"Is that so? how do you know that?"
A slight tilt of her head. really, how did he know that...he certainly didn't look or act like he was castrated or anything.
"About myself? well. that could take a long time. anything of particular interest to you, lover boy?"
Gizdean was annoyed to no end with this cat and mouse game. but rules were rules. without knowledge of thier enemies unique magics, harming one of his children would probably not end well. at least the other two were calmer then him. idly watching and waiting. though probably doing no less then him in planning how to get what they wanted if Cerrilia's plan fell through.

"We can only hope." Sevilin really was being quiet and Kelligrin was actually behaving himself for once. She finished off her drink and ordered another, nodding to Nadai's words. "I know he will, he has all the makings of his father in him." Subtle glance towards Sevilin. 'But he has too much pride and cockiness and I'm just afraid that he's got a really long way to fall before he can be even half the man his father is."
He laughed and shook his head. "Just trust me, I know." Her skin was beginning to distract him again and in his fuzziness, he started to lose the recognition of her as an illusion. Did he really want to know about her? No, he didn't. It didn't matter to him who she was or where she came from. Flashing her a smile that had more Inthara charm than he realized, he reached out and took her glass from her, taking a long, indulgent sip. He needed one fact confirmed before they went any further. "Tell me your name."

"My name, is it? well what is really in a name. A beautiful flower is still beautiul by any name. But, if you wish to know, then you can. Cerrilia is my name. and since I doubt you'll let me get away with just that, my last name is Demorte."
Reaching over and undoing his shirt a little more, letting her fingers trace over his skin lightly, leaning a bit more toward him.
"See, I'm not so terrible, am I. Did you think I was going to proclaim myself Lloth or something?"

He was entertaining Kelligrin, seeing as he had nothing to add to the conversation proper nor enjoy the atmosphere. Was easy to do with the child so easily distracted. Though he did glance at the two as they mentioned him...he supposed it was in praise and compliment.
"Every teenager has to climb themselve up too high and crash back down before they get things through their heads. How they manage that task is pretty much up to them but they're not like that forever. I'm sure he won't disappoint you at all.

"He'll do his best but he will disappoint us at one time or another. He already did when he left home and stayed with you for a few days. He could have been killed or much worse. And now he's being a jerk to both of us for no reason whatsoever. But we are very proud of him today, aren't we, Sevilin?"
"Flowers don't grow down here." Which made that turn of phrase pretty much useless but it did make his eyes narrow. If she was from here she would know that. Attempting to keep an unconcerned lazy expression on his face, he glance down at her black fingers and shook his head. "You know my name. It's only fair that I should know yours." He caught her fingers and pressed them to his lips then reached over and cupped the back of her neck, bringing their mouths together. Enough wasted time.

"Yes, proud indeed."
Yup, he was being a man of few words it seemed. Sevilin had never talked much when he was around, just kind of watched him and did little else. "Every kid has to do one or two big things that absolutely infuriate their parents. He's already done one thing, think of it as a blessing."

That was more like it. She'd work him over good, and make sure that his sex clouded mind wouldn't notice the more subtle charms and coersive spells to get him to be more trusting with information she might want. Then they could learn all about his family, and probably get plenty of insight on his parentage and that unique brand of magic his apparent father employed.

He felt...weird. Not only had it not been what he was expecting but he just felt...weird. Like he'd been drugged or something. Now his dad couldn't say anything to anyone anymore about how he didn't know women that way. Not that his father would ever outright embarrass him like that. But where he'd thought it would provide answers...he only had many more questions. And it hadn't been the experience he'd always thought it would be. The kind of experience that put that sort of smile on his parents' faces. Now he needed to have a serious talk with his father. "I...umm guess I should go?"

She was straightening out her outfit a bit, and gave him a slight grin.
"you don't have to. why don't you stay awhile. you wanted to get to know me a bit, didn't you? well I have a few questions myself about you. like what your parents do for a living...they into the racing buisness as well?"

He really didn't feel like moving too much anyway. That fuzzy feeling hadn't gone away and his body felt weighted, like it was filled with lead so that he couldn't move even if he wanted to. Wait, she wanted to talk? Was this normal? "Everyone knows my mother is. She raises Nightmares and stuff." Snorting then. "Dad wouldn't go near a horse if you paid him in pure steel."

"Knowing a name and knowing their business is different. and if your father isn't a fan of horses, what is it that he actually does do? stand around your mother and look imposing?"
offering him a wine glass and drinking from one herself. this was so much easier with young boys. they weren't nearly as wise in the ways of the world as a seasoned adult was. what was obviously a setup to any other tier'dal wasn't anything unusual to a youth.

He blinked at her and shook his head. "Not here. You must be from somewhere else." Which he already knew since her illusion wasn't strong enough to fully fool him. "He works for a Lord in the area. Does security and whatnot, takes care of things when the Lord isn't present. My mom is pretty much free to do whatever she wants because he likes to keep her happy. You know how that goes, I'm sure."

filing away what they already knew. joy. boy was a bit more perceptive than she thought. definately some formal training. might have to get a bit...nasty with this one.
"I know who he works for. what I'm looking for is how. rumor is he has some kinda of special talent. and since I do enjoy learning about magical talents, I'm interested to know."
adding a bit of a hard tone to her voice. that was a cue to the menfolk, and her female associate, to be ready for intervention.

Wait a minute...something was off here. His back went up at the hard tone and any illusion of friendliness disappeared from her voice. He began to feel that burgeoning sense of danger but quelled the response that screamed at him to get up and flee. "He's just really good with magic. More powerful than most elves. Why are we talking about my dad anyway?" Had she slept with him just for information? Suddenly, he wasn't feeling quite so cocky anymore...

"Because some very important people want to know about the one that is in command of the D'vinn Empire here."
enough with illusions and pretenses, slipping from obsidian skin to deep blue, and red eyes to copper.
"Let me introduce you to one of my associates. Gizdean, would you come here please?"
sweet sing-song voice...which brought the shadows to life with another figure clad entirely in black.
"Now, before we get off on a wrong foot entirely...yes, I do own many horse tack and such shops. just not here. and yes, that was a valid contract to use your name and magical image for promotional sales."
waving her hand.
"and yes, you are cute and I did enjoy our time. I'm disappointed you can't father children if your correct in that. But unfortunately, your formal training means back to business rather then pillow talk."
drinking her wine glass again.
"So, your father. what is this special magic he employs? how does it work?"
