Eri shrugs, "That was weird...she's never acted like that before. Well, let's not let the food get cold alright. Come over here to the table and let's have something to eat." She says while starting to uncover the various dishes.
Getting up from the bed, Tehanna discarded the towel and moved to the table. "Many of those of the surface fear the Drow, her reaction isn't that strange. A few days should clear that up," She said as she took her seat.
The uncovered tray revealed fresh bread and savory seasoned meat. A bowl of cut up fruit is set off to the side, and two cups with a pitcher of juice.
She shrugs, "You don't seem that scary to me. I never understood how people could fear something they don't even know." She smiles as they sit down at the table together to enjoy the delectable food laid before them, "People were always afraid of me...or hating me...without even knowing me. I gave them a reason to fear me. If they're gonna do it anyways...I might as well give them one right? I don't much care for most humans either. They're too....twitchy."
Eri starts piling food on her plate, "I don't think there's anything wrong with you, and I don't think you're a bad person or someone to fear. You were exiled by your own people because you sought justice for what they did to you....she has no reason to be afraid of you and I'll make sure she knows that when she comes back."
Taking a few bites she looks at her love's nude form, "Are you sure you're not too cold like that? I can find ya a robe or something if you're cold."
Aleister takes the lead into the palace. "Anything specific you're hoping to find?" he asks.
"Drow have a reputation for being merciless and cruel. It comes from the raids we've led on the surface. How do you suppose my friend got to my homeland? His great-grandparents were captured and brought below."
Taking some bites of her own food, she responded, "I'm perfectly fine. If I get too cold, you'll know."
"Hmph....well, I don't care what anyone thinks. You're neither one of those things. You are not your people, and your people aren't you. I don't expect everyone to see you the way that I do, but I expect them not to judge you without knowing you. Does that make sense? Now, enough about all that. When Granny gets back I'll have a talk with her, we'll get dressed and deal with other stuff, and everything will be fine." She says, continuing with the delicious meal.

"Not really," Gio says. "Maybe we'll get lucky and find something. All I was aiming for was a little vacation from Taqan and that place."
With the Halfling in the lead, the three of you ascend the steps to the gates. Peering through the opening, you see a monumental entryway lined with columns, each one carved to look like a dwarf warrior standing guard. Not seeing any immediate threat, you enter, but soon, from either side of the hall you hear the sound of many footsteps approaching accompanied by ruckus talking.
Once more, there came a knock at your door, "Dearie, may I come in?"
Gio looks around for the source of the noise.
Eri goes to the door and opens it, "Of course you can come in. I was trying to figure out why you hightailed it outta here like Asmodeus himself was after ya."

