Vole and Riade It had always been a bit difficult for her to quantify their relationship. Truly she enjoyed his company, his companionship, as much as she enjoyed his bed. Certainly a different affair than most were used to, with her small stature of a rock gnome, and his sembian sailor frame. She knew her family and friends would be shocked and disapproving. Knew, but cared little, they had early grown tired of her capers, and disapproved much more of her actions long ago. Happy alone or with the group she had joined, she had never found herself attracted to any in her travels. Until, of course their voyage on The Royal. Where stand now, the time they spent together, if some of it were only playacting. Murmurs in afterglow, half asleep conversation, racing to learn all she could of this sailor who might sail out of her life as easily as he'd sailed into her affections. Where stand they now, and which parts were truth, or only part truth. Her affections stand, but her mind is confused. Who is Riade, not quite the person she had spent getting to know. Could she ever know him fully? Trust him fully? She'd given herself freely, naively to be sure, but to whom? *Vole's thoughts after learning that Riade was more than a simple, lovely sembian sailor, and was in fact, a spy.
