A Change of Body, A Change of Heart ( MercuryKnight777 & CutePhoenix )

((Well, I actually use to use just one, but after seeing an RP friend doing the same for a long time, I started as well. They're also the one that showed me ^_^ for the first time.))

Kira just stood there, saying or doing nothing after the slap. Even when Ezri healed her and explained, she didn't react. Though, once she pulled her hand back a moment, Kira just bust out laughing.

"Please. I've gone through worse in the last few days. A slap is nothing that's gonna hurt or upset me. Just relax sweety." Kira explained, still laughing as she reassuringly put her hands on Ezris shoulders.

"It's gonna take alot more than a simple slap, and unintended harsh words to make me think less of you. Hell, you're my damn hero. Not to mention, I've got a killer crush on you. You'll have to kill me to get me away from your side girly." she continued, withdrawing her hands, but still laughing a bit.
 
Ezri blushed again at the laughter and the words, but smiled. "Ah... g-good.. I was afraid I'd offended you." She tilted her head at that last comment though.

"Oh, well that's... very nice of you. But you really don't want to be around me that much. It may offer safety tonight, but last night.. well that sort of thing is common for me. I hunt those kinds of men. Rapists. Child molestors. Necrophiles. All manner of those who blaspheme against Dibella by perverting the gift of sex into something painful and wicked. Not to mention, because I am still a Paladin, I deal with more general problems on my journies. Dibella guides me where I am needed, praise be." She made a holy gesture at saying that. "So you see, following me would just put you in danger."
 
"Well, you aren't the only sexy girl whose dealt with danger on a near daily basis. And I know how to handle myself. Sure, those guys got the better of me, but they outnumbered me and caught me by surprise. I may not be as good with a sword as you, obviously, but I'm by no means helpless. Besides, I was just passing through here, on my way to nowhere. It'd be nice to have a friend to keep me company." Kira replied, hoping she could get Ezri to let her accompany her. At least, for a little while, so she could work her magic.
 
Ezri pursed her lips, the rest of her expression inscrutable behind her hood.She thought for a long, quiet moment. Then, finally, she spoke.

"Very well. For a while, perhaps. It is pretty lonely walking between towns, and it is no accident that I entered the tavern at the moment I did. I won't ignore providence. Dibella has sent me to you, and seeing as you have the courage and so you claim the martial ability to deal with my lifestyle, you may be my traveling companion." She rose one hand, the cloak brushing aside. On the outside the illusion was maintained, but the inside of the cloak one could glance while it was open was a cascading, rippling veil of feathers. That hand held up a single finger. "But. You must follow my commands. This is for your own safety. If I say duck, do not question it, just do it. If I say run, flee and don't look back. If you do not agree, you will stay right here. Is that acceptable?"
 
"My, someone sure got serious awfully quick." Kira joked.

"But yes, that is acceptable." she quickly added, so as to not give the impression that she didn't want to go with her. Then, without hesitation, she stepped forward and gave the shorter Ezri a peck on the forehead.

"There. That is a show of thanks for allowing me to come with you. You've already done so much for me already." she added with a sweet smile. While in her head, she was thinking "Dear god, and I thought her skin felt great on my hands......" This was yet another time where her self control wanted to wane, and she wanted to pounce on her. She was starting think it might be worth a swift death, if she were to die fucking Ezri, consentually or not.
 
Ezri was taken aback by the step forward and the kiss. She looked down and to the side, pulling the hood down over her face as much as she could and muttering a thanks in return to Kira. The aasimar turned and walked from the room, keeping the illusion of her cloak in place when she went downstairs. She didn't want to make a big deal. In the city plenty of strange and fantastic beings and species walked, though Ezri remained pretty rare even there. Out here in the rural areas, she would cause a ruckus with her wings and clothing. Any sort of adventuring types were rare, and one of Ezri's extremely bizarre conglomerate of cultures right down to her Galatian accent.

