Sadde knocks on Isabella's door at 7PM sharp.
"Initially, exploring Venus on a lower tech budget than regular astronauts would need. In acts two and three fighting aliens."
She beams widely. "Thank you, ma'am. But surely that's not the only thing you find attractive? Otherwise our meeting is even more serendipitous than I'd previously assumed."
"Sure, I find other things attractive. I don't find most other things motivatingly attractive. I like how you look at me, but it wouldn't be a qualifying feature on its own. You're cute and the gender-swapping thing is rather imagination-provoking but that wouldn't do it either. But you want to make everyone immortal and you have my attention."
"Hopefully more than your attention, in time."
"I may be having fantasies of wearing your collar. Those are very happy fantasies."
Sadde moves her head a bit, rubbing her cheek against Isabella's lap with a blissful smile on her face. Haaaaaaappy Sadde.
"So, as long as we're close to the subject, I understand it's a bit weird but one of the items in my list is in fact wearing a leash. How do you feel about that?"
"I have no idea how having you on a leash would affect my balance. Entirely amenable in principle, though."
"You said your balance was at a place where mages and psions alike prefer not touching it. How much of that is a matter of opinion or preference as opposed to some inherent limitation or it being entrenched in too much stuff?"
"I'm not sure; it seems to be a case of 'neither can tell if it is in fact under their kind of magic or not'. I'll work on it myself, once I have precognition well under way, in case it can be healed psionically, but I might not get anywhere so I don't want to frontload the effort."
