Re: Nala (Blueslime) GMed by xivvix
Nala had opened her mouth to respond to Violet's request to go home, but could see out of the corner of her eye that the riot was making its way quickly back to her. Oh well. There would be time to address the girl's dazed concerns later.
She allowed herself an indulgent smile as the victorious goblin skidded to a halt with his foul smelling prize. Presented so close to her, she wrinkled her nose.
"He smells almost as bad in death as he no doubt did in life!" she said, so that all the goblins could hear, then she held up her hand to settle them. "I see I have a quick and cunning servant," she continued, praising the goblin holding the decapitated head. "I admire successful tools that accomplish what I set them out to do. And I am disappointed to see that this contest I set before you all ended so quickly. I am only able to assume one of two possibilities then... either the majority of you are weak, incompetent fools who were not properly motivated or able to be the one to bring me this prize, or that this specimen here -" she pointed to the prize-bearing goblin, "Is so far superior to the lot of you that he renders you all impotent by comparison. Hmmm? Which is it?"
She glared disapprovingly of the crowd who had failed to fight more fanatically to get the ex-boss' head. "Since the first option would force me to cull several of you indiscriminately for your lack of vigor and general stench of failure, I shall instead choose to believe the second option - that this one is much more suited to leadership, praise, and the private, tender care of my body... His gain, and your loss - but be thankful I make no examples of you this time. Do not force me to teach that lesson - failure will not be tolerated!"
She turned her glower to the goblin in front of her, who was doubtlessly getting more than a few ill-looks from his colleagues by this point. She smiled approvingly at him. "Favored servant, you shall tell me your name. Then you shall give your first orders as my new lieutenant, to have this dead pig's head put on a stake and set at the edge of this glade as a warning and a reminder of what has happened here. You are answerable only to me, and you may give orders to any other of these servants, excepting Grabik, who is to be my personal 'daggerman' assistant. Failure to obey me is still death, but I shall look very angrily upon any who would disobey you without just cause. Now issue your orders quickly."
She let the goblin lieutenant bark his orders to a few goblins, noting carefully the demons he singled out to do his first task of drudgery. They would probably be his natural rivals, and she might need to cultivate them later. Once he was done with that, she spoke again.
"Now, there is something else that needs immediate remedy: you and your men stink. I will not tolerate common filth and stench. I keep my tools clean. I order you all to bathe. I am deadly serious about this. Later on, I will be having you all standing together. If I find that one of you has an odor that offends me, I will kill you and the two goblins standing next to you, for their failure in not recognizing that you are not washed properly. This is a task for you to oversee, lieutenant. When it is done, you will have what I have promised you..."
Here she let her fingers run caress the side of the lieutenant's face, and as she let them drop lower she stooped down to his eye level and brought her lips dangerously close to his own. Tantalizingly close to him, she whispered "I will be expecting my lieutenant to keep me properly warmed tonight... I may even require you to be a little rough with me. I would expect nothing less from a favored officer, and I have wanton desires of my own that will need intense satisfying."
She smiled cooly and then patted his cheek one more time before standing up again and raising her voice to be heard by all.
"Accomplish this task well enough, and I am thinking a revelry will be in order tonight... you all should enjoy that. If I'm put in a really good mood, I might even be a... main attraction?" she left an audible question mark hang on the end of that sentence. "It all depends on you, my servants. Now... be about your task. I must inform the captives of their new mistress. You there, Violet, you will accompany me to the house... on your hands and knees..."
She said this last order with a smile and a wink at the other goblins, then gave the girl a serious expression and a stare that conveyed she wasn't joking. She would stroll slowly beside Violet as she crawled with her back to the house. The goblins would hopefully have to travel a while to get to a stream, and the task of everyone bathing and making sure everyone else was bathed sufficiently should take quite some time for these goblins. Enough time that she could, if she wished, free the girls and possibly extract herself from this situation.
Upon entering the house, and finally out of the view of any goblins, she would immediately address Violet.
"You can stand up now. That was done mostly for appearance's sake. I can't be seen as being nice to you in front of them. Though I must say, you looked rather good down there.~" She appraised Violet's body with her eyes and a tilted head. The walking of a "doggy" reminded her of a particularly playful session with two elven acolytes, one male and one female, that she had 'freed' from religion-enforced chasteness. The two had both enjoyed the interaction and eventually ran off together in a happy relationship. Mother had been so angry...