Granny simply smiled as she wheeled the cart in with some clothes and sheets, "I figured the quicker I retrieved your requested items, the sooner an old woman was no longer in your private business. You've got that glow Dearie, and so does she, you don't need standing in the way of a good tumble."
Gio silently gestures to the doorways.
Not embarrassed in the slightest she waves a hand dismissively, "Oh, we already did that, and it was very very good. I'll probably be up for round two a little later once we take care of some more pressing issues. " Looking over at Tehanna and down at herself she adds, "After we get some clothes on of course. You're not scared of Tehanna are you Granny? She's okay, really she is....she's actually so much better than okay....but do you know what I mean? She's thed one I was talking about before....remember?" She asks, mot wanting her Granny to bed afraid of someone that meant so much to her.
Granny responded, "Oh I understand completely Dearie, and no, I'm not scared of her. But childhood tales of Dark Elves can still spark an initial fear, even if you can easily crush it, it will still crop up from time to time."
She placed the clothes on the bedside table, and the sheets on the bed, "Would you like me to make up the bed then Dearie?"
She nods, "I understand, just please don't have those feelings about Tehanna okay? Get to know her, please? For me?" She says before looking from Tehanna to the bed, "And yes, I would appreciate it if you made that thing up for me." She would wait until they were done eating to get her clean clothes on.
Aleister waits for welcoming party to arrive. "This should be interesting."
Granny got to work making the bed with practiced ease. Despite her age, the woman was quite quick. After the bed was pristine, Granny asked, "Is there anything I can do for the two of you?"
Eri shakes her head, "Nothing else right now thank you. Maybe some dessert later?"
"As you wish Dearie, anything specific?"
She thinks for a moment, "Hmmmm....maybe something with fruit? Chocolate and strawberries maybe?" She asks with a hopeful sound to her voice and a look at Tehanna that spoke volumes.
Tehanna looked to Eri, "What is a strawberry?"
Granny got a mischievous grin on her face, "Strawberries and chocolate it is then. I'll be back later with the dessert." The old woman bowed and left the room.
Eri smiles at Tehanna's question. After Granny leaves, Eri goes back to eating her meal. When she's finished she looks up at Tehanna coyly, "Strawberries are a red sweet fruit that when combined with certain....elements, can be very tasty and....enjoyable to eat."
Getting up from her seat she moves around to behind where Tehanna sits in her chair and kisses her softly on the nape of her neck, "And if you're a very good girl, I will show you later just how enjoyable it can be." She whispers softly into her lover's ear, before gently nipping her on the shoulder.
Moving away from the table she drops the towel and starts to don the clothing that Granny left for her, a tight dark top that accentuated her modest assets nicely, and dark leather breeches that left little of her form to the imagination.
Smiling impishly at her love she says in a throaty but authoritative voice, "Come on and get dressed now love, if you're done eating. We have business to deal with, and then we can have some more fun later."
Tehanna gave Eri a naughty sidelong look as the Skinwalker whispered in her ear. As the young woman walked by her, the Drow gave a playful yet firm smack on the backside, "I look forward to it."
After her love was dressed, Tehanna's eyes wandered up and down, "Your servant has excellent taste."
Getting up, the Dark Elf gracefully walked over to the remaining clothes. Granny has selected a white blouse, which Tehanna did not tie up entirely, allowing some of her cleavage to remain visible. She then put on the deep red breeches and black boots at almost came up to the knee. "Ready when you are......you know, I'm going to need to come up with a pet name for you."

After Tehanna gave her behind a good smack, Eri looked back at her with her lower lip sticking out while giving her smacked rear a little rub, "Hey...." She says sounding a bit pouty before returning the naughty look with one of her own as she gets dressed.
Looking at herself in the mirror she glances this way and that, "Yeah...I guess so. Anything is better than rags though...well, the last clothes I got weren't that bad....but they didn't fit me this well either." Going over to the dresser she rummages through it till she pulls out a bit of leather cord. Using her brush she pulls it through her hair and uses the cord to tie it back a bit so it wasn't all in her face.
After getting her hair up she turns her head to watch Tehanna as she gets dressed. More than enjoying the way her clothing accentuated her glorious form. Even the boots she found extremely sexy for some reason. Chiding herself silently that they had important things to do, she somehow manages to tear her eyes away from her love.
Moving away from the mirror she tucks a stray strand of hair behind her hair nervously. It hadn't been cut in a really really long time and was pretty unruly....but she got most of it tied back. She tries to control the look of lust in her eyes as they take in Tehanna's beauty, "Yeah....I'm ready...does my hair look okay like this?" She almost doesn't hear the part about the pet name until their about to walk out the door. Taking Tehanna's hand in hers she says, "Okay....just nothing silly like mittens or anything okay? You're the only person that's ever called me anything really....well, besides monster." She says with a thoughtful look as her eyebrows furrow slightly.
Gio moves behind one of the pillars.
Tehanna looked at Eri's hair, "It could probably use a brushing, but I can handle that later."
Putting a hand on Eri's cheek, "Don't worry, it'll be adorable, just like you."
Eri scrunches up her nose and stomps a foot, "I am not adorable. I'm a mean vicious killer." She then sticks out her lower lip, "I tried to brush it....it's just...well, it's been a while."
The Drow gave her a tender kiss, "You're not to me."

"Ohhh...okay, fine. I'm not to you, just like you're not some scary lady to me. Fair?" She says with an innocent smile.
