Zuria Kingdom

[Bloodedge]

"Rest assured, my queen. I am always listening. What sort of knight and Future King would I be otherwise?" Arthur questioned. He truly believed it necessary to keep an open ear when vying for success of any sort, so he would always remain attentive. Such would especially be the case while he heard the ludicrous plan of Kolin. Ah, and there was even more to come. As they departed from the aviary, Kolin spoke of an impassable desert, of which he knew nothing. Crossing said desert would mark the conclusion of her journey to greater heights, and she saw fit to question his interest in the very place she sought. A lore-based lesson was quite high on the list of what Arthur needed. More importantly, knowing more about this crazed woman's plans was absolutely necessary. "If you see fit to fill me in, I would very much like to hear it. I am missing a great deal of knowledge about this world," he admitted.

Merlyn's sheepish visage would not work on Cador. Upon seeing it, he even scoffed and turned his head. "Don't go being modest now, Merlyn. You were making a grand show of things earlier~" he said. Moving on though, Merlyn claimed to have a strange dream of her own. What an absurd thing it was, as well. "A charming knight had you stripped naked? That sounds quite familiar, actually. I do hope yours ended in a more satisfying manner than mine did. I woke stiff as a board, not a semblance of relief in sight. Needless to say, I am also hoping my waking hours are more... pleasant," the knight continued, managing to sound playfully distraught throughout his speech. "As for Arthur, I am sure he will be fine. I've had a few chances to speak with him recently, and he is progressing nicely. This may end well for him after all. At least, that is what I believe based on his current mental development."

[Apollymi]

"Oh? Well I'll have to keep that in mind~" she said thinking about it logically the fact that he was always listening was indeed a plus. It was definitely proactive of him to at least try and retain the information he was being given. He'd already proven himself to be leaps and bounds above Leorio physically, but also proving to have that same amount of headstart mentally was appreciable. when asked if he'd like a lesson in world lore, the lad answered 'yes' which was about what Kolin expected so she let him into her study and after he was inside she'd shut and lock the door. In the middle of this room was a very strange map of the world. It was strangely enchanted and showed current land masses in a double layered three dimensional set. "Of the land below, we're are here, on this continent." she said pointing. It was a vast area, mountainous on the western side and white capped and on the east, a vast desert of giant proportions. Strangely enough, on this same map there was a large chunk of land, floating over head, exactly over where the desert was. "There was once a Kingdom here... it ascended to the upper realm. When someone has a kingdom established and reaches certain criteria, they become Ruler. And they ascend along with their lands, into the upper realm. That happened with the desert kingdom sometime ago," she explained. "Because of that, the creatures which fall from the edges down to this place are quite powerful, they stir up trouble in the desert. It becomes impossible to just cross it without some method of travel being secured," she explained casually. "Riders with high speed vehicles or weaponized ones, stand a pretty decent chance, but otherwise, just getting across and to where my Kingdom is here," she said pointing. "Is pretty difficult. Obviously, I have no intention of taking a risk of my own to cross the desert. And as I am no longer a rider, I don't have any way to cross this place. So, I am trying to secure transport for myself and my Knights, that is the errand I have Hector on," she explained the whole of the situation along with the lore necessary for him to understand the nature of their present threat. "There is supposedly a pirate with a ship who sails that desert like its nothing. I plan to hitch a ride across, and maybe abuse him to keep transport open between us and the other places which still stand. After all, trapping everyone within my new Kingdom is the ultimate plan... which is why it has to be and sound appealing. Besides that... there is easy travel straight from this top kingdom down, which will also help out long term. People with higher levels and more money to spend all converging on Dis~" she explained of the lore and the difficulty traveling at lower levels versus higher levels.

