Damn it, Skellig! She was doing SO WELL at keeping a straight face, and then you had to bring up her preferring strength, power, and experience, binding someone to an altar, and her 'devouring' the offering in a single bite.
She moves close to him, buries her face in his shoulder, her whole body shaking. She probably LOOKS like she's weeping, distraught, but Skellig can tell she's suppressing laughter instead.
The prince looks thoughtful, "The strong and experienced can also be purchased in Te'ratan," he replies. "But I would scout the lair before we purchase bait, even if it is a solid day's ride from here."
