His words had Angelique's smile become a bit on the sly side, as she allowed herself a chuckle while moving closer with the towel around her figure still, nodding her head to him in acceptance. Moving over to stand behind him, she leaned forth and let her firm, slender fingers rub along his shoulders, kneading on them firmly and rubbing the fingertips into any tense spot she could find. Brushing along the skin to the upper back and then onto the shoulders again, drawing her thumbs along his spine, she let out a warm sigh at the time as she touched him in a firm but caring manner, seeking to ease him in that way at least first. Her towel's slow slide a bit down her form to expose the top of her bosom as she pressed her hands down on him seeming both unintentional and yet unconcerning. She had walked before him entirely naked, and there were no places he had not seen, so she was not hiding her form out of a need as much as manners. The slow slip might not be planned, but neither was it a concern. Gradual exposure, should he look back at her that was.<br/><br/><strong>"We have been friends for a long time, we have enjoyed one another as lovers and explored things, and we live together as master and servant. Each of those is just part of what we are, I find comfort in that I get to work to my friend but also take pleasure in the fact when I enjoy the pleasures I am sharing them with my friend, while a little thrilled of the wickedness of being seduced by my master."</strong>Her expression a touch coy, though the chuckle ruined it quickly.<br/><br/><strong>"Your question for me is a little difficult. I don't really think that children should be a concern for a while, you have a long life ahead of you and should not be bound into anything. Even if they promise to take care of it, the thing might bother you. I would, as a friend, ask if they would accept keeping the option open, and enjoying the 'practice' as a close friend of their house, while not committing to having children with the ladies of the family yet. It is not my place to say as a servant, but as a friend I think you would make a great father, <em>eventually down the line</em>, but it certainly does not need to be anytime soon! There is magic to prevent it, and there is also magic to encourage it when it <em>is</em> desired. I think the elders of their house are actually a little... disrespectful. Trying to lure you in with sex, as if you were not getting enough already."</strong>She smirked a bit jokingly, but then continued.<strong>"I have not met them so I may be entirely wrong, but their reputation doesn't do them any favors, it gives them a dark look that makes me worry about what all is involved. I think the women you know personally are not at fault, but being used as pawns by someone playing the game with their lives."</strong>She let out a short sigh, leaning down her hands on his shoulders, her bosom, still partly hidden by the towel, brushing on his back.<br/><br/><strong>"I'd ask you to decline their offer on the grounds earlier mentioned, but respectfully and keeping options open for later, without committing fully. They have no need to leash you, no right to leash you, and the fact the ladies in question wanted to give you a warning in advance as well suggests there may be more to it. I might just be paranoid, worrying too much, but I think a polite no would be best. We have aided them and work with them in a deal, it won't break a working relationship, but if they are pushing on it then its best to recognise the signs when we <em>can</em> back out of things."</strong>She hesitated a bit and whispered to his ear.<br/><br/><strong>"Personally I'd much rather you make the Queen happy and find happiness here at home with me and the others... I believe Rosalyn is looking at you here as well, and while I cannot say much, I think any intimacy with stipulations like with the d'Saari might not be worth the trouble right now. If you wanted a little something different I believe our halfling friends would be happy to... ahem... accomodate you..."</strong><br/><br/>At this point, she moved to straddle his back lightly, her legs over the bench, her body a bit above his own. One hand stroking on his shoulder and brushing on the back of his neck. Another down stroking on his thigh and rising up alongst it, starting to slip its way between him and the bench, seeking out for more for her graceful fingers to massage.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">I am open to go a lot of different ways about the d'Saari situation, it may be honest offer, it may have something behind it... it can be accepted and largely ignored for a long while, or it can be declined. I brought it in but we can write it back out fairly easily, it may have some consequences but good comes with the bad at times and I hope it wasn't rude of me to bring the possibility in the story in a fashion. Nonetheless, whether or not Angelique's ideas are entirely wrong, or getting dangerously close, is open for us both to think on.</div></div>
