Arric came awake as if from a deep dream, the rain was steady but not too heavy, but he had no desire for himself or his bride to catch cold. He pulled himself up with some effort and brushed the hair back from Bradley's face.
"Are you alright my love? Are you well?"
The shaman came near bearing thick furs for the princes to wrap themselves in, but even upon being so wrapped, Arric insisted on carrying his bride back into the fortress in his arms...

Serina gasped at Heph's suggestion, the concept of participating and even choosing her own punishment hadn't occurred to her, she got cautiously up from where she'd been sitting on his knee, the fires from the forge causing small beads of sweat to appear on her flesh despite the cool air of the cave. Very aware of her nakedness as she crossed to the store room, she saw the heaven oaken chest and cautiously lifted the lid. All manner of whips and tools, gags and riding crops, manacles and devices were stacked in the chest and for a moment Serina felt faint.
Reminding herself of her debt to both Heph and her chivalry she bravely bent over the chest to retrieve the items she thought she could suffer without regret. She chose a nine-tailed whip and a handsome riding crop, the crop was Elven in nature and it stung just to slap her hand with it, while the whip was supple and frightening looking. A strangely curved hook with a thick rubber end presented itself and she grabbed it assuming Heph would need it to tie her wrists to so she could stay in place for her whipping.
To round out the pain she found a pair of weighted nipple clamps, a pair of spurs and a pair of metal tongs that could pinch, nip, or hold things. She found three more shameful items as well. A trio of thick candles whose waxen ends were each carved in the shape of a Orcish phallus, a truly worrying set of anal beads made of pearls, and vial full of a slippery, caustic substance that would sting as well as lubricate.
She laid these things out in front of Heph while on her knees and then bowed her head to him. "Do to me what you will, but please, accept my pain as an apology. [/quote]
