This time there's no maiming...for real! (Tegaea)

"You were the one who put me to sleep. If it weren't for these silly rules, we could've had lots of fun together," Elpsis insisted. Suffice to say she was discovering even more reasons to want to punish the elf! Maybe there'd be a place for her in the Third Pillar!


Anyhow, Chesna went to sign her out and by the time she'd returned Elpsis had stopped lazing around and managed to get dressed: Simple white tank top, pair of dark jeans, black boots and that was it. She was doing her boot laces when Chesna appeared. The remark about how she shouldn't strain herself received an unlady-like snort in response. "Yeah, yeah, not like it's my fault a Sith decided it would be cool to interrupt my drink."

Chesna mussed her hair affectionately…and probably to troll her a bit.
“Of course, I know you’re not getting maimed on purpose. You’re not, are you? I mean, there’s masochism and then there’s that!” Chesna said happily.

Tegaea was just arriving in a speeder as they exited. She gave Elpsis a hug.
“You’re looking much better!” she said with a nod. “Jump in, I’ll take you back to the suite for today. Did you sleep well?”

"No, I'm not," Elpsis insisted firmly and put her firemane back in order. Chesna needed more punishment. However, she smiled brightly when she saw Tegaea. The older redhead pulled her into a hug and for a moment or two Elpsis froze.


The young woman was not used to people being this affectionate. Sure, Tempest was very sweet, but Elpsis was still dealing with her messed up childhood. However, then she relaxed and returned the embrace. She probably held on for longer than was appropriate.


It occured to her that Tegaea was bloody tall. Like an amazon. She also had strong arms and a lovely bosom. "Thanks. You look...good too," Elpsis said bashfully, climbing into the speeder after Tegs. "I slept well. Chesna was very helpful."

“She was, was she? That’s not like her,” Tegaea said with a grin.
Chesna stuck out her tongue.
“The more you try, the longer your punishment is pushed back. I’m not laying a finger on you until next week now,” Tegaea said serenely.
Chesna sulked, but dared not make any further comment.

Her game of trolls with Chesna paused when she realised that Elpsis might just have a bit more on her mind than being affectionate with her aunt. The hug complete with slight grope sort of showed that.

She looked at Elpsis briefly as they drove along, pondering. When they pulled up she took Elpsis aside whilst Chesna unloaded any luggage.
“So, Elpsis my dear, I understand that you’ve been pursuing a certain Dahomian lady we both know. How’s that going?” she asking, putting an arm on the younger woman’s shoulders.

I'm enjoying this way too much. Even Elpsis seemed to realise that! But, in all fairness, it wasn't her fault Tegaea was a gourgeous woman and she was feeling an inappropriate affection for her. They were close enough for Elpsis to smell the scent of Tegaea's lovely perfume. Its lush fragrance invaveded her nostrils and seemed intoxicating. Bit like the flowers in the garden of a Naboo noble whose vault her gang had tried to heist once. She shuddered slightly when Tegaea put her arm around her shoulders, though she did not pull away. Elpy, get your mind out of the gutter, she tried to remind herself.


The mention of Tempest made that a difficult task to accomplish. "Courting? Uh, it's going well...I think. Dunno. I, uh, well, really like her," she said bashfully. A pink hue had spread across her cheeks. Sod it, she needed to get laid and fast.

“Have you told her this? Have you expressed your love to her under the pale moonlight? Have you found out what she likes and seduced her to you? Have you proven your qualities and gone through great trials to win her?”
She wasn’t mocking, but she was gently parodying the notion of young love.

“Tempest is a lovely woman, and I can think of no one better to contain that raging storm than you, Elpsis. However, you need to take the initiative if she hasn’t. I am, of course, here to help you if you want it.”

Playing matchmaker was something Tegaea delighted in. Game of Hearts, one might say.

For the time being Elpsis was sufficiently distracted from her quasi-incestuous desire to lock lips with her spiritual auntie. She wasn't the sharpest crayon in the box, but she realised Tegaea was joking. "Now you're just making fun of me. I don't do that fairy tale chit." Presumably Elpsis would strongly disapprove of Twilight. She shoved her hands in her pockets, looking uncertain.