A lesson in geography was a brew... strangely enough Merlyn had tried to give Arthur similar information. She wondered if he'd now realize what she'd meant when she said that Camelot was once nearby Saint Paul's. Ah, she supposed it didn't really matter long term, as long as he realized the potentials of the problems to be had in this world. Still there was the joking and teasing conversation at hand, and Merlyn would see herself entertained by it. "Oh? I truly didn't think it was too grand. But I'll have to take your word for it, Sir Cador," she mentioned seeming to lose all of that fake sheepishness in the moment. Her dream apparently wasn't too unfamiliar to Sir Cador. She could only wonder why. He claimed he'd woken stiff and hoped his day could be much better than his night had been. He wondered if her dream had ended in satisfaction. There were several cheeky things she had to say, "I figured waking stiffness was the main way men know they're alive upon waking. A natural order to the world and all that~" she scoffed seeming playfully dismayed. "Besides all of that my dream did not end in satisfaction, but such is the way when you place the choice in the hands of another. Still I wouldn't have it any other way~" she said with a small smirk appearing on her hooded face. "I have reasonably high hopes that my day will be even more entertaining than dreams~" she commented absently. The bit about Arthur made her nod her agreement, it didn't require much speech if any at all. So many possibilities for their time together, she wondered how it would go. So unusual for her, not knowing immediately. Still, she'd remain with her visage cloaked, she was quite serious about that choice belonging to someone else. She'd shown him exactly what would happen as a matter of course, and separated to make sure he'd understand what would happen if he spent too much time with her. No lies. No hidden agendas, her own personal form of chivalry, the choice of dealing with her and taking playful banter beyond was his to make.

[Bloodedge]

"If it pleases you," was Arthur's initial retort. He went on to observe a map in this new room's center, albeit not before the strange occurrence of Kolin locking them inside. Either this was a well-kept secret location, or there was something else afoot... if not both. Either way, there was a great learning experience here for Arthur. When Merlyn spoke before about ascending and such things, this was what she meant─ the sky above was filled with kingdoms of higher standing than those at ground level? The natural assumption would have been that Camelot was now a place in the mountains, but no. "Interesting. King Leorio is of the Rider Class, is he not? Was that to be his purpose before─" Arthur paused, clearing his throat. He'd been prepared to point out the obvious uselessness of Leorio, but chose to refrain from doing so. "Forgive me. I should not speak ill of the king, should I?" A hand met his chin as he looked more intensely at the map, doing his best to memorize it. As he did so, he continued speaking. "A capable Rider to cross the desert filled with beasts of a stronger variety than we have down here. Even if someone could leave Dis in spite of the seals on them, I can't imagine the person who could make a trip out into a desert this size... even without the monsters. It's an unstoppable trap with only gain to be found for the one setting it."

Meanwhile, Cador continued dealing with the quippy nature of the sorceress Merlyn... of course by retaliating with his own. "It is a natural thing, true, but that is hardly the case after waking from a two-hour nap. That is something to be specifically blamed on a certain temptress. All things considered, though, she managed to take my breath away at a glance. Feel free to be jealous~" he mused. It was quite a shame that her dream also ended in disappointment. On the positive side, Merlyn had reason to believe her day would be more entertaining. He could say the same about his own waking hours, actually. In fact... he was quite sure there was nothing short of excitement ahead, whether for better or worse. "Well, we do have quite the eventful day or two ahead of us. Just maybe, we can find time in the midst of it all to right the problems our dreams caused us. I suppose I can settle for you, even after meeting that stunning demon~"

[Apollymi]

"It does~" mentioned Kolin. She did really enjoy talking especially when it was obvious that what she was saying was being paid attention to. It was another one of her odder quirks, that required her being the center of everything. This included her planning, male attention and eventually the world. Moreover, it seemed that Arthur was at least a little aware of the kind of use that Leorio should have had, and more over he spoke of the current level of uselessness said king possessed. A chuckle left Kolin, she did strangely enjoy other people putting Leorio down as well. "Oh no, in this case, you've taken no misstep. He is quite useless. His means of transport is far below what I would need for the movement of my remaining troops. Beyond that I have less faith that I wouldn't lose more simply by virtue of putting faith in him to get us there. Another is necessary... It pleases me you understand~" Kolin mused. He had no idea how pleased she was by his understanding. Having him here and now was more use to her than anything else. "I plan to make this entire place rise again. Once its up we set our sights here..." she said pointing. The place over the mountains, one of the rather large Kingdoms was the one he set his sight for. "That is Camelot. It was risen from this plane quite a long time ago... Artoria Pendragon and her little band of goody two shoes made that happen. That will eventually be your seat of power, when my Kingdom rises, I'll make sure you can take every step towards that one," she said softly. Such an offer was manipulative at its nature. She fully intended to have this boy claim every kingdom between hers and the one she meant to take down. Her plan was to dominate once more as a goddess, giving the lad every island between Dis and Camelot was hardly more work than she intended to start with.

