Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Of course visible. I want people, Parthlio especially, to look at you and know exactly who it is that you serve, little fish. I want him to go home stewing in anger while he things about what it is that I am doing to you while his hands remain empty of you. I am... well, a bit of a b***h like that." He'd love nothing more then to be privy to the moments after it was revealed to the Beast Lord that not only was Shesha alive and healthy but that he was once again playing around with Aqio just as he'd done before. He hoped the man threw a massive fit!

As Aqio gave gave his dagger a toss, hissing about just not wanting to go home he couldn't help but to chuckle a bit more, "One would almost think that my terrible, spoiled nature is starting to rub off on you, little fish." He said, taking hold of his magical staff, and rose to his feet. With the motion of one hand he allowed his earthen seat to sink back into the ground before he said, "I think I might retire to my room as it's getting a bit too warm for my liking." Not that his current choice of outfit really covered all that much but that wasn't the point, was it?

Instead he turned around, taking a few steps forward before he looked over his shoulder at Aqio, "Will you be joining me? Or do you want to stay out here tossing daggers about?"

Shesha nodded his head, "One day soon we will introduce ourselves to the son... after all whatever better way to get at the Beast Lord then to go through his pup?" He found himself wondering about the brat. Did he even like his father? Did his father like him? Would it hurt the man if something were to happen to the brat? Would they need to strike him elsewhere? There was much that he could ask of Aqio since he would likely know... but to be honest that wasn't where his interest presently stood. He could think of far more interesting ways to spend an afternoon that didn't involve chatting about the son of an enemy. That could be saved for pillow talk later.

Turning around once he reached the door to the place he was staying at he said, "Then let's go inside. I can think of far better ways to spend our time then throwing around daggers." Turning around he headed inside saying, "Let's save plotting the downfall of an enemy for later." Not as though he was in any hurry. If anything he'd rather Parthlio's fall be a slow, downward spiral, one that didn't happen instantly. The man needed to pay for scarring him after all and that wasn't something to be done swiftly or mercifully.

Pausing in front of his room he held out a hand and said, "The collar, please?"

Shesha took the collar from Aqio, giving it a once over, before stepping in closer so that he could set to work putting it on around the Matorian's neck, "You're aware that this is going to cause quite a bit of stir and might even rocks some boats, little fish?" Not that Shesha cared, not as though he was breaking the law by having a slave or anything. He was just keeping a hired assassin was all, something that could be said for many with in Oba. Nobody who had power, influence, and money was so innocent as to not have such people working for them he thought to himself idly.

After the collar was in place he lifted a finger, tapping it against the clasp, and said, "I will be very disappointed if I find out that you or one of your family members or friends removes this from your neck, little fish. If that happens without my permission you can consider our arrangement to be null and void, got it?" With that he hooked the collar with one finger, using it to pull Aqio closer so that he could lock their mouths together in a kiss. Might as well seal the deal with a kiss instead of a handshake, it was far more interesting and intimate that way.

Drawing back he asked, "Shall we then?"

Shesha gave a pleased smirk and, with his finger still hooked on the collar continued to lead the way. So long as the little fish understood their present relationship then he felt that things could remain as they were. If he messed it up or took off the collar then that would just be a way for Aqio to break their arrangement and they would be done. Now that the little fish was aware of this then there was no reason why they couldn't go forward as they had been before the attack. That thought in mind Aqio was lead to Shesha's room and the door was quickly kicked shut behind them.
