The work of loading the cart was fairly pleasant now that they had overcome the initial problems between the two of them, and Amethyst, while very controlling and domineering, proved to be quite personable so long as Niala behaved. The Slayer was cautious not to reveal too much about herself for now. There would be no reason to hide anything from Niala once she was sure that the woman was utterly loyal and subservient to her, but the mornings events had cast a certain amount of doubt on the Lunar's loyalty. Still, she spoke freely about the less secretive parts of her life.<br/><br/>Amethyst explained that she was an orphan, a former slave actually. She had been captured by slavers when she was about fourteen, having lived most of her life up until that point as a thief. She had been young and pretty at the time, and so it was not long before she was sold to a rich Dragon Blooded. It was then that she explained the reason for her outburst of rage earlier, and actually started off by apologizing.<br/><br/>"I am sorry for my sudden fury pet, but there is a reason I was so upset. During my time as a slave, my master eventually decided that I was attractive enough to use as a sex toy. Such was his prerogative, he was strong and I was weak, it was his right to do what he wished." she said with a shrug. Amethyst's moral philosophy was... easy to explain if nothing else. "That didn't make it any less unbearable, and being a lesbian certainly didn't make it any more enjoyable. I felt no attraction to the man, and hated him for what he did to me. So, one day, I tried to kill him. I failed utterly, and even though I caught him by surprise and when he was at his most vulnerable, the difference in our strength and skill was simply insurmountable. He must have broken half the bones in my body by the time he was done, and he raped me again afterwards." She said with a bitter laugh.<br/><br/>"So, you can understand why I have... issues with being on the receiving end during sex. I am sorry for overreacting, you did not know, and I should not have blamed you for that which you could not possibly have known would bother me so much." she said finally. She neglected to explain how she ended up with a cock, or the fact that her failure to kill her master was what drew the corrupted Infernal shard to her, whereupon it made her an offer, a second chance. And she had taken it.<br/><br/>"So, now that that's cleared up, tell me a bit more about yourself. You have quite a number of children, the father of whom you said is now gone. How did you go from there to being a Lunar, seeking out old musty spells in the middle of nowhere?" she asked.
