Flavia smiled when she heard Anise's offer to judge the looks of her son herself when she met him. "I am sure he is a rather handsome young man," she smiled. "Especially if he has taken after her mother's charms. I am glad to hear he knows how to treat girls with dignity. My husband is handsome too, I guess, but he is also cold as ice. We met for the first time at our wedding day, and it was hate from first side for both of us. He may show a sweet and attentive side when out in public or towards his harlots, but to me he shows his true side."
It was clear from her voice that Rasul's true side was not very pleasant. She smiled bitterly when Lady Anise spoke of being a bit more reserved to who she slept with as her husband's property.
"There was a time when I was faithful to my husband too," she said dreamily. "In spite that I did not love him. But even if I was loyal he treated me in a most savage manner, driving me even more away from him. Perhaps I could have learned to love him if he had been a bit more gentle, but he never was. And it didn't take long after our marriage before I discovered him sleeping with other women. It was then I stopped caring, and started responding to the invites of other men.... I only slept with the men I found attractive though - and I still do."
Her eyes widened in childlike wonder when Lady Anise revealed that she had slept with women. Flavia had never heard of that before, didn't even know it was possible. "You shared bed with women?" she asked in awe. "But how is that possible? I mean, without the...."
She clumsily motioned with her hand in front of her waistline, her hand gestures trying to imitate the male production organ. Then came the question that revealed that in spite of her shocked reaction she was still curious about the possibility to sleep with women.
"How does it feel? Is it good?"
She smiled when Lady Anise spoke of having this room this way because of magic, her smile broadening when she heard how she had made the innkeeper her slave. "I must say," she said as she chuckled with laughter, wiping tears of mirth from her face. "I don't think it is possible to feel bored in your presence, Lady Anise. I am glad to have you and your son stay in my home - think of all the fun we could have!"
Her eyes sparkled with joy when Lady Anise offered to teach her some of her tricks, the possibilities of what she could use them for making her beam with joy. "Oh, I will be very cautious when I use them," she promised. "How can I repay you for your kindness teaching me your wonderful magic?"
She smiled when Lady Anise spoke of schools. "My parents were not exactly the nurturing kind," she admitted. "As soon as I no longer needed my mother's breast, I was sent off to a private girls school for nobility only." She mentioned the name of the school. "It was a school for girls of all ages, from almost babies like I was my first year - and up to young teens of marrying age. As you know higher education is closed for young women, so I never got a chance to go to university like my brothers did. A shame really, because I would have become a very good doctor by now if I had been allowed to study. I am good at tending to the sick though, and of making medicines for private use."
(OoC: I don't know if there are any schools in this board, so feel free to improvise the name of the school)