"I don't know whether it's love. Hell if I know what the feth that is. I just know that I like her a lot and want to see more of her. I'm happy with her around." Those blue eyes looked up to Tegaea. "What was it like between you and Siobhan? I mean, when did you know? What did you do?"

 

[Tegaea Alcori]

[member="Elpsis Kallikora"]
“You’re pretty close then. How you know it’s love is if you want to see and talk to them about things other than work or sex. If you find yourself wanting to be in her company and missing her when she’s not around…then yes, you love her.”

“When did I know with Sio? Oh, I knew pretty early, though it was a while before I staked my claim. When even after months I was thinking about her I knew she was something special, you know?”

“So what we’ve got to do is get you ready to confess your feelings to her. It’ll be a project!” Tegaea said happily.

The closest thing Elpsis had to an actual 'relationship' was a liaison with the rather violent captain of her old smuggler gang. One might add that Elpsis was a minor at the time. In any case, it had been based on lust. On the bright side, this meant Tempest would not have to deal with the redhead pining after a dead lover!


Elpsis looked rather uncertain. Truth be told, the idea scared her a bit. However, Tegaea's confidence seemed contagious. The older woman seemed like a force of nature to her. "You'd help me? Thanks." Impulsively she planted a kiss on Tegaea's cheek.


That was ok, right? After all, she hadn't kissed the woman's lovely red lips. "I have no clue where to start. How'd you win Sio over? Were their handcuffs?" This was totally a normal conversation.

 

[Tegaea Alcori]

[member="Elpsis Kallikora"]
“There were handcuffs. And whips, and…well…” she paused. “Well, you’ll find out, I guess. But all that fun was only part of it. If you want a sex buddy that’s all very well, but if you want to form a connection with someone you need to show understanding, you need to understand the good and the bad.”

“I’ll be happy to help you out, Elpsis. But you’ll need to follow my instructions and plan this out carefully. You’ll need to look and act the part, and you’ll need to learn how to capture her heart.”

She did look a little surprised at the kiss. “And, my dear, you’ll need to learn discipline too. And how to give it out.”

 

[Elpsis Kerrigan]

[member="Tegaea Alcori"]


"Discipline, huh?" she asked with a smirk. "Sure, thing, Mistress." Presumably she didn't know about the Order yet! "I know I need to be more confident. I'm not totally sure what you mean with changing though. Tempest's likes me the way I am," she said.


There were some nerves, but her tone was firm for a change. She didn't know how much the Dahomian fancied her, but it was obvious to her that she did. It was doubtful that Elpsis would react well to the idea of being a pretty woman project. It would remind her a lot of her adoptive parents.

 

[Tegaea Alcori]

[member="Elpsis Kallikora"]
Tegaea pondered.
“I guess so, she likes you as is, so making you different won’t make her like you more.” Tegaea would have to shelve her plans for turning Elpsis into a pretty princess.
“Still, I can teach you confidence, how to attract Tempest and how to make her your own. Fortunately we have Harmony, so you can practice with her. I can also teach you how to be Tempest’s willing sub or strong dom too. Of course, I’ll show you using Chesna for that.”
She was making a point of distancing herself from the romantic training so that Elpsis realised that Tegaea and her were not a possibility in that way.

 

[Elpsis Kerrigan]

[member="Tegaea Alcori"]


Tegaea would probably not succeed in transforming Elpsis into a high femme like Siobhan. Least no in this thread. She might succeed in giving her some feminine traits though. Besides, both still shared a love for sexy leather. That was something for the two to bond over!


"Y'know, if there's something that could use improving or where I could change, I'm all ears. I just don't want to look in the mirror and not recognise myself," Elpsis said softly. Obviously she could not discern what was going on in Tegaea's head. She was an empath and could read basic emotions, but was not a mind reader. For some reason she felt like she did not want to disappoint her auntie.


