Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.

Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

Noticing Liz’ state of apparent consciousness, a faint sort of almost matronly smile makes it's way onto Naoki’s face. It’s rather amusing, she thinks, how a bit of restful sleep has taken Liz from shuddering moans of lust to 'good evening'. And, furthermore, it’s rather cute, how she continues to use semi-formal address in a situation such as this, which stopped being any sort of formal several hours ago.
“Good evening, Liz. How are you feeling? Better, I hope. Else I’ll have to try again.”
With this, Naoki’s hand strays downward, from Liz’ head to her chest for a gentle pinch. The book-hand moves off to the other side, to rest the book face-down on the sofa.

Age: 29
Physical Description: Elizabeth, or Liz, stands at about 5'9", weighing in at about 160lbs, most of it muscle from years of riding and fighting. She has platinum blonde hair, usually tied in a ponytail to fit inside her helmet. Her eyes are a vibrant shade of green that contrasts well with her tanned skin. She would be considered attractive if she ever removed her armor, otherwise her face is the only indication that underneath the iron discipline and plate armor is an attractive woman.
Clothes and Equipment: Liz wears a normal looking set of plate armor that is custom fitted for her specifically, and does not hide her gender. She wields a lance when mounted. Javelins are carried in her mounts saddle. Her mount is a young Griffin by the name of St. George, he is full grown in height, but does not yet have the full mass of a adult griffin. She wears plain clothes when not in armor and her shield bears the symbol of the Dawn Riders on it, and her breastplate bears the symbol of Isra on it. She wears a small necklace with a purple gemstone on it underneath her breastplate, only visible when she she is unarmored. Her sword has the insignia of the midnight sun engraved in the hilt, as it is relatively out of sight and does not violate the military dress code. Her primary weapon is her sword, an ancient Elven artifact passed down by her bloodline. It is wreathed in green lightning when unsheathed and wielded by her, and she has a sunmetal shield that complements it with magical abilities of its own.

"To be perfectly honest...I don't think I have ever felt this good in my entire life. Of course, I have never had anyone else do that...the few times I felt a strong need it was...er...self-administered. No one has ever done anything like that with me before, to be honest I think I tend to scare people a bit."
She bit her lip a little as Naoki pinched her, before sitting up and rotating around such that she was sitting up on the couch next to Naoki. She stretched wide and arched her back, a contented sigh escaping her lips as she did so. She felt incredible...maybe she should try and figure out the whole relationship thing again.
"So....um...like I said never done this before, and I know that normally that this a....two-way street I guess, so I am sorry for falling asleep..."
She was trying, and was now fully awake, but her lack of any knowledge regarding intimacy was clearly reflecting in her voice and in her motions, one hand sort of awkwardly twirled her hair, which must have come out of its ponytail while she was sleeping. The hand next to Naoki just laid by Liz's side without purpose. She was also really really thirsty, who new that such amorous activity could be so dehydrating.

“Good. You needed that- both parts of it. There was a lot of pent up tension and frustration in you, and it was my pleasure to release it. Though, not as much as I’m sure it was yours, judging by the way you moaned.”
With a sultry sort of smirk, Naoki’s right hand finds its way up over Liz’ thigh and beyond, intending to elicit another one of those moans. There it remains as she continues, lightly teasing.
“As for falling asleep, don’t worry about it. I intentionally drove you to unconsciousness, and you slept well. I’m still not sure if you’re cuter when you moan or when you sleep, though.”
Withdrawing her hand, Naoki takes a moment to suck her fingertips clean, maintaining eye contact as she does so. Afterward, she withdraws slightly, and drops her smirk for a more sedate sort of half-smile, crossing her arms under her chest. Her tone also shifts, from the sensuous murmur to the somewhat more reserved, more respectful intonation.
“Now, let me ask you this, in all seriousness. I would request an honest answer, so take your time. What do you want?”

