She grinned at his comment and nodded. “One regular non-magically inclined man. You certainly blew him out of the water.” Gwen watched as he gathered the towels and offered him an appreciative smile when he cleaned her up as well. The intimacy of the act was almost enough to make her blush like a schoolgirl.  It was odd this arrangement, where she had first expected just mindless ruts in the fur instead she was treated to an experience that actually made her want to help him gain back his land.<br/><br/>Supporting herself on her elbows she considered his question. “I am honestly not sure.” Was her final statement. “Had you been a normal non-magically inclined man we would have to before every major ritual. The energy is not as potent. However because of your heritage…I won’t know for certain until I complete the first set of spells and rituals needed to reclaim the mines.” She paused for a moment yawning widely before continuing “Given the amount of work that needs to be done, gathering old allies, bringing together scattered mountain clans, the mines, and the forest, your river ports alongside the defensive spells on armor and attack spells on weapons. I will hazard a yes we will eventually have to have do another power exchange. I just don’t know when.”<br/><br/>The energy he supplied her with allowed her more flexibility with her spells. Rather than perform obvious acts of magical sabotage she could afford to go a bit more subtle. She was looking forward to testing the limits of her imagination. Odd shadow creatures, hallucinations, demonic chanting. It would be easier to drive them off if they feared it was cursed rather than causing natural mining accidents. After all she couldn’t reverse the accidents and the mines needed to be accessible for his people.<br/><br/>“If I’m to play the part of your mistress I’m going to say that we’ll likely have to have sex more than once a month or however often I’ll need to do the exchange.  We can do that without much trouble, no runes no power exchange. It’ll just be a regular non-glass shattering coupling. Assuming that’s something that appeals to you. I know this arrangement was not ideal.”
