Kiss. "Yes, we will."

"Where do we want to start with the rumors? Taking people away from their home stomping grounds will be useful - and out into an area we can prepare ahead of time, and don't have to worry about witnesses. But we'll still need to be close enough to a rumor network..."

"This area is mountainous. There should be some suitable cave system relatively nearby."

"And remote enough it's plausible things have been laying around undiscovered."

Nod.

"We can get a map tomorrow morning, pick somewhere likely and start rumors - even just vague ones."

"Sounds like a plan."

Nuzzle. "Though I think for now we should head back to the inn and snuggle some."

"Mm, we have been working very hard..."

"Could use a reward for all of our effort."

"And who do you imagine will reward us?"

"I think I can contrive a reward or two for you..."

"Enticing." To the inn.

Where, once ensconced in their room, Lace kneels facing Elana, head down just enough she can look up through her eyelashes.

"Your wish is my command, mistress," she says, voice almost teasing.

"Mmm." She takes Lace's head in her hands. "Is it?"

"Absolutely."

Elana can think of a few wishes for Lace to fulfill.

She's rather delighted about it.

Delight all around, then.

The best sort of reward.

Cute girl.

Heeeeee.

Elana spoils her, of course.

Elana is of the opinion that Lace deserves it.

Awww, best girlfriend.

"I'm gonna show you the best time when it's my world hosting," she teases.

"You've certainly talked it up enough."
