The elf was quite tall, two-thirds of a foot taller than she, but Kass eagerly observed the way the ribbons shifted and stretched upon her form, silently approving of her lovely body.  She returned the kisses in kind, adding a lick upon her cheek at the end, just because she could and wanted to and no more, and after she grinned, chuckling a bit; yes, she was quite young, six months a real woman in more than one way, and yet she had already had more lovers in those six months than many would have in their lifetime.  Yes, she was quite a<em>dangerous</em>woman to associate with...<br/><br/>But niceties were but the first step of the conversation, in many ways but a formality, for she had been called for business, not pleasure.  The elf, Saturnia and such a pretty name, informed her that the artifact was to be found in Siwa in the lands of Faerun, a completely different plane and the plane of Kass' home state of Calimshan.  If she recalled correctly, and it had been many years since she'd been to the Prime Material Plane, Mulhorand was on the other side of the continent... just south of the infamous land of Thay.  This did not deter her... well, not yet anyway, so she continued to listen, and in many ways enjoyed the refresher course in religion and history.  Had she not met Kyna, a woman for whom she held nothing but love, friendship, and the utmost respect for, Kass could have easily seen herself as one of Sharess' priestesses, though now she knew the value of love and beauty beyond mere lust, and despite her obvious amount of lust for women and, now and again, a man, she wished to find a woman she could spend the rest of her life with... so long as she too knew how to 'share' like Kass did.<br/><br/>It was interesting that the statue was of a Sunite hero, the famous Adon of Sune no less.  What it did, however, was another matter, and it only widened her grin.  Suck off a statue to receive a blessing from the gods, whether the source be Sune or Sharess made unclear?  Wonderful, and Kass wouldn't have minded trying it out just to say she had... but that seemed to be the artifact that was missing, obviously.  In the last day too... which means that whoever it was had come in, swapped the statue out, and taken the statue to... somewhere.  It made her think... who would want to steal such a statue?  It had to involve some level of wizardry though; how hard would it be to drag such a statue in, replace the real one with the fake, and drag it out without being seen?  However, that meant it could be anywhere...<br/><br/>Her head turned sharply towards the new voice, and as the woman walked out from a back room Kass' eyes quickly ate her body up.  A redhead... Kass liked redheads, and her hair was redder than most.  Older, but not too old to be called such, hazel eyes, and while her outfit was more practical than flattering like Kass' own, it did have the effect of accentuating her curves, and dammit did the woman have some<em>lovely</em>curves!  Kass licked her lips; this woman was truly and utterly<em>delicious</em>... and the fact that she had been 'relieving' herself only made the young human want her more.<br/><br/>She didn't get the chance to talk though, for Saturnia began to speak.  There was a wizard too, a man... Kass wasn't the nearly as fond of men, not that she didn't find them attractive, trustworthy, or friendly, but men had a tendency to want to control things, especially women, even<em>more</em>especially young and 'naive' women like herself.  Having grown up in Calimshan, where women were second class citizens in most everything but the underworld, only to be found by Kyna, a woman who was the pure essence of dominance, she grew to like the taste of control, of power, and thus her fondness of men suffered for it.  But that aside, that was whom had answered the call to aid in the recovery of the statue of Adon, so she'd be working with this Faebion without problem, unless of course he caused one, but for the moment he seemed to be gathering information, which would certainly help this mission of theirs.<br/><br/>She chuckled; maybe the man was a looker, that would be a plus, though if he was a looker and a<em>woman</em>it would have been even better.  Though at the mention of the redhead's name, Kass' eye went wide.  Aria?  'intimately connected' to the Sunite faith?  And her array or skills marking her as one who worked best under the cover of night and shadows... no, it couldn't be...<br/><br/>"Aria...<em>the</em>Aria who's Keela Kavanaugh's, Kyna Kavanaugh's granddaughter, lover?" Kass asked, still a bit surprised, something that<em>rarely</em>happened to her in a social setting "I<em>never</em>thought I would meet you!  I'm one of Kyna's disciples, and she has held nothing but the<em>highest</em>regard for you and your lover, her granddaughter!  You are every bit as<em>gorgeous</em>as she said you were... but where is Keela?  I was told that you two were all but inseparable, an adventuring duo who saved the daughter of Mystra's chosen from Umberlee, and saved a Heartwarder from the grips of darkness even<em>after</em>being imprisoned..."<br/><br/>Kass grinned then, her gaze taking on a suggestive, more lustful look.<br/><br/>"Then again, after what I heard about Keela's Rite of Love, perhaps your 'relieving yourself' in that room left Keela there completely spent and in a state of bliss so strong she has yet to recover from it?" Kass suggested in a throaty, sensual purr "I wish I had been here earlier then; would have been quite the show I'm sure!"
