Palas wants the portrait to be made more lewd

"... Truth be told... I feel as if the portrait could be more... evocative." As Palas admitted this, she chewed one long finger-nail and tried to decide what, exactly, she was asking for.

"Evocative of what?" The vampire lowered her eyebrows with a meaningful smile, as if she already had some guesses.

"I suppose the word I'm looking for is... arousing?"

The vampire's smile turned into a grin, showing her fangs. "I think I may have an idea, Palas. Just give me a moment to bring my dogs inside..."

That expression looked newly evil and somehow caused Palas to shudder with anticipation... it reminded her of how she'd felt when she was abused by Mympho. Perhaps she was a masochist in addition to an exhibitionist...?

After a short wait, during which Palas seriously began to contemplate finding something to hide behind in the sparse garden so that any passers-by wouldn't see her sitting nude outside her friend's house, the vampire returned, still boldly unclothed. The woman gave a nobleman's bow, then gestured to offer one arm. "Please, accompany me to the site of your new portrait. I think you will find this much more accommodating to your interests... However, I assure you, the painting I now have in mind will be suitable for display only in my most private sanctum. Ha ha ha..."

Palas accepted the vampire's arm, barely noticing the intimacy and closeness that this created, with each of their elbows rubbing the sides of each other's exposed breasts. All she could think about was the painting to come. What would the vampire show her? Something around the other side of the house, just past Lydins' dog kennels? She struggled to remember if there were any suitably sexy locales out behind the De Geomorte mansion...

The spy was surprised when they instead stopped, right in front of the dog kennels.

"I decided the portrait would benefit from a few accessories after all, Palas. Lower your head for just a moment, please."

The spy's one exposed eye blinked dumbly; as she followed the request, she felts something lowered around her head, then fastened around her neck. She looked down to see that a fancy, brown dog collar with gold adornments had been attached around her neck, reading "CUDDLEBONES" across the bone shape at the center. Stupidly, she tilted her head to follow the chain running from the back of the collar... it terminated at a post in the ground. "Wait... Lydins...!"

Laughter burst from Lydins De Geomorte's throat as she pranced a short distance away, her bare feet sploshing in the mud; she waved an iron collar key tauntingly, then threw it inside the house through the doggy door. "I think you're going to enjoy this new venue, Palas. And if you don't, well... I think I've also safely ensured you'll stop moving the goal post on this little venture of ours. Ha ha ha ha ha!" One might think this was all mean-spirited of the vampire, but really, she had one finger keenly on the pulse of her friend's new exhibitionist tendencies and knew what the illusionist wanted even better than Palas herself did.

"This... This is mortifying!" Palas moaned, feeling her legs trembling. Her body had become extremely hot at the thought of being painted while chained up like one of the De Geomorte hellhounds...

"You don't like it, Palas? Thankfully, my dear, your illusion magic should let you poof out of there whenever you choose. Go ahead and use your magic, if you're not interested in this painting of mine."

The illusionist flipped her hair and tried to shift her legs to hide the new glistening wetness at her pussy's lips. She couldn't tell if it was the early moisture of arousal or if she was wetting herself with terror at admitting to a close friend that she was interested in being painted nude in a dog kennel. "I... I suppose... It does seem like you have a certain idea in your... artistic mind's eye, whatever you might call it. We may as well entertain the idea... and see how it goes."

"Splendid. Now... about the pose..."
