Moondance taps his shoulder. :Leareth, you have permission to read Carissa with Thoughtsensing for instructions. You can move in bed and speak: 

He's gotten into the habit of repeating that whenever he interacts with Leareth, even if the time horizon hasn't elapsed; if it were him, or Starwind, having it lapse and suddenly being unable to move would be awful. 

Leareth doesn't bother to open his eyes. He can wait until the Tayledras leave. 

He does start trying to read Carissa, though. 

She has no updates on her plans and doesn't expect they're alone; she is ranking all the Healers by attractiveness, this being distracting and something that'll make the Healing-trainee feel awkward enough they might slip a facial expression if they're mindreading her. Gemma has resting bitchface. Melody would be hot if she wasn't constantly exuding an aura of - of needing more Evil? Which isn't even the same thing as being Good - the kid who most recently brought food is cute but she bets he would be totally out of his depths in bed. 

The Healing-trainee does not visibly react to this. 

(The young Herald next door does make a choked sound. She was dispatched to read Carissa at a distance while she's in with Leareth - before that they had settled on Herald Vanyel doing something to the Web so it would inform him immediately of any magic she did, without leaving any visible sign of new wards she might notice, and had Melody spot-checking in between her massive backlog of delayed patient sessions.) 

Leareth is faintly amused, and sort of wishes he could ask her for clarification on why being more Evil would add to Melody's attractiveness, but he is not cleared to use projective Mindspeech and so he can't. 

Kid before that needs a fuller beard. Savil's hot. Vanyel is the WORST and so she refuses to acknowledge that he's also gorgeous. Starwind has that vibe where he'd be good in bed but also leave you feeling vaguely like shit about yourself afterwards and not sure why. Moondance is a service sub which is fine but not really Carissa's thing. Girl who periodically refreshes the candles is cute.  Leareth would be a great lay if he were Evil but since he's good she bets he isn't.

...All right what does that even MEAN. There is absolutely no point in being insulted about it and Leareth isn't, really, he's just - confused. And mildly entertained, which is nice, lying here all day pretending to feel worse than he does is boring. 

He's allowed to move, so he turns his head to face Carissa and raises an eyebrow at her. 

You can Mindspeak, she thinks back at him.

Good people are always terrible in bed because they are too neurotic to know what they want and too incompetent to get it. You don't have to like it but it's true.

:- That...is not a model of human sexuality I have ever heard espoused before! ...Honestly it might be true of Vanyel on the 'neurotic' front. Also I thought that I am in fact very Evil according to your world's alignment system. Though I make no claims about - how I am in bed - I would claim that I do know what I want, but it has generally not included...that: 

I mean it's dinging you for murdering lots of people but you are very paradigmatically Good aside from that, and so I am unsurprised to learn that what you want has generally not included 'that'. Is it because saving the world is so important that you have no time for sex? That's a common one. Also 'I just couldn't do right by someone' or 'it's not meaningful to me if we don't really love each other', those are also Good sorts of neuroses.

:- Mostly I prefer to - not be the shape of person who has that as a background source of distraction? ...Also in the past, anyone close to me was at high risk of being assassinated by gods, and - most people are much less able to protect themselves than I am: 

Yup. Classic. I called it.

The Herald next door is making NOISES but she is mostly trying to do it into her hand. 

See, an Evil person who was just as ambitious would just have a stable of hot people they didn't care about, which also solves that problem, and allows for a pretty great sex life, but this solution did not occur to you, because you are Good. But the Evil version of you, who was doing that, would be great in bed.

:I mean - I have hobbies! It is just - less logistically complicated, and more immediately rewarding, to have a very good library and sometimes study magic because it is interesting rather than because it is useful: 

The Herald watching is - honestly really weirded out that the two prisoners seem to be making friends? Given that the Chelish wizard was apparently keeping the evil immortal bloodpath mage guy prisoner before this? ...Well, they are both evil. Except for the part where the Chelish woman is apparently deeply confused about this??? 

Anyway she is really really wishing that her job right now could be literally anything else. 

That really sounds like the opinion of someone who has never had great sex in their life, because they're Good, and don't know how, but she should maybe stop giving him a hard time, under the circumstances.

:- This is a very pointless idea, but I am bizarrely tempted to try to Thoughtsense Vanyel so that we can determine if he has ever had great sex: 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. 

All right. This is ridiculous. 

:- Savil? Er, are you busy?: 

Crap. Savil almost knocks her cup of wine all over the treasury-report she's reviewing in her quarters. :What. Is something wrong: 

:Nnnnnnooooo...not exactly...: 

:Spit it out, girl: 

:Ummm - so I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on the Evil wizard prisoner but she's - bantering with the evil mage about how good people have terrible sex? I guess they're bored? Anyway, um, I - don't feel like this is a very good use of my time right now -: 

She is not going to laugh - she is definitely not laughing– all right, fine, Savil, is absolutely giggling to herself, but she is not going to let any of that slip through in her Mindspeech. 

:She must be very bored! She's been alone in her room all day and she didn't even want a book to read, apparently. ...Er, it's probably fine - I'll tell Van to keep an extra-close eye on the Web-alarms. And can you ask Melody to check in on them when she has a chance? Then I think you can go:
