Devotion Like None Other (1x1 W/PoisonousIvee)

[PoisonousIvee]

"Hardly," he replied, "I don't know you well enough to have you in my bath."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Mhm, I see.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She sounded offended, maybe even hurt? Who was to say, she was a fickle being.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She made a noise and drank the rest of her ale. "I've never met a man who didn't enjoy bathing with a woman, whether he knew her or not.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"It isn't right for a man to do that, let alone a knight." He said.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Ahh, that's it, isn't it? Knighthood.. but uh.. the funny thing is.. you're in service to.. me, right?" She asked

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Being a soldier for your sacred name does not make me a common harlot." He caught on pretty fast to her implication.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She laughed a bit. "Fair enough.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Perhaps one day...when I see you as less of a god.." He said, but it wasn't meant as an insult.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She nodded. "I understand.."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He hoped so, cuz replaying his words in his own head sounded wrong. But trying to explain himself seemed silly.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

The food was finished, and she was taking the time to enjoy the bath for herself, relaxing and sighing gently.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

Derek was in the other bathing room, soaking in the tub as he sat alone with his thoughts.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She was beautiful, and in a messed up way, charming. It was hard not to think about her.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He couldn't think such things about her. He was supposed to be a champion in her name. It would be disrespectful of him to think such impure thoughts.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He heard her voice. "Derek, it's lonely in this area of the baths.."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I'm sorry to hear that.." He replied, "There's a reason for that though."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Still lonely.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"An all knowing God and you can't conjure a companion?" He said, closing his eyes to relax.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"I'm trying to summon one but he seems rather resistant.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"You can't make yourself appear at his side?" He asked, "It would be odd, though, to be at the bar and a naked woman is beside you.."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"I'm not sure he would want me to appear." She said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"All knowing and you're uncertain." He half mocked, "Incredible."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Well, he seems a little conflicted, is all.. but, I suppose I could appear at his side.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"By all means." He said, "If it will make you happy."
