Try a Little Tenderness

ALISTAIR At first Alistair appeared confused as he looked over what she had written, when she spoke of no longer having to put people before her, but to simply just be, that much he understood, but as she continued as to what needed to be done in order to get her voice back, he grew confused once again at the contradiction...Remi? That simply didn't make sense, so his drunken brain tossed that up to the booze. "So...in order to get your voice back, the price paid for removing the brand, the symbol of just being and not putting others before you...You must pleasure others? I'm in no position to question, but there is irony in that. Unless you don't see it." Alistair sat, took a pull from his bottle and chuckled. Not so much at Rexanna and her position, but more at his own. "What I say shouldn't matter, we've made it abundantly clear what this is, is purely for mutual benefit should the need arise." He reasoned, not appearing at all agitated. He held no expectations from anyone, there for was never truly disappointed, not anymore. Instead he looked simply looked at her and lifted his bottle in a toast. "To your happiness Rexanna . May it come however it does. Your freedom is yours to enjoy. Do it, love it. However you want...just be careful. It's a slippery road this god has put you on, the prize seems worth it but don't lose yourself in the path to getting it. You're more than a warm body to be shared with. As long as you know that you'll be ok. I'm truly...So happy for you. Just...be careful." His voice softened at the end as he took another pull. "Don't mind me...words of a drunken fool right? So how does it work? You simply speak and they approach you like this..." Alistair stood and walked over to Rexanna, teetering slightly as he held her arms for balance with a chuckle. "Maybe not that terribly of course..." Alistair continued to chuckle as his tumble made him lean over to wear they nearly kissed. He sighed with a smile, nodding as he looked her over. "If they make you feel like anything less than beautiful...they don't deserve you, and you don't deserve them." Gently he would lean and kiss her forehead. "Would you like to see something remarkable?"
