Eventually, when you time with Karz Throat-singer is done, you dismiss him, handing him off to one of your new recruits to mind. This leaves you and the other, female dwarf alone. Ever since your time with your brother’s harem, you have been cognizant of how quickly you became used to daily ‘relief’ of you ample <appetite>, and how aware you are of the burden of your own lusts since you and the Herbalist took your leave of such activities. She ahs been somewhat warmer to you since the religious vision in the Drow-cavern, no longer so dejected… Btu you have not sought her out, nor has she sought you.
Now, left alone, your eyes meet, and you feel a primal urge stirring—a need that, having been repeatedly met, is now more poignant than it ever was in abstract. But… Well, the Herbalist’s own eyes register hesitation, discomfort. Your slave-lover’s misgivings are evident, even to one more used to Reptilian body-language, and in-spite of the primate condition of eternal estrus! It is frustrating, but not exactly confounding. You KNOW its cause: she fears for her people, mistrust your intentions. Ddespite your shared sexual degeneracy (evident in your enthusiastic couplings) she does not relish being a race-traitor for the sake of a periodic helping of hemipenes.
Moreover, you suspect from your earlier conversation (which, admittedly, were not altogether unpleasant) that she enjoys... Talking... before coupling. Mammals and their emotional neediness, really! You suppose it's what comes with their pathetic tendency towards long-term partnership.
To win her favour, you would need to make (or at least pretend at) compassion, concessions even. But, well… Do you really NEED her favour?
>Forgo sexual relations for now, and dismiss the Herbalist from your quarters
>Ply her with honeyed words, and convince her to warm your bed with sweet nothings
>Take your pleasure by what means you will—this slave’s enthusiastic consent is pleasant, but NOT required
>Attempt to build a genuine rapport, and to regain her trust through conversation and common ground
>Write-in
