[color=ffa07a][b]"Hm?"[/b][/color] The bard seemed surprised by Kali's forwardness and just smirked. [color=ffa07a][b]".. oh, is she claimed, then?"[/b][/color] The redhead leaned a little back from Cecilia as she examined Kali with an almost knowing smile, while the goddess herself glanced towards her companion, but mostly kept her expression in check - excluding the obvious blush on her cheeks. [color=ffa07a][b]"All right then - more serious matters. Sure. If you've got the coin, I'll be around later tonight. Do whatever you need to do.. but, uh.. don't waste it all on a room, eh?"[/b][/color] The bard smiled amusingly. [color=ffa07a][b]"Don't want to make her too sore to come down the stairs.."[/b][/color] Without giving either of them a moment to argue about it, she had spun around and started to walk away. Though, in truth, if Kali truly wanted to stop her - she could have - her senses and reflexes were still at amazing heights. As the bard disappeared into the crowd though, Cecilia started to bite her lip softly, seeming to stare off into thought for several moment. Clearing her throat finally and turning to Kali with a soft smile, her cheeks were none-the-less red. [b][color=fd0347]"So.. um.. yeah.. sorry.. I'm not really used to.. that kind of attention.. I got it sometimes as a mortal, but.. Samantha was kind of possessive - and never got it as my divine form. I never really.. came to the mortal plane before now or.. not this long anyways."[/color][/b] Cecilia had reached up to light chew on her nails as she watched Kali for a few moment, again with the thoughtful expression. [b][color=fd0347]"What do you think we should do next?..."[/color][/b] Why a goddess was asking her follower such a question would've been beyond most. However the longer Kali stayed under the effects of whatever Cecilia had put her under, the more she would begin to see the goddess for who she truly was and be less under the spell of divinity. Not to say the feeling was gone, in fact, Kali seemed more acute of it than before.
