"Listener!" exclaimed a voice from the other side of her chamber door.

She gasped and pulled her hand away from her crotch before she brought the sheets over her head. "W-what?!"

"We heard... noises from within your chambers! Is everything alright?"

Rikki was tomato red in her face. She couldn't even get five minutes alone time without having bodyguards regularly checking her safety. And this one had been so close...

"Y-yes!" she said. "Everything is alright! Return to your posts!"

"As you wish, Listener."

Rikki sighed as she heard them leave her chamber door. It had been such a mood killer, she doubted she would get that aroused again by just thinking of Xad. She wanted him there. But then she doubted that her loyal assassins would even allow a Companion to enter their secret hideout and Sanctuary.

Cicero had been very specific on that point. So specific in fact that he had once flayed the thumbs of a lost wanderer who had the misfortune to stumble upon the hideout. Rikki had payed the wanderer for the trouble and threatened with penalties of death if he ever gave away their position, and after that she had berated Cicero and told him to never do anything similar again.

But what sense was there in talking to a man who dressed and spoke like a fool?