Her mind, much more able now that she had gotten rest, was able to suppress the moan, but it would be easily visible in Liz's eye and body movements. Naoki's comment about when she thought Liz was cuter brought a fresh wave of red to Liz's face.
"What do I want..."
That was indeed a good question. Given the rather intimate nature of the environment, Liz was fairly certain tht Naoki was not referring to military concerns, or any sort of offical concern. Liz stopped twirling her hair and instead scratched the top of her head thoughtfully for a moment before responding.
"I...don't know what I want. Until recently I hadn't paid much attention to this part of my life...which I think now was a mistake. But I still don't know what I want, at least on a personal level. Professionally I know exactly what I want but personally...I don't know. The only thing that brought me happiness outside of work, and even this is work-related, was knowing that a successful mission made you proud of me, and that made me happy...nobody has ever cared about me like you always have. So I guess, what do you want?"

Naoki nods thoughtfully. She didn’t quite expect Liz to have a particularly excellent response prepared, but she also didn’t quite expect the question to be turned around on her like that.
“Well, first, let me say this plainly, since you don’t seem to have picked up on it.” Turning to face Liz directly, Naoki continues with every bit of plain speech and sincerity she can muster.
“I care about you, Liz. When we first met, my relationship with you was purely business. You were my in to Isra’s military. You gave me eyes, ears, and in some cases, a hand within the military of Isra. You provided information I didn’t have. But as time has passed, circumstances have changed, and we’ve both matured and moved up the metaphorical ladder, how I’ve considered you has changed. It’s… it’s not particularly easy to vocalise, but I’m proud of you. I’m not clear on the reasons why, though I suspect that it may be some product of your childhood, but you’ve really applied yourself in a way that few people really do. You have pushed yourself to the very limit; you have drive and determination like few do, and that’s something I find admirable, having had the opportunity to watch and facilitate your ascent.”
“Also: your butt. I like your butt. And the way that you’re muscled and well toned, but offer no resistance as I explore your body. And the way you moan, and the way you blush when you’re embarrassed, and the dichotomy between how you’re always so serious, so stony and whatnot most of the time, but like putty in my hands, so sensitive, and receptive to each and every touch. I’ve found a new side of you that I doubt anyone really suspected you had, and simply thinking about that, I’m finding, is a big turn-on.”
Almost unconsciously, Naoki’s tail finds its way up between her legs, where it begins to stroke idly. She doesn’t mention it, or acknowledge it in any way, but yet, there it is, getting more and more matted with each passing second.
“What’s less admirable is how you’ve neglected yourself, and your needs as a person, but we’re working on that. As for what I’d like…”
Leaning back, Naoki looks up toward the ceiling as she contemplates her response. This isn’t the first time she’s been asked this question, she muses. And her answer has changed.
“It’s a bit of a question, that one, I’ll be the first to admit. But the first thing that comes to mind is more hours in the day. I’d like more time to do all of the things I’d like to do. I have too many people I’d like to spend time with, and too many responsibilities, and not enough time in each day to do everything I want to. My thought patterns are becoming increasingly related to schedules and time allocation. Like, after you fell into your peaceful slumber, I considered leaving you with a note. In the hours you were asleep, I could have been doing any number of things besides providing my thighs as your pillows. I decided not to, considering the impression that would give, and how important this conversation is in my eyes, but the fact that I considered it seriously… I don’t like it. Even with the reduced workload I’ve engineered by delegating so much to Ryden and The Conclave, even with the ability to communicate telepathically with the majority of my closest associates, I still don’t have enough time to do everything I’d like to, fulfill my responsibilities to my best capacity, and take time to myself.”
“It’s irritating. Foreseeable, but irritating, in that there isn’t much I can do about it. So I’d like more time, on a day to day basis, to do what I’d like to. Or the ability to be in multiple places at once, accomplishing multiple tasks simultaneously. Or some equivalent. I’m not sure. I’d just like to stop having this problem, really.”

