Rosmira leads the group through a bright archway into Lust City’s endless night. Violet banners ripple above the avenue, celebrating Madam Cleara’s rescue, while music and warm lanternlight spill toward Soul Park.
Soul Park opens before them in a haze of glowing rides, drifting perfume, and laughing crowds. Bottles of bottled desire gleam beside food stalls piled with spiced pastries, sweet skewers, and sizzling street dishes.
Nayla Iko
That stall. I can smell roasted pepper, citrus, and something dangerously sweet.
Leon Wolfe
You said that about the last three stalls. We should start with something we can actually share.
Nayla and Leon drift toward the fragrant vendors together, playfully debating portions and flavors. Their easy pull toward one another draws amused glances from the nearby crowd.
Rosmira and Jews follow the park’s rose-lit path to the ticket booth. Behind its glass, passes shimmer for the carousel, mirror maze, tunnel of love, and games promising an evening of shared delight.
Eros
A celebration, a reunited circle, and several hearts still learning where they belong. How beautifully complicated. Which attraction will you choose first?
“Ros sneaks off a bit with NAyla for a women to women talk about leon and ther relationship”
SUCCESS (Great Agility, rolled -1)
Rosmira slips along the rose-lit path while the crowd’s laughter and music cover her movement. She draws Nayla away from the food stalls, toward a quiet overlook beside the carousel.
Nayla notices the change of route but follows without protest. Behind them, Leon remains occupied with the vendors, holding two plates and unaware of the private conversation beginning nearby.
Nayla Iko
A women-to-women talk, then. About Leon?
Nayla Iko
I know he matters to you. I can feel how carefully you keep the whole circle together, even when everyone else is pulling in a different direction.
The carousel turns below them, scattering warm reflections across Nayla’s face. She rests one hand on the railing and looks back toward Leon, her guardedness easing into candid concern.
Nayla Iko
My bond with him is real, but it does not make him mine to command. I want him to choose where he stands, and I want to know whether there is room for me beside the life you are building.
Nayla Iko
You brought me here instead of leaving me outside the circle. That tells me something. What do you need me to understand about Leon, and about you?
“Nayla i wont ask you to let leon go infact i guess ill tell you i had you and leon drugged at dinner the other night. I kinda forced you both to um make love for a whole day but it was for the bond and slightly maybe for my amusment.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Conversation, rolled +1)
Rosmira
Nayla, I will not ask you to let Leon go. I need to tell you the truth. You and Leon were drugged at dinner. I forced the bond between you, and I let it continue for a day. I did it for the bond, and partly because I found it amusing.
The admission settles between them more heavily than the carousel music. Rosmira does not soften it with an excuse.
Nayla Iko
You drugged us. You took our choice, then called the result a bond.
Nayla's hand leaves the railing. Below, the carousel keeps turning, bright horses rising and falling beneath the lanterns.
Nayla Iko
I can understand wanting Leon protected. I can even understand wanting us connected. But amusement does not make coercion harmless, Rosmira.
Nayla Iko
She told me before I had to discover it. That matters. It does not erase what she did.
Nayla Iko
If I remain beside you, it will be because I choose to now. No more hidden doses, no more deciding our bodies or bonds for us. Can you accept that without turning my choice into another promise you control?
The food stalls continue serving beneath the banners. Farther off, Leon's voice rises in easy laughter, still unaware of the confession. Rosmira and Cleara have both been checked, healed, and restored after the rescue, but this truth leaves a different kind of wound open.

“So nayla its just us i have to know honestly does it feel good being with leon and knowing Fanrir is back at in the mortal world waiting?! or maybe you want to add a succubus to your collection. Remember this little wolf im a thousand years old But im not sure i should add you to our circle yet.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Conversation, rolled +0)
Rosmira
So, Nayla, honestly, does being with Leon feel good while Fanrir waits in the mortal world? Or do you want to add a succubus to your collection? I am a thousand years old, little wolf, and I still am not sure I should add you to our circle.
Nayla studies Rosmira for a long moment. The carousel turns behind her, carrying laughter and lantern light through the pause.
Nayla Iko
Yes. Being with Leon feels good. Not because Fanrir is waiting, and not because you made some bond impossible to ignore. It feels good because Leon sees me as a person, and I can see him back.
Nayla Iko
Fanrir being out there hurts. It frightens me. But I will not use Leon as a refuge from him, and I will not return to Fanrir merely because fear makes the old path familiar.
Nayla Iko
As for your circle, I am not a prize for an ancient succubus, and I am not an ornament waiting for permission. If I join you, it will be because I want Rosmira, Jews, and Leon in my life as themselves.
Nayla Iko
So you understand me now. I want Leon, but I also want my choice. I want you to ask, not decide. And if you are asking whether I want you, the answer is yes, carefully.
Her guarded expression eases without surrendering its boundaries. Near the food stalls, Leon glances toward the overlook, waiting patiently with the cooling plates.
