Playing with Luste

"C'mon, Tia, don't complain! You promised!"

Spiritia frowned as she let Luste wrap rope around her, binding her to the chair in the training room. She didn't mind playing Luste's Cops and Robbers games, but Luste's idea of an interrogation scene didn't sound very comfortable. At least she worked fast, binding Spiritia's wrists behind the chair, then tying her feet together. Spiritia wriggled a bit, finding her bonds not too painful.

"Hee hee, I got you, you bad guy!" cheered Luste, pulling out a pair of cloths. "Now, you gotta keep quiet and not call your henchmen."

Spiritia opened her mouth to protest, but Luste stuffed one in her mouth and tied the other one behind her head, covering her nose and lower half of her face. Prancing back in front and grinning, Luste was about to begin her "interrogation" when she suddenly pinched her legs together and went wide-eyed.

"Oh...oh!"

"Whaa?" asked Tia through her gag.

"I have to go! Real bad! I'll be right back!"

Luste dashed out to the ladies room while Spiritia settled back into the chair and tried to get comfy. Quietly, she hoped that she would at least be left alone until Luste got back. That didn't last when Zorne walked into the room with some food.

"Hey, Tia, I-...what happened to you?"

"Luff did dif."

"Who?"

"LUFF!"

"Oh, Luste. Well, okay. I'm not gonna judge what you two do together. I accept your lifestyle choices."

"Wha? If not-..."

"Anyway, Trauare and I are going on a picnic. If anyone asks, we'll be by the river."

Zorne turned and walked out. Spirita huffed a bit, but sat quietly for a moment when Schwer-Muta walked into the room. She looked at Spiritia for a moment in quiet contemplation.

"Odd."

Schwer-Muta then walked out. Spiritia blinked in surprise, but was grateful. As she began wondering what was taking Luste so long, Grolla and Sicthe wound up entering the room.

"All I'm saying is that in the event of a-...Spiritia, is that you?" asked Sicthe.

"Who did this? Are we under attack?" asked Grolla, reaching for her blade.

Spiritia quickly shook her head.

"Luff did diff," she said.

"You two were playing Cops and Robbers again, weren't you?" asked Sicthe.

Spiritia nodded in embarrassment.

"You have to stop letting that girl do things like this," said Grolla. "It's not dignified."

"C'mon, let's leave her be. I'm sure Luste will back soon to get her loose."

As Sicthe and Grolla left, Spirita began wondering who else would come and see her like this. So far, it seemed like everyone in the RKS would be wandering through the room at this rate. As she considering blasting herself loose, Liebea walked in on her.

"Wah! Miss Tia!" she exclaimed, running over to her. "Are you all right? Are you hurt?"

"If okky," murmured Spiritia. "Ah'm pmmyimg wif Luff."

"Did you say 'playing'? This is a game? What kind of game involves tying someone up? Maybe Karl knows. I have to go ask."

As Liebea went off to find her brother, Spiritia did some thinking. So far, it was mostly the RKS' female members that had come through. That meant there was only one person left that she didn't want to see like this.

"Tia? What are you doing like that?"

Unsurprised at this point, Spirita turned to see Fruedia standing there with a sandwich and drink.

"Hhmmo, Fruudia," she said. "Luff tiee mm ump."

"Oh, I see," replied Fruedia. "Need any help?"

"Nm, smm shommd me mmck soo."

"I hope so. Stay there too long and you're bound to have people walk in on you."

"M knnw."

"All right, I'll leave you two to your games."

Fruedia walked out, giving Spiritia a few moments of peace before Luste finally came back. She pulled down Spiritia's gag and let her spit out the rag, figuring she needed some fresh air at this point. At this point, Spiritia was a bright red from having so many people come and see her.

"Sorry about that!" she called. "I REALLY had to go! Are you doing all right?"

"I've been better," admitted Spiritia.

Spiritia sighed to herself. This would surely be the talk of the RKS for a day or two, but nothing she couldn't recover from. As she and Luste continued their game, she made a mental note to talk to her about what was acceptable for next time.
