She hopped down from her perch and moved back over to her original seat, stretching out, and looking at the ceiling, instead of her guest, not that it really mattered, her sense of hearing, smell, the vibrations in the floor, however slight, were enough for her to tell everything about the room without opening her eyes. Though most times she'd have prefered a duller set of senses, not now though, she quite enjoyed the sound and smell of him.<br/><br/>"What better reason do you need than that it is I who makes the offer?" she asked, "I am the oldest of the old, and I will undoubtedly accomplish my goals one way, or another...my power can guaruntee that the elders will hold off, even if you are betrayed, something we will have to avoid. I am the oldest vampire in the city, but not the oldest alive. At least, I think I am not, I could be...but the older we become the less...social, we get, myself being the only real exception. The elders will have no choice, fearing that some ten-thousand year old monstrosity or perhaps a millenial souter, are desparately in love with me and might take my death to their unbeating hearts, crossing oceans for vengence."<br/><br/>The way she mentioned vampiric creatures, it gave the impression that those were real possibilities, and that either, or something else similar might indeed be the case.<br/><br/>"Regardless, I would be putting a signifigant trust in you, and you can be the only judge of wether or not I am suitable to help you..." she said.<br/><br/>She spread her legs and rubbed her bare sex. She doubted he could be swayed with sex, even sex with her, and she didn't bother attempting to entice him, but she didn't mind adding something to the coversation.<br/><br/>"Consider one more thing, if you will," she said, "I am ageless, and I tire of even the greatest of pleasures...quickly. I don't believe that I am capable of love, or even willing to pretend at it, therefore, there will come a time when I tire of you, everyone in the city, in fact, and leave...this is a fact. I may even be quite soon. Which means, if you help me now, there will come a time, when even our partnership will disolve, and Tannis will be yours to do with as you will..."<br/><br/>She closed her legs and stood, walking to her clothing, and slipping back into it. She didn't mind remaining bare, for him, but she didn't particularly want have her lessers, her servants, and human slaves, getting any ideas. She'd found her time in Tannis most strange in that regard, it seemed that it required very little to make those around her desire her, and very little more to make them willing to beg. She suspected it was merely among those who worshipped vampires, or vampires who worshipped elders, but still, it had become tiring, causing her to abandon her older, more customary practice, of wearing nothing at all, when in her own territories.
