Well, that explained a<em>lot</em>. Tialyn colored, slightly - the faintest blush to her cheeks, as she shifted in her seat! "You do what you have to do to get ahead," she offered, by way of explanation - A little defensively. "After all...It's all about the<em>prize</em>, isn't it? Besides - It's not like any of this is *real*...Well, real in the way that<em>matters</em>, at any rate..."<br/><br/>Though from the way she glanced to the side, an embarassed cough teased from her lips...That was hardly her main concern. The truth was...<br/><br/><em>-It felt *really* good...</em><br/><br/>She blinked, shaking her head to clear it! "A, anyway - That's besides the point. What you're doing...I suppose that's rather admirable, too - It all depends on how it works out in the end, I guess."<br/><br/>As Kendra rose - Her form dissolving, back to wherever she'd come from as she left the tavern! - Tialyn drained the rest of her ale, swaying to her feet...About to take her leave, when she felt a hand on her slim shoulder-!<em>Who...?</em>she half-turned, a little gasp teased from her silky throat...To find herself face-to-face with the Eromancer! Instinctively, her gaze slid up, up and over the other woman's *very* exposed form...That *very* skimpy costume clinging to her like a second skin-! That just made things even more distracting, as the gorgeous redhead leaned in close...<br/><br/>"Thanks," Tialyn breathed, as the scent of her perfume swirled around her - It was an effort to resist, to pull her eyes up to meet the woman's gaze! Could that be<em>true</em>? Was Kendra *really* thinking of betraying her...? It *was* possible, she supposed - After all, there could only be<em>one</em>winner. But the swordswoman had seemed honest enough, at first glance...Still, you couldn't tell - Especially when there was *that* much money on the line-!<br/><br/>She was tempted. So very, very tempted. Her luscious form stiffened, just so...A hot shiver racing up her spine, as her big green eyes slid up, up and over those virtual curves - Before Tialyn drew back, though it was a clear struggle to resist! "I appreciate it, but I have places to be," she husked...Though her hand slid up, all the same...Cupping the Eromancer's luscious ass, giving it a *squeeze* - As she leaned in, her lips brushing the tiefling's ear!<br/><br/>"But who knows?" Tialyn purred, low and sweet - "We might meet again<em>later</em>...In the *flesh*, this time!"<br/><br/>And *then* she really has to pull away...Fighting down the thought of how *popular* a lusty encounter like that could make her! She has to focus, has to keep her mind on the job...Otherwise, it'd be *way* too easy to succumb to the temptations in waiting...!
