(OPEN) - Cold like a stone -

The female dragon had just gotten a break from work. Her scales were dusty and covered with sweat, and she had just enough energy left to want to clean herself off. Rii bent her head down walking through the servants quarters of the nightwings massive shadow filled home. The giant columns and fantastic architecture of the place had been amazing to the woman at first. However after a few weeks of work near the palace the bluish she dragon found the dark stone walls cold and empty. This place was not lively and warm like the earthwing tribe's tunnels.

She hated it here. The lack of sunlight, plants, and warmth made her depressed, but the heavy lifting she often had to do for work had the woman too tired to care about her surroundings. Sure there were some plants that grew around the nightwings territory, but they were mostly carnivorous plants that did not require sunlight to survive. Instead these plants, like giant cow sized sundew, elephant sized fly catchers, and deer sized pitcher plants feasted on the bugs that liked to feed off of any decaying flesh nearby. Since the dragons often brought their food around to eat at home the bugs multiplied greatly after eating whatever was left from the dragons meal. Luckily the carnivorous plants kept the bugs down to a minimum. Moss did grow here, including some beautiful form of luminescent moss, and many fungi also found a home here. These plants may have interested the earthwing firewing hybrid but she couldn't help but miss the outside world.

She couldn't leave though. She remembered well the face of the dragon that had taken her sisters small pearly white skull. Sometimes she saw the healer walking the halls of the palace with other nightwings. Other times she could smell the dragon near the healing area. She dare not approach him, or any other nightwing, without an invitation though. Not after the torture she had suffered disobeying their orders the first couple times. Rii was determined to get the child back though, even if it meant enduring almost never ending work. So she waited...

Then a few days ago something odd happened. The nightwing dragon had come to her, and he silently had given her the little skull back. Entirely caught off guard by this, Rii had to wonder why the dark dragon had given her sister back and then rushed off without a word. She clutched the skull to her breast now, trying to think of how she would get out of this dreadful place. The only idea that came to her was to dig a tunnel from her room to the outside world. It would take a long time, but this way she could keep the tunnel hidden from prying eyes. There was no use in trying to fly away without an escort, because the nightwings would see her and likely stop the woman from making her escape.

Rii did not hurry her plans along. She had plenty of time to figure out how to get out of there,now that she had her precious with her. The woman found that her claws had walked her straight to her own room. It was a dingy little thing, but at least it was a place to sleep. Now she began to clean her scales trying to make them shine once again. How badly did she wish to see something shine in this darkness again.

It was another busy that as usual, and more than frequently he had been dragged into the same halls over and over again. A dragon broke his bone. She was attacked, and possibly impregnated. He caused a riot. She had mucus escaping her nostrils. These were typical whenever a healer crossed the servant quarters.

To Sly, it was another form of imprisonment, much like slave labour. The rogues were offered a choice to leave and find another territory after the invasion of the Empire. But Sly could not help but guess that some rogues slipped through the cracks and were not given such an opportunity. At this time, it was suppose to be a time of resting for Sly. To go back to the Shadow Refuge and indulge in the countless number of herbs and potions. Now much of that time was exchanged for the welfare of the rogues who, as some had described, were either foolish or stupid enough to choose slavery over freedom.

Not too long ago Sly passed the baby skull to one of the imprisoned rogues, whom he kbew belonged to her. Beyond that, they did not exchange a single glare. Her name was Rii. Perhaps one of the more interesting rogues he had encountered. Oculus did try to make them feel comfortable with all the architecture and portions of food they tossed onto the sleeping rogue's snout. But in terms of hygiene, Sly would not even choose to sleep here if it was the last he could go to. When the wooden doors parted for Sly's arrival, the very first thing he remembered was the stench of ash, dirt, sweat and blood, with some rotting flesh here and there. He had gone used to it. Sly had to be here almost everyday to patch up the rogues, either they had overworked themselves or tried to escape.

