The Drow Queen of Glaley [Very NSFW]

[Estelle Emerison]

"An interesting combination of claim and counter," Estellle remarks lightly. 

"Flesh heals easily enough, she'd have been fine. What's not fine is how he poisoned her mind, taught her disobedience. She was ordered to wait until end of day to return for healing and his interference upset that."

[Coquette Blacquin]

"If you cannot take care of your possessions, you do not deserve to have them." And that sparks an idea. "I will buy it from you, then."

[NPCs]

"What?" Odette nearly bellows, though Noire is skilled enough to realize it's more shock than anger. In front of her, Estelle has tensed slightly, though she doesn't say anything. Letting Coquette run with her idea? Some kind of social or cultural issue kicking in, preventing her rom interfering? Shock as well? Estelle is better at masking than Odette by a fair margin and Coquette can't see her face from her position, which naturally makes it much harder. 

[Coquette Blacquin]

"I will purchase your servant. Then you will not need to fear for it's devaluing, as it will be my problem to enforce."

[Estelle Emerison]

Pushing off her backfoot, so to speak, Odette comes back with, "so you would seek to gain from your perfidy? To take even more from me?"

"She did say 'purchase,' Mistress Odette," Estelle says mildly. Though I can't help but wonder how you have enough coin to expect to do so...Wait. Oh no. Oh fuck.

[Coquette Blacquin]

"If I pay full price for damaged goods, am I not losing more than I would gain? Or are you saying that the goods are not, in fact, damaged?"

[NPCs]

"My castoffs and trash would be priceless treasure to one such as you," Odette counters, though her objection doesn't truly refute Coquette's point. "Nor does that address my other claims," she adds swiftly, seeking firmer ground.

[Coquette Blacquin]

"I shall punish my male for his disrespect. The rest of your claims are spurious."

[NPCs]

"I was the one disrespected, it is my place to punish him," Odette fires back instantly.

[Coquette Blacquin]

She spreads her hands. "Acceptable, assuming you do not damage his value to me."

[NPCs]

Odette rolls her eyes with a scoff. "What possible punishment would have no impact oh his value? Even a scolding could impact his delicate surfacer mood and thus his service."

[Coquette Blacquin]

Noire bites back the first thing she was going to say, and the next. her hand pauses in the brushing for a moment, then resumes. "What punishment would you mete out for the crime of damaging your reputation?"

[NPCs]

Odette pauses as well, a calculated light glimmering in her eyes. "What's on the table? Because he couldn't afford to pay the two insults himself. Not if you wanted any of him back," she finishes in a purr 

"Carefully," Estelle murmurs almost gently. "You wouldn't want to insult me, now would you?"

[Coquette Blacquin]

Noire opens her mouth, but there's a slight hesitation, and in that moment, Cindy speaks. "What if I let you punish myself, instead? I am obviously of far higher value than my male."

[NPCs]

Odette looks shocked, then maliciously delighted. A second later, her eyes dip to Estelle. Tone less aggressive than Cindy would have expected based on her expression, Odette answers, "that is true. Even a foreign half breed female is worth ten times a male at the least." Another quick glance at Estelle, then her eyes harden. "Would you Kneel for me at dinner, begging for my forgiveness?"

Estelle doesn't say anything, nor does she still or jolt. What does happen is Coquette feels a finger quickly trace 's-e-x' on her thigh.