Elpsis was not the sharpest crayon in the box and not particularly intelligent, but she picked up on the distance Tegaea put between herself and special training. Part of her felt disappointed. However, to her credit she nodded, instead of making a scene. The thought of practicing on Harmony and Chesna raised her spirits though.


"Tempest is always so strong and confident. It's like she just has to whistle and I'll do whatever she wants. I want that kind of strength. I want to take her and for everyone to know that she's mine. I mean, it's not like I'm totally inexperienced. I dommed [member="Cora Passek"] once." Elpsis was probably unaware of the fact that her two aunties knew the Cuddlly Terrorist very well.

 

[Tegaea Alcori]

[member="Elpsis Kallikora"]
“Dominance is about trust, first and foremost. If you don’t trust someone you will never give them the control over you even in the smallest way. My advice to you is to build slowly towards it. If you want a relationship to be built on more than lust and more on love and trust you can’t just rush into things.”

“I think there’s two ways you can change without compromising what makes you special. The first is I’d get you a new outfit. Not one which changes you, but enhances you. The other is teaching you how to best react in any situation. You need not be a princess, but you must have confidence in yourself, and show it. Women love confidence, though not arrogance. Finding the line between them is harder than you might think.”

They were inside the villa now and Tegaea rung a small silver bell.
A moment later Harmony emerged. The Dahomian was one of the nebulously titled ‘maidens’ the clan employed, mainly for things where the term ‘maiden’ was certainly not accurate.

“Harmony, you know Elpsis I’m sure. As I’m sure you also know she has a bit of a thing for Ms Tempest. We were hoping to borrow your expertise in how to treat a Dahomian lady properly.”

 

[Elpsis Kerrigan]

[member="Tegaea Alcori"]


Now that Elpsis had stopped being so terribly distracted by pseudo-incestuous desires to bed her hot auntie, she could probably appreciate her advice more. She nodded while Tegaea spoke and led her into the shiny suite. The place was less big and grandiose than the villa, but no less opulent. It still made her feel rather self-conscious. Contrary to what certain holovids might imply, being a fringer was not glamorous at all. Nor did the average smuggler strut around in impractically sexy leather outfits.


She smiled shyly at Tegs, feeling happy the older woman was being understanding, and bent down to take off her boots. Fortunately, by now Elpsis had learned enough etiquette to put them away instead of just kicking them off and leaving them lying around.


"Ok. I think I understand. I get that confidence's important, but I wanna learn. I want this thing between Tempest and me, whatever it is, to mean something," she grinned slightly, having apparently gotten some of her old fire back.


"Well, that and make her weak in the knees. Maybe get her on her knees, too." It was always good when you had a sexually liberated auntie with whom you could discuss such things. The silver bell rang and soon a wild Harmony showed up!


Well, actually she was not very wild. Whereas Tempest was a warrior woman with an amazonian body, Harmony was more of a perfumed flower body in a gourgeous, black skinned package. Her white dress was rather brief. Elpsis licked her lips at the sight. As the saying goes, once you go black, you never go back...


"Hi, there, Mistress, Elpsis," the young woman said cheerfully. "I was wondering when you'd ask. There's been a betting pool about those two!"


Elpsis looked completely dumbfounded. "There's...a betting poll about who I'm dating?"


Harmony looked completely innocent. "For two weeks. Aisha owes me ten dati."


The irony was that Elpsis would have participated if the pool had been about someone else. "That's...so wrong. Since my sex life is such a hot topic around here and you got creds because of it, I guess it's only fair you let me experiment on you, huh?"


"I'll gladly help you conquer the heart of your Dahomian warrior love. By the time we're done, you'll be ready to carry her off into the sunset on the back of a galloping Yazgid." Elpsis' mouth was wide open, she really did not know how to respond to that. It was difficult to win a trolling war against Harmony or Chesna.

 

[Tegaea Alcori]

[member="Elpsis Kallikora"]
It was hard to shock or outdo people who had no shame! Tegaea just chuckled.
“I’m going to hold you to this, Harmony. I want to see Elpsis carrying off Tempest on the back of a Yazgid within the month or else it’s your ass on the line. Literally, probably!”