Accompanying him were 2 guards as Sly marched along the hallways, passing the large pillars and lanterns, down the slippery steps and into the room of the warden. The warden was a rather fat dragon with a recognisable frown, always had his eyes on the pile of scrolls he had to read, write and sign. Upon seeing Sly, the warden said no word before passing a scroll, wrapped in a green ribbon, to him.

Sly unrolled it before him and checked the schedule. Today, he was to check on Rii's health. So she finally landed herself in here. No one else was in for today. That was a relief, but also concerning. Was there something big with Rii that it took up the time slots? Sly did not want to go through their depressive stories again of how they begged Sly to give them huge amounts of poppy in their drink. Oculus had given him orders to ensure they were fit to carry their duties. Little was said about their psychological stress, and Sly had seen a few rogues passed because they succumbed to its weight. He predicted Rii would be next, and he feared it would come very soon.

Sly nodded his approval to the warden before making his way towards where Rii was kept. Unlike the rest of the Empire, there were hardly any rules and regulation about how the rogues here should be treated. Crossing to where Rii was, Sly overheard cruel plans to put whips over fire before using them, to spit in their next meal, and even to force themselves on top of the females. It was disgusting, but who was Sly to judge? Orders were orders.

(Look at this gorgeous tiny post of death!-OOC)

IC-

Rii stiffened as she scented a nightwing nearby. She was surprised at the scent, recognizing it to be the male who had given Mairii back to her. She arches her neck gracefully, still keeping a bit of the nobility she had brought with her when first fighting and then meeting with the nightwings. Even if they thought her lower than them, she would not stop thinking of herself so highly. A slightly defiant sparkle glimmered in her blue eyes as she dipped her head low and respectful. Rii see's Slychotic enter, but knows not why the healer was there.

Or at least she thought he was a healer. He certainly smelled like one as the medicinal plants always leave a sharp smell when a dragon works with them.

He kept up a stoic expression when he stopped before Rii, even when she decided a formal bow was a way to greet him. Sly gave her a short bow back. She looked like she had seen better days. When he first saw her in the rogue territory, there was that fire behind her eyes. Perhaps a beast untamed as she somewhat exerted a bit if her dominance over the Nightwing guards watching over the captives. Sly never really got to know her. All he could recall was pushing a guard going rogue towards her, and she delivered the venom he needed to prevent that guard from causing anymore damage. After the invasion ended, Sly never saw Es'Rabmud ever again.

Rii, Sly said gently. It was a little unnecessary. Sure, she was hurt, the brilliant sea-like scales stained in dirt and ash, but still he could see her eyes glinting with a fierce will. It was dying a little, perhaps why Sly was sent in to take an examination of her. We have seen each other before but never officially met. You may call me Sly. I am a healer of the Empire here. If you will, I would like to have a word with you.

Sly then turned his head and beckoned the guards away. They nodded and turned, stepping outside and guarding the entrance before closing the door behind them. Now it was just the two, with the only sound coming from the smiths behind walls and the crackling fire of the nearby firepit. I see they are treating you well, Sly said, studying the wound she sustained from her tasks. A warm fire. Fresh meat. Solid roof over your heads. And not a prison cell in sight. He finished examing her body just as he finished speaking. He was quick to make judgements necause he had seen these ailments far too frequently. How are you feeling?

He tried to be as warm as possible in his words.

Rii perked up a bit when Sly shooed the guards away then closed the door to give them some more privacy. Though she felt a little more relaxed while she was alone with this male, Rii couldn't help but wonder why he trusted her so much.

She was careful to avoid looking at or step on the space where she had already started a tunnel in the floor. It had been thoroughly covered up and stamped back down by her some time ago to keep anyone from noticing freshly disturbed earth. However she wasn't sure just how much weight her covered up tunnel would take on top of it. Two dragons might be too much.

At least she had been correct in assuming that this dragon was a healer. She blinked in acknowledgment of his introduction then moved to reply. Perhaps I am not accustomed to such nice things as a roof over my head and a warm fire, but I've never really liked being away from the open sky. I would rather sleep outside or in a small cramped but cozy tunnel. She replied with not a hint of the caustic attitude she felt right now. Instead her features remained calm and impassive. When the male finished looking her over, which did bring out the vain side of her personality making her try to look as pretty as possible; Sly then asked her about how she felt. Sighing she then warily answered.

