The Amell Legacy: Transgressions

[Haliel Lightsong]

Oh blast- that was so very careless, Haliel. "I am sorry Marian. You are safe, I promise," she echoes Isabela, taking her cue from the far more experinced lover.

[Isabela]

"Recent?" asks Isabela quietly. Marian gives a nod, as well as a small sniffle. "Does Mistress Isabela need to hurt someone?" she asks, still in that soothing, gentle tone. Why am I so protective of this pup? I don't usually care half so much.

[Haliel Lightsong]

"No. He's crippled and imprisoned," Haliel says, a note of steel in her voice. "I was... upset. I should feel guilty for not healing him but..." Her eyes. So lost and... resigned. No hope at all in them. I just...

[Isabela]

"fair enough," she continues, in the same soothing tone. "There's a good pup. Just relax. It's all done now."

[Haliel Lightsong]

"Very done. He's hundreds of miles away as well. You're very, very safe. And warm and relaxed." Very relaxed, from the look of things, at least before my misstep. 

[Marian Hawke]

"Good," mumbles the sleepy pup.

[Haliel Lightsong]

Haleil smiles at Marian's reaction, her own posture finally relaxing in truth. "Sorry about that," she murmurs to Isabela. "She hides it so well I... I forget."

[Isabela]

"No harm done," she says soothingly. "We all have our traumas."

[Haliel Lightsong]

"You helped her very skillfully. Were you trained in healing or is that... part of the dom stuff?" Her voice is slightly hesitant on the unfamiliar word. 

[Isabela]

"After an intense session, soothing cuddles can help bring her back to reality," says Isabela softly. "It's part of the package. This wasn't as intense as I usually do, mind, but she seems to need it."

[Haliel Lightsong]

"Things have been... hard for her lately," Haliel admits, not wanting to go into details. "Wait- it gets more intense than this?" More than how she was reacting?

[Isabela]

"In this context, intense usually means pain is involved, or deep emotions, or extensive role-playing that might stir up deep emotions. Things that can be cathartic, but also require some extra soothing to come down from. Right now, she's just in an afterglow haze -- she enjoyed herself, she's exhausted, she needs some time to recover. Aren't you, pup?"

Marian gives a small nod, snuggling up to the pillow more.

[Haliel Lightsong]

That... sounds like sex can be a form of therapy. And one that Marian certainly seems to enjoy. "Could... could you teach me? I... I don't... get sex but maybe... maybe I can learn?"

[Isabela]

"I'd love to, but I'm not sure we'll have time. I plan to hit the road tomorrow most likely."

[Haliel Lightsong]

"Oh." The disappointment in her tone is clear, though she tries to keep it even. "Well. Umm. Is there.. somewhere... I mean... would a Joyous be able to... or are there books or..?"
