Treating my girl right (Open) - Darius and Crew

She pressed against his thigh, dropping to her hands and knees to crawl after them back to Thalion's room.

He smiled when he saw the girl on the bed. He went closer, brushing a hand over the dead girl's hair and her cold, dead cheek.

"She's magnificent."

"I dug for hours to get her and she turned out to be better than I could have ever dreamed."

He hopped on the bed and stroked her flesh lovingly.

She stayed on her knees, kneeling next to the bed, right at Darius' side.

"And I know how to keep her freshest."

He smiled.

"I should say that you've done amazingly for yourself, Thalion. Good work."

He beamed, "Thank you, Darius."

And why was he worried that she wouldn't be allowed?

She beamed at Thalion, not knowing truly how worried he had been.

"He would also like to share drugs with Bethy. Is Bethy allowed?"

"Ya, nothing serious, just E and maybe shrooms."

He sat there and thought about it.

"You may, but only with me around -- at least for the first time. I want to monitor the reactions."

She pressed into his leg again.

"Of course, Master."

Thalion watched their interaction with some interest. She was all over Darius.

"Yes, I thought it might have some reaction from her visions. The seers of old used to take such things to help give them see such things."

He brought a hand to her head and stroked her hair. He smiled fondly.

"Yes, that's very true. I mostly want to make sure that she doesn't suffer any adverse effects from the drugs."

Thalion nodded, "We wouldn't want that."

He smiled.

"Exactly."

She purred softly.

"I want to try anything that will help the visions."

He nodded.

"I know you do, love. We'll see if anything can be done. I may even be able to acquire something... stronger."

She smiled up at him.

"Stronger is better?"

"That sounds like fun, even for us normal people." Thalion laughed.

He smiled.

"Depending on the drug, it can be."

"Well, someone has to stay sober so they can record anything our lovely Elizabeth says. She might not remember."

He laughed.

"I think I can do that."

She looked over at Thalion.

"And you said you would do them with me."

"Yes, of course! It's way more fun when others do it too. Darius will make sure you're safe and I'll keep you company."

He laughed.

"How about I make sure you are both safe?"

"For something like this? I'm not worried about me." He winked.