My muscles always pain me, specifically in my back and legs. The other day I also sprained my ankle but it didn't seem so bad so I kept working. I'm not sure if the pain in my one leg is from that or not. Rii answered while looking over the male. His dull dark coloring was lack luster, but his eyes were gorgeous. Perhaps it was because they were in sharp contrast with his darker colors, but she certainly fancied them.

He took to lying on his belly so as to keep himself, and hopefully Rii, comfortable. As he did so, the ground below trembled a bit. He cared for it only a brief few seconds before shrugging it off as erosion below ground. Rii's eyes were blue, like glistening sapphires in this rather gloomy atmosphere, very alluring in a manner that Sly could not keep eye contact for more than 3 seconds without falling into a trance. She was a beautiful dragon, and to be working as a labourer within the Empire was too much of an insult.

Sly tried to focus on her snout as she spoke about the comforts of the quarters. It appeared Rii was satisfied with most of what the Empire provided, with only need for sunshine. Ah yes. Sunlight. Sly would need to keep a note of that to pass to the warden. Perhaps they could make a tunnel in here. After all, she was perhaps one of the most hardest at work with very little but a worn out body to show for it. Sly passed her a gentle nod to show he considered this. I will see what I can do. It is likely we will carve a tunnel in here for you. And perhaps give you some time during your break outside the quarters and bask in the sun.

When Rii added her body ached here and there, Sly glimpsed over her scales again, seeing how they articulated and rippled over one another just like the crystal river flowing through a forest. He was lost in them until he saw the dirt stains all over her. Muscle aches. Sly did not have an instant potion for that. Normally he would suggest her to rest and take a day off, but it was likely impossible with her circumstances. He was beginning to feel sorry for her.

There was another solution, and that was to give her a massage. Sly knew an anaesthetic oil, smooth and slippery on scales, that he could apply to immediately numb her pain, but it was the act of rubbing across her back that somewhat caught him offguard. He uttered a sigh. His time was a little short, and he doubt there were any available female healers with enough time to massage her. Those pains are natural for those who overwork themselves. Fatigue in the muscles and some chance that your bones have shifted a little from their proper places. I can check your legs as well, seeing if it has swollen or not. Normally I would tell my patients to take a day off, but for your case it might be a little too difficult. Another simple remedy is a massage, and one session is all you need to keep yourself in top form again. But...I am not sure if you are...that willingm.. to let me perform such a task.

He tried his best to keep a stoic expression but he was really flushing. No amount of shaking would hide it, but perhaps his dark scales would.

Rii watched the male quietly examining his facial and body features for unspoken signals that might mean that he was going to attack. Instead she felt something entirely different radiating from his body. Shyness was it? This piqued her interest. He answered her about the sun, but that answer did not give her any kind of relief or happiness. A bit of sunshine was nice, but what she really wanted was out of the servants quarters.

Then she listened to the rest of his words while watching him grow increasingly... agitated? Yet not in the I'm going to bite you kind of way. More like agitated and annoyed with something about himself. She couldn't yet place just why he was like this though. Not just yet.

The sigh, and his explanation that a massage would be the easiest and fastest treatment suddenly helped Rii to put the dots together.

Does he not like females? Or is it because he likes females that he seems reluctant to come close. Other than the not trusting me factor. He shouldn't fear, not with guards so close by. A sly cunning smile crossed her maw that she quickly hid as he kept his eyes away from her. She would play with him, and maybe tease him a little in her own way. Not so much to get herself into trouble though.

Giving him a devilish smile Rii lay herself down flat before him stretching out her body along the floor carefully away from where her tunnel was. Her body nearly wrapped around the entire room three times. It would take him some time to massage all the places that hurt. Would he start at her shoulders and go down? Or from her tail and go up? Rii wondered which and relished in his uncertainty.

