[center] [h2] [color=008B8B] Ineraz Evrenarth [/color] [/h2] [sub] [b]Husband of:[/b] Sera [@Pupperr] and Zeldria [@Saltwater Thief]
[b]Interacting with:[/b] his brides [/sub] [/center]
The little one looked up at him with those pretty red eyes of hers, though Ineraz couldn’t decide if she was afraid or not based only on her current posture or demeanour. Then, before answering, her face smoothed into a peculiar non-expression. Ineraz took that to mean she either calmed herself or was hiding behind a brave façade. A rather hopeful indication for certain pleasing traits, such as respectfulness or perhaps even vigour.

[color=008B8B] “Sera,”[/color] he tested the name, then raised his eyebrows in amusement at the Gem’s next question. Whether she was simply reckless or socially awkward, Ineraz found Sera to be endearing more than irritating so far, and was thus not bothered  by the slight disrespect of the query, which could be construed as containing a hint of a challenge. Still, his brides should know his first name and some rules of conduct, so he proceeded to give both. [color=008B8B] “You may call me Ineraz. When in a public setting, you should add a ‘sir’ when referring to me, at least occasionally,”[/color] he cocked a considering eyebrow, then added [color=008B8B] “Or ‘master’ if you’re feeling particularly formal. And as you’ve already guessed,”[/color] his tone acquired the slightest note of mockery, though it could be very easily mistaken for levity [color=008B8B] “calling me husband or Lord husband is perfectly fine too.”[/color] And because he could, he offered Sera a very quick, small smile.

[color=008B8B] “And Zeldria,”[/color] Ineraz turned his attention to his taller slender beauty, who seemed content to be compliant so far. [color=008B8B] [i]Quite pleasing.[/i] [/color] He rewarded her with a smile that had some more honesty behind it than his previous one did, though it was doubtful that either girl would be able to tell the difference.
 
[color=008B8B] “You are correct, I am known to some Drakken as a Beastmaster because hunting is my way of life and my business. Taming as well. Canids are a good example; some have been domesticated by Drakken for a while, however choosing certain wild ones and training them as [i]I[/i] see fit has brought some very satisfying results. The same goes for several other varieties of animals as well.

“You would be surprised how profitable it all can be. Admittedly, not many Drakken see hunting as a worthwhile affair. However, I can assure you that it is rather necessary and provides plentiful learning opportunities. In fact, if either of you happens to be interested, I am willing to offer you first-hand experience in tracking, trapping, killing and preparing game. Don’t worry, you’d be relatively safe with me. No need to be afraid of refusing either, because I don’t [i]expect[/i] you to do something so…I suppose you as Gems would consider it distasteful?”[/color] he ended the explanation with a query. Though if they declined or did not answer at all, he intended to extend them future opportunities for expressing such an interest.

[color=008B8B] “We’re leaving,”[/color] Ineraz told them shortly after answering their questions. There wasn’t much reason to stay beyond the feast and that was not something he was greatly interested in. As they were both still facing him, he gently turned them around, then placed a hand on the mid-back of each girl, so that Zeldria was on his left and Sera on his right. In this way, he guided them back to his family’s manor house. The physical contact he maintained with his brides insured the girls wouldn’t stray. It also gave them a light push to continue in his desired direction, should they need it. During the minutes long walk in the rain, Ineraz did his best to match his pace to the Gems, though the height difference made it a bit of a challenge. It caused the walk to be longer than it would have been otherwise and Ineraz watched a bit regretfully as his brides got soaked – their dresses, while pretty, hardly offered much protection.

[color=008B8B] “The Evrenarth – my family’s – estate,”[/color] Ineraz offered as an explanation as soon as they arrived at their goal. He stopped for half a minute, despite the drizzle, and let his brides look upon the greyish-yellow manor house. As soon as they came inside, Ineraz took the time to dry off his brides – and also himself – by way of creating a warm breeze of air which enveloped them for a while.
 
