Aria wouldn't be able to miss the slight shiver that trailed down Rose's spine at her touch, the way the shifter licked her lips at the mention of the tiefling's tail, or the look on her face as mention was made of ropework and keeping her quiet.  She looked as though she'd be purring like a cat if she were capable of such, and not just from the 'petting' she was receiving, either.  Much as it had been during the party with Luneth, every fiber of the tigress' being was telling her to pounce on the delectable little morsel before her...  And much as it had been during the party, she was finding it rather difficult to resist those instincts and urges.  The bed was so close by, so tempting...<br/><br/>Ultimately, one last glance at the bed was all it took for her to make up her mind.  Crouching slightly, she swept her companion off her feet, just lifting the other woman right up off the ground, and began to carry her over to the bed, arms placed underneath her legs and back.<br/><br/>"Lover, you always know<em>just</em>what to say to get me going..."  She whispered, leaning in close for another kiss as they made it to the bed.  "Especially when you talk about using ropes.  Gods, you make it sound so hot...  You've really got me wanting to try it, now!"<br/><br/>And then came the actual kiss, her lips pushing forward, closing the last few inches of space that had seperated them while she spoke.  She let her eyes drift shut, opened her lips a little, practically inviting the other woman's tongue in...  And then triggered her teleport, snapping them downstairs and into the room they had defeated Astos in.  She didn't stop the kiss quite yet, however.  No, only after several seconds had passed did she let the other woman down again, letting her stand on her own two feet once more.<br/><br/>"...The sounds of battle down here didn't seem to attract the golems' attention upstairs, earlier,"  She noted, taking a deep breath to try and calm herself down a little.  "So I'd imagine a few moans and whimpers might go unnoticed as well.  Granted, the mood in this particular room is a little... 'dead',"  And she glanced around at the corpses of their slain foes as she said that.  "But I don't think the other rooms will have the same problem..."<br/><br/>And indeed, they didn't, though the first two rooms they found were the kitchens and a larder.  No real items of magic in either, merely food and the implements to properly prepare it for consumption, and since a number of the latter were sharp...  Well, kitchens could actually be interesting places to have fun, really, but ultimately, neither really seemed all that inspirational at the moment.  Perhaps if one or the other of them had been hard at work preparing food...?  Hmm, yes, with a cute little apron, that would have worked.<br/><br/>Of course, then they came across the lounge/game room, and it didn't take Rose's well-trained eyes very long to pick out something very interesting...<br/><br/>"Well well, it looks like there are some sweat stains on this particular couch..."  She noted, looking it over.  Turning to Aria, she grinned.  "And it seems to have been at least two people, at that.  One was either sitting or laying back, keeping themselves propped up on their elbows, and the other person was on their knees, close enough for it to be a fairly intimate position for the both of them.  The other couch seems clean, though, and from the looks of things, no one's ever been bent over the billiards table, either...  Or at least, not recently, anyway."<br/><br/>The table in that smaller secondary dining room, on the other hand...  Well, not only had somebody apparently been bent over the table enough times for the sweat-stains to soak into the wood, but the markings on the carpet suggested that they went underneath the table fairly frequently, as well.  Pointing out as much to her companion, she found herself wondering just how often Astos took his dinner with 'company' like that...<br/><br/>"...So, been daydreaming about any more 'possibilities' for these last few rooms, my dear?"  The shifter questioned, leaning back against the table.  "I'll admit, I've thought of quite a few, myself."<br/><br/><br/><br/>Oh really?  Then it seems as though Astos has something of an eye for detail...<br/><br/>Yep, that's certainly fine. ^^ And since you didn't mention them, should I assume that there's nothing else magical available in any of those rooms?<br/><br/>Hmm.  Knots and gags...  Well, Aria clearly knows how to have a good time. ;D<br/><br/>Sorry if the quality of this post takes a nosedive in a few places, by the way. ><; Various people kept repeatedly bugging me about different things while I was writing it.