A happy chuckle left Merlyn, she found this man's quips to be quite entertaining. "Eh? Jealous? I am jealous of no woman, demon or seductress... my standards are far beyond normal understanding~" she said with mock snippiness. "Though I do wonder, what kind of woman stirred the interest of the steadfast Spirit Knight~" she said with a teasing chuckle. Sir Cador funnily enough claimed he would settle for her even past his little demoness. "Ara ara, I'm sure we could do exactly that, I happen to know we have a lot of free time for now~ but... Oh goodness, I wonder how I should take that? I wouldn't want to be a man's second choice... perhaps it would be better to let the imagine of the woman in his dreams be the only one he sees~" she said with grin spreading on her face. "I wouldn't want to disappoint with this lowly visage of mine~" more teasing and fun words.

[Bloodedge]

Much like earlier this day, Kolin managed only amusement in response to Leorio being acknowledged as... well, the scum that he truly was. It would be a long time before Arthur could remove those throne room images from his mind, and even then, the events themselves were repulsive. So, too, were some simple facts he knew about Leorio in general after the whole shebang. "Well, I'm glad you agree. This morning, I frankly had the misfortune of noticing something that I... cannot really fathom─" he said. Regardless of how the queen named Kolin was as a person, dealing with something like that was not something he would wish on his worst enemies. For a short while, he actually found himself wondering if Leorio was the reason Kolin turned out this way.

The queen brought up Camelot, pointing it out on the map and addressing Artoria Pendragon─ the woman who could only be Arthur's twin sister. He would get there one day, even if some strange turn of events got him there through Kolin. "Camelot in the sky. It is quite large. I can't imagine properly ruling it alone," he commented, giving thought to the idea of a joint rule between himself and Artoria... once he overcame her, at least. Surely she didn't have to die for him to fulfill his role as the Future King, right? "That will be quite the conquest. From Zuria, all the way to Camelot... and to the throne." For whatever reason, it seemed Arthur's excitement was rising. Ashikaga Kimiko would be found somewhere along the line, but if not... he'd have one hell of a viewpoint from all the way up there! All of his goals could be met in one fell swoop.

"H'oh? You're sure? I imagine you would disagree, if you saw her," Cador insisted. He even went so far as to raise a finger to drive home his point. "As for the type of woman she was to manage that... Well, she happened to be quite the charmer. Besides, between you and me, I don't think the Spirit Knight is as steadfast as he seems most days. I believe it may have come down to a mutual understanding between the two, actually. Perhaps they share the same lack of commitment~" That pointed finger became a casually-waving hand over Cador's head, all while he sauntered about the cell of Merlyn. She once again had interesting things to say. Cador took special interest in the mention of how much free time they had at present. "Is that so?" he asked, taking up the same side of the cell Merlyn herself occupied. "Well, well. If there is ample time here and now... you are a sorceress, correct? Evil, magical, manipulative being? It would no doubt help the situation involving your imprisonment, if you were to do a good deed such as... perhaps sparing me your lowly visage indeed, and recreating that demoness I dreamt of? She and I do have some unfinished business, and I would rather some pitiful prisoner not continue sullying my memories of the ordeal."

