Talia would've said that it was a shame that Nyx hadn't been with a woman. Instead, she watched Nyx worry at her lip, then sipped at her cocktail, smiling privately. "I imagine that you're very good at your job," she purred, giving Nyx a much more subtle once-over. She enjoyed being with women intimately. She loved how they tasted, how their bodies pressed up against hers. In saying that, though, she couldn't imagine being with a man other than Brayden. But that wasn't the conversation that they were having. "You're alive and thriving. Queen Irinia is alive and thriving. That's something to be proud of."
