The way the lair was quite painful and uncomfortable for Athanasia and Livonna. And Kajira just couldn't help herself to stop laughing at their discomfort. But when they finally reached the lair, the witch quickly suggested to vampiress to help her, an as soon as Athanasia stripped naked and lay down on her belly, Kajira started carefully removing thorns from her sore buttocks.

"So, what... Ow! ...do you want? Ow!" vampiress asked, squirming in pain a bit.

"Oh, not as much, as you could thought, milady!" Kajira carefully removed few thorns one by one "I'm not asking for any more reward but become a part of your crew!"

"Oh, really? Ow! And why... Ow! ...do you think... Ow! ...I will allow you... Ow! ...to join? Ow!"

"Because I know, that you need a magician, milady, and I am one!"

"Well... Ow! And why do you... Ow! ...want to join me? Ow!"

"I know, what you're planning, milady. Oh, don't look at me like that! You should stop discussing your plans that loud, if you want prevent them from being uncovered too early!" Kajira giggled "You have a very huge ambitions, milady! And I'm pretty sure, that when you'll become the Dark Lady of the Realm, you'll need not just a bodyguard, but also a court witch."

"Ow! Do you really want to be just... Ow! ...number two, Kajira? Ow!"

"Let's just say, it's much more safe to be just number two, milady."