[Apollymi]

Another giggle escaped Kolin. She wondered how many of the others had noticed how little the King Leorio had to work with. She couldn't have stifled such amusements even if she'd tried. "Of course, that is quite a shame really. I didn't expect it to be so miniscule," she said in an off-handed manner. Still it was fine to leave such a conversation, they didn't have to spoil their good time with such things. There were matters she'd much rather discuss, for instance, this apparent rise to kingdoms that Arthur proposed. "Oh? I wouldn't mind ruling at your side. Obviously I have a great deal of experience in these matters... and I could lend myself to such a cause~" she said with nothing but chipper happiness in her voice. She'd taken his words to refer to only her, as she always tended to do. She also enjoyed his excitement, a driven man on her side was something she could appreciate. "It is quite large, but it won't be so bad... I'll make sure to tell you everything you need to know~"

While Arthur talked politics and geography with Kolin, the snippy conversation between Cador and Merlyn continued as if in hypotheticals. She chuckled, "I doubt I would... other women are no concern of mine~" she chided as if amused by the whole thing. "Oh goodness, if the steadfast Spirit Knight isn't so steadfast, it's a wonder he'd offer himself to an evil, manipulative sorceress~" she mused in response to his words. She took note of the fact that he was moving to the side of the cell she was on, but she still made no moves. She smiled that same little snarky smirk. "How do you know I wouldn't just use such a thing just to free myself?~ Would you risk ending up a slave to my whims, just trying to relive a dream?~" she asked him as if genuinely curious, of course, this was all banter all in good fun, but still... she'd made no moves to remove her hood nor show herself. If he wished to see her and take advantage of this time they had, she'd leave that decision to him.

[Bloodedge]

"I... am not one to talk, really, but I sincerely offer my condolences," Arthur said regarding Leorio. It was truly a shame, considering the king obviously had little to no flare accompanying his physical inability. He sighed, having no further concern for matters of Leorio... or rather, not wanting to think about what he'd seen too much. Kolin had alleged intentions of ruling Camelot at his side. It was clear by now that she wanted no such thing; she wanted to reign over Camelot herself, with him as a figurehead that she would likely use as a pleasure tool when the mood struck her. If only she were genuine, though, things would of course be very different. Naturally, Arthur would respond as if he could believe even a single word she said. "It would be my honor. I would hope to become a king worth my queen's adoration. Maybe the likes of me could even manage to satisfy a goddess~"

Cador chuckled. At times, this banter he shared with Merlyn was almost too much to bear. Nevertheless, it was far too entertaining for him to even consider stopping. "In all honesty, I'm sure even a deacon would fall to that demon's wiles. To call her a temptress wouldn't even do her justice," he stated with an odd amount of certainty. While Merlyn addressed the idea of her breaking free during the use of this 'mysterious dream woman' Cador spoke of, the Spirit Knight moved yet again. He drew closer and closer to the sorceress, his visage implying a clear challenge as he leaned forward. Out went his hand, and if uninterrupted, that very hand would peel back the succubus' hood until Cador could stare into those glowing eyes of hers. "That is a good question, Merlyn. Would I risk it? I may consider it a training exercise to strengthen my resolve. Besides, it isn't as if I intend to relive a dream. I'd much prefer the idea of starting a new one from a different perspective."

[Apollymi]

"In this case you can talk... it pleases me to know you understand my plight," said Kolin. She found this man quite refreshing. He was about what she could ask for, beautiful, blonde, decently tooled and fairly clever. His nature as a rather upright individual, who brings home criminals for punishment instead of executing them also makes him legitimately less dangerous than most as well. It was becoming easier and easier to see an endgame where she lived her happy life ruling the world, the heads of her enemies on pikes and this lad at her disposal to use as she saw fit. "I'm sure if you work towards it, you may see yourself reach such a podium~" she mused. She couldn't give too much, it was far too early. Beyond that, she'd given him a bit of a geography lesson. Perhaps she would do a bit more, make sure he knew what she had in store for him. She moved around her desk looking at this map with a raised brow. She had to start making plans as if she knew she'd easily reach her kingdom, after all there was another kingdom to seed her way into there after. "I need to think for a while, you may sit, we have time..." she mentioned to Arthur. She intended to write some letters do some small business and the like. All with Arthur in her presence. He would only achieve a greater reward after shew as sure of his worth the rest of the way. Though she'd already told him her plan, she still needed to make sure he was trained to properly handle her needs. To do what she told him, to wait when she said so, and to be available as she needed. That was what she required.