“So long as you’re willing to learn, that’s all I ask, Elpsis.”

Sadly, most of these lessons would probably corrupt the kiddies, so they instead switched to a more kid-friendly pursuit…shopping!

“So, let’s get you a new outfit, Elpsis. Something to impress your hot date. Got her size, Harmony?”

The maidens were exceptionally talented at judging a person’s size simply by looking at them for a moment or two.

 

[Elpsis Kerrigan]

[member="Tegaea Alcori"]


Elpsis would never admit this, but the image of her galloping off into the sunset with Tempest on the back of a Yazgid kind of appealed to her. She did have a rather corny side. Besides, it meant her auntie would have to get her a pet raptor!


Elpsis having one as a pet was a frightening thought. "Does that mean you'll get me a Yazgid if I'm a good girl and take all your lessons to heart?" she asked innocently. No, you'll also have to do household chores and clean your room. Elpsis was not a dirty person, but she was rather...disorganised. This tended to irritate Siobhan, who was a bit of a neat freak. "Ok. New outfit first. Something in leather? You know any good shops? I haven't been around much on the Skyport."


Harmony looked a bit amused and nodded. "You know I have her exact measurements, Mistress. She's a lovely size." And she hadn't even hit master rank yet. Everyone knew that for some reason masterhood made you...bigger in certain places.

 

[Tegaea Alcori]

[member="Elpsis Elaris"]
The newly named Elpsis Elaris would get a chuckle in return. “Ask [member="Galina Kerrigan-Alcori"] if you can borrow her Yazgid. It’s growing up really well. Doubtless Tempest will like a ride…and being carried on the Yazgid too!”

“Oh, I know the best shops. And then I have somewhere I want to take you where you can learn some important lessons.”
Said lessons sadly would not be kid-friendly.

“Harmony, be a dear and get me my bag,” Tegaea said. When the maid returned with a small, yet fashionable, bag, Tegaea led them back out and walked along to a turbolift.

“The place we’re going is run by some very good friends of mine, and we’re very loyal customers. If you see anything you like let me know, and I’ll try and accommodate you.”

Harmony tagged along because, why not? She put on slightly more clothes though, so as not to distress any kiddies.

And so Elpsis suddenly had a new surname. Kallikora sounded nice, but she'd never felt any attachment to her adoptive family. Besides [member="Coryth Elaris"] was the kindest mum of the month! In any case, Elpsis grinned brightly at the prospect of going shopping and learning educational lessons from her beloved auntie. Suffice to say Tegaea had acquired a devoted fangirl.


"Ok. Tegs. I'll be on my best behaviour." Well, Elpsis' manners were rather crude, but she'd try! "Thanks for all your help. I appreciate it." She quickly walked over to her boots and put them on. Harmony probably appreciated the view of the redhead's butt.


And so the three were off. The Skyport was a massive facility with multiple huge levels dedicated to all manners of distractions, from food and drink, to weapons and entertainment. Eventually they would reach a fine store called the Lady's Haven, which catered to a rather exclusive clientele. It was a clothing store that sold only the finest wares.

 

[Tegaea Alcori]

[member="Elpsis Elaris"]
“Oh no, my dear, I expect a little acting out. I don’t want someone who’s a total square with us, that’d just be so dull!” she said with a grin.

The Lady’s Haven was a store which could only exist in the Eldorai Matriarchy. It was at one and the same time a classy store which pedalled an upper class form of cultural imperialism…and at the same time sold some much less classy items.
It was a feature of the Eldorai culture that these two clashing ideas were not in fact a clash at all.

As they entered they were greeted by a very pretty Eldorai attendant and led to a special elevator to ascend to a special, private level.
“Welcome back, Mistress Alcori! That order hasn’t come in yet, but it will. Hello, Harmony. And who’s your new friend? A new pillar member possibly?” the Eldorai chatted happily.
“This is Elpsis. She’s the daughter of Lady Elaris, but she’s staying with us for now. I’m hoping to get her some new clothes and…well…show her the ropes.”
“And the chains and electrodes!” Harmony put in cheerily.
