"Mmmm, not at all." Kiss. "Perhaps you can be a bit meaner to her, my next turn..."

"Since you ask it of me."

Nuzzle. "I rather like watching her penalties, I'll admit."

Gentle kiss. "Her reactions are impressive."

"I'm very beautiful when I'm in pain, aren't I?"

"You are."

"And at other times as well, I suppose," she adds.

"All the time." (...Why is there a weird feeling in her chest, weird feelings should highly consider Stopping It.)

"Now that you mention it..." Kiss. "That's right."

Heeeee.

"I love you, darling."

"I love you, sweetheart."

Happy kiss.

(Despite the backdrop of Lace's screams, Acererak's kind of... Forgetting about her, a little, in exchange for doting on her girlfriend.)

That's what background music is for. To set the mood, and fade into the background.

Eventually they should let her out, though.

Eventually.

Acererak undoes the spell once she's in a more cuddly mood.

Lace slouches in her bonds, gasping and sobbing.

Eliese drags her into the cuddle pile.

She nuzzles them both, shaking, crying into whichever shoulder's presented to her.

Eliese brushes her hair back and kisses her forehead.

Mmmm.

It takes her a bit to recover.

Once she has, Eliese informs her they've decided to allow her a chance to redeem her failure.

"Thank you, mistress."

Eliese ruffles her hair fondly. "My good girl deserves it, doesn't she?"

Heeeee. She kisses Eliese. "I'll try to be worthy, mistress."

Cute when she smiles.

"I hope so, Lacey."

Nuzzle.

And Acererak starts a new round for Eliese. She's nicer to Lace, this time.
