Her sexuality

"You indicated some history with her", gesturing towards Irina, "and you clearly have a husband; so what's going on with all of that?"

"You mean besides being bisexual?" she {if tempAlpha = true}begins to chuckle, but it slips into a laugh{else}chuckles{endif}.

"Okay, yeah, you've got me there. But you've settled down with someone so to speak, what's going on there?"{if tempAlpha = true}

"I mean, just cause I love him doesn't mean I like women any less," she giggles. "But more than one person long-term? Fuck that." Irina's face sours slightly; "Oh, sorry, puddle slut," Irina's cheeks go crimson, "didn't mean to insult you there."

"You're drunk."

"Ya, but did you expect me to answer the question about stakes sober?"

"Good point. You could have always just refused to answer though."

"I already ran from my past, I'm not gonna bury it too."

A moment of silence ensues, during which you realize, she specified long-term. "Long-term? You mean you're not entirely dedicated to him?"

"Sometimes we get a third involved for sex."

"You mean like the actress behind the princess?"

"Oh no not her. Trying to do that would be even harder than trying to get Irina in on the action between Anzi and I." Now it's Anzolo's turn to have his cheeks turn color, although he quickly regains his composure.

You raise your eyebrows, "she completely dedicated to her spouse or something?"

"Oh nah, she's single; she's just not even the slightest bit interested in men."{if Cosexual = true} She quickly looks you up and down. "Even you would be too much of a man for her." Well, can't fault her for being bold, what with her being drunk and all.{endif}

"So you love Anzolo, but sometimes have a third in bed, that about sum it up?"

"Pretty much. If you want to join us some time after you fail that trial thing, feel free."

This causes Irina to jump in, "she won't fail."

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that. You also thought the other girl wouldn't fail though and she clearly did."

"She also didn't even try to take me on dates."

Mierla shrugs, "you've got me there. Best of luck in that trial," turning her eyes to you, "you'll certainly need it."{else}

"Love paired with pragmatism," she shrugs. "With me being married I don't have to worry about any laws surrounding foreigners changing, and he treats me right. I also well and truly do love him, which definitely helps." She presses close to him, nesting her head in his shoulder.

"You also had sex on stage with the princess."

"Nah, that wasn't me, that was the character I was playing."

You peak your eyebrows, tilting your head slightly, "you submitted to the princess's actress as an act?"

"Yep. If that had been remotely genuine, she would have been groveling before me," her lips break out into a wide grin. "But yeah, even if I could seduce her, I wouldn't. She's way too sweet a person."

"The princess. Sweet?"

"Yeah, she's also an amazing actress. But no, if anyone tried to harass her, just about everyone on theater crew would come to her defense."

"So if you two are both playing roles that are basically the opposite of you, why didn't you just play the princess?"

"You're asking the vampire why she didn't want to play the role of the evil vampire princess?" Her lip ends slightly upturned at one corner, eyes lit up in amusement.

"Point taken."

"To circle back around to the topic on hand though, I very much very love Anzi here, but we're not completely exclusive to each other: we do involve a third person from time to time, as I mentioned." She pauses, sitting upright. "If you fail that trial there feel free to swing by and we might include you."

You feel your cheeks warm, causing you to wonder just how red they are. Irina speaks up, "she won't fail. I'm going to make sure of that."

"You and what army? Don't forget, their passing relies on five other people." She turns back to you, "and if you do somehow manage to pass, she totally answers to 'puddle slut.'" A wide grin breaks out on her face, her teeth showing. Huh, guess even mortal vampires have the signature canines.

You look over to Irina, whose cheeks are about the same tone as some tieflings' skin. Huh, good to know.{endif}
