The Drow Queen of Glaley [Very NSFW]

"I... will await the fulfillment of your promise," she says, clearly changing her mind at the last second about what to say. 

[Zevran]

"Thank you," Zevran says with a bright smile. "Now, I suspect you're rather... fatigued, shall we say, so I will simply ask if you have any further questions. If not, I will leave you to rest and relax. Breakfast is at seventh bell, and I will be available, in the study here, to talk more from then until noon."

[GamesMaster]

"Thank you," she says quietly. "You didn't have to stick your neck out for me, but you did. So thank you." So said, she flees to her chambers. 

[Zevran]

"Hmm." Zevran studies the door to her tiny washroom for a long moment before leaving. It has... been far too long since I have hear-- since I have earned such words sincerely given. It... feels surprisingly good. Painful. But good.

Higurashi Tsukikage, daughter of Higurashi Kuronue, daughter of Higurashi Yasha, son of Higurashi Taisho, son of Daimyo Higurashi, blessed by Ancestor Vojopotencokuŝasenvenĝoprenitapostmalfelicxo, who intercedes with Dark VojoPotenco to intercede with Dark Zanon, is currently playing the most boring game of Go in her entire life. It doesn't help that she's supposed to be engaged to the man across the board from her; she'd suggested this game as a way to avoid doing what they're meant to be doing, which is getting her pregnant so they can be wed. Instead, they're in the common room, playing a board game, as he flirts with her shamelessly by -- no joke -- telling her what life would be like under his headship. It sounds dismal. But she's dressed in her finest kimono, and she's drinking good sake so she can get drunk enough to let him do what needs to be done. Again. Hopefully this time it will take. He's human, aren't they mean to be extremely fertile? 

"Ma'am," says a servant, bowing, as he enters the room. "There is a merchant here to display exotic wares for purchase."

"Oh good, send him in."

[NPCs]

Braiden 'Bitch Breaker' Redis, formerly of a moderately sized village aligned with Jalzaid, squints at Tsukikage. "Hey," he grunts, only a faint saki-induced slur in his voice despite having had double the amount his date has had. "A proper wife should be asking for permission about inviting in people. Especially during," he leers at her, "our one-on-one time."

[GamesMaster]

"My deepest apologies. However, as this is my household, what I have said must stand." She smiles, as the servant departs. Little rebellions. That's all I have left. 

[Shisou]

The woman who enters is entirely unfamiliar, and yet, somehow, entirely familiar. Tsuki would surely remember such emerald eyes, such viridigenous hair. And yet, the facial features... something about them...

She smiles, unpacking her wares and bowing. "Greetings, honored Wolf clan members. I bring forth before you exotic tinctures, plant life, and bark from the Oak of Raplin himself -- a potent curative. I have heard rumors that your mother is ill? Perhaps a tincture from my collection may be of service?"

[GamesMaster]

Tsuki narrows her eyes. "How did you hear about Mum?"

[NPCs]

"Tinctures?" Braiden sits up properly, eyes narrowing and his posture turning fluidly sharp. "Like poisons and drugs?" His tone is authoritative, a strangely polite form of demanding.

[Shisou]

"Healing tinctures only," she says regretfully. "As for how I know about your mother... it's because she is my mother as well."

[GamesMaster]

Tsukikage blinks. "....what?"

[NPCs]

Braiden frowns, eyes moving from one to the other. "The fuck is she on about Tsuki? Your mother whelp before she got married or something?" He sounds pissed at the idea, though she doubts it's due to social outrage.

[GamesMaster]

"No, never! And -- I'm her firstborn, that girl's not old enough to be my secret half sister or anything. And we'd know if she was pregnant with--"

She sniffs, then, leaning forward. "An outblood?" 

[Shisou]

"Not quite," says Shiori regretfully. "My name is Higurashi Shiori, mother of an unnamed outblood, who will intercede with Bright Fohlaimícranníonatálorseintfainecraíagusdaruchcrántam  who intercedes with Raplin who intercedes with Uryll." A pause. "But my birth name was Higurashi Shisou, son of--"
