The Drow Queen of Glaley [Very NSFW]

[Coquette Blacquin]

"But everything still has its symbology, it's hidden meanings. Like, for example, when my ex-wifes horse mounted mine, causing significant damage, I had it castrated. But she had just brought home two husbands, ready for me to be impregnated, and so it showed to her that I was unwilling to submit to such. So she had my horse killed, to make things right between us. Do you see?"

[Claudia Emerison]

"I see your ex is a fucking psycho bitch!"

[Coquette Blacquin]

Coquette sits up, blinking. "What?" she asks, nonplussed. 

[Claudia Emerison]

Claudia has to wait a good twenty seconds to answer, unwilling to shout over Zevran's laughter. When he finally subsides, she rolls her eyes at him. "Your ex-wife. Is. A fucking. Psycho bitch," the imisy gnome repeats with great attention to getting just the right tone and dictation. 

[Coquette Blacquin]

"N-no, that wasn't the lesson at all! She, she had to do it, because I-- I shamed her."

[Zevran]

"No no, I think Claudia has the right of it," Zevran says, voice still a bit uneven but tone somber enough. 

[Claudia Emerison]

"No, she-- I mean, yes to Zevran, no to you. She shamed herself, love. I mean, she's the one with a horse so poorly trained that it attacked your horse. If she can't control her beasts, then she has no grounds to be annoyed when you take things in hand."

[Coquette Blacquin]

"But I had no right to damage her property..."

[Zevran]

"Did you not? I vaguely recall hearing of this event; she was away from home at the time, leaving you, her wife, in charge," Zevran supplies.

[Coquette Blacquin]

"No, she had just returned. That's why her horse was home."

[Claudia Emerison]

"More importantly, her property damaged your property. I mean, yes, based on our laws and customs-- the Enclave's, to be clear-- you should have told her what happened and then she should have taken steps to atone for what she did. Let happened, whatever," Claudia cuts in before Zevran can reply. "But that's not how things work in Alessia, right? I've only read a bit about their laws, but as the second wife, aren't you in charge of the household? Including livestock?"

[Coquette Blacquin]

"Oh, we weren't very Alessan at all. Only in public, when we had to be, but I can't recall the last time she took me out for dinner even."

[Zevran]

"The Flesh Bitch had pre--"

"The who?"

"The Flesh Bitch? As opposed to the far more powerful Iron one?" Without giving Claudia time for further interruption, Zevran swiftly finishes, "had pretentions of being a drow noble or some such."

[Coquette Blacquin]

Coquette flinches. "Don't call her that," she hisses. 

[Zevran]

"oh?" Zevran asks. "I suppose it's a bit... gross sounding," he allows. "How about ..how about the Dross Bitch? That's the trash from smelting ores, right?"