((Note to any who read this: This means she sounds like she's from France. She says 'ze' instead of 'the' and such, even slips some french words in. I use real languages and accents to substitute for national ones in fantasy settings as it's handy shorthand and high fantasy does it all the time anyway. See LOTR, for accents not languages. I'm just too lazy plus always forget when I try to type this out. Substitute in your mind accordingly when reading her dialogue.))

"Come, let's get breakfast." She took Kira downstairs, paying for a meal for the both of them. Ezri still drew looks even like this, just for being a stranger and dressed so mysteriously. Everyone assumed she was some sort of holy woman, and since she was she chose not to specify what type to them, just eating her meal in silence at the table they had chosen unless Kira spoke to her.
 
"Since we're gonna be travling buddies for a while, can I ask you some stuff? Nothing too personal, like when you first time was. But more friendly stuff, like any brothers or sisters?" Kira asked as they ate. The first time stuff was obviously just playful teasing, but the last part, about the siblings was serious. While Kira knew about Paladins, she knew little of Ezri's race. Just some info here and there. Ever since her.........predicament, she avoided big cities. The more people, the more likely she was to run into other horny men looking to cop a feel, or more. And that would lead to a akward conversation on the future. While she didn't like to admit, she knew that one way or another, Ezri would come to find out the truth about her.
 
Ezri looked up at her when she spoke. She had the hood of her cloak down, exposing her face to the world. That much wouldn't really draw stares with her cloak still hiding all but the one arm that was using her fork. "No, that's perfectly alright. I have two siblings. My sister Raquel is the eldest, my brother Garrin is the middle child, and I am the youngest." She thinks for a moment, then adds. "If our names seem mismatched, it's because those are their middle names. Mine is Merle. ((pronoucned like Meryl, it's just spelled funny)) Since we are aasimar, but live in Galatia, we use our celestial names for public image. Our middle names are for family and close friends. But, ah, yes. My sister serves as a Paladin of Var, and my brother a Cleric of Var. They are both well respected members of the Order of St. Voloshin."
 
"Wow, quite family to live up to. My dad's just a blacksmith, and I have no siblings." Kira explained. This was actually true. She figured there was no reason to hide it, as it'd do no harm in her panty quest.

"What about your mom and dad? What are they like and are higher ups in this order as well?" she continued. This was becoming a mix of curiousity, and her lecherous intentions. This was the first of her kind Kira had met in person. Only natural for even her to be a tad curious about things. It was human nature after all.
 
Ezri smiled at the subject. "Oh not. My mother is a retired Paladin of Var. My father was a soldier of Dardaros. Galatia and Dardaros were at war fifty years ago, when they met. My mother and my father met when she ran him through with her claymore. Somehow, she missed every major artery and organ in his body. It was a miracle, but he survived. She took him as a prisoner and while she nursed him back to health, they started talking. Two years later my sister was born." She seemed to love telling the tale, a huge grin on her face. She loved the romance of how her parents met. If attempted homicide could be romantic. Which apparently it could.
 
"Wow, that's like a fairy tale!" Kira replied, getting that same excited twinkle in her eyes.

"You must be a princess then." she added with a giggle. While nothing in her story suggested royalty, she was just joking. Cause you know, all fairy tales must have a princess somewhere them.

"Which one did you get those gorgeous wings from? Those things seem quite handy. Wish I had me a pair. Though, all I got going for me is a killer body, but as you know, that can lead to more trouble than good." she added with a sigh as she thought back to last nights events.
 
She giggled. "We are not part of the Imperial Family. But the Richelieu family is a noble house." That explained alot of her bearing. There was indeed something aristocratic about her. It was shielded by pure innocence and naivety that most nobles - who indulged in power and money for corrupt purposes - completely lacked. But it was there, the con man could see it. The mannerisms the subtleties of etiquette. Maybe she hadn't noticed because they were foreign ones, maybe she'd just kept it to herself.