While Arthur was being broken in like a good little guard dog, Cador and Merlyn flirted both by way of banter and by way of action. "Well if a holy man couldn't resist, it's a wonder you, the Not-So-Steadfast-Spirit Knight... survived your nap~" she said with much sarcasm. Of course, this was all in good fun. She wondered if this was too much, but decided sometimes too much was exactly enough, she often felt that way to start with. Besides, she'd been waiting for quite a long time for someone whose company she could enjoy, she'd take quite a large interest in this for as long as she possibly could. Of course, this joking was surely coming to a close, as the man known as the Spirit Knight made his way steadily towards her, a challenge clearly present on his face. What would he do, to Merlyn? Pull back her hood was the strangely normal answer to that question. It peeled back revealing those silver white locks of hers framing her narrow face. She'd look up gently and into his own eyes, with her glowing magenta ones as if studying his face. His words hit her ears and caused the corners of her lips to twitch upwards in response. "Oh? Starting anew... Sir Cador? Well, I do very much enjoy a man of action... let's create this new dream of yours~" she said with teasing words. Still no physical movements from her, but the world around them began to shift little by little. A territory was being created around this pair like the gentlest shift from reality to a dream but controlled in a much stranger way. From the outside it would appear that he was at his post and she was laying within the cell, but around them the world would change to a scenery which suited Sir Cador's desires. Such was her nature as a succubus, admittedly that wouldn't be the only change to happen this day, but she supposed it was best he find out those other things on his own.

[Bloodedge]

"You flatter me," he replied with the lightest chuckle. Surely there was a great sizable difference between himself and Leorio, but he took the clause as an honest compliment. For just a moment, it seemed he and Kolin were having a normal conversation, as if they could have a proper interest in one another. Of course, there was some amount of interest on either side... though neither would end in anything normal, nor for any good reason. It was, again, quite a shame. "I will do my best to meet expectations." He had nothing else to say about his future as king. Another word, and Arthur would have been spewing more false statements than he would have been comfortable with. Luckily, a bit of reprieve was coming his way as Kolin went about her business. Arthur was undoubtedly ready for a break in all this, so he was quick to bow before the queen and accept the offer. "As you wish. Do let me know if you need anything else of me," he said, taking a seat not far from Kolin thereafter. He, too, actually had some thoughts to process. . .

How did Cador survive his nap? If he remembered correctly, he had been close─ so very close to something rather interesting. It was such a terrible decision brought about due to the passive effect of a succubus, and yet... he felt its pull long after said succubus' image was removed from sight. What could he do other than act on his thoughts, just to ease his clearly plagued mind? Yes, that was logical. Being the 'man of action' Merlyn claimed him to be, and claimed to favor, he did away with the hood which kept Merlyn from his gaze. He was enchanted anew, but willingly this time around. As such, he managed to actually keep his words in-line as reality around Merlyn and himself changed. Gone was that dusty old dungeon cell, replaced over time by lush, lakeside grass. The wall behind Merlyn was instead the trunk of a sequoia tree with a passable gap through the base of said trunk. These images came to life via Merlyn's Territory Creation while Cador leaned into the succubus, lifting her head with a tilt of the chin. Would he kiss her? No. Though the scenery could have been a thing to misconstrue, Cador did not approach Merlyn from a point of romance. This was a simple matter of... desire, and the Spirit Knight's first act was to slowly drag his tongue up Merlyn's neck, while his eyes continued gazing deeply into her face.

