Origin

So kind of you to show interest in one such as myself.

Simper, Svana, they all eat it right up

I have lived here for some years, as you know, and I have met the most...

Add a caress here, it reroutes the blood from the brain to other, less dangerous places

... fascinating people. My story is rather dull...

After all, the noble-born assassin disguised as a renowned courtesan, one Seven Veils Toccata in this rendition, is so passe, who would be interested? The only twist is that I am not motivated by greed or spite... well, not usually spite, anyway.

...Are you sure you want to hear it? Very well. It is all very boring, but...

And, if it's boring enough, you will drop it, and if I have to drop your pants, well, that's life.

I come from a decent enough background, my mother was a concubine...

Oh, if Mother ever heard this, she would have me dragged home just to Shun me again! Why she is the third daughter of House Blær! If anything, she always felt that Father - may his reincarnation be glorious - was her consort and lucky to have her!

... to a noble in Frozen Principalities. I shan't say which, of course, but he was very generous with his child. I was educated and given something of a dowry when I matured, and I left to find my own place in Creation.

Let's not mention the betrothal, the bastard, the scandal, and the Shunning, shall we? Certainly not. Now, bring it back to him...

It is such a big world...

Vulnerability always sells! Oh, and widen your eyes a bit... there!

... I sometimes feel rather lost in it!

Yuck, that is actually a little too true. Well, verisimilitude is useful.

I have many friends, of course, but I still long for the feeling of being safe and protected.

Safe? Is there any such thing? Maybe not... but not because I don't try! And, if I can't protect, I can always avenge.

I am sure you have never felt that way - you are a trained warrior, accustomed to asserting your will with force and determination.Sometimes I wish...

Let that hang right there. Ah, the young, vulnerable, wistful woman, equal parts Madonna and Whore. Which intrigues you more, Captain? Now, a brave smile and...

It is cold tonight, Captain. And, I find I am tired. Will you escort me home? It is unwise for a young woman to be out alone at night.

And, now, to decide. Do I let him seduce me, or leave him panting with a virginal kiss? I think... frustration clouds judgement quite nicely.
