Draiss raised an eyebrow as she leaned forward, but did what most sensible men would when Lady Lloth said the 'M'-word, and stalled for time. Unlike most though, he used a spell, shattering time for the room, practically stopping Lloth and her drow, while he started pointing out to V'elen what this offer would have Amaterasu do to both of them if she found out. And then he pointed out that eventually she would, because he was going to tell her. Better to mitigate the damage that way than try to hide it, which would make it infinitely worse. The two would eventually talk, and Lady Lloth would not be amused that Draiss had turned her down for a fox, and his fox would not be amused that Draiss had been playing on the side, let alone doing so well that his 'toy' now needed him. V'elen snapped something back in beyonder, a series of concepts too fast and complex to understand, but the gist was for him to stop panicking, it was working on the problem. The Spider Goddess wouldn't know about the time dilution on her, but V'elen did point out that she would be 'unwell' as it finished its corrections, though a minor headache should be all. Draiss reversed the spell, and blinked before leaning back and apparently considering the option. "An interesting idea, and a very flattering and welcome one, but I worry about some of the consequences. Perhaps it would be better to wait on that step, test the waters a bit? After all, you have waited millennium without taking a husband. Taking one now would be... unnerving for many allies, on both our sides."
