Re: The Prison [Safe Haven]
After Emilia heard River mention something about an agreement, Emilia seemed to take a tone that suggested she was very worried, and she looked down to the ground, "... So... It's no wonder... I figured she'd send someone... But I didn't know it'd be..." she sighed, acting as if defeated, "It's no lie... Even though there are many women here, many of them are not willing to have sex with our kind... Earlier this morning, Amy approached me, and said that if I would provide her and her... "Allies" shelter, and resources from our prison... She'd provide us with willing women for..." As if she wasn't looking away enough, Emilia made sure River wasn't even in her peripheral vision, "I... Think you know..."
She then seemed to erupt with an emotion River never truly saw until now, anger, "But, God damn it! Human beings are not commodities! I refuse to have anything to do with that woman, who would sell me slaves!"
Emilia was breathing angrily, and her facial expression screamed of bloody murder as she looked up at River from where she was leaning against the edge of the counter at the spot near the dishes, "I know we'll eventually lose control of ourselves if our lust isn't satisfied, but so long as I can make decisions as a human being, I'll never give in, I'll never steal helpless women, and rape them in no way different from those monsters outside!" she said with conviction.
She then stopped leaning against the edge, and looked at River like a Queen about to go into battle, "And I don't care how she likes it! If she wants to kill us for what we have, so be it! If she shoots, we'll shoot back!" As she shouted this announcement, several of the obvious women who were the guards taking a break gave their own shout in support, still remaining loyal to her, even as she said they might die.
After shouting that, and calming down a little, Emilia sighed, "You helped me make my decision, River, and I thank you for it. I'll make a patrol that will escort the imprisoned women far enough, so that they can make it on their own to the Inn, without jeopardizing my own people's safety. That woman won't just walk over me, and treat me like a tool for her own gain. I won't allow it."