Well I'm ready to start doctor. (omg) Rii smiled softly then whisked her tail under his chin inviting him closer. As long as you don't hurt me and be gentle I'll let you work your magic. My muscles won't get better on their own without this or a days break you know. She swiveled her neck trying to appear as non threatening to him as possible.

The old familiar ache pounded lightly through her muscles. This was getting her excited, to mess with the healer and his wariness around her. She'd been like this around males before, but only a few times in the past. She was very young, and only had a few years of physical maturity under her belt. Not knowing what she was doing, Rii had succumbed to her body's wishes at least once a year, but perhaps luckily for her had not produced any eggs as a result. Her younger body had not been ready for them perhaps. However now, even though she knew better than to get close to her enemy, Rii couldn't help but have a little fun and mess with the drakes head a bit. She would try to keep her own urge under control all the while gaining amusement from his unease.

It was definitely dark territory he was treading with that last suggestion. He was a healer, and of all things he decided on a massage? It would likely anger the rogue, at least cause some disgust. Those words came out of him almost subconsciously, and he would have wanted to take those words back. Too late for that now. It was not like him. There was something about her that was making him feel very…different. More vulnerable in a sense.

He could not read much of her. There was no anger, no sadness or anything. It was mostly neutral. Sly took this silence to clear his throat and shake his mind off…whatever spell he was in. Rii’s response was unexpected. Instead of a hint of confusion, or any signs of aggression, she lied on the floor and her long and glimmering body spread all across the room. At that moment Sly remembered how long she really was. It was going to be a long day, not helped by how she answered his offer. Closing his eyes for a moment, he craned his head, taking in air from his nostrils. Sly just needed to clear his mind, it was all he needed to be himself again. And with that, Sly’s cunning smirk returned. No promises. But I will consider it.

Sly dug into his knapsack. He had a bottle of massage oil, though he never thought about using it now. It had been sitting in that same spot for quite some time already, and Sly knew he had to change it in a few weeks. Better to use it now when it would hardly use it on anyone else. Sly was still rather nervous about this, trying his best to hide it behind a stoic expression. It was a rare event where he had to perform a massage.

Recalling how he did it, he poured some oil along her body, a few metres apart along her body. It gave off a sweet smelling fragrance, but not overpowering. He had to walk around the room to do so, and with the bottle in his mouth, he could not break the silence. Not to harm her? With a massage, there would always be a bit of pain, especially with something that was perfect. Seeing how Rii was in quite a bad shape, Sly would have to prepare for a few bites. He knew all too well what her venom could do.

My, what a long body you have, Sly said, panting a little. It was looking across the room when he tried to find where her head was. He marched towards her, manoeuvring over and around her tail until he could reach her. Sly chose to start from her shoulder, and would work his way down. He would probably have to massage her legs as well, and check them in the process if they were swollen or not.

Sly huffed another sigh. Now for the difficult bit. Some dirt had already began to drip off from the oil, and Sly placed both his claws and started to rub. Her scales were rather slippery, a little warm from the intense labour she endured, but Sly tried not to think any further as he moved his claws back and forth, kneading rather deep into her muscles. Near her shoulders, his talons bumped a couple of bones that should not be there, and, with a quick thrust, he pushed them black into place with an audible crack. To quickly dampen any pain, he continued to rub where he thought would hurt, just exciting the blood flow in that region. She should only feel a split second of pain, followed by a warm rush like she had stretched a muscle after its thousand-year slumber. The oil added more shine to her body, and seemingly bounced back smooth and elegantly at him every time he passed by them, almost like he was rubbing a shallow puddle of the ocean. How do I fair? Sly asked, moving down her tail and rubbing along her spine.

It was not as bad as he thought. For now.

Oreo had been walking the halls of the Shadow Refuge, something he's done for a bit now. It was almost like all of the hallways blurred into one, not a single one different from the other. Just long with tall arched ceilings accommodated with paintings, sculptures, banners, and other artistic things. To the male, he wondered how the dragons who always wandered these halls felt. Maybe this place got twisted and endless, never letting them get out. Or maybe they kept the happy attitude and saw it as cool as they did the first time.

