The Drow Queen of Glaley [Very NSFW]

[Coquette Blacquin]

~My future? What use is my family in my future?~

[Tethras Clan]

~You mentioned at least two wives, didn't you? Aren't they your family now?~

[Coquette Blacquin]

~Are they? I suppose they are. how odd.~ 

[Tethras Clan]

~Why do you consider that odd?~

[Coquette Blacquin]

~My first wife was no boon to me, at all. Family for me consists of my husbands and my children, not my wives.~ 

[Tethras Clan]

~Ah, I understand,~ Seli replies, a compassionate regret in her 'voice.' She continues in a brighter tone, ~can you tell me about them? Your husband and children?~

[Coquette Blacquin]

Noire launches into a rundown of her husbands from before, when she was in Alessa; her descriptions are scrupulously fair, to the point of being primarily negative, but there's a hint of fondness under it all. Still, Zevran wouldn't like the descriptions very well. 

The children get more glowing reviews. They're clearly the pride and joy of Noire's life and she obviously misses them quite a bit. 

[Tethras Clan]

~I gather that your ex-wife has custody?~ Seli asks gently.

[Coquette Blacquin]

~You could call it that, yes. I haven't seen them since she tried to sell me and I fled.~

[Tethras Clan]

~Oh my! I'm so very sorry, Coquette, I didn't mean to blunder into that.~

[Coquette Blacquin]

~What? It's no big deal. Like I said before: I played badly, I lost the game, and I suffered for it. Now I've escaped to play again elsewhere.~ 

[Tethras Clan]

~It's certainly impressive that you're working so hard to rebuild your life, but refusing to acknowledge the pain of loss is unhealthy,~ Seli says bluntly.

[Coquette Blacquin]

~She wasn't worthy of me to begin with. I was only with her because I had no choice. And she cheated on me.~

[Tethras Clan]

~All of which likely adds to the pain,~ Seli observes gently. ~For someone cruel and uncaring to be forced on and then to betray you? It's not even insult to injury, it's injury to injury.~

[Coquette Blacquin]

Noire wipes away a tear. ~Political marriage is always thus. It's unsurprising my new wife cheated, really. They always do.~
