Mayae holds the twins, gently stroking their hair, and making soothing noises. She holds them, feeling their fear leaving them a little at a time, and closes her eyes when she hears their question. Opening them, Mayae responds to Nian's question first, "I know of a place where you will be safe, if you offer the other drow there no harm. They are followers of Eilistraee, like myself, but it would require that you have to put up with their attempts to convert you. But I think you will find service to her more rewarding, I did. And what about the bow, or magic? Are you no good with those as well?"<br/><br/>Turning to Ilsit, she says, "I do not punish weakness, Ilsit, only the refusal to acknowledge it and attempt to correct for it. As for you duties, I will be showing you magic, to see if you can use it as well. Your other duties will be as before."<br/><br/>Mayae mentally sighes, she would not betray the trust the girls were just starting to show her by forcing them into her bed. Seduction, however, was an entirely different matter, and perfectly acceptable. She just had to keep her new impulses under control.
