Of course, Raven should have known she was in trouble. Varis had seemed absolutely keen to communicate frequently since Sophia; and a dinner and tour of the Capital seemed innocent enough, but when 'dessert' proved to be no less than three primals, Raven's suspicions were raised. Varis wasn't exactly harmless, but the Emperor was still quite friendly and approachable. Still; the viera was feeling her anxiety spike as the giant of a man approached with a smile while the remainder of Ifrit was slurping down, looking a little worried as the Emperor of the Garlean empire caressed a cheek before holding it in a palm, his other hand resting on the great mass of a belly containing not just three raging primals but dinner, rubbing just-so to soothe.

"Comfortable?" Varis interrupted Raven's thoughts with the question and the viera Black Mage arched both brows at him helplessly. The rest of Igfrit disappeared into her mouth with a last sdwallow -- she wasn't cruel, she knew it was th3e fastest end to the primal -- but she was stuck, wiggling her fingers.

"I'm literally stuck in place." Raven pointed out candidly, but Varis only afforded a soft chuckle, and leaned in close to press a kiss to the woman's lips.

"Good. I promise, you're safe now."

I was doing an experiment with size on this one and didn't initially plan to turn the Sophia image into a series but here's the end to it. Looks like Varis got what he wanted in the end! -SNRT- At least his motives are pure enough. U'vew never drawn Varis before because have you seen the man's art and in-game? Dark armopr. So there's some creative licensing therew but I'm pleased enough not to hate it. :'D For an idea of scale, Varis is canonically 8'6, and Raven is 5'4... So.... Y'all can just use your imagination for things from here. XD This last one was just some self-indulgent shipping anyhow; I quite find Raven and Varis cute, is constant menaces to one another in the best way.
