"You let men into your house and sleep with them?" Rael blurted out, causing Malinali's brows to twitch.
"What...? Don't twist my words," Malinali replied coldly. "I've not slept with anyone, as I believe in purity. The furthest I've gone is teasing. Who wouldn't give out all the answers in the world so long as a beautiful woman such as myself is half-naked in front of them?"
Rael found it hard to believe at first, but she did have a point. If Zafira were to approach him dressed like Malinali had, he would probably recite a holy mantra forwards and backwards in one go.
Anyhow...
"So this is the real you?" Rael mused. "I'd say this personality suits you better than the temptress."
Before she could reply, he continued. "You said you're willing to talk, right? I highly doubt you'll like what I have to say, though."
Malinali sat on top of the living room table in front of him, then shot him a nod, as if telling him to speak his mind.
And speak his mind he did.
