They decided to stay long enough to eat her food and use her bathhouse.
Also have to remind people that these dark elves are not Drows. In my little fantasy universe, unless they're actual warriors, they're not much good in a fight. They're more like social butterflies who has power thanks to money and status, so the amazon and shieldmaiden don't have to worry about being unarmed. The dark elf lady would hardy be able to lift up their weapons, let alone know how to use them.
Is the amazon intended to be left handed, by the way? The right breast would only interfere with a bow if one was left-handed, and her baldric holds her sword handle over her left shoulder. When she carries him with her right arm she might have been keeping her left hand free for other tasks such as fighting, but I would think a lefty would use their left hand in this situation. Or am I putting too much thought into this?
I'm a little confused by the amazons chest, is that a scar? Did she try to cut of her breasts? Or a wound in battle? Or am I just looking at it wrong -_-
I love every little detail in this. from the captive man's squinty eye to the dark lady's ruffled hair and off kilter fur collar thing. i love the happy sexyness of the shield maiden and the dark elves bathing her and I love the stern authority of the amazon. So wonderful!