[Apollymi]

The approach of Cador came with a change in the scenery around the pair. Merlyn was quite interested in what the mind of Sir Cador desired in this moment, and the lush lakeside greenery and being nestled against a tree, were indeed worthy of appraisal. Too bad, she didn't get the chance to take her eyes off the man before her. Sir Cador completely did away with her hood, and given the look on his face, had completely given himself to the enchantment which was her existence. No longer did he fight against his own actions, at least not in any normal way. No. The man instead tilted her chin upwards to... "Hmphf~" a gentle whimper passed through Merlyn's lips. She didn't know what she expected but this man slowly dragging his tongue along the length of her neck was strangely stimulating. Sir Cador gave off the air of a romantic, but he'd also spoken of his trauma. She wasn't confused about his actions, but they still stirred her body in a unique fashion. Her pale skin almost instantly gained a light pink tint as heat settled within her visage. "Oh my with a look like that one has to wonder, if I am predator or prey in this situation~" she couldn't stop herself from speaking in such a way, but it was quite true. She found herself watching this man's face as he gazed at her with an intensity that she might have previously assumed was not native to his being. Her unoccupied hands began to move... he was so close and so very willing, right? Her hands began moving, nimble fingers gently slipping apart layers of clothing and undoing buttons not on her own body, with one hand. Her other hand strangely would be found braced against his shoulder as if ready to push off at any moment. This situation seemed like it would become rather dangerous rather quickly but... that wasn't really a problem. She could go with it, after all... she also had problems committing.

[Bloodedge]

All things considered, Cador hadn't even taken note of the changes to their surroundings. He simply found Merlyn too tantalizing to resist at this point; his attention was more focused than it had ever been. This amount of excitement was something he'd not yet known in this world. The typical salty flavor found in skin was not salty at all, but instead... something innately sweet to taste. The slow approach he'd taken with this extensive lick was just what he should have done; he was able to savor the unusual bouquet of succubus flesh. How many could say they knew such a thing in this world? Surely very few in the current day and age, but Cador could be counted among them... and soon, he would join an additional demographic. The expression Cador wore was apparently something noteworthy, according to Merlyn. For her to feel preyed upon was an irony in itself, considering how his libido had been activated by her mere existence. While one of Cador's hands pressed against the tree trunk behind Merlyn, his other hand rose to brush along the side of her face. Up and up it went, just as slowly as his tongue ─ which had begun its descent by the time ─ until his fingers began slipping into her hair near its roots. "Don't tell me you were foolish enough to think that mattered? If you have some intention of being a predator, feel free to predate... Merlyn," he spoke slowly but surely, bringing his clause to its end with a simple whisper into the succubus' ear. Of course, it wasn't all a matter of simplicity. In speaking the woman's name, he also took the time to bring his teeth together gently─ albeit with her earlobe betwixt the rows.

[Apollymi]

Merlyn did feel preyed upon and it was indeed ironic. She knew what her existence meant to an average man, and as such she was the one who could be considered predator. A well-dressed, soft-looking... sweet tasting.... hunter. Instead of overpowering those who she would feed upon, her very existence sought to lull it into a false sense of security. She was a being who was by her very nature desirable. Even so, the amount of desire seen within the face of a Knight was.... surprising. Maybe she'd simply had an irregular thought pattern about it because of the one who was immune to her? Regardless, she was finding herself as much at Cador's mercy as he was apparently slave to her visage. Regardless another small whimper escaped this white haired lass, as fingers brushed against her face only to find themselves buried in the roots of her hair. His words implied that their positions in this particular endeavor didn't matter. His words came off as a bit of a challenge but accompanied by action. Each word spoken against her ear, caused her skin to break out in goose flesh. Was it strange she enjoyed the way he was speaking to her? Maybe not... she was after all a creature of desire, and feeding into his, served her own needs as well. Too bad there was a simple truth here and it was... she enjoyed very deeply the way he spoke her name. Even more so when it was accompanied by the feeling of his teeth closing in on her earlobe. Tingles shot through Merlyn's body as that hand upon his shoulder tensed. "I... ah... hardly thought it mattered Sir Cador..." she managed with only a minor hiccup. Those still moving fingers of hers found the flesh of his torso beneath his shirt, the feeling of her bare finger tips against such flesh was magically enhanced. It was sure to give increased sensation even as she only gently traced the line of his waist. "But since you said I should feel free..." didn't finish this statement, though there was a glint of deviousness in those eyes of hers. Merlyn leaned upwards planting her lips against the flesh of his neck only to open her mouth and trace the largest vein on the left side with her tongue. If her fingers caused extra sensation, her mouth making contact with his person would surely do something more. Additionally, such a thing would cause her to gain some amount of energy and understanding of him. Strangely she'd become more in-tune with this man's subconscious over the course of this interaction. Her physical features shifting to suit his desires.