"However, I am... disowned at the moment." She looked down at her food, poking at a potato with her fork as her cheerful eyes grow sad. "They've served Var for eight generations. Since my ancestor, the angel Marilyn, whose name my middle name is a variation of, settled in Galatia and took a mortal husband. To serve Dibella... is shameful, in their eyes. They think I sleep with people for money like a priestess. But I am forbidden sexual contact that pleases me unless I am in love. All I may do is give please to others. My brother is the only one who would talk to me long enough to listen and understand I'm not a prostitute... neither are my sisters of the silk, but that is beside the point."

She was terribly open and honest about such matters to a stranger, in a public place. Perhaps she was too pure to lie? Or maybe it was just that no one ever asked her. She was an intimidating figure, even with her short stature. Clearly supernatural, most common folk didn't mess with such an obvious adventurer. The ones who traveled alone without similarly out of place individuals were usually avoided out of fear for their implied power. Of course with a Paladin it was more a reverence for them. People helped when they could but thought them unapproachable and aloof since they spoke to the Gods directly.

((This'll be it for me for the night, GF is gonna walk in the door momentarily. I will be on in approximately 10 hours from this post. ^_^ Thanks Cutie, this is fun. Ta ta.))
 
((Ugh, I really hate my bad memory sometimes. Due to this whole PSN crap and a weird email from paypal, I went on a password changing marathon last night with my various email accounts, and accounts elsewhere. No biggy..........except I forgot a number of them right after changing them.-_- I managed to get access back to my accounts, and now have them all written down. But god, it was an annoyingly stressful night. I don't think I was hacked from anything though. The only thing I had trouble logging into was my google account I use for youtube, but I think I simply changed it earlier in the day and forgot. Besides, even if it was hacked, the only thing I use it for is youtube. So what would they do? Make stupid comments on videos?^_^))

"Meh, maybe they'll change their minds some day. I got booted out from my fathers house after an incident with a local rich boy that lived in the area. Been on my own ever since." Kira replied. She intentionally made it vague enough so that Ezri could draw her own conclusions on what this incident was. Wasn't far from the truth. She left her home town after an incident with a local nobles son. Though, it wasn't sexual. Just invovled her ripping him off and making off with a fair bit of money........which she lost long ago.

"I would ask more of this god and goddess stuff you paladins are so giddy for, but I don't think I'll understand any of it. Religion aint my thing." she added with a light shrug. She was curious to Ezri's response of that, as she wondered if she was the kind to try and convert someone to her religion. But even that, it all just a part of her plan.
 
((That sounds sucktastic, glad you worked it out. BTW, WICKED jealous of your new Sidekick tag. I would've volunteered for the hunt but given my newbie status I didn't see the point :p))

Ezri's church did not teach conversion, not like that. Indeed conversion itself was a bit of a different concept in this world. The polytheistic culture did not consider it blasphemous to call to other Gods. Each had their purpose in the world, the thing they saw to. Everyone prayed to Dibella, if they wanted luck in romance or new fire in the bedroom. Everyone prayed to Var when they desired justice for a crime committed against them. True, most people worshipped one god more than others. Around here the farmers all worshipped Alessia, Goddess of the Harvest, primarily. But most cities had multiple, even inter-faith temples, and the Gods did not war with one another for servants.

Of course not all gods were in this alliance, some were quite evil and did indeed try to turn people from the light. But Ezri coudl tell Kira didn't worship such a being, so conversion would have simply been rude, trying to steal a worshipper from a god allied with Dibella.

"Oh, well... it is sort of complicated. I have been studying our religion for many years, but there is still so much I don't know. But the basic tennants of Dibellism are not that difficult to understand. We believe in free love and free... well... other things. Dibella teaches us that spreading joy and love is the truest way to conquer evil. Most think us sluts, but we are only trying to bring happiness to the world. Afterall, who would want to go to war when you could just put down your sword, shake your partner's hand, and go half and half on a temple priestess?"

