The Drow Queen of Glaley [Very NSFW]

[NPCs]

Oh dear. "Oh no, sweetie, it's okay, you're safe," she croons, moving her hands to cup Coquette's face. "It's okay, I won't let anyone hurt you."

[Coquette Blacquin]

"I'm s-s-sorry," she whimpers. "I t-t-tried to be s-strong... b-b-ut..."

[NPCs]

"You did the best you could, and when you fell short, you came here for help." Parele kisses her forehead, then resumes rubbing salve on Coquette, though she makes sure to keep it professional, if still rather sensual. "Wisdom is just as important as strength."

[Coquette Blacquin]

"Y-you think I am w-wise?" she asks, her voice barely a whisper. 

[NPCs]

"You recognized you needed help and then successfully sought that help out," Paerle replies with a warm smile as she works her thumbs into Coquette rib. "Tsk. Such sloppy aftercare, I would never have expected that from her," she murmurs, making a note to have some scar reduction ointment fetched after their bath.

[Coquette Blacquin]

"You won't t-tell mistress Estelle?I don't want her to get in trouble.."

[NPCs]

Wait. 'Tell Mistress Estelle?' That means... "I won't tell anyone," she promises, mostly sincerely. Surely this wasn't Claudia of all people! No, I can't believe that, not from her. She's fair too... weak. "What about your other Mistress?" she casts into the dark.

[Coquette Blacquin]

"I... I don't think you should tell her either. Or Grandmother. I don't think Mistress would like me talking about what we do together."

[NPCs]

"I see," Paerle replies thoughtfully. Oh good. I hadn't really thought it could be Grandmother, but it's very good to be sure. That would be... fraught. "What do you plan to do after I finish tending to you?"

[Coquette Blacquin]

"..I should go home," she admits. "I'm late getting back already. Can I tell them I stopped off to visit you on the way home?"

[NPCs]

Back home. So definitely not Estelle or Claudia. Hmm. Who else does she even associate with? "Of course you can, dear sister," Paerle coos, kissing her on the cheek. "Let's get you dried off, one last look over to see if anything still needs attention, then dressed and off you go! Oh. I'll lend you a dress, okay? Oooh, no, better, I'll gift one to you. That way, you can explain that I wanted to give you a present and that's why you stopped by. Sound good?"

[Coquette Blacquin]

She nods. "Yes, ma'am," she says softly. 

[NPCs]

"Any questions or concerns you're not sure if you can ask me?"

[Coquette Blacquin]

"No ma'am." Apparently Sweetheart is tired of trying to enforce boundaries like an adult; she's back to wanting to be told what to do and petted and coddled. 

[NPCs]

"Any worries or things you need help with?" Paerle continues, tugging Coquette around a little so she's behind her. Thus positioned, she starts combing out Coquette's hair to neaten it.
