“Who?”
Emerald explains his encounter with Stargazer, and Joyride nods and says, “Oh, ‘Stargazer’, yeah. Heh, who do you think is in this box?”
Joyride then gives the boxes a few knocks, which elicits a shudder, “Stargazer here is in big trouble. Supposedly whatever happened at Trotton is her fault.”
“Supposedly…?”
“Well, I’m not sure her brand of magic has that sort of power really. She is a petitioner of the Succubi. They are usually more in the business of subtlety taking power than destroying whole towns and making populations disappear overnight with nary a word.”
Emerald has heard of succubi. He thinks he read about them in one of his dad’s books. Remembering what Succubi are famous for suddenly makes Emerald remember something.
“Hey, why did you put my semen in a bottle?”
“Probably for the same reason this slut wanted it.” Joyride says slapping the box again, “Semen of a child freely given is a powerful and semi-rare magical ingredient in some circles. Not a big fan of Succubus magic myself, but I know some people who will pay good money for it.”
“So you weren’t just trying to help me out yesterday, were you?” Emerald says, feeling slightly used.
“Hey now, we were helping each other out. Isn’t that what friends are for? I mean look, here, if you want the ring off that badly I know some people who will pay top dollar for a piece of you. What do you think?”
Emerald thinks about it for a second. It’s not like there is anyone he particular wants to be with right now, other than Hope perhaps. Maybe it is just best to get things out of the way. Still feels wrong though.
“I-I’ll think about it…” Emerald says blushing, and Joyride snickers.
