Isran the Great

Elysi missed Isran. She would not say that thought out loud near anyone she knew Isran included, but it was the truth. She hadn’t spoken to the taller woman for almost a day, she had been disappointed to see her sleeping when she was done with work and again when she woke up to start work. But she barely knew the woman, it was a bit weird how much she was thinking about her.

“That was amazing.”

Elysi blinked, she had been so lost in thought she had almost forgotten about her client.

The wolfkin was panting lightly, her furry body was covered in sweat and her ears twitched lightly.

Elysi smiled at her. “I’m glad. If you’ll excuse me.”

“Yeah... yeah.”

Elysi might have spawned Isran into existence from thinking about her so much. Her day was finally over, she had made her quota for the day and with how many clients she had attended to she was sure it was very late, but she could see the sun behind Isran, and Morgana.

“Morgana?”

The cursed knight smiled softly at Elysi. “I was a bit surprised that my new student lived in a whore house, and then I bumped into Adrianna and thought she had kidnapped her.”

Elysi couldn’t help but laugh. “She doesn’t do that anymore.”

Morgana looks unconvinced. Isran looked uncomfortable, Elysi had noticed the taller woman didn’t like crowds or awkward situations. She did open up to her better when they were in the dungeon, hell, they had fucked in the dungeon. But she guessed Isran was dealing with different people in different ways.

“Ah... I was going to introduce you both but...”

Morgana patted Isran's arm lighting. “Don’t stress over it. Same time tomorrow... huh I don’t know your name.”

The three women blinked.

“Ah right... it’s Isran.”

Morgana nodded. “Great, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Elysi turned to Isran as the knight walked away, her armor clanking softly.

“I didn’t know you were still working...”

“Oh..” Elysi blushed, covering a little more of her exposed breasts. “I’m actually done for the day.”

It hurt Elysi’s heart to see how wide Isran smiled at the news.

“I wanted to talk to you about some stuff... I also got food.” She lifted a large brown paper bag. “No meat this time.”

Elysi smiled and walked them towards their room. Their room? That was a very dangerous thought process.

The veggie wraps Isran got her were good and the sauce was amazing, it was usually hard to get such good flavor with no meat, she wondered how much Isran had spent on the meal.

“So you’re getting full plate armor and a temporary sword.”

Isran nodded as she chewed.

“What happened to your old sword, and the shield.”

“Morgana said I should sell it.”

Elysi blinked. There it was again, Isran’s perilous trust in people. Elysi didn’t even know Morgana enough to speak well of her character, being a cursed knight didn’t help that either. Sure the pink-haired woman was the most friendly cursed knight she had met, but she had met a lot of friendly clients that tried to do some really dumb things... putting it lightly.

“Isran...”

“Mmm?”

Elysi sighed and put her wooden plate on the table. “We should talk about how... trusting you are.”

Isran winced. “Ah... right.”

“I don’t want you to think I’m pushing you around or telling you what to do but Kestin and by extension, Thalbrin is not a place to throw around trust blindly.”

Elysi started feeling bad as she watched an embarrassed blush creep up Isran’s face.

“I’m sorry.”

“You don’t have to apologize Isran, it’s just... It’s dangerous and I want you to be safe.”

Isran nodded a few times and took in a deep breath. “Yeah okay, I understand.”

Elysi made sure to smile at the timid woman and rub her knee.

They ate in semi-awkward silence for a while before Isran spoke up again.

“Is it like weird that I live in a whore house?”

Elysi laughed. “Do you think it’s weird?”

“Uh... no I don’t think so... but like will people start to think I work here? Don’t I have to pay rent?”

“Calm down,” Elysi said through soft giggles. “A whore house isn’t some kind of organization Isran. It’s like an inn but for whores. Anyone can rent a room. Marcus and Desmarcus aren’t whores.”

Isran nodded. “Are there male whores?”

“Of course. This is a female whore house because mostly women rented the place, it’s a matter of circumstance.”

“So you don’t have like... some person who has you work and takes a cut.”

Elysi shook her head. “Maybe I am oversimplifying but we pay rent to the guy that owns the building, we are paid directly by clients and where we choose to bed them is up to us. There are some designated rooms for work but there is no rule that stops us from bringing someone into our bedrooms.”

Elysi noted how Isran froze up at her last sentence.

“Oh...”

“Are you... uncomfortable with sleeping in the bedroom?”

“Uh... a bit?” Isran winced scratching her head.

Elysi laughed lightly. “I don’t bring clients in here if that’s what’s wrong.”

Isran blushed and covered her face. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. You can be uncomfortable with things about my work, not everyone is a fan.”

“No.. it’s not that... I’m just being a baby. Ignore me.”

Elysi stared at the hiding woman for a minute longer before it clicked. “Are you jealous?”

Isran stiffened.

“Aww... look Isran—“

“No, I get it it’s dumb, this is your job and I barely know you, heck you barely know me and it is kinda weird that I feel that way and you should probably ignore it—“

Elysi shut her up with a soft kiss. “Calm down.”

Isran nodded slowly taking in shaky breaths.

“I’m not upset, okay?”

“Okay.” She whispered, fidgeting with her hands.

“I... does it really bother you?”

Isran immediately shook her head. “No.. I mean a little but I don’t—fuck I’m—“

“Calm down.” Elysi gently unraveled her hands. “Take a deep breath and think about what you want to say.”

Isran obeyed, taking a few minutes to breathe. “Okay... I’m jealous but I don’t think it’s because you’re having sex with other people. And I know I don’t have a right to feel this way because it’s your body and this is your job.... but I think... I don’t like that I’m not there. That you’re not spending time with me.”

Elysi was getting herself in deep with this. At first, she had decided to let the oblivious adventurer tag along because twenty acorns was a cheap man’s lifetime worth of coin. But by the time they had gotten to Kestin money wasn’t really the thing keeping her close. Isran’s amazing cock was great but there was something else there.

“I’m grateful that you’re telling me this. I want you to know you can always talk to me about your feelings okay?”

“Okay.” Isran whispered.

“I’ll try to finish earlier, and we can have the day of Sephia to just ourselves.”

Isran looked a bit confused but nodded still. “Okay.”

“I missed you too you know.”

Isran blushed again. “It’s been only a day.”

Elysi rolled her eyes and climbed into Isran’s lap, kissing the taller woman and mumbling against her lips. “Too long of a day.”
