*Emily bit her lip.*
"...I wouldn't dare try. You belong to someone else."

*Genghis's face grew colder.*
"But I thought you were the only one in control here. I'm afraid that this subject may be too complex for me to understand."

*Emily sighed and rubbed her face.*
"...I don't fully understand it, myself. But you're clearly not a NPC. You weren't brought here by natural inclination...you don't belong here. Clearly someone controls you and brought you in. I can't think who, exactly...Jamie has Xandros...I don't know if she'd go for TWO warlords, although I guess once you start it's easy to continue...and then Kris, well she's a bit of a dark horse, so maybe it was her. Kate likes Yul Brynner, but who DOESN'T? And Brandi--"
*She glanced at Genghis and caught him sucking on his lip and doing things with his eyelashes. She gasped as it dawned on her.*
"...it IS Brandi!" *she crowed.*

((You know me too well. I is busted for my lip/eye description fetish.))
"Brandy?"
*Genghis looked confused and not amused.*
"I believe you are confusing me with my son. I am not controlled by the need to drink."

"Not unless she wants you to be," *she smirked. She tilted her head back and cried out to the heavens.* "Is Genghis suddenly thirsty for some liquor?"

*Genghis looked at her like she was some sort of crazy person. ((I am quite sure they will say so.))*
"Perhaps we should retire for the evening...you seem tired..."
*Suddenly he stopped and his brow furrowed again. A drink did sound good all of a sudden. That was odd. He turned to the carafe of wine, fingers touching it gently. He forced himself to release it and looked back to her, his expression surprised but cold.*
"What is this? You are doing this. Get out of my skin."

"I swear, it's not me," *she said with a slow smile.*
"And I'm not immune to it, either. We're merely the middle of the road when it comes to true power. Whoever controls me could make me do stupid things, if they wanted."
*She shrugged.*
"But I'm grateful that they seem to be subtle, to a point. I'll never doubt them again, nor believe that the power I own is truly mine--my inability to defend myself proved that."

*Genghis lowered his head, acknowledging her point.*
"Perhaps it is best not to speak of such things."

"Just accept it for what it is. Give in to what desires you have and do not question where they come from and what hands shape your fate. To think on it too much will drive you mad, as it nearly did me."

"Very well."
*Genghis paused for a while, but could not resist.*
"One thing and I won't ask anything else about it tonight. Is it...a girl?"

"Does that really matter so much?"

*Genghis thought for a moment.*
"Yes."

"It is not a girl," *she said firmly.*
It's a woman, you misogynist asshat.

((*tee hee* That made me giggle so much. I don't know why.))
*There was something in her eyes that suggested perhaps she wasn't being entirely honest with him, but Genghis had promised that would be the last question on the matter, so he looked back to the wine. Now he couldn't even enjoy that without thinking of it. His brow furrowed, but he remained silent.*

*Emily shot him a wry glance.*
"Don't let it trouble you."
