Re: Jungle of Desire (Mind Flayer) GMed by ranger
After making sure June would be tended to and her needs met, Sera went on and followed the guards to Jolynn, where she found the matriarch sitting a a large table waiting for her. "Ah of course, thank you matriarch Jolynn, you're too kind," Sera replied as she took the seat offered by the other matriarch, bowing politely.
Sera watched as Jolynn clapped her hands and her servants brought forth the food. When asked about which wine she preferred, Sera smiled as she pointed to the red. "Red is and always has been my preference for some reason, it just tastes better to me, not sure why. And thank you dear," Sera replied about the wine, holding her glass as thee wine was poured into it where she gently sloshed it around and smelled it, savoring the smell of the drink as she looked back up at the offered meat, telling the serving girl thanks as she gestured for her to set the meat on her plate. Sera also grabbed a few other things from what had been brought out to them, grabbing some potatoes and onions if there were any, a bit of assorted fruits, as well as some other vegetables, trying to get a wide variety of a little bit of everything offered. "Heh, I hope they wouldn't be too jealous matriarch Jolynn. Might I ask why they were shunned for our meeting this evening?" Sera went on to say, giggling and asking why Jolynn's nobles weren't there.
As Jolynn answered Sera's question, the young angel would eat some of the food before being asked of the customs of her tribe, where Sera would pause for a few moments as she took a drink of wine to buy her a little time. "Well first of all you see my tribe is very far to the south of here, I mean it took me nearly fortnight to even fly this far, and since I couldn't fly the whole way once I met June, my lover, then that made travel a bit tougher than I would have liked, but it was a sacrifice I was willing to make. Our customs towards our mates or lovers, whichever you prefer to call them, are much different than the customs here though. We... treat them more like our equals, which is why I may have sounded a little harsh in my words to some of your guards earlier I suppose. Our reasons for it are that if we treat them well, then they are more willing to bear our children, they can think in battle better and are more flexible, and it makes them want to stay with us without us having to subjugate them in any way and worry about betrayal of any sort," Sera told Jolynn as they ate, explaining a bit of her nonexistent tribe's culture, so telling a little white lie of sorts. Though it wasn't a complete and total lie really, as if Sera was from a tribe such as this, then what she was telling Jolynn would more than likely be what her tribe's culture would be like, if she had anything to do with it that is. "My home has more than just me as their matriarch though. In fact we have several matriarchs, at least half a dozen or so spread out over a few villages, which is what keeps us strong, as we are all quite powerful in some way or another and each village supports the others and some of the younger women from each village go to the others to spread the bloodlines around with each generation, and of course we have men in our villages to breed with as well to keep the bloodlines strong, but the matriarchs are the leaders of the village of course and the women are in charge for the most part. Though we are always looking for allies when possible to increase the defenses of the jungles around our home more, especially since these... aliens that have attacked the northern areas of the jungles, to ensure they don't try and move south and take our homes from us. I am the youngest matriarch of my tribe by quite a few years, and you could call me being out and about like this a right of passage of a sort really, as I am searching for something along with more possible lovers and harem members along the way to increase my tribe's strength," Sera went on to say to Jolynn, the explanation of her fake tribe's way of life continuing on as the words just formed on her tongue while she spoke some more. Sera took a small break from talking after this though to take a drink of her wine and to eat some more while Jolynn took in what she'd said so far.