Liz's face was as red as it could possibly get as she listened to Naoki's response. She had no idea that someone could find her so attractive, and a smile crept across her face as Naoki said how proud she was of Liz. Her eyes followed the progress of Naoki's tail as it skirted between her legs, then her eyes slowly traced their way up Naoki's body, following each curve with appreciation before coming to rest at Naoki's own, beautiful eyes.
"Thank...er...thank you for that. Words can not express how much it means to me to hear that from you."
She paused as she listened to Naoki's answer to her question. A thought struck her just then and a single finger began tracing a random pattern along Naoki's thigh.
"And yet you made the time for me. Who takes care of your stresses when you have so little time just to manage your responsibilities. I am not...very experienced in these things, but since you have chosen to spend so much time with me, I feel the very least I could do is help you get rid of some of your stress..."

Naoki shrugs, “There are a small handful of individuals who assist me with such things. Foremost among them being my dear Kate, Artemis- who you’ve met. Between regular sauna sessions, Artemis’ skill as a masseur- she far surpasses me, and regular intimacy sessions, I like to think that I’m doing quite a good job of managing my stress, really. You shouldn’t feel obligated to repay me.”
Naoki’s gaze makes its way down to Liz’ finger, idly tracing its way around on her thigh. She hadn’t been speaking in jest when she said that she found Liz and her behavior to be arousing. This single finger isn’t enough to elicit any manner of reaction, but…
“However… if you’re offering… be my guest.”
Turning half to one side, Naoki flashes a lascivious sort of smirk, and waits to see exactly what Liz means by that.

She looked slightly crestfallen as Naoki spoke, but then he mr face brightened as Naoki accepted her offer.
"I guess, I don't know. I feel like earlier was very one-sded because I was so tired. I am not very certain what to do, but I know I would like...to participate this time. I am a bit more awake, but if I take the lead we will be here forever."
A bit of self-deprecating humor perhaos, but that doesn't mean it isn't true. The pattern her finger was drawing slowly moved up and in on Naoki's thigh,though Liz was rapidly reaching the extent of her knowledge in what to do.

Naoki chuckles a bit as Liz continues, still watching her finger trail down between her thighs. “Fair enough. I’m willing to teach you a thing or two about intimacy. Or twenty. You’re going to need to bathe after this, though.”
Moving to lie on her back, head propped up with some pillows, Naoki proceeds over the next couple of hours to coach Liz in the basics of the arts amorous and intimate. Having shared her expertise in this manner a few times before, at this point, Naoki pleasantly finds that Liz is a quick study. By the time they’re finished, a trip to the bath is absolutely necessary. One decidedly steamy bath later, the pair finally find themselves back on the couch yet again, having found two more of those robes to cover themselves in.

After the massage, the nap, her "lessons", and then a bath, Liz was feeling quite refreshed. Even after the strenuous activities she had undoubtedly partaken in just before the bath, she showed no sign of exhaustion, just a beaming smile and a look of determination that would have frightened her staff had they seen it. It was well into the night now, but Liz had no intention of sleeping after that. Perhaps she would go for a ride when Naoki was done with her.
"That was incredible...thank you. I had no idea that there was so much to...experience in that regard."
The awkward silence after her words would stretch on until Naoki said something, Liz was unsure of what was next, but judging by how they had sat back down and donned robes, their meeting was not over quite yet.

The silence only lasts a moment before Naoki breaks into a chuckle.
“Heh. It was my pleasure, but you have no idea. I haven’t even exhausted the limits of what I can do without tools or assistance. Next week, we’ll go further. Deeper.”
Liz is treated to just one more predatory smirk before Naoki relaxes back into the chair and adjusts her demeanor to better tackle the matter ahead.
“But that’s quite enough of that for now. You’re getting a bit raw, anyway. Come sit with me.”
Patting the section of couch just next to her, Naok invites Liz in for the follow up snuggle. After allowing her to get settled however she pleases, Naoki continues, having banished the salacious undertone from her voice for a more comforting, almost matronly inflection.
“There is one more thing I’d like to speak with you about tonight. I’ll begin this with a question, which I have asked once before, but I’d like to hear if your response has changed. Liz, what do you know of your genetic family, and the situation regarding your early life?”