The black and white dragon wondered where to go next. Thinking back a bit he remembered seeing Sly go off somewhere. Maybe he'd see what the Healer was up to.

It wasn't hard to follow the scent of him. It smelled earthy, with a smidge of darkness. Maybe it shouldn't have smelled that earthy, but there weren't many other Healers to compare it to. He continued to follow his scent, Oreo holding a proud and dignified stance as he did. It was leading over the the servant quarters, and he had two guards attached to him. He just flicked an ear as he continued to follow it.

Once inside he gave a sigh. It smelled like sweat, blood, and dirt. He could also smell the fear of some, and just tell the anger of others. It was really someplace you wouldn't normally want to be. It was big in here, enough to fit multiple homes of families. There were a few lights throughout, but the thought of actually living here made Oreo wince.

When he finally reached the hallway where the scent was the strongest, he noticed two guards sitting outside of a door. Oreo eyed them carefully as one of them noticed him and bumped his buddy, them both sitting up straight as if they weren't just about to fall asleep.

The male huffed and walked over, them both giving a bow to the Royal Guard. Oreo glanced at the door before back at them. He had to keep his high position known. Is Sly in there? The guards both nodded and stepped aside, letting him go to the door. He'd ask Sly later why he left his guards outside when dealing with a possibly frightened rogue.

The door opened with a slight creak as he pushed it, his head coming in first before he finished coming through. After his initial shock he didn't want the outside guards to see. Oreo was practically on his toes as the long female was spread everywhere around the room. He walked off to a lone corner and sat down, wrapping his tail around his paws.

The male glanced at Rii with a bit of sympathy, enough for her to at least notice. He then looked at Sly with a relatively blank expression, but it was questioning and hard at the same time. He watched Sly's face for any reaction of having a Royal Guard come in. They were close to Oculus, practically at his sides all the time. When they weren't that could usually mean something bad.

Mind explaining why your guards are outside?

Rii purrs at first when Sly first begins the session. She relaxes as best she can. Th message felt good a part from the occasional twinges of pain as bones and muscles were pushed back into their correct places. A few times the pain was so great she would twitch and her tail would flick to one side like an angry cat. However the pain would always go away and that area would always feel better afterward. As he worked his way down her back the warm feeling returned as much as she tried to press it down. She wiggled a little under his touch enjoying the feeling of the massage.

Then the door opened and she stiffened. All enjoyment gone for a moment, Rii stared at the black and white nightwing who looked them over and then went to the corner of the room. After a few moments she relaxed a tiny bit as time progressed and it was clear the guard wasn't going to do anything. Concentrating on the massage again Rii pushed her luck by flicking her tail up and attempting to drag in under Oreo's chin alluringly.

Two dragons would make this much faster. She said warmly before glancing back to Sly to see what he would do or say.

He continued his way down her body, rubbing and occasionally beating her back a bit like a set of drums. How she rewarded him was enough to reassure him that he was doing fine and did not cause any huge pains. She was enjoying it. Probably too much for his taste as she purred with every sensitive spot he massaged. As he did so, he made sure to clean her scales off from any dirt he passed, reasoning with himself that it was to check for any infected wounds. She was a strong dragon, her muscles soft when relaxed but stiffened like stones when tense. Large, and still willing to endure labour for the Empire. He was beginning to wonder why she decided to stay here when freedom was what she really needed.

Sly could feel himself flushing, and he shook it off. She probably deserved this massage anyways, and desperately needed it as well with how many of her bones were misaligned, even slightly. Sly continued to knead on her sides, unsure if they were sensitive to her or not. He knew his anatomy, but not much so for a snake-like body. After some work on them, Rii should be able to flex her tail at even more acute of an angle without any restrictions, though Sly thought not to anger her after this.

