Kae</div></div><br/>Kae frowned at what she considered a dismissive attitude regarding her concerns.  Under the Shonite advisor who had occupied this office previously to Lady Lise de Durandier, motivation had been far more carrot and far less stick.  She'd deflected the troops concerns until now regarding the firey red haired northern paladin who came from a far more restrictive mindset.  But in truth she'd hoped that Lady Lise would have listened to her concerns and been willing to flex a little bit on some of her points.  In truth she didn't think the paladin would change to fit all her, and her troops, requests.  But the idea of responding to a genuine concern with discipline instead of flexibility disheartened her a little.  Ultimately Sargent Kae didn't report directly to Lady Lise, she was an advisor.  Kae reported to the general, who reported directly to the duchess.  But the duchess had brought in this northerner to be the religious advisor, and so Lady Lise's words while not carrying any official weight, carried a lot of influence.  As long as Lise was going to oppose or support a strategy, it would be so, and no matter the arguments that Kae made to the general, they'd be so much hot air.  It had been mildly annoying under the shonites, but since Kae was not opposed to that faith, she tended to have few issues with that lack of control.  But now, under this Lihrit paladin, everything was much less smooth, much more rough.<br/><br/>This wasn't just a matter of a new dog in the yard trying to bark the loudest either.  Lihrit was a goodly goddess, which did jive with the militia as a whole, and lawful, which again generally fit with the militia's outlook.  However, crime was generally very low in Legalia.  It's people were well cared for by the duchy, employment was high, homelessness was low, and while there was a black market, it operated in very well monitored areas of the city.  A sort of understanding had come about with the militia that would shock most lawful types that as long as illegal trade was the worst the criminals got up to, the militia tended to look the other way.  For the most part of course, there were always exceptions.  But the state of the duchy was such that the Militia's main role was keeping the peace, and not asserting it.  A job they usually did by presence more than physical might.  But it seemed to Kae that Lady Lise wasn't interested in the perception of the militia, didn't understand how important it was in peacekeeping.<br/><br/>Kae tuned her attention back into the woman as she spoke about drinks, and managed a small polite smile.  It did seem at least that the paladin was trying to make an effort.<strong>"Well, yes, drinks are always a good way to socialize with the troops.  There's a local bar that...." </strong>Kae began to speak about ways that Lise could help ingratiate herself to the troops when she noticed the woman's hand under the desk moving.  The jerking motion of her shoulder and upper arm let Kae know what the paladin was doing, those rythmic motions could only be scratching an itch or self pleasure, and after they continued for more than a few seconds it was obvious to her what was going on beneath the desk.  Kae didn't think anything of it at first.  Hells, when there'd been shonite paladins in this office they would often sit on top of the desk and visibly display their pleasuring.  So Kae continued, moving beyond the matters of morale and trying to refocus back on the issue that mattered.<br/><br/><strong>"You need to understand Lady de Durandier,"</strong>she explained standing and pacing in a small tight circle,<strong>"It's not just a matter of discipline, it's a matter of how the militia is perceived.  Having mixed gender patrols means that a softer hand can be balanced with a firmer one.  A smaller woman partnered with a larger man, so on and so on.  I understand that the goddess Lihrit doesn't think..."</strong>Suddenly it hit her.  She turned slowly her eyes wide as they locked on Lady Lise's shoulder and arm as it bounced up and down.  Lise wasn't a paladin of shoni, she was a paladin of Lihrit.  She shouldn't be masturbating in her office, in fact, Kae wondered if masturbation was even allowed in the more restrictive faith.  But when the woman didn't even want to undress around other troops, felt uncomfortable being in the locker room, how was she doing this?<br/><br/>Kae dashed forwards several steps and looked over the edge of the desk to see that Lise wasn't rubbing her clit, as she'd expected, but instead had her fist wrapped around a thick and engorged futa cock.  She couldn't help but let out a gasp as her eyes met Lise's and she said in an accusing voice,<strong>"You throw my troops into disorder for the sake of decorum, but you're willing to jerk off right at your desk while you talk to me?  What would the priests and priestesses at your temple have to say about this?  It's a bit hypocritical, isn't it?"</strong><br/><br/>As for the fact that it was a futa cock, Kae wasn't overly concerned.  She'd known a few shemales and a handful of futanari in her life.  They were quite rare, but they did happen.  She just didn't have the personal connection with Lise to know that it was unusual for the woman.  It did, of course, explain why she never showered with the troops.  But still she felt a surge of red hot anger at the apparent hypocrisy that was being displayed.  Kae decided to press her luck.  Maybe she could get a little something she wanted for her troops if she applied a little bit of pressure on Lise.  What she was about to do wouldn't ever work if Lise was a shonite, but as a Lihrit paladin it just might....<strong>"Maybe I should go talk to the duchess about this incident?"</strong>
