**Lisha**

** Late at night **
>"Sscuse me!" called Daltem. "Can you help me, *hic* I sheem to 'ave losht   
>my room."

Lisha looked up, taken slightly aback at being spoken to when she didn't
realize anyone else was about.

>"Oh - Daltem, what a surprise!" laughed a startled Lisha.

She hadn't expected to run into anyone at this time of night, she had just
been wandering, restless due to unfulfilled sexual energy. She didn't know
what had drawn her to this part of the warren. She really hadn't expected
to run into anyone, least of all the handsome Lord Daltem.

>"Uhmmm Lisha isn't it?" said Daltem trying his best to focus on Lisha.

Gods, the man was sloshed! Whatever could have happened to bring him to
this state? He sure didn't seem the type.

>"Of course I can help you back to your room, your're a bit out of your   
>way here."

Lisha studied him with a raised eyebrow. Her mind considered all the
possibilities that walking the handsome nobleman back to his apartment
might bring and she smiled to herself.

>"Erm yes I whash walking *hic* Cali back to her room, after 'aving a   
>little night-cap." explained Daltem.

"I see," Lisha replied her lips curving in a sly smile. "Well, shall we?"
she asked politely putting her hand through his arm, more to guide him than
anything else. She knew the way, she'd been the one to show him his
quarters earlier that day.

** Lord Daltem's Apartment **

He sat down on the bed and patted next to him for her to sit down, "Come,
let'sh talk."

It wouldn't be polite to refuse, Lisha thought as she sat down next to the
young nobleman.

He looked into her eyes. "Ssso pr... pretty!" he said, the words coming out
thickly. He ran her hands through her hair releasing the ribbon that held
it back as he did so. 

The physical contact felt so good. She wanted him badly. But she wasn't
sure if she wanted him this way again, like so many others had had her
before. What she really wanted was for him to be sober and giving her these
attentions.

But the touch of his hands on her hair felt so wonderful and her loins
burned so much with desire that a slight moan escaped her lips. Suddenly he
placed his hands on the side of her head and guided him toward her for a kiss.

His breath reeked of alcohol, but his soft lips were so inviting. Lisha
couldn't help but return the kiss. He kissed her deeply, and his hands
wandered her body.

They parted lips and he looked at her with desire, "Why don't you go make
yourself a *hic* a drink and make yourself at home," he invited.

She rose from the bed and went into the small kitchen area to make herself
a drink. She made it strong, if it was strong she wouldn't feel so guilty,
she could say it was the alcohol.

As Lisha reentered the main chamber, a loud grating snore filled her ears.
She sighed as she realized that the young Lord Daltem was sprawled back on
the bed, his feet still on the ground.

She couldn't leave him like that, it wasn't dignified. So Lisha knelt down
and took off the boots, undressed him, and put him the rest of the way on
the bed and placed the covers over him. She then took the clothes and laid
them on top of the dresser before leaving.

As Lisha walked home, she felt an odd mixture of relief and disappointment.
While she still had no release for her pent up passion, she at least this
wasn't another one of those times she'd been had by an inebriated nobleman
who only wanted her because she was female, not because she was Lisha.

NRPG: James, you didn't give me a clue how far you wanted to go with Lisha
so I figured this was a good compromise. If you want anything to... um...
develop between your Lord Daltem and Lisha in the future let me know. ;>
Hope you like how I handled this.

BTW, I believe in WR as in most warrens all the apartments, dining hall,
med center, offices, etc, are carved into caves in the mountains of the
area, I believe. There are no buildings as we know it. Kat, please correct
me if I am wrong on this or elaborate if necessary.

Everyone, I will write Xanthia again as after I have received Arlene's
response to my first Xanthia post.

Arlene, I am eager to see what Merissa's reaction to Xanthia is. ;)
