Ah, what a tease! He really did have a tempting smile. "Oh really? Something tells me he's just as fiery and witty as the man who rides him... when he wants to be." I giggled, then gathered myself in, thinking.
"I don't know how much deeper and darker I go really. Jareth died a few years later in a hunting accident when he was thrown from his horse. I decided to go south, and then I met Sebastian..." I trailed off, knowing I'd already told him the rest. "Although there is one mystery I wish I knew the answer to. The night our caravan was attacked... I caught a glimpse of one of the attackers, and he looked vaguely familiar. I only realized after the fact that he looked like one of Sebastian's men who had quit earlier that year, for reasons I regretfully don't know." I thought for a moment. "I just can't help but wonder, did he want revenge on Seb for something? Was he their leader?" I sighed, and thanked the barkeep as another glass of my wine appeared before me. "Its something I wish I knew the answer to, every day."

“Well if we keep drinking like this you may get to see me in a -really- unguarded moment” I saluted her and then listened a bit more. “From my profession I happen to know bandits often make a habit of signing on for a while to get the lay of the land so to speak. It very well could have been something like that.” I shrugged “Such groups also have a tendency to disappear from time to time for various reasons such as in fighting or the law.” I was more than a bit versed on this as one of my recent assignments had been to make such a group disappear. Though that was not something I shared as it had been deemed more disturbing to the lawless if no one knew exactly what happened and then rumors took hold. All the better to offer a deterrence.

I nodded, and took a sip of my wine. It was cooling and refreshing. His words made sense, and sitting back a bit, I felt more at ease. Besides, he should know something about that subject matter with his background, right? I sighed softly, once again ever grateful for companionship.
Something was gnawing at my sanity, something I was curious to no end about, something I was dying to ask someone, anyone, in this City about. I leaned in slightly. "Do you mind if I ask you a slightly personal question?" I really hoped he wouldn't mind, and I didn't think he would... but I just wanted to make sure.

“Absolutely not, ask away. I tend to be pretty open when it comes to most things. Most might say I am too open with information and then they end up waking in the middle of the night screaming.”

"What is the Night Court like?" Okay, so maybe it wasn't really personal, and I'm sure I looked like a wide eyed, bushy tailed fool, but I was really curious to know all about it. I had heard stories, but had never been. Now that I had a decent income to go on though... it had slipped into my thoughts as of late. I wasn't sure what House I'd visit, but it was something of serious consideration, and I craved information about it.

I scratched my head and considered “It depends on the House you go to really. But even for those with tastes that are opposite of my line’s I suppose it comes down to being pampered and indulged.” I sipped some more of my drink “Even if one might go to Mandrake and count being pampered as being flogged and begging for forgiveness” I let out a wistful sigh at such thoughts even though my own manner of indulging my nature was different.

Even though my tastes were probably different than his, the way he described it sounded... heavenly. I shuddered lightly, a tingle of pleasure rolling up my spine. "I've been considering going as of late, although I'm not sure what House I would visit." I pondered, and took another sip of wine.

I deftly hooked her ankle with my own under the table and tugged it a bit closer as I leaned in a little “Well then dear Lorna that begs the question of what is your taste?” I really could not help myself as I am a bit of a predator by nature and she was starting to arouse the hunting urge in me.

I gasped as he pulled me in closer, and I felt my heart begin to pound more loudly, like a bass drum through my veins. I glanced up into his eyes, and saw that dangerous fire, dancing through the blue. "I... I am still a bit confused on what my tastes require of me, Gad. Sometimes, I want to feel loved, soothed, happy... I have times where I feel like dominating, and yet times when I would rather be on the other end of the whip so to speak." I gave a deep laugh. "Although, I'm not sure I'm ready to play Valerian to your Mandrake just yet. The timing just doesn't feel right... yet." A sip of my wine helped me calm my senses.

I nodded as I stroked her calve with my foot “Most are of varied tastes and just do not like to admit it.” I grinned more as her reaction was amusing me on so many levels “As for Valerian to Mandrake things can be so much more complicated and interesting than that. It is after all not about the whip for me but about the game.”
I sipped my drink then added “Sounds like with you as with about anyone who is honest with themselves it comes down to mood.”

His carress felt wonderful, and made my whole body tingle. "My mood can be rather fickle at times though. I'm a bit worried that I'll end up in the Night Court and I'll not be able to make up my mind!" I thought for a moment. "I guess I'll have to end up trying them all, when it comes down to it." I smiled at the thought of my exploration. "Have you sampled them all, Gad?"

“Not a bad plan really and no I have not sampled them all. Despite my surname I am at the end of the day a man of relatively simple means. A third son and all that jazz thus why father saw to it I had a way to earn a proper living.” I motioned to her drink ‘Care to finish our drinks then grab a bottle for a nightcap?”

I nodded. He didn't seem like the type to sample them all, but I had been curious. I glanced outside, and noticed it was nearing dusk. "I think I will pass on getting a bottle. I'm beginning to get a bit tired." As if on cue, I stifled a small yawn, and smiled sheepishly. I finished the last of my glass of wine happily.

“Alright” I bobbed my head and followed her glance as well. With the darkness came danger in a city on edge. But on edge in this city passed for a walk in the park for one like me and so I had no worries. “I just thought I would offer” I did not comment on that she should be careful on her way later as it was not really my concern and she was a grown woman.

"Its appreciated." I gave him a small smile. "Thanks for the company, Gad. It was nice to meet you." I stood up, and turned back to look at him a last time. "If you ever find yourself in need of company, or perhaps a new mount for guarding those caravans of yours, you know I'm always here. I wish you well, and I hope it won't be too long before I see you again." And on that note, I slipped off and heading out the door, began to head in the direction of that sleepy little boarding house that I currently called home.

“Your welcome and I will be around I am sure” I offered her a salute touching my brow with my index finger and watched her go. I figured I had a few more drinks left in me since I did not have watch till the following evening.
