~~~ Brothel, 2F, Variel's Room ~~~
(Reabyne, Nina, Aiko)
"Suit yourself," Variel said as her gaze drifted over to Nina, though it was quickly stolen back by Reabyne disrobing and heading for the bed. Tilting her head, she watched with a grin on her lips, clearly a little amused by the other woman's attempt. Idly, she pushes the door closed, and then several clicks as a trio of locks are moved into place. Then, she slips across the room to the window, closing the shutters, and locking them on the inside as well... hesitating there, at the window, peering out through the narrow crack that remained even after the shutters were closed.
"On the desk behind the one divider is fine, yeah?" Variel answered Aiko as she turned from the window, the brief fleeting look of worry fading as she pulled back a cheerful demeanor. Her eyes drift between each woman, and she nods, moving over to the bed herself, confident in her steps, and sliding in. Scooting across her knees, her hands slip out to take Reabyne's shoulders and, if allowed, would guide her to be upon her back in the middle of the bed.
"Let's start small, hm?" Variel said as she slipped a leg over Rea's stomach, straddling the woman facing up toward her head.
"Close your eyes, relax, and enjoy some new experiences... " For a moment, she held still, then she licked her lips, the tongue she used... longer than one might expect. From there, she leaned down, nuzzling her way to Rea's neck where she began to kiss: one, two, three. As she felt the bed shift behind her from Aiko's presence, Variel extended a hand toward her, to pull and guide her over to join, clearly having no issues with taking the lead...
~~~ Outside ~~~
(Tavish)
Tavish was able to gather up quite a bit of 'business' for the brothel, and more, for the tip jar. In all, of the coppers, silvers, and gold pieces he wound up with by the end of the day, it totalled somewhere around 22 gold pieces. The guards had eventually turned up, giving him a slight reprimand, but no fine, and his unwillingness to share Eris' location left them somewhat frustrated. At the same time, with night coming in, they didn't seem to desire to press the point. If anything, the two who approached him looked quite eager to get back to the barracks, and did so, at the earliest opportunity once Tavish had recieved his slap on the wrist.
~~~ Stables ~~~
(Eris)
Eris' name was used quite... profusely, as were many others. Slut, whore, tramp, in the end, one of them even stumbled over the words.
"Eris, you need a new name... whyadda think boys?" A few suggestions came out, though they did settle on something... fitting, by the end. Names weren't all they used, though, every part of Eris ended up taking a turn. Some men, in the time it took for others, even coming back for seconds. What's more, it seemed the enterprising merchants had a bit of knack for business.
People sent their way by Tavish were charged a small fee, and allowed to use the back of their carriage for the fun. It wasn't the most comfortable, but the padded seats did beat the rough, hard ground, or having to explain Eris' presence to the innkeeper, or worse, the guards, who never ended up coming to interrupt the festivitives. In the end, even Eris' body had limits, and she succumbed to the exhaustion of her task. Given how many people she ended up seeing, and her lack of knowledge about just how many men were in town, it would be easy to accept that she had accomplished her task successfully. However, whether she did or not was another matter.
~~~ Hours Later, Outside ~~~
(Tavish, Eris)
Beatrix gave a small wave from her place outside Gray Inn. Her back resting upon the wall, still clad in that armor from earlier, and a large blade resting against the wall along her side. If not for her, and two guardsmen--a man and a woman--who strolled through the city's center, one could easily believe this town was a ghost town. Not a single other soul was outside, not a single light could be seen in any window, nor a peep of sound. Even the Blacksmith's clanging hammer, which had gone until the sun sunk, ceased.
It was easy to feel what had changed with the town. Everyone was uneasy, everyone was scared. Doors and windows were locked tight, and those wishing to enter and leave the buildings needed some assistance. That is to say: everyone but Beatrix. She stood there with a big grin on his face to go with the size of her weapon, never mind the two flasks on her hip, one of which she immediately offered to Tavish as he approached.
"Hope you don't plan on fighting sober. This'll either be a hell o' a lot of boring.... " She pushed off the wall, taking up the blade with her other hand as she took a few strides forward.
"Or require a big drink after, but why wait?" Cocking her head toward the building, she gave a shrug after.
"I haven't seen nothing yet. Wanna circle around, pick up your lady friend, then... well, I'm open to a lot o' things. Haven't see neither head nor tail of her, either, since she went into those stables."
Speaking of Eris, though, the young woman would awake in the back of the carriage. Nude, and her body both slick in places, and sticky in others, covered in all manner of dried, or still drying fluids and juices. Her things were resting upon a nearby seat, whether brought by Tavish or one of her "customers," is anyone's guess, given the woman likely didn't recall them getting there. Just flashes of a tangled mess of bodies, cocks, pleasure and, even some pain. Still, it's fortunate, for even within the stables she can feel the chill of the night air, and the breeze that made it nip at those who were outside.
If not for the moon, and a clear night, it would even be difficult to see. Without any lights on though, the town was pretty dark.
~~~ Brothel, Later That Night ~~~
(Aiko, Nina, Reabyne)
Nina had a front row seat to the mass of tangled female bodies upon the bed, able to see, and hear, every moan, groan, and whimper that came from the ladies there. Variel herself quite good at drawing out whatever noise she wished. At some point, the fun was stopped as Ophleia knocked upon the door, and checked in, but a few passing words from Variel sent her on her way--her footsteps still audible in the hallways now and again as she started her own nightly patrol, trying to protect her brothel in whatever way she could.
The rooms, though, were well protected from outside sounds, which made it difficult to tell whether or not Skyler, and Tugara also stayed the night. At the same time, when al the fun finally had to come to an end--as all good things do--it made it easier to sleep, whether those within got much, though, is another story entirely. One thing's for certain: they didn't sleep soundly all through the night.
It's difficult to say what time it was, but it was well after dusk that both Reabyne, and Nina would find themselves awoken to a soft noise. A dull thud, thud, thud. Both Variel, and Aiko, remained asleep, half-pinning Reabyne in the bed, while Nina was against the wall on her own without the same issues. The shutter that Variel had closed earlier now lay open, and was 'flapping' some and lightly banging against a nearby table. Perhaps it was the breeze, though, perhaps not, for after a few seconds, it stopped.
It was instead replaced with the soft groan of the wood, starting near the window, but proceeding across the floor to the bed. Moonlight came in from the open window, providing enough light to see well enough for eyes adjusted for the dark, yet, not a thing could be seen. Was it just the building settling from an abnormally cold night, imaginations running wild, or something else entirely?
