Round 16

Halie's intervention creates a momentary pause in the negotiation dynamic. Silra glances at her friend with both appreciation and something like resignation—she knows Halie means well, but this kind of protectiveness can be... inconvenient when trying to maintain leverage in a delicate situation like this one.

Jeane's expression shifts subtly, a flicker of annoyance quickly masked by her usual seductive smile. She opens her mouth as if to speak, but stops herself, calculating the next move. Instead, she leans back slightly, giving Halie and Silra some space between them.

Silra, meanwhile, has picked up one of the toys from the bed—a sleek black dildo with intricate ridges—and is examining it with a clinical eye, turning it over in her hands as if weighing its practical applications rather than considering its intended use. "Physical loyalty," she muses aloud, more statement than question. "And what exactly does that entail? You want me available whenever you snap your fingers?" Her voice is dry, almost businesslike in its assessment of the proposed arrangement.

The room feels charged, tension humming between the three women. Hera remains silent in the corner, her intense gaze fixed on the proceedings—watching, waiting, perhaps for something specific to unfold.