The doors swung open suddenly and Sly froze. His whipped up to the entrance, feeling blood rushing all around him nervously. It was Oreo, one of the Royal Guards, and perhaps the most loyal to Emperor Oculus. He briskly moved to the corner and asked Sly what he was doing. Before Sly cold ever answer, Rii invited Oreo to join in this massage. Sly just stared blankly at Oreo. This was embarrassing. He never felt this way for a very long time, being lost for words and such. But Sly knew he had to keep up his demeanour. So with another breath, he made a cunning smile and rubbed his claw deep into her muscles, hitting her at a sensitive and exercising the hidden muscle there, waking it and spreading its ecstatic senses over her. Oh? But why end it quickly? You seem to enjoy this more than you should. Why not prolong it and savour every moment?

He then looked up to Oreo. Rii was presented with aches all over her body and possible sprained ankles. I am merely giving her a massage to rectify the problem, then maybe apply some ointment to her legs and bandaging them up. That is all. Why are you here yourself? Sly continued to massaged Rii. He was already down to the halfway mark of her body.

Oreo had been watching Sly, noticing how he had been intimidated by the sight of him. It was good and bad, but for his position right now it was good. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a movement before feeling something under his chin. The male jerked back a bit, eying the female. He glanced questioning at Sly, although already knowing Sly's, and his own, answer.

When the other male answered his question his face dropped a bit. Oreo couldn't tell if he was fully avoiding the question, or just forgetting it. I see, but you still didn't answer the question. He glanced down at her before back up. The rogue could still be dangerous, you could've gotten stuck in her coils, either by accident or not. The guards are supposed to be here to help protect you. Oreo explained this, as if Sly didn't know that already.

For his question back, Oreo would have to come up with something. Just saying that the Royal Emperor put you on a vacation wasn't going to sound threatening. He could scare him more by saying Oculus sent him to watch over him, but that could also result in him prideful. Not to mention that if he did say that Oculus sent him, Sly could easily ask and get the reply no. For the time being, he'd just ignore that question.

(That is not a post Oreo! -steals Oreo's spot)

Rii shrugs nonchalantly back at Sly then lay her head back down and purred. She would enjoy this with one or both males either way. Even with that urge ever present in the back of her mind.

Sly continued to rub the giant snake-like body. Slowly he was forgetting than Oreo was there with them. Instead, he focused on how Rii reacted with every knead and pat he deliver. For some smaller muscles on her back, Sly grabbed a clawful and squeezed them a bit, then let all the warmth disperse throughout her.

He thought of something he could do to toy with her a bit. Something to pay her back after she somewhat tried to entice him into this act. And succeeded as well. Sly wanted to show her that he was not that easy for her to control, and that he could be just as dominant as she was. With that, Sly brought his snout close to her scales, kneading and rubbing a particular spot on her. With a gentle breath, he exhaled, a fine stream of silver mist escaping from his maw and soreading over that spot. The effects of that mist would sensitise those areas, making her feel almost everything in that spot several times more potent. With a devilish smirk, Sly rubbed that spot, massaging every bit of her muscles and watching how she would respond to an even greater burst of euphora and ecstasy shooting across her spine. However she reacted, if it was positive, Sly would continue to rub and knead her in that 'special' spot on her side, until the effects of the must wore off. How does this feel? Sly asked, though Rii would have to fight back her senses to respond.

Again, if she was rather eager for him to strike a pprtion of her scales with his mist, he would continue to do so as he reached and massaged her all the way to where her hindlegs meet her body.

He watched as the dragon still didn't reply to him. Oreo flicked his tail besides him as Sly continued to massage the dragon, spraying some silver mist onto her scales. He gave a quiet snort and let him finish before clearing his throat to speak and get his attention.

Well, it'll be nice to let Emperor Oculus know that his Medic betrayed his orders to keep his guards close and went into a room with a rogue alone. Oreo, glanced down at Sly, his expression blank. He had gotten a bit annoyed at the fact Sly ignored him, but maybe the fact of reporting him to Oculus would wake his wondering mind up.

Rii purred loudly as Sly continues to knead her muscles. She growled in content as he asks her how she feels now. The she dragon wiggles in pleasure barely able to keep herself in check anymore. The massage was so good!

