<em>Alise smiles the smallest bit, musing a little at the thought.<br/><br/>"Well... yes... I suppose most relationships are, at least for us. As for my celestial ancestors... well, I've heard a few theories that say much the opposite, in a way. That they were formed from what we would be, and likewise with demons and devils and so on. That without mortals, angels and fiends and rilmani and slaadi and all the others would have no true reason to exist, as we are the battlefield upon which they fight-- we mortals, more than anything else in the multiverse, can choose what we want to be and who we want to be.<br/><br/>"But I can see what you're saying about it being simpler for gnolls, in relationships. Is it usually just one, though, or...?"<br/><br/>She blushes, clearly embarrassed at her own train of thought, and reddens yet again more deeply as Celie compliments her.<br/><br/>"Urhm... Thank you? Well, then... are you... claimed by anyone, or the... claim-er, I guess, of anyone? And you, uhm... don't have to hide it, if it's uncomfortable. I mean, Alecto might mind when she wakes up, but, if you need to... I don't know... relieve yourself... I don't mind."</em>