The tone she said it with indicated she was not necessarily offended by that philosophy, but that she didn't really agree with it either. It was her church's way, but Ezri was uncertain about using sex to stop wars.
 
((Yea, I think I ended up changing my pw's for all my stuff like 2-4 times last night, due to forgetting and what not.:p And thanks.......didn't even notice I had it.^_^))

"That's a.........rather interesting way to put it. Can't say I entirely agree. I mean, if some princess's kingdom were conquered, and she betrothed to the new ruler, to promote unity amongst the two people, that sounds all nice and good. At least, until someone finds out the new ruler smacks her around, and performs other unspeakable sexual acts." Kira started.

"Sex is great. It feels good, it's a way for people to connect deeply with one another emotionally, so on and so forth. But, it's got it's downsides as well. It can be just as dark and twisted, as it can be great and wonderful." she added, taking a deep breath after her little rant.

"Oh uh..........sorry for prattling on there. Where were we?" she asked, sweet smile lighting up her lovely face.
 
Ezri makes a face at her suggestion. Not one of disgust at her, but what she said, in a manner that indicates she agrees with Kira's logic. She shook her head when she ended the speech. "No. You're entirely correct. You of all people know that, with what almost happened to you last night. That is why I exist. To stamp out those who corrupt Dibella's gift." She looked to the place where she slew five men just hours ago.

It's scary, kind of. She's completely sweet and innocent, pure in a way you only here of in legends. But the coldness in her eyes makes it clear she didn't feel the tiniest sliver of compassion for those men and was probably wishing the most horrible tortures in Hell upon them.
 
"And I think the gods you exist. I mean, the chances of your specificially, coming into the tavern at that precise moments. Almost like divine intervention was used to get us to meet. Maybe fate has something important in store for the two of us." Kira replied, laughing lightly, unaware of how right she really was.

"Maybe I'm secretly some kind of princess that will unite the land, and you my eternal knight. Or maybe we're star crossed lovers, fated to me and be joined forever." she teased, not really being serious about it, obviously. She seemed to be losing herself in these little innocent interactions with Ezri. Though, while her intent was to still get in Ezri's panties, she seemed to actually be having genuine fun just talking with her and such. Even she herself didn't know, or even realize.
 
Ezri giggled at her tales, especially the one about being lovers. "Well, those would be some interesting developments. But of course it was divine. It was providence. Don't you see? Dibella guided me here. Do not question it, or think it might be coincidence. The Gods exist. I have spoken to Dibella and been in her presence, physically. Your salvation was no mistake."

Of course she didn't realize Dibella had brought her here so the tavern owner and the captain of the city guard would fall in love over the tragedy of her near murder. The owner's late husband was his friend, and he'd asked Dibella to send someone to his wife to ease her lonliness, someone who would care for her. And in a few years time, she would die, and the captain woudl find solace in the one meant to be his wife for eternity as the tavern owner returned to her true husband. Such was the way of the Goddess of Love. Kira had simply stumbled into the owner's fate, unwittingly delaying the men long enough with her own body that she prevented the tavern owner from suffering much deeper traumas before Ezri saved her. It was providence, yes, but not meant for Kira.

When Ezri finished her meal, she placed several times the required amount of money on the table and stood. "Are you ready to depart? I am heading for the city of Kethmar." Kethmar was a very large port city about two days from here. It was known as an international center of trade and a mecca for adventuring types. People of all races and species could be found there, and dangerous jobs from around the continent were posted for brave souls to take. Even someone as odd as Ezri would be only very unusual in Kethmar, instead of the shining beacon of weirdness she was in these rural parts.
 
"Sure am. Lead the way my gorgeous savior." Kira replied, hopping excitedly out of her seat, her large bosom bouncing as she did so, drawing the eyes of the few other people here at this time of morning.

