"So what do I call you ?" Asked Luri.
"Tanil." The girl said.
Luri looked at her and could see a bit of Ixir there, but something else to give the long legs and a bit of bone structure. Maybe a bit on Maran blood there ? Luri didn't care, she just wanted a night of uncomplicated sex and sex with Delmus was beginning to mean something.
"I've seen you in the market before." Said Luri as she offered Tanil a drink.
"You'd be amazed at the amount business I get from clerics."
Luri was warming to her new friend and she understood the benefits of sex within the city walls of Mendera. Sex with no consequences, no disease, no pregnancy and Chlo would even prevent those under the influence of drink and drugs from copulating with a life form they might damage or even kill. Death from chronic sexual incompatibility was sadly all too common in parts of the Empire.
"Beautiful house." Said Tanil, looking around.
"Some of it was built by Thrax."
She saw the impressed look and knew that a private dwelling built by Thrax was now worth a small fortune on the local market. Tanil didn't seem in a hurry, which was nice, so many of the working girls Luri had known seemed to want to get the job done and move onto the next client.
"Have you anything particular you'd like to do tonight ?" Asked Tanil.
Luri thought long and hard before answering.
"How are you with pain ?"
Tanil seemed unfazed by the question, but Luri had really hurt Alyz during one of their hotter sessions and Alyz was one of The Damned. She was sure Sikush would take a dim view of her causing too much damage to a citizen.
"I can handle most things, I'll tell you if it hurts too much."
They finished their drinks and then came the obligatory tour of the castle Luri called home, with appropriate appreciative noises from Tanil at the various turrets and night time views. All Luri really wanted to do was get her new friend out of her pink mini dress and bent naked over her bed. Eventually Luri led her up the stairs and into her bedroom.
"Now. Take that dress off !" Said Luri.
Tanil undid the dress and let it slip to the floor, then she stepped out of it and looked steadily at Luri.
"I thought you'd never ask."
