Shea: I suppose it's about time I headed out, no point waiting for Molag Bal's cryptic message, besides I promised I'd see Aria at some point, where did she say? Riften I think.

Shea: Soon, soon I'll be back and I'll be ready next time.

Shea: Not the right time though, I'm going to Riften and that's final. Hopefully I'll only come back here once.

Shea: Now should I take Aria some flowers? I don't know what she likes. I suppose I could get something for her wife too. 

Shea: Actually, Aria didn't seem much like a 'flowers and sweets' type of gal. I suppose my company will have to do.

A day later...

Shea: Riften, not very impressive. I was expecting somewhere more extravagant.

Shea: Well perhaps it's beautiful on the inside.

Guard: Hey! Before I let you into Riften, you're going to have to pay a visitor's tax.

Shea: What's the tax for?

Guard: For the privilege of entering the city, what does it matter?

Shea: It matters because it's clearly a shakedown to see how much gold I have. So now that I've seen through the petty lie, would you like to let me through?

Guard: Fine, I'll unlock the gate.

Shea: Thank you, dumb and dumber.

Shea: That looks like an inn, must be a hive of travellers in there.

Shea: Hey innkeeper! I'm looking for an Aria and Phoenix. You wouldn't know where I'd find them would you?

Keerava: Aria and Phoenix. It doesn't ring a bell. But some gold might grease the wheels.

Shea: Might it?

Shea: How about you give me that free of charge, so that I don't do something I'll regret?

Keerava: Fine. She lives in a manor on the east side of the city.

Keerava: Is that all?

Shea: That's all Keerava, thank you.

A few hours later...

Shea: This looks like the place, I think. I don't want to walk in on Haelga and Bolli in the middle of the act again.

Shea: Well this is relatively tame.

Shea: I was expecting an exotic creature on the wall, not a slaughterfish.

Shea: But I suppose Aria has to blend in...as well as she can.

Shea: But it's cosy, I'd gladly settle down here if I could.

Phoenix: {Humming}

Shea: Well, someone is in. But that's not Aria's voice. Similar but different in the slightest.

Shea: {Wolf whistle} That must be Phoenix. Damn she's hot.

Phoenix: Um...hello, can I help you?

Shea: I take it Aria never mentioned me. I'm Shea. The Exile among vampires.

Phoenix: Oh yes, she mentioned you might pop in.

Shea: Well now you know why I'm here.

Shea: And before you think I'm going to hurt her, she invited me.

Phoenix: I know, Ari wouldn't have told you the location of our home if she didn't trust you.

Phoenix: It's very nice to meet you Shea, I'm Phoenix.

Phoenix: I'm, of course, Ari's wife

Shea: Good to meet you.

Shea: So, how long have you been together? (I hope that it isn't eternity, or a long time.)

Phoenix: Oh quite a while. A few years.

Shea: You're lucky to have her, she's wonderful.

Phoenix: I know, she's just the best isn't she?

Shea: (I wish I was in her position, not like me having to be moving around all the time and not being homeless, and as it stands loveless.)

Shea: So what are you writing?

Phoenix: Oh it's a book I'm working on, it's about Aria

Shea: Mind if I have a read?

Phoenix: Oh of course feel free to give me some feedback, it's hard to write Ari when she's not around

Large amounts of reading ensues...

Shea: That was really enjoyable, its actually put me 'in the mood' but I'm sure you must always be 'in the mood.'

Shea: What with, both volumes of the Lusty Argonian Maid: Unabridged with Illustrations-

Shea: The bookcase full of more erotic writings I'm sure.

Shea: And the safe full of things, I'm sure I'd like to know about.

Phoenix: Oh um, well you see that's Ari's side of the bedroom and that's mine. But I guess some of the books are a little exotic.

Aria: Honey, I'm home!

Aria: Phoenix! I'm home, where are you babe?

Aria: Oh well hey there sex-

Aria: Shea? I didn't think you'd be here so fast.

Shea: What? Didn't think I'd make it out?

Aria: Well you did say "I'll be fine." but I had my doubts.

Phoenix: Oh now this sounds like a heck of a story, Shea you must tell me more, over dinner maybe?

Shea: Well, that sounds like a good idea.

An hour later...

Aria: That's quite the adventure.

Phoenix: Well, I've learnt something about vampire society now.

Shea: Well, for the record I didn't tell you that.

Shea: But it is the thing I've been living with for years

Shea: And I'm sure I'll survive it even longer.

Shea: So you might have to get used to me.

Phoenix: Well you don't seem too bad, for a vampire that is. I don't mind if she sticks around Aria, she's very honest and I like that.

Shea: Glad to hear, besides, I'm rather homeless right now.

Shea: But thank you, I haven't seen this sort of kindness since...I don't know when.

Aria: Oh come on, there's no need to thank us, especially with what you've been through.

Phoenix: Well you're always welcome here, we have a spare bedroom you could stay in, that's if you sleep?

Aria: I can have a um, what do you call them? Coffin? Yeah I can have a coffin put in if you like maybe in the basement if you're not up for sleeping in Tali's spare room?

Phoenix: Um sorry Shea, but it's getting late now, Ari and I would like to go to bed now.

Shea: You two want some alone time?

Shea: That's fine, I'll be in the other room, and for your information, I don't need a coffin, but thanks for the offer.

Shea: I'll see you both in the morning.

Shea: Well this room feels a little, empty.

This is necessary to read

(Loud moaning)

Shea: Why do they have to be so loud?

A few moments later...

Shea: Gods...just hearing them...is...(heavy breathing) Alluring.

Shea: I need...anyone...just someone's-

Shea: -Touch (Light moaning.)

Shea: Just one look...from her and I'm sure I'll...(Lustful moan)

Shea: Oh...please...(Whimpers)

Aria: Well, well, well what's going on in here?

Shea: Oh you weren't standing there the whole time were you?!

Aria: Long enough to see everything, now I'm glad she sent me to apologise for our noise. I can get so carried away with her especially when she's inn control of orgasms.

Shea: Well that explains the whimpering part, and the moaning.

Aria: Well as our guest it's my purpose to make sure you're feeling comfortable with your surroundings. You should also know Mistress Phoenix sent me to make sure you're satisfied

Shea: Come on then, don't just stand there.

Aria: Just like old times.

Aria: You of all people should know I'm a woman of action Shea, it's my purpose to serve.

An hour later...

Shea: Well you were certainly right about being a woman of action.

Aria: It is something I pride myself on.

Shea: I'm glad you still have that talent, very, very glad.

Aria: You're not bad yourself, though you feel a little different.

Shea: Times make you change, but lets not dwell on that.

Aria: {Kisses}

Shea: {Makes out}

Aria: You're far better than I remember you being.

Shea: Woahh! And you're far more dominant than I remember.

Aria: Let's just say I've been exploring my options, when you have a sexy red beast like her as a Mistress, you pick up on things. Now then you've always been on top, haven't you? Wanna try something different?

Shea: Fuck yeah, I like a change.

Aria: I think you'll find it rather interesting, I know I did

Both: {Loud moaning}

Shea: Thank you...that was...amazing!

Aria: You aren't so bad yourself Shea.

Aria: But we're not done yet my horny little vampire, I have to go soon, so lets make it extra fun.

Shea: Sounds very fun, and I think I've got the energy.

Some time later...

Shea: Oh I'm not likely to forget tonight.

Shea: I suppose I should try and get some sleep. Or rest at least. This might become a common occurrence.

Shea: {Snoring}
