Valerie tilted her head in turn. Eyebrows arched ever so slightly as she waited for the inevitable questions. Deceptively easy and innocent on the surface like a child questioning the order of things. The trouble however was that the questions were never easy to answer. Complicated, complex explanations were required to justify her own answers and it was difficult to gauge what would be accepted and what would be scoffed at.
“No, no, I serve myself.” Valerie’s words were soft, not coaxing, just gentle. A way to convey that she wasn’t trying to upset Sabra. Then just like that, they were back to the earlier discussion, and the blonde felt her mouth hang open for a second as she tried not to think of what being a concubine would truly entail.
“Oh, well that’s, tempting.” She said, tense, trying to pick her words carefully especially since Sabra was so close and still blocking the exit. “But you don’t find me mating material and I like to snuggle so that would just be…” She swallowed thickly. “Odd.”
Lips pressed together as Valerie took what she hoped wasn’t going to be her last breaths and added, “I just think it would be best if you didn’t limit yourself to that idea so soon. Experience the world, mingle, learn to adapt before you decide to destroy the world as I know it. I can’t help you otherwise. I mean look at it this way, you’re not dying anytime soon, perhaps ever, so there’s no rush for any kind of apocalyptic refurbishment. Right?”
