Fantasy BDSM?

"I know," she said softly, feeling his sincerity.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Just tell me what to do," he said

 

[celestialdragon]

"Go talk things over with Jester and the others, I need to. . . be alone for a minute or two," she said softly. "I'll be out shortly."

 

[bindingeagle]

Derrick nodded and left.

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika began to relax and try to calm down. The fire in her hand had ceased, but she created a fireball and played with it a little bit.

 

[bindingeagle]

Derrick had brought Jep back with him when Al'ika finally left the back room. "Ready when you are," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Alright. Jester, find anything useful?" She asked sweetly.

 

[bindingeagle]

"There were four shepherds that came in for a rest last night," he said. "These are their names here."

 

[celestialdragon]

Al'ika looked at the list of the names and a chill went through them. "Someone go question them," she said quietly. "Now."

Jep took Derrick out to haul in one of the men. "I hope the new kid pulls his weight," Jester said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"He's a good kid," Al'ika said, fixing herself a beer and taking a swig. "He's serious about it."

 

[bindingeagle]

"That's good," he said, having some wine to steady himself before the interrogation.

 

[celestialdragon]

"P.S.- you were right. That experience was thrilling," she said, smiling.

 

[bindingeagle]

"I'm glad," he said. "What was it like?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"Thrilling," she breathed. "Absolutely thrilling. And young Derrick came in twice, looking for someone."

 

[bindingeagle]

"Who was more Embarrassed, you or him?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"Derrick never found us."

 

[bindingeagle]

"That's good, I guess," he said. "Things kind of get messy when you do actually get caught."

 

[celestialdragon]

"Exactly," she said sweetly. "Had asked me if I was alright, since my face was red."

 

[bindingeagle]

"He's more intuitive than he looks, I'll give him that," Jester said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"I think he bought the 'I overexerted myself' excuse," Al'ika said dryly. "Oh, and I want to apologize for earlier. I just feel like people are just. . . babying me, and you know how I am."

 

[bindingeagle]

"That wasn't my intention at all," he said. "You called me an old man and I felt I had to retaliate slightly."

 

[celestialdragon]

She shrugged. "It was more the fact that you said you felt better if I had Jep or Isep near me. It's what most people say, that I shouldn't venture alone. Insults are how I retaliate sometimes."

 

[bindingeagle]

"That wasn't about that either. I just didn't want a load of rookies running around like chickens with their heads cut off if you had to manage another part of the battle."

 

[celestialdragon]

"Then please specify next time, Jester, we can't afford miscommunicatons," she said.
