[hr]ATTN: [@PaulHaynek] & [@Rezod92] (Kerry)[hr][hider=Overheard Sins, but Not Tragedies (Collab w/ Rezod92)]As Kerry took Alice from Carrol, the Queen's Blade couldn't just leave her without trusting that Kerry would attend to her properly. Alice had to live, so they could get home, and complete their mission... ...which is why the Mamono found herself outside the door of the Hornet and Mad Hatter, her Mana diminished to a point that neither would sense her eavesdropping. [i][color=fff79a]”What am I going to do with you? Up and at it, you horndog queen. We need to talk.”[/color][/i] Carroll waited for Alice's deflection. She knew her Queen too well. [i]"[color=976f29]Alternatively, we could just have sex again? A fair shake more amusing than a fussy old conversation that requires such extensive efforts to wake me, no?[/color]"[/i] Carroll rolles her eyes. '[color=808080][i]Typical deflection...[/i][/color]' [i][color=fff79a]”Oh, I bet you’d just absolutely love it if we did that, huh? Why fight when we can make love, right?”[/color] "[color=976f29]More than you think. However, I am grown, and I can multitask. I'm listening.[/color]"[/i] '[color=808080][i]Listening? My Queen? How curious...[/i][/color]' Carroll mused, pressing her ear to the door. [i][color=fff79a]”Why do I smell Hinami on you?”[/color] "[color=976f29]My, my, my Queen, such a menacing tone to match such beauty, indeed. To be honest, I don't fully understand. Hinami seems to fancy certain types of Mana, and turns into quite the monster to feast on it. I let her bite my tongue, and got her calm with a bit of spores. Alas, I did get a little more than excited, and started to... well, my frustrations aren't relieved. Carroll probably hit me.[/color]"[/i] Carroll scoffed. '[color=808080][i]Of course, I hit you, you horny moron! I don't care if you sleep around, but public indecency is more harmful to our reputation, dumbass! Sooner you understand that appearances matter, the better off we'll be here![/i][/color]' [i][color=fff79a]” -- I am Kerry Maros, globe-trotting badass and, currently, future mother of your child. And that means, you better treat me right. I realize that, given your nature, I can’t possibly keep you to myself. But as long as you love me and Gywn, I couldn’t care less if another woman catches your eye. Just be a part of this life we now have together. That’s all I ask… ...okay?”[/color][/i] '[color=808080][i]We don't need enemies here. Don't you fuck this up...[/i][/color]' Carroll pressed a bit harder on the door. Alice's chuckling bled through. [i]"[color=976f29]How rare. I'm sure I've had dalliances with the help. A maid in the night. A cook in the kitchen. A daughter or two jockeying for favour. It sounds so pathetic, spoken aloud, to be a species like me, but... a King always needs a Queen, a woman of the most import, and that's something I believe in... I'll ask you something, in return: Will you forsake the globe, if I offer you somewhere to settle?[/color]"[/i] Carroll swallowed a gasp, '[color=808080][i]Was that a proposal!? How reckless! Tying yourself down to a woman you've only just met!? Of all the dumbass, reckless - surely, Kerry will have the sense to reject this![/i][/color]' [i][color=fff79a]”A-Alice…..what the hell!?”[/color][/i] Carroll fist pumped, '[color=808080][i]Yes! Smart girl![/i][/color]' [i][color=fff79a]”We were already joined at the hip when we had sex, you beautiful bitch! I already love you! You didn’t have to do this!”[/color][/i] Carroll's face faulted, '[color=808080][i]No, you stupid girl! You can't just marry someone after a single day and sex![/i][/color]' [i]"[color=976f29]That sounds like a yes, then. It's a little faster than I planned -- [/color]"[/i] '[color=808080][i]Faster!? It's been one goddamn day!![/i][/color]' Carroll raged. '[color=808080][i]I haven't even gone that far with Eula, and I have an equally intimate connection with her! I may be just a sword, but I have feelings too, you inconsiderate, ungrateful, licentious, smug -- [/i][/color]' There was a sudden interruption of Alice's, [i]"[color=976f29][i]Ahn~! Fuck... me...[/i][/color]"[/i] Carroll pulled away from the door, steaming, now, '[color=808080][i]Sex!? Now!? We have to uncover the mystery of the Heavenly Strike, and you pause to screw some harlot you barely know!? I should castrate you, so you can focus on the mission, you Queen of Thinking-with-your-Dick![/i][/color]' Carroll nearly slammed herself into the door to hear the continuing conversation, or sexcapade, as it were now, [i]"[color=976f29]A husband provides for house and home. So, take all you need. We’ve plenty of time before I’m needed.[/color]" [color=fff79a]”Let’s savor every second, then.”[/color][/i] That was the final straw. Carroll reared back, and sent her foot into the door; the wood exploding under the monstrous punishment of the diminutive sword-woman. "[color=808080]That's it you horny bastard! I'm not suffering another moment of your dalliances, so you can... just... uh... what the fuck are you doing...[/color]" Carroll asks, as she started at Alice, covered in bite marks and the Hornet responsible for it. ...this was awkward.[/hider]
