we're going to do this, we're going to be on the road together for a while.  I've heard a lot of stories from both of my parents how close adventurers can become.  When you're with someone constantly, you can't help but wonder what it might be like... what..." </strong>She shook her head, her white hair flying in the morning light in an angelic halo about her head as she denied what she was thinking.  "What I mean to say is that we're on the run from a powerful demon and gods above know how many of his minions and hunters.  I'm well trained but not overly experienced outside of some small skirmishes with some orcs and goblins.  You're a mage, but not one that's used to fighting off demons or their thralls.  So the only chance we have if we get attacked is team work.  That means we can't ever be too far apart from each other.  If they seperate us, we'd be easy pickings."<br/><br/>She slid down off her horse and motioned for him to do the same,<strong>"We should walk them for a while, we can mount back up in an hour.  I'd rather not waste my dwindling money on trading for fresh mounts every day or two."</strong><br/><br/>She waited till he was down and they started walking, leading the horses before she continued,<strong>"I was trained in the unfettered style of fighting.  But more than that, my mother trained me how to use my feminine charms to maximum advantage.  I don't dress like this for comfort, well, not just for comfort.  But I've had more than one fight stop before it began just because I was willing to show a little flesh.  I got to see you naked, and it's very likely that you'll get to see me naked if we are together long.  Whether it's in combat, or if you decide to sneak a peak while I'm bathing and you should be on guard duty, or... well, whatever."</strong><br/><br/>She handed him the reigns of her horse,<strong>"So let's just get it over with now shall we?  You just keep your hands on those reigns and don't get any ideas."</strong><br/><br/>She sighed and touched one of the silver studs on her bracer.  The armor she was wearing shimmered and then vanished.  Her bracer changed from a pair of matching bracers to a single bracer that looked to be made of some silvery metal, leather, and feathers.  Her belt remained very much the same as did the shimering black cloth that was tucked into it to create her loin cloth.  Though her large breasts were now bared and exposed, showing Nirael the dark purple color that matched her lips.  She reached down and unbuckled her belt, setting it on the horse's back while holding the free flowing black cloth in front of her most intimate of areas.  Then with a deep breath that made her breasts surge forwards, she draped that over the horse's back as well.<br/><br/>She held her arms out wide, clad in nothing but a few spangles of jewelry, her bracer, and black leather boots that only came to about her ankles.  She did a slight spin, showing him her body in full.  Her rounded and plump yet undeniably athletic ass flashed in front of him before she returned.  His eyes drank in every athletic curve, including the hairless and thick mons between her thighs.  She reached over to her horse again, and touching a metal stud on the belt, suddenly had a scimitar in her hand.  Gathering up the black inky cloth in her left hand she stepped back and fell into a battle stance.  Then in an explosion of movement she launched herself into a whirling dance, her sword flashing out and the black cloak trailing around her body as she spun.  But magically the black cloth left an inky void wherever it flowed, an opaque wall of pure darkness, as thin as the cloth itself, and hanging suspended in air blocking all light and vision.  In a moment there was enough of the inky black wall to block Lunari from sight.  But before Nirael could call out, he felt the pointed tip of a blade pressed against his ribs.  Very lightly but enough to know that his guard had dropped.<br/><br/>He turned his head and saw her, a non moving trail of ink behind her and leading up to the cloth draped around her left arm.  She smiled, and her breathing was only slightly increased, causing her nipples which were definitely hard, to bounce up and down with each breath.  She gave just the slightest jab with the tip of the scimitar, grinning, and said,<strong>"If you were an enemy, I wouldn't have hesitated.  The blade would have been four inches into your lungs, a killing blow most likely because you were watching my tits and ass, and were distracted by the wall of darkness."</strong><br/><br/>She took the blade away then and slashed at the inky magical effect that floated in the air, and it dissipated as if it were smoke.  "It doesn't last long and any disturbance of it causes it to dissipate, but it's amazingly useful."<br/><br/>She snatched up her belt, and pressing the blade to it, her scimitar vanished.  She pulled the belt about her hips, and tucked the cloth between her thighs and looped it around the belt so that it once again hung as a loin cloth.<strong>"The point is,"</strong>she said as she touched her bracer, causing the illusionary armor to reappear around her breasts,<strong>"That you were likely going to see my charms sooner or later, and now we're even.  Now it's just not me thinking about that sausage you're packing between your thighs, but you have something to consider as well."</strong><br/><br/>She laughed and it was a musical sound, and she took the reigns back from him and resumed walking,<strong>"But, I don't know if it is a wise idea for us to...well..." </strong>She blushed again, purple coloring her cheeks.<strong>"I understand if you need to take a lover to bed.  I've no say over your love life, especially since your magic is apparently tied to it.  But I don't know if it would be a good idea for us, for me.  I've waited this long, I'm not going to hop on your shaft just because you asked."</strong>She mumbled, though he heard the last part,<strong>"even if part of me may want too."</strong>
