A mistress.<br/><br/>Miyuki gave a blink or two, making sure that she did understand Madame Daria's words. For the most part, she could work with what her employer proposed - Moving out to live in an apartment of her own, appearing several times a month in the mansion for work, and perhaps clearing her debt to the Adventurer's Guild with ways quicker than her current methods. Daria's public support for the arts was a great boon to Miyuki, the bard happy to know that her finances would be supported in more ways than she requested.<br/><br/>She could ensure that her debt with the Guild was settled in a couple of months, with both payment and 'services' to Master Flint. Also, she could visit Jax once in a while to please the halfling should he request for her company. Being neutral in the city seemed a good choice, and Miyuki would prefer to stay that way with a few connections here and there. Being completely aligned with a faction might not be in her best interests.<br/><br/>However, back to Daria's request...<br/><br/>It might be one of the few times Miyuki felt doubtful of herself. Being a servant or a contract hostess to someone was a service she often did, but being a mistress seemed to be on a different level of its own. Would she be able to continue adventuring? Continue doing what she might love to do while needing to keep her physique in top form while waiting for a man who might appear anytime? Perhaps, but Miyuki knew that her schedule would have to cater to his, and she might be fully packed once in a while. One way or another, something might have to be sacrificed. Would she be able to inform Etron and Sil that she might be limited in their adventures, appearing in short-term expeditions instead of journeys which might last till a week?<br/><br/><strong>"About that..."</strong>Miyuki began, feeling a little hesitant.<strong>"I am willing to take up the role, but I fear I might not perform as well as you expect. For me, I served as a courtesan, as a hostess to many customers. Never was I fully dedicated to one man, and personally I do treasure freedom in my schedule. Wanderlust, adventuring, and not simply being bound to a man or an occasional job... it's the shackles which made me run away from my homeland in the first place."</strong><br/><br/>Giving a little sigh, Miyuki turned to Daria. Her face however, instead of being doubtful and anxious, was one of slight determination.<br/><br/><strong>"I might be willing to try. A couple of sessions, and perhaps if I can be allowed time to strike outside of the city, to continue adventuring with my fellow friends, then I would be able to do my best with the assurance. Also, I will make arrangements to move out of my current lodging, to a housing of my own."</strong>
