had to say to the best of her ability.  Between her lingering pains and aches, as well as the building inferno of desire and lust running rampant through her body though, it was difficult to fully focus on Bo's remarks as her sex pulsed and her nipples twitched in time with her heartbeat that was almost audible to her own ears.  As such, Bo was looking very attractive for some less than consensual release in that moment, but Zerxel bit back that urge almost as quickly as it formed in her mind even as her red eyes fell on the muscular, if stocky, form before her.  The swell of her breasts, the shiny, oil covered skin of her friend's body, the curves of her hips....  The heat in her body had nothing to do with the sun above them, needless to say, but she did her best not to give into her baser urges then and there as she stood to her legs, shaky as they were still at the moment, and started towards the dogmen's camp, but not before taking a moment or two to try and loot the corpses they had made of their attackers already.  It was unlikely they'd find anything of use on the dogmen, but Zerxel wasn't about to pass up a chance to possibly find something they could put to use sooner rather than later.  Besides, it was better than to err on the side of caution anyway, especially after that almost botched fight on their part, in no small part thanks to her own amateur mistakes during the battle, something she was still kicking herself for, needless to say.  Whether they'd find anything on the dogmen or not, Zerxel would lead the way, as was her preference, towards the camp to take a look around for anything in the dogmen's former residence.  Not that the monsters would need it anymore since they were scattered about the ground outside of the park grounds, their innards having been spilled about the grass thanks to their combined efforts.<br/><br/>As for Bo's commentary itself though, when Zerxel had gotten herself under control for the most part, for the moment anyway, the rogue understood what she hadn't said aloud.  The same thought, even though it took a little bit longer for her to consider it given her current situation, wasn't lost on her, and Zerxel knew that that fight had been tougher than it otherwise might have been since they were working together as they were.  As such, when they discovered the obviously raped and tied up Shugar, the bugbear halfbreed, Zerxel's thoughts immediately turned to simply leaving her there to rot, if not harvesting her soul fruit for their own use, even if she was the weaker of their number if appearances suggested anything to her.  It didn't help any that like Bo, she found it hard to ignore the fact that Shugar was attractive and already tressed up in quite the enjoyable fashion, and felt her eyes begin to roam over the bugbear woman in open desire and need as a little, lust filled whimper ghosted past her partially open lips before she slapped a hand to her forehead and shook her head in an effort to clear her thoughts.  Just in time to slap a hand on Bo's shoulder and stop her in her tracks before she could get to the woman's side to no doubt free her.  She wanted to do the same, but they had other things to take into consideration, the least of which was the fact any treasure and resources they found they'd have to split between three people rather than two.  The immediate problem was the monsters themselves, which Zerxel was wise enough to lead with.<strong>"Hold it Bo."</strong>She said, and pulled Bo back so that they couldn't be overheard by Shugar as she knelt down so they were eye to eye.<strong>"We need to think about this before simply going forward with your obvious desire to free her.  I want to as well, trust me, she's done me no harm, and even made me feel welcome anytime we had the chance to talk, but you saw how hard that last fight was.  Those dogmen were more numerous than they should have been, and that was just the two of us, something you pointed out already.  Adding a third to our little group would just make things more difficult at the end of the day."</strong>She sighed, hating herself for what she was saying, but both her 'drow' nature and her own caution demanded she say something.<br/><br/>There was an alternative though, especially since she had no intention of dragging Shugar to the spiderlings, even as her pragmatic 'drow' side thought it was a very good, and safe, idea, especially since Shugar was already bound hand and foot for them to carry her to the warehouse with no trouble whatsoever.<strong>"We can't take her with us, unless you want to take her soul fruit and save it for a rainy day, but I don't like the thought anymore than you would, and dragging her to the spiderlings is far more repugnant to me for pretty much the same reason.  But we can at least free her, send her on her way, and perhaps even direct her back to the tavern where she'll be safe if nothing else."</strong>It was probably safe to say that they'd agree on that course of action, but either way, Zerxel would turn to Shugar's still bound form, and draw a scimitar blade before walking back to the post that secured the bugbear woman thanks to the ropes binding her in place.  With a casual flick of her wrist, she'd cut off the gag and let it fall before sheathing the blade with the same ease.<strong>"Before I free you, we need to come to an understanding.  Honesty would be far more preferable, just so we're clear.  I want to help you, don't misunderstand me or my friend or our intentions here, especially since you've been kind to me in the past, but we need information, and I might need a bit more since fighting those dogmen left me a bit worked up.  I'm finding it hard not to take advantage of both yourself and Bo, or a combination of the two, so I'd talk quickly.  So, let me be blunt and ask you how you got yourself in this situation, and whatever you can tell us of the immediate area."</strong>Depending on Shugar's answer, Zerxel would press onward on certain topics, but regardless of the woman's response, she'd hold true to her word and cut her bindings.  If Shugar was willing though, she'd be more than accepting of any....'gratitude' she'd be willing to give her.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">So, loot the dogmen, loot the camp, talk to Bo, talk to Shugar before freeing her, and perhaps get a bit of sex out of the way before moving on.  Lol seems a bit of a long list of things, but that's the gist of it.  ;D  It's good to be back!</div></div>
