Chapter 10

The golden hair and violet eyes of the woman that entered the bar were
unmistakable. As was the cheerful demeanor and fondness of alcohol. Lasentia
sat in her favorite chair and watched Telene as she went about her business.
Things were balanced, and she was often found in the Inn at such times,
enjoying the company and the abundance of alcohol. Lasentia smiled as she
watched her. She had always looked out for Telene, though often there was
little she could do directly as her affairs with the island were not her own.


The half-elf sashayed over to Lasentia and pecked her on the cheek before
returning to the merriment. It had been this way for some time now, with
Lasentia always dropping hints that she desired more from her. But the pecks
were nice, even if she did not know what the future might hold for them. She
took a sip of her wine, and waited, knowing the crowds would thin and
perhaps they might soon find some peaceful time alone. She looked onward,
going about her normal affairs, but always stealing glances of the beautiful
woman across the Inn.

Many weeks and months passed, their friendship had grown considerably. They
often traveled together on adventures, passing the time together. Lasentia
knew long ago she had feelings for her. But she was beginning to become
surprised at just how deep they now ran. She found herself concerned only for
her, waiting for the times they could spend together. It was somewhat odd
that of all she encountered, only another woman had stirred such emotions in
her, but they had. She knew she needed to tell her, but the time was not
quite right. Not until one eve where they happened to walk through the Oryx
Steppes and found a secluded bedroom did she know the moment had come. She
opened the door slowly, watching her enter before her, and as she closed the
door behind her she felt a smile, but a nervous trembling within her with the
uncertainty of what was to come.
