The Drow Queen of Glaley [Very NSFW]

[Jassinth]

"You should speak with someone about this," Jass says instantly. "Someone trained and experienced," he adds with a wince.

[Shiori]

"When all this is over and settled."

[Jassinth]

Jass shakes his head. "Shiori, things will never be 'all over and settled.' Life doesn't work like that."

[Shiori]

"I can't show weakness now, when my position int he family is so precarious."

[Jassinth]

"You don't have to advertise what you're doing," Jass points out. "We could find someone who isn't local."

[Shiori]

"With what magic? We're pretty tight for cash."

[Jassinth]

"Child support?" Jass reddens a little, looking just a wee bit mortified on how that came out. "Err, I mean... we could ask Maeve to send someone?"

[Shiori]

"...what if I performed a summoning and talked to Maeve herself?"

[Jassinth]

Jass considers that for a moment, then shakes his head. "I mean, speaking with her should not hurt, of course, and could do you good on many levels, but whle I love and adore Her, she's not really... grown for that sort of thing."

[Shiori]

"...I can send her a letter, then." 

[Jassinth]

"No, no," Jass replies, warming to the idea the more it's considered. "You should send her a summoning invitation. I am sure she'd like to see you again, if naught else." He hesitates, then adds thoughtfully. "And perhaps take a stroll along the beach or the like. Make sure people see what company you keep."

[Shiori]

"...like, a date? Would she like that?"

[NPCs]

"Maeve would love that," Jass assures Shiori. "She-- ah! I think this might work for you; Maeve is Raplin's attempt to understand Ciren's domains. A date is mostly finding joy and passion with someone while doing some activity so..."

[Shiori]

Shiori nods. "Alright. I'll take Maeve on a date and while we're in private I'll ask her advice on dealing with... all this. Fair?"

[Jassinth]

"Thou art more than fair, my sweet maiden," Jass proclaims grandly, capturing one of her hands in his own to kiss it dramatically. "But your words are fair pleasing as well."