"Though, I am curious about something. How does having a lover work for a paladin?" she asked, as she walked to the door, leading out of the place. This was a serious question for her plan. If she did end up succeeding in seducing Ezri, she wanted to make sure there wasn't some crazy ritual or anything she would be forced to take part in. If bedding her lead to having to sacrifice her life as some kind of sex sacrifice to her god by banging a statue while the churchy people watched..........she would be out of her in an instant. If she was going to bed this perfect specimen, she had to find out if there might some kind of consequences that followed. In the same regard, she wasn't worried about divine justice from the gods or anything for what she was doing. It's not that she didn't believe in them. Just that she thought little of it, thinking why would a god bother with just a single mortal out of an entire world to punish for seduction?
 
Ezri lead them down the road, walking to the side and just a single step ahead. She did not drop the illusion of her cloak, not yet anyway. She would once they were away from the surrounding farms and on the open road. It was curious where she kept her traveling supplies, as she only seemed to wear that scant ceremonial clothing and her sword beneath her wings.

"Ah... it doesn't. I am forbidden from taking physical pleasure from anyone but the person I love. And I have never fallen in love. I am only allowed to provide pleasure to others." A blush could be made out around her hood as she said that, licking her lips for a moment as if remembering a taste. "... But as I have been on the road for some time, I have not been required to pay service to my superiors in the church in a while." As embarrassing as it all was to her, she spoke about it openly. Maybe lying or obfuscating the truth really was beyond her. Or maybe her mentor had ordered her to admit these details to any who asked to help her get over embarrassment.
 
"So, you've gone quite some time without doing...........anything intimate? If so........you aint the only one. Been too long.........FAR too long since I've been able to satisfy my base, human urges. But.......the sexual frustration is bareable. Not like I'm just gonna randomly pounce on someone and go to town or anything." Kira replied, laughing lightly.

"Still, from experience, I can tell you that keeping sexual desire pent up for TOO long, can lead to a bit of trouble, amongst other things." she replied with a sigh. In her case, there was a rather special reason she hadn't partaken in intimate delights in quite a while. One Ezri wouldn't no doubt not expect. That was also another, hidden reason she was glad Ezri had saved her. If those men hadn't of gotten mad and did what they originally planned to do, before Kira mouthed off, chances are..........she might of enjoyed it a bit too much.

((If you can't guess.........his female form is a virgin. While he's had a number of close calls, like in the tavern, in his female form, he has yet to be penetrated.))
 
Ezri shook her head. "As I said, I do not receive pleasure... to... to be blunt... I am not allowed to be touched below the waist. And even then..." She didn't want to give out the rest of the details, clearing her throat. "Even if I had someone to be intimate with, it would be one-way gratification for them. My mentor says I am to practice on any who ask and are worthy of such attention." She didn't really seem to like this mentor. Not because he was a bad one, just because he was trying to break her ethics to accord with the church's standards. Which wasn't a bad thing, but a difficult one with her upbringing.

"If such frustrations are too much, I am not forbidden from self-pleasure. But until I fall in love... it's the cross we bear as Paladins. Sex and Love are both of Dibella's domain, and though we are meant to embrace base lust it must be mixed with love in our cases. Without it we would not be Paladins." Paladins of most faiths just plain didn't date or were very strict and old-fashioned, with sex only happening inside a marriage and divorce being unheard of. Even her restrictions were fairly loose compared to most of her elite class, since she had only mentioned love and not commitment. That might mean that all Kira would have to do is get her infatuated enough to confuse the poor virgin into thinking she loved her. Assuming she wasn't sharper than that, and it was difficult to tell with Ezri's mix of sharp cunning and blissful innocence. One thing she was not is naive, but her own feelings were not something she had studied in books or learned about in travels.
 
((I'm curious. Does this world have fantasy type creatures, like orcs, goblins, elves, minotaurs, etc.? I ask, because if so, I do have a few ideas for such nonhumans having sexual relations with our characters, consentual and non con. Like the stuff planned for my girl, it'll still be plot based, and not just smutty desire satisfying.))

