The Sylph returns Lydia's passionate kiss, her chest arching to rise into Lydia's caress.<strong> "Ah well, my grotto might be used again at a later level, and perhaps we will meet again.  Maybe if you please me at that time, for as long as I truly need, I'll even tell you my name dear contestant. Until then, enjoy the 'gift' you took from me." </strong>The sylph's eyes glanced at the canteen, but the smile on her face said she did not mind.  She caressed the canteen for a moment, and her fingers left rivulets of water wherever she touched.  Then in an eyeblink, those droplets flared with a bright light, like sun bouncing off waves, for only a moment, and then vanished.<strong>"I've given you a little parting gift that might last longer than a simple canteen of water.  I hope you enjoy it."</strong><br/><br/>The sylph then slid into the water of her pool, only her head floating above the calm surface.  She smiled once as Lydia gave a wink before she dipped beneath the surface.<br/><br/>Knowing that she could backtrack and cross the mud covered room, but would again be filthy afterwards with the lust inducing mud, she chooses to exit the grotto on the opposite side that she'd entered.  A natural cavern that continues the pattern of lichen covered walls eventually fades to be replaced with one that is more foreboding.  As the glowing lichen vanishes, an occasional magical torch lights the way.  The torches, bolted to the walls, glow with illusionary flame that gives light but no heat, and are spread just far enough to create deep pools of shadow between them.<br/><br/>The tunnel twists and turns several times before opening into a roughly circular room that appears to have born much foot traffic.  While the edges of the room are natural with stalactites and stalagmites, the center seems worn smooth with the passage of years of creatures passing through.  Standing in the entry way from the passage she'd just come from, there are three other exits to the circular chamber, one across from her, and two leading off towards the right, with the left wall seemingly curving around in nothing but natural stone work and features.<br/><br/>Maybe this would be a good time to check the watch, and utter the name of her desired counselor, as it should show the way to her goal now that it had been cleaned off?<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Lydia's lusts are satisfied and her current lust is at 0  (unless you say it's higher, in which case it is) after her time with the slyph.  <br/>In addition her canteen is now full of sylph touched water.  As long as the canteen remains partially full of this water, it will automatically refill itself over time.  There is enough water to keep two contestants hydrated without draining this magical water.  In addition the water has VERY slight healing properties, not useful in combat, but relaxing and refreshing outside of combat, and potentially useful as a balm, salve, or antiseptic.  The downside is any use of the water will generate small amounts of lust, as it is still tainted with the sylph's orgasmic musk.  If Lydia wants, she can empty the canteen and refill it from another source to have a canteen of simple plain water.</div></div>