Next week? Hopefully it was in the morning, with her whole legion back from their furloughs, she certainly would not have time to spend...what was rapidly approaching somewhere between eight and ten hours, doing that.
She snuggled up next to Naoki, putting her left arm around the smaller cat-woman and smiling at her. Naoki's words hit her with what felt like a sack of bricks, her early life was not something she enjoyed talking about.
"I know that my surname is my actual family name, but in spite of my best efforts I have thus far been unable to locate anyone with the Finch last name. My mother died in childbirth with me, and I was raised in an orphanage for several years. It was they who gave me what little information I have, and told me that my mother refused to disclose who my father is."
When they had last spoken of it, her voice had contained anger, though what she was angry about had been unclear. Now her voice had a seeming absence of emotion. She had given up the search for any hints of her family a year ago, and focused even more effort on her career.

Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

Naoki nods. The same content, but less anger. That’s… good, she supposes. After only a moment, she continues, “I have more information. Quite a lot of information, actually. But I’ll not burden you with it if you’d prefer to leave your past where it is- in the past. You’re in the best spot you’ve ever been in, and there’s not any particular need to be chasing your past around. However, it would also be wrong of me to know this information and not offer to share it with you.”
“So. As much as it pains me to, I offer you the choice. The option. I’ll tell you what I know if you’d like to hear it, but it may hurt. I won’t hold it against you either way, and even if you’d prefer not to hear now, it isn’t as if I’m going to forget.”

Age: 29
Physical Description: Elizabeth, or Liz, stands at about 5'9", weighing in at about 160lbs, most of it muscle from years of riding and fighting. She has platinum blonde hair, usually tied in a ponytail to fit inside her helmet. Her eyes are a vibrant shade of green that contrasts well with her tanned skin. She would be considered attractive if she ever removed her armor, otherwise her face is the only indication that underneath the iron discipline and plate armor is an attractive woman.
Clothes and Equipment: Liz wears a normal looking set of plate armor that is custom fitted for her specifically, and does not hide her gender. She wields a lance when mounted. Javelins are carried in her mounts saddle. Her mount is a young Griffin by the name of St. George, he is full grown in height, but does not yet have the full mass of a adult griffin. She wears plain clothes when not in armor and her shield bears the symbol of the Dawn Riders on it, and her breastplate bears the symbol of Isra on it. She wears a small necklace with a purple gemstone on it underneath her breastplate, only visible when she she is unarmored. Her sword has the insignia of the midnight sun engraved in the hilt, as it is relatively out of sight and does not violate the military dress code. Her primary weapon is her sword, an ancient Elven artifact passed down by her bloodline. It is wreathed in green lightning when unsheathed and wielded by her, and she has a sunmetal shield that complements it with magical abilities of its own.

Liz sat there, stunned for a moment as she tried to process what it was that Naoki was saying to her. She knew about Liz's family? How long had she known...no, Naoki wouldn't keep it from her for that long, she knew how much it meant to Liz. And now...at least some of the information she had spent so long chasing was in her grasp, but did she really want to know? A part of her said no, but if she didn't find out now she may never know.
"I would like to know what you know about my family Lady Naoki. I do not shy away from something just because it may hurt. I think I can take it."
She had tried to keep her voice steady, yet there was still a slight quiver of emotion in at as she spoke, but the resolve was there, she did want to know this.

“Fair enough. You can stop with the formal address though, Liz. This isn’t a formal meeting, and hasn’t been for a long time.”
“Last week, last Tuesday, I received a visitor. “He seemed to be in his fifties. Tall man. About a half-foot taller than you and I. Kind of scraggly. Bearded, with little braids in it. Blackish, grayish hair. A hard sort of man. One who can act as if they’re noble and chivalrous and all that, but isn’t- really. He identified himself as Sir Eli Finch, and claimed that you are his daughter.”
Here, Naoki stops. Even though she hasn't said much volumetrically, what she said is a lot to take. Best to pause here and allow Liz to consider that, she figures.

