Trust in Lust

This room is the most private area in the Palace, so no one should bother us in here. Please, sit down wherever you like. The bed, the chairs, even the floor, should you so please. You are my guest after all.

Ah, good choice! Comfortable bed, don't you think?

Now I understand how meeting in the Queen's bed chamber may seem unusual, but considering the circumstances, I think we'll just have to make do.

Well then, let's begin. You mentioned that your name is 'Trust', yes?

A very cute name for a very cute girl.

Oh, there's no need to uphold the formalities in here. It's just the two of us, so 'Your Majesty' is only a waste of breath.

Now, then. I understand you had an unpleasant encounter with the Watch today.

Yes, well I would like formally apologize on their behalf. They're a bit... overprotective of their monarch. Oh, they're good men, really. Loyal, strong, effective, but just tad overzealous.

No. You're not in any trouble. Not while I'm here. I just have a few questions I'd like to ask you, Trust. Is that reasonable?

Good! Well, for starters: How did you find your way here? After all, it's not every day that the Watch tells me they've arrested a Tiefling they found snooping around the outer Palace wall- Hm?

Of course I know what you are, silly. You're a Tiefling! One of the Hellish races I read about as a little girl. The Elder Empyreans spoke of your kind as though you were dangerous; something to be feared. A plague of eons gone by.

But now that you're right in front of me, I can't imagine where they got that idea from. After all, how could such an adorable little thing like you be dangerous?

You may look frightening to the uninitiated, but we know better don't we, Trust? You're just like anyone else. You breathe air, just like me. You see with your eyes, just as I do. You even feel everything around you like everyone else.

Speaking of which, I'd like to ask something a bit personal, if you don't mind.

What are you feeling? Do you feel anything specific? Physically speaking, that is.

Yes, right now.

Oh, I find that rather hard to believe. Even from over here, I can see that you've got something tickling the back of your mind. It's been plastered all over your face from the moment you walked in.

It's a sensation very familiar to me, as a matter of fact. It's Lust. You see, sentient beings who spend time around me tend to- Well. It's not important.

The point is that Lust's flame is clearly burning inside you, but it's... Inexperienced. Completely untouched. In fact, if I had to venture a guess, I'd say you've never even kissed anyone before. Is that true, Trust? How does a lovely girl like yourself come so far in life without ever sharing a kiss with someone?

No, don't be embarrassed. It's perfectly fine. Some of us experience it sooner, others later. It's nothing to be ashamed of, I promise.

Of course... now that it's out there, I have to ask.

Do you want your first kiss?

Yes, I'm being serious. Why wouldn't I be? It's a simple question, really.

Do. You. Want. Your. First kiss? Right here. Right now.

With me, of course.

No, I don't mind at all. If I minded, I wouldn't have offered, don't you think? In fact, I'd be honored to be your first kiss.
