As the trio went through the streets, they noticed that they gained several looks, but for once they were not the sole focus.  Vii, as a forged, was apparently rare enough to garner his own looks from those who were not overly familiar with the living golem like man.  But it was Stephanie's question which actually caused the forged to stutter almost missing a step,<strong> "Why, how curious that you should ask that question.  For after what Rohnan told me, it was exactly that subject on which I had wished to discuss." </strong>He held up one massive three fingered hand and said,<strong> "one moment please," </strong>and stepped aside into an alley way where a small boy was resting in the shade between two large buildings.<br/><br/>The boy seemed to be working on something, mending a bit of cloth with both hands a needle and thread in his mouth as he worked.  He looked up sharply as Vii approached, tense like a cat, but quickly relaxing when he saw the warforged,<strong>"All right then Vii?"</strong>the boy asked.<br/><br/><strong>"Any news?" </strong>Vii asked simply, to which the boy shook his head, a somewhat frustrated look on his face.  Vii made a slight clucking sound and fished into his pouch before dropping a single shining copper into the boy's hand,<strong> "All right, well, you know how to find me if you hear anything." </strong>The boy nodded and the silver piece dissappeared almost instantly before the boy returned to sewing or mending whatever it was he was working on.<br/><br/>Vii returned to the girls and said, "<strong>Anyways, I've heard rumors of my kind who have had... modifications, to their body so that they might serve a human, or humanoid, sexually.  My time of return to the forge is less than a decade away and I have never experienced this.  I would know more about it before it is time for me to return to the forge.  But while I understand the mechanics, I do not understand the need, the desire, the drive, that comes with the act as a non-procreative experience.  I understand the desire to sire offspring, certainly, but to engage in the carnal act for pleasure sake, I am lost.  I was hoping you could shed some light on that subject for me.  More to the point, I have little experience with worshipers of Shoni.  Why does the goddess wish her followers to engage in carnal bliss?  Is it true that primal acts can actually fuel magical ability?"</strong><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">The sisters are educated enough to know what he's talking about with the forge, see the 'life cycle of the warforged' on the ooc thread:<br/>https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=210179.msg10327208#msg10327208</div></div>