Liz sat there stunned as she listened to what Naoki had told just told her, replaying the words in her mind several times, trying to make sense of the words. She understood the literal meaning behind them of course, but the implication was almost too much. She knew her father could possibly still be alive, her mother had died in childbirth, long after her father would have left. That he was a bit of a scoundrel came as no surprise to her, he had left her mother.
"I...uh, well, to be honest...I don't really know how to react to that La...er...Naoki. I had always figured him to be alive, but just that he didn't know I existed. Why did he come to you? If he knew I was here why didn't he come talk to me?"
A bit of anger crept into her voice at the last, and she barely restrained herself from slamming her fist into the table.

“You were out saving the world, remember? He said something along the lines of, “If she knew I existed she would likely hate me, so I wish to spare her that.””
Naoki’s impression of Eli is very nearly spot on. She cannot quite replicate the depth or roughness of his tone, but her impression is otherwise perfect.
“However, I’m not about to keep something like that from you, even at his request. That’s the sort of thing you should have the opportunity to know. So I’ve told you. He left me something to give to you, but before I do, do you have any thoughts? Would you like me to tell you more about him? Would you like to talk about it?...”
Naoki trails off, unsure.

"I have lots of thoughts about this, but they are....difficult to decipher. I want to know more, but at the same time I want to not care about him, just like he did not care about me for all these years. I want to know why...no I don't, better to have grown up in an orphanage then with a man who would abandon his only daughter."
She was internally torn, wanting to know more about what family she had left but wanting nothing to do with the only man who fit that category. And what could he possibly want to give her? She doubted it would make up for his abandonment of her mother all those years ago.

“Well. Keep in mind the following. Simply knowing about or… remembering something doesn’t mean you have to care about it. Doesn’t mean you have to let it play a role or have a say in who you are today. You’re a woman, Liz. One who was earned everything she has, and is the sole architect of her own fate. Make your own choices, and remember that you’ll have my support, whatever they may be.”
A quick shoulder-squeeze punctuates that last statement. The relationship between the two is strange and multifaceted, and Naoki struggles to apply a term to it, but it seems to be one in which Naoki offers emotional support to Liz, and she’s perfectly fine with playing that role.
“With that said, let me show you this...”
Disengaging herself, Naoki rises from the seat, and climbs up out of the seating area as a whole. With silent steps, she moves out of sight behind one of the room’s curtains.
For a few moments, she remains there, leaving Liz with her thoughts. However, soon enough, Naoki’s figure makes its way back into the room, holding something covered in cloth whose shape mean that it could only be a sword. (Either that or a toy of some manner, but it’s a sword.)
Carefully seating herself on the edge of the seating area, Naoki offers the covered object to Liz, withholding all further explanation. It ought to be interesting to see her initial reaction without any context, and what about the sword she will be able to figure out herself, Naoki figures.

Liz pondered Naoki's words as she walked away to fetch whatever item needed fetching. She now knew she had a father who was still alive, but that didn't change the fact that he had abandoned her, so he was still a father only because he was biologically responsible for who she was, but he hadn't raised her. If he was trying to make amends because he was getting on in years he would have to try a lot harder than visiting her boss.
Liz watches, a bit confused as to what was happening next, she hoped to the gods that she was not supposed to put this particular...oh, it was a sword. It was supposed to be put into people's bodies, albeit in a wildly different fashion. Regardless of the type of object, she was grateful that it was not supposed to be going inside her.
She unwrapped the cloth from around the sword, leaving it displayed in her lap and just staring at it. The moment the cloth came undone, the gems in the sword's hilt began to gleam, and the hilt of the sword shrank to accommodate Liz's smaller hand.
"Where did you get this? I have never...felt so drawn to an object in my life. Like it has always belonged to me, and I assume it wasn't shining before was it?"
She was smart enough to realize that given the previous conversation, the sword had come from her father, but where had he gotten it from? She stayed staring at it as she waited for Naoki to answer, itching to grab it but wanting to hear its origin first.
