Dyther chuckled. "You do not fool me, Shahrizai; in your eyes you are forced to do that already. Others cannot make you a goddess, whether by words or leers. Taking control of your destiny from the hands of fate, now...that is a pleasure unlike any other."

Shah visibly breathes in deep from under the layers of her clothing, then let out a long sigh. "I believe I already have some form of control. I was the one who decided to come along on this somewhat ludicrous journey. But I don't see the pleasure amidst all this nonsense that has happened."

Dyther shrugs. "It's the living. Look around you. These fools convince themselves some statue has made this part of their...plan. Do you see a plan? I see sheep trying to find their shepherds. If you find no pleasure, why not leave and find it elsewhere? You don't need to be here to reap the rewards of your financial decisions. Unless we make better lovers here than I'd thought."

"Just so they don't have the satisfactio nof saying I'm entirely a thieving bloodsucker of a foreigner and that I was there throughout the journey. That's one reason for it, but no, there hasn't been much time for love, and I certainly don't find men who haven't bathed in months, sometimes years, and men with manes of hair the least bit attractive. And before you ask, most of the women are as ugly as the men."

"At least here you fuck real men, not male whores who stink of perfume and weak womens' scent." Dyther chuckled and drained his third ale. "At least fornicate with equals, not that you are likely to find them here, admittedly. Too many sheep."

Shah's head shot back with the force of her laughter and she wiped the bottom of her eye, "I always pray for winds from the north, though it might freeze me solid, I dare not face the smell of what you call real man. And, how many other gods and goddesses are there here amongst camp, if you would point them out to me."

"Few enough. Some I had once thought were, but no longer. It is nice being able to have washed and shaved here at this castle. I smell like a freshly picked flower that kills people, I dare say."

"Just once? Please, I have not bathed for a week, and I smell better than you. But yes, some flowers are not all pretty little things." She chuckled again, still catching her breath from her previous outburst. "It was Ser Maekar that deemed me a precious myrish flower or some such."

"If you'd even consent to pity sex with that man I fear I've sadly overestimated you." Dyther shrugs.

Shah was too out of breath now to laugh and drank her wine instead. "Toying with him is fun, I did try getting him to grovel at my feet, which he refused. But I believe he will come back to me in some way."

"Now, I do see the appeal of that. His refusal makes me respect him half a degree more, which has him at the same temperature as...an Other's balls."

"Well, am I not someone who should have men grovelling at my feet? Why would you respect him more for not giving in to me?"

"You may deserve it, but a man with a backbone still shouldn't do it." Dyther chuckles.

"He'd have been brave to do it in a sense. Besides, he was good at tending to my feet." Shah plants her cup down on the table, "I think that will be all for now Dyther, I wouldn't want to divulge any other half secrets." Rekhmire fidgets in his pockets for the coin to pay for them all.

"Fair night, Shahrizai. Perhaps we shall speak again some time." He stands, half bows, and leaves the tent.