It was amusing really to see how she reacted to his sensitising mist. The snake-like dragon wriggled and growled pleasurely, which was enough of an indication that she was enjoying this. Sly would have continued, but froze when Oreo mentioned bringing this up to Emperor Oculus. He did not stop abruptly, but rather lifted his head up and slowing his rub over Rii.

He knew what Oreo was asking for, but it gave her no reason to jump in. It was rather annoying actually, as if those who worked directly as soldiers had all the rights to barge into his session with patients for the most insignificant of excuses. Sly's eyes slowly turned yellow as he turned to Oreo. I sent them outside, because I am with a patient. As a healer, I must treasure their privacy with me as they may not want their ailments known to the whole world, let alone, an Empire. Should she ever decided to attack me, what would prevent me from screaming for the guards who were just outside?

Sly took a deep breath afterwards and resumed to massage Rii. He had finished the region where her hind legs meet and was just about to finish the rest of her tail. He ensured to give her a few puffs of sensitising mists to keep her... excited. If you have nothing else to add, Royal Guard, I am rather busy with a patient. And I dearly wished you would respect her privacy and leave.

Oreo watched as the female wiggled as he massaged her. He flicked an ear, wondering what that mist was doing to her, and if it was even the mist that was causing it. It had to be, as she started after he sprayed it. the good thing was she seemed to enjoy it, so he'd have to question it later.

Sly's reply made sense, but at the same time he could see some flaws. He listened to him finish talking and gave a slight snort. Wished he would respect her privacy and leave? She definitely didn't seemed bothered by him, especially by the way she invited him to... help out.

Actually, Sly, he started, I do have a bit more to say. Who's to say you could even scream if she covered your mouth? What if they couldn't get in because she blocked the door? There are many things that could happen in here, and it would be safer with them in. Oreo glanced at the female again, slightly hoping she wasn't offended by his words. It was protocol after all. He returned his gaze to Sly.

And by the look of it, she doesn't mind my presence. If she did she'd be glaring me to death and wouldn't have invited me to join you. He slightly tilted his head, interested to hear Sly's reply. He made no move to get up and leave.

Rii had lost herself mostly. She didn't care anymore that she was in enemy hands or that there were two males in the same room. She just wanted someone to finish up her healing session. Rii had a few plans knocking around in her head, one particular one she giggled at was almost exactly what Oreo had mentioned. Taking advantage of Sly as soon as Oreo left, but at the same time she didn't want him to be angry at her for being so forward. So for the moment she just kept to wiggling the entire length of her body around the room. She was not really moving from her spot but tensing and relaxing all of her muscles in ripples of fur and scale like an ocean. She purred loudly and shifted against Sly then only a moment later shifted against Oreo.

Another idea bumping around her noggin was to simply ask one of the two males to leave. Though she was unsure of which. While Sly had pretty gem-like eyes, Oreo had a nicer figure and shiny scales. He's smart too... Not trusting me. she thought quietly. Both males attracted her somewhat. So she couldn't decide on which to ask to leave and left this idea to rot.

Sly raised his head again to Oreo. Hearing Rii's movements suddenly became distant as his focused was pulled to the Royal Guard. He cocked his head to the side, pulling a corner of his maw back in a smug smile. Who's to say I cannot defend myself? I may be a healer, but I know how to fight. Besides, she had seen what you...brutes could do to a rogue like Lead. Who's to say then, that having too much around will not awaken old memories? Sly spoke as he was multitasking, making sure to be careful with the slimmer tail portion. He gave them light squeezes, rubbing the oil all over her as well and gently pressed near the spine region.

Sly thought back at that time, his encounter with Es'Rabmud and the assault on the rogue. Of course that dragon was dealt and punished accordingly, but something else happened as well. A skull bounced on Sly's claw and he picked it up, knowing Rii's connection with it. Because of Sly, really, Rii could never leave. And he somewhat thought he owed her more than just the skull back.

