Snippet #2484878

It was getting a little creepy now… the woman was still smiling. Mataiya wasn’t sure how long it had been, but she knew without a doubt that The Madame was still smiling the exact same way she had been since ‘Taiya sat down. Glad for the distraction of when the tea came, she first blew on it before taking a few polite sips. It was absolutely divine and it was all she could do to keep from dumping the piping hot liquid down her throat. Scolding herself wasn’t high on her list of things to do, ever, so the redhead just kept gently sipping the tea. Shifting her attention towards the still grinning woman, Mataiya listened to the terms that were being presented to her. It certainly seemed fair enough to have to go through a trial, but if they thought she would allow them to kill her if she failed, then they had another thing coming.

Finishing off her tea, she sat the cup to the side, shifting her legs to keep the limbs from falling asleep. That was something that always seemed to happen to her at the most inopportune time. Her hands refolded in her lap and she was finally comfortable with the way she was still smiling and figured that was her game face and that if she passed the trials, she would see the real face of the Madame. Who knew what that would be like, but hopefully she would find out.

“I accept your terms and am ready to begin immediately.” There was nothing like an initiation to really get one’s blood moving.
