Draiss was expecting one of the usual drider guards to answer the door, and blinked once in surprise at the eye candy, before answering. "I was told Lady Lloth required my presence as soon as possible."<br/><br/>The trip through the palace was... slightly unnerving, and it took nearly half the trip to figure out why. There were no demons, driders, or males anywhere he was led through, just female drow, most wearing clothing that appeared to be held up by static cling. His eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything, but he couldn't stop himself from shooting V'elen a thought, asking if it had done something he should be aware of. The only reply was annoyance, and that he would find out soon enough, which was more descriptive than it usually was. Before he could start prodding the amoral beyonder for information, he was led into the room, and managed to conceal his shock only through sheer willpower. He was NOT expecting the scene before him, but the idle satisfaction from V'elen was answer enough. It had done something, and once again he was going to have to figure out if it was salvageable.<br/><br/>He nodded politely to the goddess, before taking a seat on the cushion immediately beside her, taking the offered glass of wine, and deciding to be diplomatic, like a dragon coming to a tentative ally and instead of it being business, instead finding the tentative ally offering to submit completely to him. Made him wonder if it was a trap, though V'elen's smugness, if that was correct term, made him think it wasn't, though he wasn't going to enjoy the delicious eye candy slipping onto the cushion beside him, his escort from before. "I am always glad to oblige my gorgeous ally. What can I do for you, ma'am? Your aspect merely told me that you required my presence as soon as possible for a proposition of some sort."
