Azazealyn turned to look at him, drawing her white hair over her shoulder as she regarded him. "This has nothing to do with me, Amaji, you have been granted leadership here and for this conquest. I have no leadership role, everything that you do should be done for you and what you want," she said firmly as violet eyes watched him.
Truthfully, others still came to her for advice and blessings, but now they revered Amaji more and few actually knew of their 'relationship' that they had. Most would assume that he had slept with her, if only to get his voice heard; seeing as such a thing was not uncommon in their society. Still others would assume that he came to her for council and to commune with Lloth. While other options were available, she was the closest to her goddess.

Amaji smiled a bit. “I know what I have been granted,” he told her. “I still will come to you for your thoughts and opinions. For your ideas. You were the one who talked about balance, well, I still need someone to level me out. It is bad enough that I already feel the power of my position. I need someone to smack me every once and a while and clear my thick head.”
The Black Maji sat up, observing Azazealyn. He moved over to lean against her back gently. His hands lightly moved over her shoulders and down her sides. |

The contact startled her slightly, but not enough to warrant a true reaction out of her. She knew that he often needed physical reassurance in what he did and because of his memories, but it was rare that he ever touched her outside of sex or training.
"Balance is essential," she conceded. "This is why you must be patient and wait for your additional soldiers and commands," she said as she let him move his hands over her. "Once you learn to level yourself out and thoroughly think things through, you will have no more of a need for me or any form of counterbalance."

“I will still have need for you, Azazealyn,” he said with a slight smile. “You know I will. I will not just throw you away once I get everything I need. You are like Talex in that respect. I could never just get rid of the two of you. You both mean so very much to me, and you know that. I could not just shove you away.”
Amaji sat back away from the drow, deciding to just lay back down beside her. “I may be able to find balance within myself, but companionship is very nice. I have already decided that I cannot trust anyone new. I may have soldiers who are loyal to me in the end, but I could never trust them. Why would I risk losing someone who I can trust?” |

"We all do foolish things, even if we mean to not do so," she said as she turned to regard him, already growing wary of the conversation and its direction. She may be valuable to him, but was he valuable to her? That was a question she needed to answer before it became too late.
Others knew that she was an unusual drow, preferring to stay by herself and only having select few companions, namely her spiders. To be a companion to the Black Maji could very well be something she would gamble her life upon, in the event that things did not go according to plan. "You will far outlive Talex or even myself, Amaji. You will have to find new companions at some point," she said.

Amaji let out a discontent sigh. “That is something I do not have to worry about at the moment, though,” he said to her. “I would rather not think of myself outliving either of you. So, I will wait to think about these new companions that I will have to find. I am quite content with my life how it is at the moment with you two in it.”
The Black Maji let out a sigh. “If anything, I will always have Rever. I will never be completely alone, I suppose.” His eyes drifted up to the ceiling as he thought. “You know, you should come with me the next time I visit the vampires.” |

"If that is what you wish," she said as she watched him, fingers reaching out to trail down his arm, as if to offer comfort for her words and the thoughts they had provoked in the mixed elf. "If you wish for me to accompany you as an adviser, I can do that," she said as she offered him a patient smile.
"Now hush and relax and do not think of plans or plots for the time being. It is time for relaxing and renewing strengths and energies, the high priestess said, her voice soothing and relaxing. Azazealyn knew better than any how dangerous it was to wield large amounts of power and have little control over it, whether it be from fatigue or emotional stress.

Amaji smiled a bit and nodded his head. “Yes, my mind needs quite a bit of rest so it would seem. Do you want me to leave your room and go back to mine? Either way I am alright with it as long as I get to sleep. All if matters on how you feel, really. If you want me to go, I shall.”
The mixed blood could deal with whatever Azazealyn wanted. He could sleep here and not have to worry about walking all the way back to his room, and he would have no problem with that. He trusted the drow enough to know that she would not harm him in his sleep. |

"It matters not to me," she said as she lay back down on the bed, getting comfortable. Her bed was large enough that several people could have slept in it without touching each other and only on rare occasions had they spent time sleeping in each other's rooms.
"If you wish to stay here, you are welcome to do such a thing, it all depends on if you wish to walk back and risk being attacked by one of the many who wish to sleep with you," she said as she turned to look at him, her eyes and voice full of teasing laughter.

“I think I will protect myself and just stay in here for the night,” Amaji said, giving a laugh of his own. “That is the problem with you drow living down in the Underdark. You have eyes for the dark, where I do not. They could all easily ambush me when I am walking through the dark to my room. I will simply just crowd you out of your bed tonight.”
The mixed elf relaxed against the bed, smile upon his face. “I am surprise they did not stalk me into your room. I am sure that would be a rather… interesting time.” |

"They fear me and have rightful respect for a high priestess," she said as she shook her head and relaxed down against her bed, shifting ever so slightly as she found a comfortable position. "And it is wise of them since if they entered without my permission they would be rather dead, and unfortunately it takes a lot of time to get the stench of a charred body out of my room," she said with a slight shrug and a small yawn, bringing a delicate hand up to cover her mouth.
They were mutually beneficial to each other, she supposed, and it would be folly for one to kill the other without reason, so she could trust him not to do her harm while she slept as well.

Amaji smiled, nodding his head slightly. He knew Azazealyn all too well. He relaxed himself into the bed even more. “Sleep well then, high priestess,” the Black Maji said, giving a yawn. He closed his eyes and made himself as completely comfortable as possible.
Amaji always had a bit of trouble falling asleep and waking. The darkness behind his eyes was never the greatest thing for him to see. The darkness only led to nightmares that he had slowly gotten use to, but still, restful sleep was rather hard. He had begun to take control over his memories, but it was his dreams that continued to cause him a bit of trouble. |

Azazealyn shifted, she could sense the unease and the unrest that was practically radiating off the Black Maji's body. She placed an arm around his waist, drawing him to her and providing physical comfort that would keep him from having too many nightmares.
It also provided her with a chance to get true rest since he wouldn't keep waking her from all the shifting he would do and how uneasy he was when asleep. The high priestess fell back into her dreamless sleep, the kind that she much preferred over having any sorts of dreams unless Lloth deemed that she was to commune through dreams.

Amaji relaxed against Azazealyn. Her touch was rather comforting to him, and he was able to settle down. His thoughts slowed and whatever tension had been in his body disappeared. He knew he would sleep better with the drow up against him. She was the touch of reality that he needed to calm and relax into sleep.
The Black Maji was soon sleeping deeply. His dreams would still come this night, but they would be less severe with the touch he felt from the priestess. When he battled his dreams alone, it felt as though he always lost. |

Azazealyn stayed motionless against him, letting her touch and the soothing aura that always seemed to surround her do what words could not. He would always dream, she knew, but with touch it was less severe than if he were alone.
She shifted only slightly, to get more comfortable and brought their bodies into closer contact, as if she were cradling his larger form against hers. The high priestess had no qualms about doing this, no matter how tender or gentle someone may have mistaken it for, all the scene was was a matter of alliance, nothing more between them.