"So, all someone has to do to get you to pleasure them is ask, and show that they're honorable enough to worthy of such acts?" Kira asked. This was more curiousity, than looking for a way to get her in bed. Even if this were the case, Kira wouldn't ask her for pleasure. She still believed a slow, steady seduction would work best. Getting too impatient and rushing in would royally mess stuff up and could permanently insure Kira would NEVER be able to lay with with Ezri.

"Which raises another question. What if some vile person actually managed to best you in combat, and then forced himself on you and violated every part of your body. Would that be considered breaking the code, and worthy of whatever punishment Paladins get?" she went on. While a liar and con artist, one thing that was genuine about Kira was her curiousity. She seemed to rather enjoy herself when finding out new things, such as Paladins, their code, their god, etc.....
 
((I thought that was assumed? This was a D&D character, and this is a high fantasy setting. Assume anything in your usual hihg fantasy grab bag, particularly D&D, is here. So not just elves, high elves and wood elves and dark elves. Orcs, yeah, and bugbears and hobgoblins. Dragons and minotaurs and slimes. All that good stuff is around, but the common folk usually don't see anything like the really basic stuff like goblins or kobolds raiding small towns.Only the types who go out looking for trouble see most of it, and like any such place people who do that are usually supernaturally skilled badasses, even the ones without magic. It's totally in-universe for Kira to be a badass with a sword to the point of holding off a few monsters. I'm assuming they'll only lose to planned traps, overwhelming numbers, or a vastly superior foe like a dragon or a ghost they can't touch with their swords.))

"Basically... yes." Ezri shuddered at the thought of her suggestion. "No, we are not faulted for that. It... has rarely happened to a Paladin of Dibella. But it is not unheard of. We must simply cleanse ourselves with a ritual bath... though the emotional scars... the shame of being degraded like that... those, we must live with as any woman who is assaulted in that vile manner."

She lowered the illusion of her wings now that they were a bit from the village, stopping and looking about. "I believe this is far enough... Stop. We will take a faster form of transportation." She turned to the road behind them, raising the symbol on her neck. It was a gold chain necklace attached to a small golden ring containing a glass pane. (About the size of a quarter) Imprinted on the glass were a pair of red lips, as if from a lip stick mark when a woman kissed them, the holy symbol of her faith. "Sandalphon!"

A shimmer portal of white opened on the road, and from it trotted a magnificent mare. She was pure white and almost seemed to glow. She was already saddled and bridled, stopping next to Ezri and lowering her head. The two touched their forehead together and closed their eyes for a moment, not moving. After it had passed, btoh looked to Kira. "Kira, this is Sandalphon. You may call her Sandy. She says it is nice to meet you, and she will allow you to ride double with me so we do not have to walk the whole way."
 
((Yea, that's what I had planned. When they get overpowered, it'll be due to things like that. Traps, overwhelming numbers and jut flat out strength difference. That won't mean all my ideas will become non con, as I do have ideas that involve at least Kira getting overpower, but still ending in a consentual sexual encounter.))

As with the slaying of the rapists, Kira watched the whole thing rather dumbfounded. Sure, magic wasn't anything odd. Just, Kira herself had little experience with it. She used her skills and good looks to accomplish things, as opposed to magic spells and what not.

"I really need to learn magic." Kira said with a light chuckle and shake of her head.

"So..........what, you speak magical animal talk, or is this a voices in your head type of thing?" she then asked as she came over to Ezri and this creature called Sandy, looking it over with a tilted head. Obviously, this was yet another new thing to her. She had experienced more craziess in the last twenty four hours than she had months before.

"Regardless of how flabbergasted I am at a magical animal appearing out of nowhere and talking to my winged companion........I won't pass up a chance at a free ride." she said with a smile, before getting on. It took a bit of work, as she rarely ever rode anything. But one the less, she managed to get seated securely behind Ezri, arms going around her waist to hold on, so as to not fall of when the creature took off.
