Noelle's facade never wavered, but inside her mind was in a frenzy. [i]"This isn't happening, this [b]shouldn't[/b] be happening- Shit, what am I going to do now!?"[/i] Noelle's lips quivered for a moment, and she resigned herself to speak the truth. It was obvious that Sharee, even without magical means, could see through her lies. Noelle would just have to tell her the truth, or at least not lie about what she did. "I never thought that you would fall for love. Not that I know what it is, hence why I asked. Ah, but listen to me, beating around the bush... Well, when I came in today, I found you asleep on the floor reeking of ale. I figured you were drunk and I was hesitant to wake you up, less I find you in a sour mood. And I wanted to talk to you about the plans for the ship, but I know I can't act on it without your approval, which you might not be so willing to give if you're still in a stupor. And time was of the essence. So I... Cast an enchantment on myself. It increases my charisma and personality, allow me to have and air of ease and familiarity even with total strangers. And among closer associates like you and I, it creates a much more... Intimate relationship." Noelle spoke with the truth, though with a hint of nervousness and fear, likely because the captain was staring daggers into her. And may soon put physical ones into her as well. "Though I do speak honestly that I never thought that you think of me so well that you would even be willing to lay with me. I had imagined our relationship was... Professional at best. We haven't really gotten to know each other that well that I would have thought you would have such feeling for me while I was still enchanted. The spell should have worn off by now, just so you know. I hope you don't mind my magic. It has served me well, and I intend to still use it as often as I can, for whatever reason arises." Noelle bowed her head and kept it there, not looking Sharee directly into her face. Noelle was putting herself at the captain's mercy; she could very well drive a dagger into the Breton's back or even decapitate her, if Sharee was so inclined. Noelle just hoped that she was honest enough not to get executed.
