Explain yourself.

"That's some scary magic," Eva whispers.

Amara covers her mouth. "Oh my..."

"Did she really just tie her up?" She purses her lips, and after a moment, the cogs finally start turning. Colour comes to her cheeks. "Oh. I get it."

"You wouldn't be a villain, would you?" RF asks.

"All right. That's enough," you say, and then you step forwards. "I'll be blunt with you, 'cause it seems like that's the way you roll anyway. There's people residing in a cavern northwest of here that are trying to kill us, and they aren't exactly great people to begin with. So tell us the truth. Do you work for them?"

"I like you, Kyle." She folds one leg over the other, briefly giving you a glance of a black pair of panties beneath. "Let's play a question for a question. I do like games. Though this one isn't so complicated. If I answer your question, you must answer one of mine, or else."

You look to your allies and then back to her. "Deal, I guess."

"No. I have no idea who you're even talking about. I never leave the forest."

"How can we trust her?" Niki asks. "I hate to say it, Kyle, but you know pixies are tricksters, right?"

"How cruel," Delphi says. "I wouldn't mind tying her up sometime..."

"D-Don't you dare!"

She giggles. "Now answer me a question. Do I turn you on, Kyle?" she asks with a sensual tone.

"I, uh... Well, you are very beautiful, so yes?"

"Kyle!" Eva shouts. "She's the size of your hand, you weirdo!"

"I'm the weirdo now, huh?"

Once again, Delphi laughs. "If you want, you can ask me another question, but then I get another too."

"This is pretty blunt too, but... how did you become this Dark Fairy people seem to call you?"

She lets out a lengthy sigh, and for the first time, her piercing gaze lowers to gaze between her feet. "It's a bit of a long one. I'll spare you the details. A certain witch experimented on me. Changed me. Though, my personality has always been my own. I suppose these powers paired with my sadistic side make for a spooky fairy tale."

"I see--"

"Oh and I don't know if you've met the girl who leads the nearby village, but I tied her up too."

"That's your fault!"

Delphi rolls her eyes. "There's more to everyone's story, but I feel like I've answered the question properly. Let me ask you something again, Kyle."

"Ask away."

"Would you have done the same? Banished me? I'm curious what kind of leader you are. That is what you are to these girls, correct?"

Before you can answer, Eva steps forward. "Uhm. Sorry, but I'd like to say something. Kyle took us into his party when nobody else would. That's the kind of leader he is."

"That's right," Niki says with a grin. "And look at us now. We own Dragonhide Manor, fought some tough monsters, and now we're off to slay a high succubus and her lackeys. So, no. He wouldn't banish you. Tie up all the people you want!"

I didn't get to answer... and I think this pixie is actually dangerous... Not evil, but still.

"Interesting," Delphi says. "These girls really do show you a lot of respect."

"I don't know if I'd use that word. He's still kind of a noobie," Niki says as she grabs your arm and feels for muscle.

"He is also sometimes has bad manners," Amara adds.

"You too?!" you reply.

Eva bends over and wraps her arms around your torso in a tight embrace and giggles softly. "But he's always there for us. Especially when my clothes fall off."

Delphi places a hand on her cheek and looks your party over. "I'd like to do you a favour, but you'll owe me. I'd be willing to take you through the forest quickly, if you'll show me a map of where you're heading."

"That would be great--Eva, please. I can't move," you mutter, but she doesn't let go. You think for a moment. "Eva. People behind you can see up your skirt."

"Kyle!" Eva shouts as she stands right back up and pushes her skirt down on the back.
