Lunari seemed to blush a bit, her lavender face blushing a deep purple, as she turned her face away slightly.  But Mara chuckled and spoke up,<strong>"If you can promise me bliss like the other night, I'll be happy to help you enhance your magic any time you need.  Seems like a winning proposition for me in all regards.  Maybe Miss Lunari will wise up enough to join you, or us, in such frolics some day.  For she told me last night she thought of it as she watched us."</strong><br/><br/>Lunari hissed, her silver eyes whirling on Mara,<strong>"That wasn't to be told!  </strong><br/><br/>Mara waved it off,<strong>"Oh please, he saw you, he knew anyways.  I don't understand why you're so hesitant to embrace something so wonderful."</strong><br/><br/>Lunari shook her head, white hair flying around her as she explained,<strong>"Because I'm young for an elf, considered an adult, but only just by a few years.  When I was growing up, my father and mother trained me, drove one singular focus in my head.  Battle, to find the man who could reunite the artifact, and stop the demon.  To serve him and help him however I could.  Such a drive, for so many years, i chose to ignore some of the other coming of age ceremonies.  The ceremonial starlight orgies of the flowered clearings of my people.  The choosing of the first lover for summer solstice.  Even just the games that my kind play for fun, I eschewed them all.  It is a little uncommon for a woman my age to forgo all sexual pleasures like this, but not completely unheard of.  Especially when the elf is marked with a life quest the way I was, marked with a sacred duty."</strong>She bit her lip and paused for a moment before continuing,<strong>"But that doesn't mean that I was immune to such things, to such desires.  Just that I pushed them aside, pushed them down.  Then I meet the object of my quest and he's..."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"I embarrass my self with such base admissions.  Forgive me."</strong>Lunari's blush deepened and she kicked her horse, trailing a second into a quicker trot, calling out,<strong>"I'm sorry."</strong><br/><br/>Her horses quickly pulled away from the other two and Mara turned to Nirael and said,<strong>"You know if you chased her, you'd probably be able to convince her to lead the horses off the road and find a sweet clearing right?  I know she wants it, but needs to be pushed.  I'd be happy to watch the horses if I came across them at the side of the road unattended a little up the ways, waiting for your return from wherever the two of you had gone off too."</strong>
