Yes

The water was indeed as cold as it promised to be. Mira submerged again, rellying on the sense deprivation to cool her senses. She couldnt see the others, casually preparing dinner. She couldnt hear them, and their light talk. If only she could wash her memories, it would be much easier.

Images of the dancer like Nadriele played on her mind, taunting her. Mira tried to focus on her other companion, certainly she felt very attracted to Aramis in the past, but it was the forbidden elf that enticed her curiosity.

Mira had to control her hands again, to stop them from going to her nipples and swollen sex. She tried to think of other things, of her rigorous training, of the pain she felt while being chained, the physical strain of combat. And fuck, that didnt help at all. She began to play with herself, hoping she was hidden and far enough so that the others wouldnt hear her. She came quickly, a shallow experience that nonetheless appeared to have calmed her senses.

A few minutes later, the paladin walks back to find her companions having dinner, the sleeping Taihon woke and carousing with the others instead of bound and gagged like he should.

"Why is this monster free?" the paladin asks, but doesnt expects an answer. She kills the cheerful mood with these words.

"Good evening, Lady Mira. I understand I have to thank you for my life. Surprising, considering you swore to kill me the last we met." Taihon says with a touch of sarcasm. Mira exchanged angry stares with Nadriele, and answers "the Goddess can be merciful, and sometimes her followers makes mistakes. Good thing she gives us more chances"

"Lets hope it doesnt come to that. I am in debt, Paladin, I wont forget it." Something about the way he said it made Mira pause. She looked at him suspiciously, and saw in his face nothing but seriousness, but since when did a **** have any emotions? or honor?

"I will arrest you if you as much as step into the Kingdom of Arlain." Mira tried to keep her priorities straight.

"Would you really leave him here, in these forsaken lands? At least give him passage" Nadriele argued, it was troubling to the paladin to hear her friend so deceived by the villain. Mira shook her head

"He is too dangerous. He violated three noblewomen in the realm" Mira gripped her sword, trying to remember she was being merciful to the monster.

"Eleven, but I suppose this means eight didnt complain. I wonder why"

"Taihon, you are not helping" Nadriele interposed between the two

"You are right, of course." the chastised Taihon answers

"What if I swear by his behavior while he is in your kingdom? Would that suffice" Mira would like nothing better than **** the unrepentful man, but she trusted her friend enough. She was resourceful and respected in Arlain, these were good terms.

"Then I swear it"

"And I promise to behave, Lady Mira" she didnt trust his devilish smile for even a second.
