temple and letting them boss you around 'til maybe they decide to help you.  That's your decision to make."<br/><br/>She leaned her head back and let out a groan.  Then she spoke up again: "There's no real way for me to lose on this, darling, so I guess I'm happy regardless.  I thought you might like the opportunity to work for yourself instead of working for them ... but that's your choice.  If your heart's set on the whores, though, maybe you'd ought to just drop that sheet and come do what the Elyrians do best, mm?"  Languidly, she moved from her position to sit back up in the chair.  It was bigger, really, than it needed to be for someone her size.  She didn't fill it very well when she wasn't draping herself across it.
