He had forgotten them when being seduced and tempted by her. But now he remembers. It had to deal with the fact that she was meant for the Thakur to be bred for her magical lineage and immaculate physique and fertility. The guards and he himself could use her but the penalty for breeding a slave meant for royalty was of horrible nature. The lucky fate would be death as a start. Running off with her would only guarantee such a fate should they get caught.<br/><br/>Darius rolls Lore Legal and gets a result of 19<br/>At 2021-08-21 15:41:49, Laughing Hyena (uid: 10552) rolls: 1d20a3 Result: 19 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=155159)<br/><br/>The fact that these details were overlooked probably showed the flaws in her cover story. But at the moment he wasn't thinking about that. He now had his reasons for why copulating in full was a bad idea even if she would hate him for not doing so. She can chose him all she wants but that is not her choice to make. It would be selfish of him because she'd be retrained until she was as soulless and detached as she was acting right now. And she'd get to watch her hearts desire die horribly just to drill the message in. It is cruel but it was the truth of the matter.<br/><br/>Of course he had no idea all of it was a lie to protect her from him claiming the bounty on the Empress.<br/><br/>The Hellhound rode alongside her making time to steer off and find some measure of nourishment and fresh water for the horses. Partially to stall for time and give himself time to think it over. The other was to delay the arrival by just one more day. Thus he looks for a potential paradise amongst nature. It might take hours off the beaten path for them to find this nourishment but it would be worth it in his mind.<strong>"Come with me. We are needing to feed and water the horses as well as refresh our own reserves."</strong>He however does indeed find what he was looking for in both essentials and beauty. A luxurious river of immaculately clear water with lush vegetation and a natural overhang that the water fuels into a small fall. It doubled as proper and clear shelter away from the cold and malicious eyes. This hopefully would give him the opportunity to talk to her about this. He might be able to sort this out.<br/><br/>Darius rolls a Survival Check and gets a natural 20.<br/>At 2021-08-21 15:55:08, Laughing Hyena (uid: 10552) rolls: 1d20a3 Result: 23 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=155160)