[Bloodedge]

Of course it didn't matter. Cador had a thirst, and Merlyn was the only thing fit to 'drink' as it were. Whether he drank for himself, or had that beverage poured into his mouth, the result would be the same─ he would be sated. As dainty fingers found their way to his very flesh, his teeth dragged their way to the edge of Merlyn's earlobe, pulling it along briefly before slipping off. Without moving too far away at all, he spoke once more. "I did say that, but are you so sure you have it in you? You've left so much to my whims, after all," he teased. Perhaps he should not have been so instigative in his approach, as he was soon learning how much more a succubus had to offer. Even an act so simple as the touch of a finger had him swooning, and the lips and mouth upon the most sensitive area of his neck sent him to another plane of reality. In a few short moments, he felt such ecstasy that he almost imagined Merlyn gaining an even more appealing visage. These changes he imagined gave the succubus' otherwise petite form a more filled-out appearance─ more of an 'hourglass figure' as it were. Surely it was only his imagination, but the result was a compulsion to strip away Merlyn's robe starting at the top. By the time his hand made contact with her breast, he took pause immediately upon having a shocking realization.

Oh. He wasn't imagining those changes after all─

[Apollymi]

"Mmm~" there was another small sound to leave Merlyn's lips as Sir Cador's teeth tugged gently at her earlobe. His words struck her in the next moment, and she could only playfully smirk while looking into the man's face. He truly had no idea, how very passive a power like Merlyn's could be and how much it could seep into him. "I feed on desire Sir Cador, a bit of deference to your whims is exactly how I have it in me~" Came the woman's cheeky reply. By the time the man began to strip her, her body caught up to his desires. This new form he granted her, which played up to his preference wasn't unfamiliar to her at all. Her hands more fully made contact with his person as her mouth moved downward. She nipped at his neck as his hand came in contact with her newly enlarged bust size and she took notice of his pause. She couldn't help but find such a thing amusing after all. "So conservative Sir Ca-dor~ This size is more natural to my native being," she managed as her hand found the button at his waist. Now wasn't the time to discuss the fact that she'd purposefully chosen an Avatar more petite than she was, to be a succubus. Such things didn't matter as her form could change at any point she wished. More teasing was in order instead... "Well, minus the tattoos and piercings, I suppose... how amusing~" she stated with heavy breaths. Though she was indeed a succubus, the amount of desire he had for her, was very directly connected to the amount she felt in such moments. She was practically swooning with every touch. She pressed herself more closely into him, taking the initiative granted by his pause. She dragged her tongue down from his collar bone stopping to look up at him. "Don't go withholding that hospitality now... Sir Cador~"

[Bloodedge]

The succubus Merlyn fed on desire implicitly. That was fair enough, but Cador wasn't going to be taking blame for her demeanor. This creature of lust was as she should be, and any fault of his would be simply finding what lay beneath the surface. Of course, he would soon discover that Merlyn naturally responding to his whims was a more prevalent thing than he could have imagine. Truly, she even adjusted her physical state of being to what he would have considered a more ideal partner's figure. To put icing on the proverbial cake, she mentioned that such a physique was at least closer to her natural state of being, bar some amount of piercings and tattoos. Cador smiled, hardly avoiding a slight laugh after receiving such information. "Tattoos, really? Imagine a goth-punk succubus. I would give it a shot," he said cheekily.
