Name: Ilset Val'atha<br/>Tagging: Thorsen'melis<br/>Location: The Walking Duck<br/>Skill: 7<br/>Stamina: 14<br/>Luck: 8<br/>Climax: 1/3 remaining<br/><br/>"I..." she hesitated, thinking of his words and what they meant, what they truly meant to her.  He'd watched her for so long, waiting to confess his love for her...? And yet, he was far too scared to do so because of his form, because she would hate him...And tonight, this very night when the town, her home, was to fall, only now had he come to her, hunted her down, and forced her into this...passionate embrace...Was that what it was?  She couldn't think of it as anything else, so it had to be, right?...  All she could think about was how perfect it all was, how warm and fuzzy it made her feel, how it was utter bliss, living as a walking symbol of someone's affections...  She would be happy to bear his brood, if that's what was to come of it. And yet...<br/><br/><em>You idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot!</em>There it was, that voice again...Why wouldn't it go away?  It was so annoying, interrupting her precious feelings...<br/><br/><em>You're really falling for all of this?  They taught you better than that, didn't they?</em><br/><br/>The half-elf girl stirred uneasily in Thorsen's embrace, once again arguing, starting from a low demand.<br/><br/>"Get out...Stop talking..." she mutters, trying to hide her argument from her newfound  lover.<br/><br/><em>Seriously?  He's playing you like a fiddle, you idiot, and you're just letting him string you along?!</em><br/><br/>"Stop talking!" she repeats once more, louder and more resolute this time.  To anyone else, she might appear rather crazy...After all, who talked to themselves like that?  Then again, it wasn't like anyone was going to confront a girl in the embrace of a monster...<br/><br/><em>No, you're being lied to like some moron on the street!  Do you really think that a monster like that was just watching you like some schoolyard crush for goddess-knows-how-long just to ask you out on a date, and eventually ask you to bear children?!  How stupid are you?!</em><br/><br/>"Shut up!" she growls at...herself.<br/><br/><em>You're really willing to throw yourself away?</em><br/><br/>"Shut<strong>up!</strong>" she repeats against the overly insistent voice in her head.<br/><br/><em>Everything he says is a disgusting lie...Are you really so eager to give up everything you are for some trick of his?</em><br/><br/>"Leave me alone! Go away, get out of my head!  I... I know what I need, I know what I was denied from the goddess, because of her selfishness and bloodlust!  Thorsen only wants to save me from such an existence, and I won't hear otherwise!" she cries out, utterly convinced of the lie, just as willing to believe it for Thorsen as she was willing to believe it for her own selfish needs, to fill in the void he'd blown in her very existence.  She had to have someone, something to live for, and now Thorsen and this new god...They would fill that gap...<br/><br/>"Thorsen...Thorsen..." she repeated, drawing closer, shakily, looking into this foreign eyes of his.  "P-please...make the other voice go away...I don't want to hear her anymore...please..." she begged.  Her quivering lips drew closer to his mouth, finally planted upon his own maw, sealing her affection, initially forced though it was.<br/><br/>"I...I don't want to hear anything else...but you..."