Of course I know the risks but... I also know she may not harm me because, lets just say, I returned what was rightfully hers. Sly pushed another invertebrae back into place and diffused the warmth across her. He did not really mind how she approached him after sending the guards out, he perhaps deserved it. I... Sly grunted as he massaged and pushed the muscles in her tail up towards her torso, soothing as many of them as he could before going down, ...also abide to a code of ethics being a healer, that anything exchanged betwewn me and the patient is confidential. But if she... Sly breathed another mist and knead along her spine, getting into the hard-to-reach tight spaces within, wants you to stay and observe, then by all means...stay. Finishing the session, Sly scooped the tip of her tail between his claws and rubbed over it. He huffed a sigh, a little exhausted, but somewhat glad it was finished. How are you feeling Rii?

Oreo continued to gaze over the Medic, slightly watching Rii as she continued to wiggle wildly. When she began to press against him he raised a paw as if that would help him get away from her long body. Even if she didn't seem like a threat he know that if he got coiled he most likely wouldn't be able to get out.

His gaze snapped back up to Sly as he talked again, slowly putting his paw back down. Oreo's gaze hardened as he referred back to when the NightWings had captured the rogues. A small growl escaped his throat before he could capture it. When he did he settled for a nose twitch before letting Sly finish.

He couldn't really reply to his other words, or just didn't care for them. Some nerve he had. So, Oreo took a breath and spoke, First, those were other guards. They had disrespected the orders of Oculus, acted out of turn, and even put themselves in charge of what they shouldn't have been. Even acting out of defense he said not to brutally harm them, yet they did. He had to stop again to keep from hissing, And if you can remember, I was there to try and stop them. I'm not like those brutes, I serve for Emperor Oculus, not anyone else. They were as good as the rogues. He took another breath and straightened himself up, glancing down at Sly again. The male flicked an ear and waited for his response, if he had one.

Rii derps as the males talk. She can't even form a coherent sentence as her hormones take over.

Good. He would take that as she was feeling great. So that was her bones and muscles done for her whole body. Now he just needed to take a look at her legs and see if they needed bandaging. It could be likely that Sly would need to give them a bit of rub first if they were aching just as much as her muscles.

As Sly went to check her over, minding the wavering tail and body, he answered to Oreo. Right. Thanks for the help, could not have done it without you. He said sarcastically. It was pretty typical to have guards coming in and defend themselves when they could just take the criticism and leave. I believe I handled Es'Rabmud well on my own. Lead's legs recovered and he was well on his way. Now if you would excuse me, Sly checked Rii's legs, pushing and testing them here and there. They were a bit worn out but there were no swellings. She was going to be fine with a bit of rest.

He frowned at Sly's sarcasticness. It was almost like he wasn't good enough, and that being a guard was easy ans he should've done better. He snorted at Sly's reply. If you feel that way, fine. Maybe I should've just let you handle everything. Of course, one Medic could take on a group of guards. I'm not needed for anything. Oreo closed his eyes as he shook his head, still not moving from his spot.

(OOC: I Got permission from both players for this horrendous power play)

Rii watched the males argue with interest. She was wriggling all over the room occasionally bumping the door further and further shut until finally it softly closes without the guards outside noticing. She rubs up against each male trying to egg them on and make them do something. Then something in her mind clicks as Sly finishes his massage.

She continues arching different areas of her body up into the air, sometimes moving those areas of her body near or behind the two males.

Then near the end of Oreo's last words she strikes out and coils around both males heads. She makes sure not to coil too tightly around them, but tight enough to have them in a choke hold until they faint. Sly she realized was not as strong as Oreo, for Oreo had scratched and clawed up many of her beautiful scales. Blood ran from the portion of her scales cut up by the royal guard. Sly got a few good cuts in too though, but eventually both were knocked out by the writhing mass of snake-like female. Then the room goes quiet with only her rustling scales and slithering body making noise.

-two hours later after the deed is done with both males-

Rii lays both males in the corner of her room laying on each other. She observes the bruises on Oreo's face and Sly's neck then makes a poultice out of the supplies Sly had brought into the room with her. She also made a separate poultice to cover up the two bloodied up portions of her long body. Relative to her whole length these injuries were not very large, and Rii knew that they would heal very quickly. Once the poultice was on both males minor injuries she then goes to her own corner to rest and relax, her urges finally sated.
