The Celebration.

Ashe, Lexie and yourself walk side by side into the Castle of the Sicilian Syndicate. As you get closer and closer you see so many giant pillars of flame around the entire castle of the Syndicate. Many warriors who aren't allowed into the castle are grouped around those flames, drinking, laughing and having a great time. You look off into the distance and see the half moon glowing bright, showing off much of the Syndicate as you glance around the castle grounds. So many Syndicate warriors standing outside watching guard, making sure everything is as safe as can be for the King of the Syndicate. As you make your way into the castle, easily bypassing the guards since they know who you are, you continue to walk through a rather narrow hallway of marble walls before you entire a giant square shaped room. Hundreds of Syndicate warriors, royalty and civilians are standing around this room. There are so many wooden rectangular tables with steel trim holding many different types of food and ****. So many pigs cooked up with Sicilian people ripping into it's flesh and tearing off chunks of fat or legs to gnaw down on them. So many different Sicilian house-maidens walking around with plates that carried chalices upon chalices of wine or rum.

"Wow...this is insane." you say to your ladies.

"It is..." Lexie pauses, swallowing hard "It's nice!"

"Just another Celebration..." Ashe laughs as she's been through this before "Walk around, greet people, enjoy the food...the drink...the cock." she laughs "Or the pussy." she gives you a little push "It should be a good night." Ashe continues "ESPECIALLY if Hawk is here..." she winks at you before she walks off in the distance toward a tray of food and drink, scanning the area for her legendary archer.

You stop one of the house-maidens, grabbing two chalices of wine "Here you go Lexie." you give her one which she gratefully accepts.

"Thanks."

"Cheers! To the Syndicate!" you say, even though you aren't one hundred percent with the Syndicate, you know it's the thing to say since you're the leader.

"Cheers!" Lexie replies, clinking the chalices together.

You chug down your wine, downing almost the entire thing. As you do you notice that Lexie doesn't even bring the mug to her mouth "You okay?" you ask her.

"Yeah...just don't feel too great. I have a headache from training and my body feels weak. I think...I think I just want to take it easy tonight. I don't want to drink...it'll make me feel worse probably..." she says as she places her chalice of wine on a table.

"I know you just got here, but you should go. Don't stay here just because of me. If you're not feeling well, head back to my chambers, I'll meet you there when I"m finished." you let her know.

"I know...just....." she pauses

"Seriously Lexie..." you interrupt her "If you don't feel good, please go. I trust you. I care for you. I know if you felt okay you would be here, you'd fight through it. But I'm just going to hang out here, talk with some people, then most likely leave to come back to you." you smile.

"Darien..." Lexie grabs your waist and pulls you close, looking at you "If you want...if you want to indulge yourself..." she pauses, her eyes going to the ground "You're the leader...enjoy whatever the Syndicate has to offer...okay?" she says

You stand there, confused slightly as you realize what she is saying "Lexie...I don't plan to..."

She cuts you off "Darien..." she says "You aren't bound to me. If a Sunrider wants your cock...have fun." she nods at you. "Okay? Promise?"

"Uhh..." you scratch the side of your head as you look at Lexie "But..ummm..."

"Darien..." Lexie mumbles in your ear "Just...have fun tonight." she backs away from you smiling "Whatever you do tonight...I respect it. Don't even worry about me tonight...especially since I'm leaving early." her hand goes up to your cheek, rubbing you softly. "Maybe you can enjoy some of these royalty Sicilian ladies who will be after you through out the night." she winks

"If you so say..." you look back at Lexie.

"Just..." she pauses "Uhh..nevermind..." she smiles "Have a great night!" she leans forward and gives you a quick peck on your lips before turning around and walking away from the Castle.

"So off character..." you mumble to yourself as you watch Lexie leave the castle, "I mean...she did tell me to let loose here. It is my party..." you continue thinking to yourself "It's not like we're married or anything...and she did give me permission..." your eyes graze across the semi darkened room, looking across all the Sicilian royalty members, warriors and house maidens.
