Anastasius let Atnorsa drift as she would, keeping an eye on her as she did.  There was no telling what portents or wisdom from Bacchus might surface while she was in such a state.  Or what she might happen upon while so enlightened.<br/><br/><strong>"I gave her wine Quintus, and Bacchus gave her his blessings.  She'll be raging again soon enough, doubtlessly even more angry than before for having her fury stolen away.  She's been clinging to it rather tightly as she thought it was the last thing she could call her own that could not be taken from her.  So I would advise being careful with her when you bed her later.  She's not yet broken from her biting or disarmed yet, so I'd keep anything soft out of her reach."</strong><br/><br/>To Masina he nodded.<strong>"I think we'll be fine for now,"</strong>he answered,<strong>"But be careful, something is awry in this place."</strong><br/><br/>Then he knelt down to watch Mohini closely, reaching out to stroke her cheek.<strong>"I am Anastasius,"</strong>he said softly, smiling to further soften his pretty features,<strong>"You're not going to be any trouble to watch over at all now are you?"</strong>His voice was silken and his manners gentle, but the well-groomed nails of the hand touching her lightly were stained the dark wine of blood.
