Ruthilia looked somewhat amused at Kiyoni's refusal to kiss her ring, but let the matter slide. She glanced upward at Penny's familiar in the rafters, source of a cool breeze and cooler music. "I see you're a woman of many talents. Have your familiar play us a lively tune!"<br/><br/>The crown princess filled up drinking horns from the barrel of wine and passed them around. "Bottoms up! It's not everyday that you get served by a Queen!" When it came Inge's turn, though, she politely demurred. "Not for me tonight, your highness. And may I humbly suggest that restraint will be prudent tonight?" Ruthilia merely shrugged. "More for me then. I'll drink enough for the both of us, never fear!"<br/><br/>Meanwhile, despite Astrid's unorthodox methods and doth protesting too much, she got her message through to Chillytits, who nodded and made a muffled affirmative sound through her gag. Ruthilia - who, true to her word, her emptied both her own and Inge's cups already - butted in. "<em>Hic!</em>I have it on good authority that there are no vampires in Futanaria. Her kind must have come from outside. Hey, let no one say I'm a bad host, she can have a drink too. Just because she's gagged doesn't mean she can't - stick a horn up her ass, pour it right in!"<br/><br/>Turning to Kiyoni, the crown princess added, "Elemental-driven engines are humane, clean, and efficient! No need to import coal - which is mined by slaves, mind you - when an elemental can provide just as much heat or more, without making smoke to boot. Besides, they're all criminals exchanged from the Plane of Fire, serving a fair sentence. We're just making them useful instead of letting them rot in fire prison."<br/><br/>Antoine tried to comfort Kiyoni, but under the bulky clothes the ambassador was somewhat of a lightweight and the horn of wine rather large. In short, a tipsy Antoine was perhaps only trying to put a comforting hand on Kiyoni's shoulder, but ended up petting the shapeshifter's ample bosom apparently by mistake! To the ambassador's credit, the hand was immediately removed upon realizing what had happened.<strong>"By the godsh! I didn't mean to... my greatest apologiesh!"</strong><br/><br/>Seeing that Astrid and Kiyoni were already otherwise occupied, Ruthilia turned her attention to Penny! She patted her lap, which was starting to tent in her finely tailored pants. "Com'ere.<em>Hic!</em>You don't get to taste royal cock every day!"
