Another cocked eyebrow as he tried to translate her words into a different tongue before stumbling upon what she meant--or rather what he thought she meant. "Oooooh, you mean sex. Yes, I have heard it is given and taken as easily a handshake here in America," he said before lifting a finger and shaking it ruefully in her direction, "but no, no, temptress, you shall not corrupt me so easily, mesu bedshet," he said the Arabic name for the Followers of Set with a shrewd smile upon his face, thinking himself to have dodged a trap.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Her cheeks turned bright as crimson, a rare sight indeed for one of the Kindred, and she sputtered for a few moments.  It was hard to tell where she was offended or flattered; she probably didn't know herself.  "I didn't mean with me!" she said, her cheeks shifting in an attempt to try to get her smile back.  "A lot of people use that for feeding here.  It's not..."<br/><br/>After a few moments, she just shook her head, regaining her composure and smile.  "It's not as simple as a handshake.  Maybe some girls, sure, but you'll offend a lot of girls if you figure we're all like that.  Other girls are willing but you have to pay them for the privilege.  In the club I run, lots of girls dance in very little clothing and people pay just to watch, but only a small few of them will actually offer themselves to that degree.  Quite a few, though, will cozy up to a romantic gentleman."<br/><br/>His comments about the Beast brought some concern, and she decided not to go into that avenue of discussion, at least for the time being.  There was no reason to aggravate him.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=200315.msg9915768#msg9915768">Quote from: Ghostwheel on 29-04-2014, 13:52:34</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Serpents of Light?" he asks at the offer. "Who--or what--are they, and..." he looks wary, "what kinds of favors? I hear that having a favor of the Followers of Set is almost as bad as owing them a favor--though I've heard similar things of most of the other clans," he quickly tries to soften his ill-thought words clumsily spoken by one with little social finesse who had not grown as a Kindred in the hallowed halls of Elysium.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"Serpents of the Light are..."  She paused for a moment, considering how to explain.  "Well, they're this cult that used to be part of our clan and infiltrated the Sabbat."  She gestured a little more wildly to enunciate, though the gaping holes suggested that even she didn't fully understand the difference.<br/><br/>The comment about favors made her smile flicker out, and her eyes shifted down to the ground for a few moments.  "I guess I don't know what you'd really want," she admitted.  "Money, a girl who would make a good ghoul...I've even had-"  A dim remainder of her blush came back to her cheeks as she looked at him, and she decided not to finish her statement.  "A lot of people just save them for when they need them."
