Business is certainly picking up again in upper. It has been so long since I found a client (for lack of a better word) around there. It feels good to seduce someone again, at least, someone that isn't stale and drunk, and reeking of the sewers. He was a sweet Halfling, if not a little too self assured for my tastes. One hundred and Eleven coins, not bad for a few hours nodding and smiling, especially as I didn't have to do anything more, intense. It paid for a wonderful new outfit, hand tailored indeed! Beshaba certainly did provide, provide for me anyway. Perhaps this is how the 'high class' girls work, around upper?

I should really be careful giving my name over to future 'clients', especially working in the good Prince's domain.

At last. I am now in permanent employment to Kharnum, Savage Duke of the House Montezzi. I am bound to his will, for what I can only imagine is the rest of my life. He is powerful, foreboding and, I loathe to admit, strangely attractive, feral and True. I gave myself to him willingly, I sought him for days, and now I am his, and in turn, I am the house Montezzi's and it's Prince. I shall pen his letters, sing his praises, hang upon his every word, entertain and fulfil him, for he is my Master now. It is in no way different to the years of service to men, Males, domination. But now, I have a chance for power myself. A chance to leave the Siren, and move to a place of subtle strength. My Lord may be cruel, but I am protected from it. No longer will I have to fear the idle insults of dreamy Sunites, deluded Halflings or overpaid Council officials.

No.

No, my time will come.

((Kaalise "Velvet", died earlier to day, as a result of bugs and Montezzi related stuffs, thanks everyone for making my first PC so much fun, and being involved in such a brilliant storyline so early on *dances*))