One of the Drakkan guards at the estate notified him that his own subordinates returned just recently, and were currently dining, so Ineraz took Sera and Zeldria to dinner and then graciously allowed them to eat in peace – though he did insure that they did, in fact, eat – while he conversed with his Drakken colleagues about the wares they sold, the purchases they made, some notable fights at the tournament they had missed, and any business matters which had to be resolved. When they all finished eating, Ineraz beckoned two of the Drakkan males to follow him, while he himself yet again led the brides to another room.

[color=008B8B] “You may have some time to take a bath. A servant will bring you spare clothing, though these dresses, however unpractical they may be, are now yours. I might take you shopping tomorrow if you behave,”[/color] then they entered the room together, most of which was occupied by a wooden tub, large enough that it could accommodate both Gems at once. To the side, there were three barrels filled with water and Ineraz transferred the contents into the tub, then warmed the water to an almost uncomfortable degree. Then he left the room and closed the door almost fully, leaving it open only a crack. His Gem brides would be left be alone, but any illusion of privacy was easily broken by the two guards standing just outside the room.

Ineraz addressed the two male Drakken in a quiet voice. [color=008B8B] “Ensure that they don’t get harmed in any way,”[/color] he specified this only because he knew that some Gemmenite women were so distraught after being taken from their homeland that they attempted to commit suicide, and sometimes succeeded. [color=008B8B] “One of you fetch a servant and have them try to find two cloth tunics that might fit my brides. When the Gems are done, lead them to my rooms. Make sure someone refills the water barrels after. Then take your well-earned rest,”[/color] he left, trusting they wouldn’t dare do anything to his possessions without his permission.

Ineraz went ahead to his room, though not before charging a servant to bring two bedrolls and a washing bowl for him. In his chambers, he removed his armour and weapons and brushed his hair. When the requested items had been delivered, he quickly washed off the light sweat he had worked up during the day, set the bowl aside, and put on a black cloth tunic. He then set the bedding for his two brides in a corner of the room, opposite from the door and far enough from his weapons that were still openly displayed where only Ineraz could easily access them if he so needed. 

The bedding on the floor would be comfortable enough, though not as much as if his darling little Gems decided to sleep with or next to him. The thought of his new brides naked and possibly washing each other right now made him ache uncomfortably. But he [i]did [/i]want them to be willing for any bed activities…Ineraz only hoped his patience and lust could hold out long enough. Oh, but the mere thought of simply ravishing them! [color=008B8B] [i]Don’t lose your resolve so easily, now.[/i][/color] Ineraz knew he could seduce them, and do it well. [color=008B8B] [i]Think of the long-term benefits…Mmm.[/i][/color]

As soon as his guards delivered his refreshed brides and left so the three could have their privacy, Ineraz spoke to them. [color=008B8B] “I will give you three options for how this and any following night in your new lives could proceed. One, you may choose to sleep in a corner not unlike a dog,”[/color] he nodded in the direction of the bedrolls, [color=008B8B] “Two, you may sleep next to me,”[/color] he patted the bed he was currently sitting on [color=008B8B] “And three, you may sleep [i]with[/i] me,”[/color] he grinned at them lasciviously and eyed their bodies tellingly. He then redirected his gaze back to their eyes and made one last prediction. [color=008B8B] “Either way, you will eventually get used to my presence and the idea of being with me. And I assure you, I will show you the kinds of [i]pleasure[/i] you wouldn’t have had chance to even dream of until now, much less experience,”[/color] the last sentence, Ineraz practically purred out sultrily, making a rather suggestive movement with his hand; stroking down his chest slowly and ending at his thigh, his fingers playfully inching closer to the prize his brides could get.

[hider=Summary] Ineraz introduces himself to both brides, answers their questions, then leads them to the Evrenarth estate. The dinner and subsequent bath time are an opportunity for Sera and Zeldria to interact, if you two want them to. After you have the brides finish washing up, they will be led to Ineraz’s room, where he invites them to either sex or cuddling, though they will still be required to at least sleep in the same room if they refuse that offer. Also, he’s secretly hoping that his form-fitting black tunic might entice his two brides by way of showing off more skin and musculature than his armour did.

Also, because I didn’t want to rewrite too much of my post: Assume Ineraz left either before Rynek caused that scene or went around it and avoided the whole spectacle (however unlikely that might be). [/hider]
