Thread: War and Greed (Javorcek x ClearSight)

Talia knew what was being told to her wasn't an empty threat, after all Danika's soft exterior was not as simple as it seemed, she had experienced some torture that proved it after all. So when the wolf made it clear provocation would be the wrong course of action she believed her, even if Talia didn't give a damn about her brother. Sure, it would be horrific, but her killing Danika, if even possible, would only happen if the princess did something so gruesome she couldn't sit by and watch. As long as they could mutually benefit and her people could be saved she was going to be helpful and ignore the sickening feeling that came from betraying her people. Besides, the age limit of fifteen had been set, it was generous to say the least, and if things went as she imagined them going many of those who would have died whether they won or lost could be saved. That was worth everything, and she had already made her decision to act with that in mind. You have nothing to worry about, I won't act unless forced. She reassured, her position not giving her much power but it was more a gesture than anything, and her tone carried no hint of threat. Talia knew enough not to push it. After a moment the best new of all came, that she would be remaining in Danika's tent. She had a feeling her security was dependent upon being in a place that belonged to a princess, as no wolf would be so bold as to steal from the royal family. So hearing those words, even if not excited about sleeping on the ground, was enough to make a beautiful little smile appear on her face. Looking at her, despite everything she had been through, Talia was gorgeous, and as her mental anguish was relieved by the gracious deal, her form returned to a more graceful one. My name is Talia. I specialize in gravitational pull magic, healing magic, and some other minor forms of magic. She stated, a little extra information but to a mage it was rather customary to exchange such information to represent status, and while she doubted anyone outside of the mages would recognize the power behind any form of gravity altering magic, she was sure healing magic would raise her stock. If she was to be cooperative she might as well do a bit to improve standing. Would it be presumptuous to ask for a bite to eat now? She asked nervously, a rather cute look on her face as she looked towards the plate... It was going to be hard to adjust but she had to try, and had to force herself to do so quickly. --- An entire day had passed since Talia decided to made a deal with the princess Danika, and while the first day had been less productive than she would have liked, mostly detailing formations, major figures in the mage community, and a rough estimate of troop positions, it had been an important foundation. It had also led the mage to go to bed late, though Danika had provided her with some basic comforts such as a tiny mattress, a pillow, and a blanket. She still had to wear the shackles for the time being but she took what she could get. Alas, as morning came the slightest noise alerted the mage, her body slowly rising from slumber and sitting up, and in front of her was one of the most surprising scenes she could imagine. Danika was naked, a fresh set of clothes on her bed but not yet adorned on her... Mouth-watering body. Every curve was perfection and instantly Talia's body became rigid and heat ran through her. She wasn't exactly inexperienced but as far as women went... She hadn't been with someone one could call a 'peerless beauty'. Danika certainly was, and seeing her gorgeous skin and supple curves the young mage blushed furiously, a small sharp inhale as she tried to stifle her surprise, and failing miserably. All she could do was stare, frozen between wanting to absorb every second of the sight before her and the opposite instinct to flee under the covers and feign ignorance.
