The Drow Queen of Glaley [Very NSFW]

[Coquette Blacquin]

~Sure. Let's talk about how she can possibly justify doing this to me.~

[Tethras Clan]

~Alright,~ Seli replies agreeably. ~Has she said anything on that topic so far?~

[Coquette Blacquin]

Noire makes a face, sight unseen. ~Because she had her memories of the incident removed, she cried big old crocodile tears about how she might have been raped. But the evidence I saw was of her enjoying herself immensely.~ 

[Tethras Clan]

~'You saw?' You were present for it?~

[Coquette Blacquin]

~No. A bit of magic that builds an illusion of a few seconds of what was, bound to an item.~ 

[Tethras Clan]

~That's an impressive bit of magic, how did you-- sorry, had a bit of a Nyran moment there. Can you tell me how you came about to doing it in the first place? What made you suspect a problem was there to find?~

[Coquette Blacquin]

~Oh, the other party told me. Gloating, you see.~ 

[Tethras Clan]

~Ah. I see. How certain are you that the illusion was of a real thing and not a false creation? I've encountered blackmail more often than most between my three jobs and it's actually more common for the so called evidence to be faked than real. Which, unfortunately, doesn't mean it's not real sometimes.~

[Coquette Blacquin]

~Best we can tell, from the quality of it, the spellwork, and the sheer amount of it, it's real.~ 

[Tethras Clan]

~I see. That's understandably troubling. I imagine the hope that it's false, no matter how slim, is bothe boon and bane.~

[Coquette Blacquin]

~It feels like... like she's getting away with something terrible. Like she can do anything she wants so long as she has the memory removed, and then she gets to carry on about how she might have been raped, who knows what really happened, and meanwhile I suffer the consequences to my reputation. It's not fair.~ 

[Tethras Clan]

~It doesn't sound fair, no. I hope that you're having it looked into? Memory modification can be a very serious issue, even if it's done properly.~  A pause, then, with a note of wariness, ~and have you had yourself checked as well?~

[Coquette Blacquin]

~No, there's no reason to believe I've been subjected to memory alteration.~ 

[Tethras Clan]

~Well... Okay, let me be clear; I don't think it's reasonable or healthy to be constantly worried about this sort of thing. But in this case, given that someone you're close to has been afflicted, then it might be prudent to be sure.~

[Coquette Blacquin]

~Understood. But I am not going to put myself in a position of someone else having blackmail material over me.~
