Re: The Art of War(Melbara/Shrike7 & Eliza/xgkf)
Eliza squeaked in surprise as Helena suddenly pulled her to her feet, blushing again as the other woman briefly grabbed her butt before letting go again. She then sheepishly glanced back-and-forth between her and Mel again as she considered Helena’s words, feeling more amazed by this game little by little as they played it. It was a game after all, and you’re supposed to have fun with games...
“I...I guess it couldn’t hurt...” Liz replied to Helena, calming down a little bit. “But...” she added quickly, “...I don’t...I don’t want you to talk to me in my head anymore...or to be messing with my thoughts. As harmless as you’re intentions may have been, it’s...it’s not a very comfortable feeling to know that you can just enter my mind like that.” she said, explaining her feelings as kindly and simply as she could. “And...I don’t think very many others in the camp would appreciate such intrusions if they knew about them, either.”
“Mel and I are responsibility for you while you’re among the company, after all,” Liz added, the soldier in her coming out slightly as she thought back to their debriefing with he sergeant. “So...if you were to do something that arouses suspicion or causes any trouble for the rest of us, then we’re in trouble too because we’re the ones who brought you into camp...” she explained, hoping that Helena understood the risk they were taking by having her in camp, especially now that these apparent telepathic powers of hers had been made known.
Eliza looked over to her partner then to see if she had anything to add, before returning her gaze to Helena to await her response, looking at the other woman with eyes that said that she was willing to lighten up and have a little fun, but that also showed a genuine concern for the well-being of herself, Mel, and the rest of her companions.
