Laelia stepped up closer to Aya as she was backing up against the wall, eyes peering into those of the tengu.<br/><br/>"Come now, it is how things have to be done. Some keep small gems hidden between their toes or in their mouth, so I must check those places. I must run my hands along your arms and legs to ensure there are no hidden things like invisible items. I must carefully run my fingers through your hair and feathers, searching for - for instance - small concealed blades. And yes, the two most common places people would hide money or gems or even other, stranger things...<br/><br/>Don't worry. When I search those places, I will lubricate my fingers so it is as comfortable as possible. But it<span class="bbc_u">must</span>be done."<br/><br/>She placed a warm hand on Aya's cheek, trying to show some sympathy.<br/><br/>"I'll admit to enjoying it, but that doesn't change the fact that I have to do this. Even if I didn't want to, there would be no choice. If you resist..."<br/><br/>She sighed.<br/><br/>"If you resist, there are restraints I will have to use. And then I will be required to punish you. Instead of my fingers, I would use... well, in the cupboard there are<em>toys</em>, larger, rougher things to insert into your body. Or perhaps I would need to spank you for your resistance. Please don't make that necessary, just assume the position so I can search you without a problem."
