It was shameful, again, to admit everything... though somewhat better with the Priestess than with the students.  And still it felt so good to tell it... Yolande found herself warming up again, and tried to stifle it.  She could see that the Priestess was troubled too - oh, she tried to remain calm, to spare Yolande's feelings, but the adventurer was sure the other woman was secretly appalled at it all.  She could barely stay still....<br/><br/>But her sympathy was so real, and Yolande melted into the embrace, grateful for this kindness.  She needed the reassurance, and her words too were comforting - similar to Kabuno's in fact, which just showed their truth, since both of these wise advisors shared the same opinions.  Yet she hoped the Priestess could not sense the excitement Yolande still felt, at repeating her tale!  So close like this... and as the Priestess backed up she didn't quite break the contact, "unintentionally" keeping their breasts touching - Yolande had trouble meeting the Priestess' huge, kind, innocent eyes.<br/><br/>She swallowed, and nodded.  The King's wizards had performed some cleansing after the village ... but that was a physical cleansing.  Clearly, what the Priestess referred to, was ... more than just that, though it might be included to.  Surely it would help... it would allow Yolande to put these feelings properly behind her.  She nodded again.  "Of course, Priestess... thank you.  Of course I trust you, obviously... and I promise, I'll reveal nothing."  It wasn't even a real question... the Priestess was trustworthiness itself, Yolande would sooner disbelieve her own eyes than doubt her.  And the adventurer's face made it obvious how desperate she was for this relief, this absolution.
