Tyrcestus just kissed her again.
"You act way too innocent. Honestly, for someone who I first saw naked, you're remarkably reticent about intimacy."
He kissed her neck. "I'm going to assume no-one's done this to you before..." he murmured, kissing her neck again.

Steve stretched for a bit before thinking 'I wonder if anybody brought the case of arrows'. So the hermit knight walked through the castle and entered the armory where he saw Arisa and some guy talking.....

*****

"I not want Zalia love go bad place like Levia Infernis. Me not want think what happen if bad thing hurt you." Beelzenef whispered as he lay close to Zalia

Arisa tilted her head slightly as she listened. She opened her mouth to say something, when she saw Steve in the corner of her eye. Then an idea popped into her head. Her violet eyes seemed to shine slightly, as she placed the two katanas back on the weapon rack, then walked over to Leon, grabbed his shirt, and pulled him towards her, kissing him...knowing that Steve was standing in the door.

******

Zalia looked into Beelzenef's eyes, and gently touched his face. "If you don't want me to do, I won't go." She whispered softly. "Just be safe there." She added with a concerned expression on her face.

Steve walked in and witnessed Arisa and Leon kissing, and his jaw dropped. He walked over to the pair and said "So this is how you pay me back? I get crazy drunk and make a mistake and this is how you pay me back? Kissing some random guy.. who is he anyway?" as he pointed to Leon

******

"Yes, I want Zalia love stay here. Beelzenef join group and be warrior for kingdom, so me want you stay safe. While we gone, me can make Zalia boss in place of Beelzenef. This could help Song hold get close, and you have goblin elders help you. Me talk with Fishspine before come in here." as he playfully shook the blankets "He know human tongue and trusted goblin. He help Zalia run things. Maybe you could ask to make bunny farm in goblin caves." as he picked up the discarded bunny girl ears

Arisa looked at Leon, with an expression of apology. "I'm sorry, Leon." She said to him, then looked back at Steve with little to no expression on her face. "Perhaps you now know part of the pain you put me through." She said to him. "I told you: I won't chase you." She grabbed the katanas that she had placed back on the weapon rack, and left the armory. "I really liked you Steve." She said, as she walked out of both their lines of sight.

******

Zalia smiled gently. "I don't think they would like living that deep in the ground." She locked her eyes on Beelzenef's, still with a worried expression on her face. "I'm worried about how dangerous this place is." She spoke softly. "I hope you aren't going by yourself."

Arisa smiled slightly to Zerron, and nodded her head. "I'd like that." She said. "I don't think it would be of much use if I fell on my butt every time I tried to be stealthy." She laughed nervously. "I'll take these out, then we should get ready to go, like Sean suggests. The faster we get there, the faster we can get Sean's sword back, and the Princess." She added. "I can't imagine what the King and Queen are going through right now."

Hexy leaned over to Leon.
"Sean got a magic sword but the elves kidnapped the princess and made us give them the sword and now they're both in Levia Inferis and we're racing the elves to get the sword. Kay?" she said brightly.

Tyrcestus kissed her neck again, letting her lie on top of him.
"Do you like it?" he asked softly, kissing her neck all over. "The purring is a hint..."

Arisa paused, turned around and looked at Leon. "Hmm...maybe you should hold all that energy in when we get there." She suggested, as she raised her brow slightly.

Hexy grinned. "I like him."Mandrate entered the main hall and looked at the assembled group.
"Everything's set. Everyone down to the ship. We sail in two hours."

Tyrcestus did some very adult things to Trinity's body in the space of twenty minutes, and when he'd finished Trinity was barely conscious.
"I think I overdid it," he whispered in her ear as he lay next to her on the storeroom floor.

"I not be alone, Beelzenef be with group on trip to princess." Beelzenef said as he got up and threw on his armor and sat beside Zalia and said "Please Zalia-love, stay safe."

******

Steve walked into the room as stood beside Arisa, he resisted the urge to kiss her as he glanced her way

OOT: Sorry for the short and colorless reply, need to deal with my laptop

Zalia sat up in the bed, and kissed Beelzenef softly. "Be safe, my love." She spoke softly, as she looked into his eyes. "Come back to me in once piece."

******

"Steve and I will load the rest of the stuff on the ship." Arisa said, almost feeling Steve's eyes burn a hole through her. Arisa looked at Mandrate. "Can Shadow stay here until we get back?" She asked. "I don't think he'd make a journey by sea, and I really don't want to risk his life in such a dangerous place."

Tyrcestus smiled, though there was more than humor in it.
"A travelling adult masseuse came through the village once. Many women flocked to see him. I sneaked along and through peeking in the window discovered why."
The smile became a smirk. "I discovered that day there are places women love getting touched..."

Mandrate nodded. "Very wise. I would have advised that regardless of your thoughts - it is very difficult to see someone you care about having their bones crushed to powder and there being nothing you can do about it. And that's just the Cracks." He turned. "Everyone now, to the ship. I have an errant boy to find... has anyone seen Tyrcestus or is he still fondling that cat-girl in the store-room?"
Hexy went bright red, but nodded to Sean. Vizard and Gizzard wolf-whistled. Clun rolled his eyes.
