While Valia told the story, Tali snuck closer to the woman, ending right next to her, still nice and deep in the water, only her head showing. She always enjoyed a good story, but she wanted to be a bit closer to the two pretty ladies. Unlike Sev, she was doing it to appreciate the beauty rather than perv over them. She would, of course, be happy to bed them if desired, but she was more focused on learning more about the area and making sure the town was getting back on its feet. She remained perfectly quiet during the telling, contrasting Maeve's vocal interest. Her facial expression gave away how much she liked the story, her face a small smile. Once done, she finally spoke up. [color=92278f]"Well, not often a battlefield creates love, but it's nice to hear about one such time. Allard has been perfectly hospitable to me during my stay. That's a lot more that can be said for many folks. They see a succubus, especially one as well clawed as myself, and they grab the weapons before I can even open my pretty little mouth."[/color] She sat up and stretched out, making no effort to hide any bit of her body and almost showing off to the other two to accent her explanation. [color=92278f]"But hearing about how accepting he was back then too makes me happy. Having someone so accommodating yet powerful explains a lot of why Kalla is so safe."[/color] The succubus finished her stretch and then tilted her head, seeming to scrutinize Maeve a bit. [color=92278f]"Now, I didn't expect to see someone so far from home, though. I was happy to catch Valia in the baths, but you, my dear Isoli lady, are very far from home. I can understand needing a bit of warming, but that is what a good lover is for. The desert is not good to your kind. So, what brought you here? You have an air of the nobility. Political games being touchy again? Maybe you needed to escape an arranged marriage? I can be much better than a husband if so."[/color]
