Any sufficiently expensive nano technology is indistinguishable from magic, they say?

Bobbing up and down on your hard erection like a goddamn pro. Sliding her tongue up and down along the underside of the shaft to coat it with her saliva. Then she was popping you out of her mouth and stroking you with her hand. Looking up at you with a wild smile.

"Did I surprise you? Do you like it?"

Hand pumping your penis like the machine she was.

yeah cooked sponges wouldn't go well with veggies

Yes cooked right without sponges good

But if there were any thoughts about turning back, it would be too late because, there at the door she stood, watching as we approached.
I never knew if the youth serums failed to work on her or if she just chose not to have them. It was so odd to see anyone who looked over the age of thirty here but there she was, her face wrinkled and her hair grey. I could see her hands as they gripped her shawl tightly in front of her. They were weathered and gnarled. But it was her eyes that were most disconcerting. They were cloudy, I had always wondered if perhaps she might have some sort of blindness....but when she nodded her head and opened her door for us, I knew then that she did indeed have full sight.

"T...t....tal Mistress" Lowering my head as I passed her, looking around inside at the dirt floor strewn with straw.
She beckoned us closer inside, motioning for us to kneel in the corner. "What is it you seek?" The question was posed to you, not I and I knew then that the Gods had brought us here, not for the vulo but for something deeper perhaps.

Are they under a spell perhaps?"

She looked at me with those smoky eyes and then burst out laughing, it was a wicked sounding cackle that echoed around the room and I felt the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. "VULO? You ask me about.....vulo?" I suddenly started to feel a little silly and I looked to you, hoping for something we could say to alleviate this awkwardness.

Then, from beneath her shawl, she stretched her withered old arm out, opening her gnarled hand for payment
"Oh Mistress" speaking fast. "We were hoping you might allow payment in the form of honey cakes and eggs"

"Honeycake?" He head Jerked up suddenly. "The slut, honeycake?" I thought I saw the thin line of her mouth twitch in a smile. "Yes.....yes. She will do nicely as payment, I think"

says to helga{TBx}Scagnar's Skal: moving along as i picked my way along the rocky road, peering about as the wind had seemed to suddenly die, cocking my head as indigo orbs look to You wide as nary a sound of nature or beast can be heard, eyes travel to look in the direction you gesture to..speaking low. tis a bit of a erry place is it not.. are you sure She is home?

says to spiorad {IoS}bond-maid o: For some inexplicable reason I began to tippy toe as we moved closer, keeping my voice low as I moved in close to you. "I have never known her not to be. Do you have any questions for her?"

says to spiorad {IoS}bond-maid o: "Well...you should, while you have the chance" A loud swallow was made...my eyes were as wide as saucers. Suddenly I began to wonder if this was a wise thing. But if there were any thoughts about turning back, it would be too late because, there at the door she stood, watching as we approached.
I never knew if the youth serums failed to work on her or if she just chose not to have them. It was so odd to see anyone who looked over the age of thirty here but there she was, her face wrinkled and her hair grey. I could see her hands as they gripped her shawl tightly in front of her. They were weathered and gnarled. But it was her eyes that were most disconcerting. They were cloudy, I had always wondered if perhaps she might have some sort of blindness....but when she nodded her head and opened her door for us, I knew then that she did indeed have full sight.

says to helga{TBx}Scagnar's Skal: suddenly finding my throat dry as i scooted closer to you as the worn down house was before us. nodding slowly as you spoke as indigo orbs took in the strange sight of One looking so old, having never seen that, though i tried hard not to stare, i could not look away, those eyes were disconcerting as if they looked right through you as almost crept at your side as the Volva opened the door and gestured..
ohhh here goes nothing helga, if i get turned into a toad don't let me croak!

says to spiorad {IoS}bond-maid o: Your humour dispelled the trepidation I felt and I had to fight the urge to burst out laughter, my lips pressed hard together...but then when we were right in front of her, I felt my nerves return and I kind of nudged you inside ahead of me, in case you changed your mind and fled, leaving me alone. "T...t....tal Mistress" Lowering my head as I passed her, looking around inside at the dirt floor strewn with straw.
She beckoned us closer inside, motioning for us to kneel in the corner. "What is it you seek?" The question was posed to you, not I and I knew then that the Gods had brought us here, not for the vulo but for something deeper perhaps.

says to helga{TBx}Scagnar's Skal: almost tripping as i catch myself and stumble through the door as you nudge me in, drats there was no escaping now it was almost as if you could read my thoughts as i smooth my kirtle and dip my head with respect to the Volva. indigo orbs taking in the dimly lit recesses, seeing the straw strewn over the dirt floor. eyes widening as an audible gulp escapes as the Volva speaks to me a i lower to kneel.pondering for a moment before silvery voice whispered..
do You see what the norns have in store for me great Volva?

says to spiorad {IoS}bond-maid o: "Then, that is your answer" replied the Volva. "Live in the now, the past is gone and the future will take of itself. That is for both of you" Her voice was crackly but I heard the wisdom in it and I nodded respectfully. "And...the vulo Mistress...the vulo at my owner's steading have stopped laying. Are they under a spell perhaps?"

She looked at me with those smoky eyes and then burst out laughing, it was a wicked sounding cackle that echoed around the room and I felt the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. "VULO? You ask me about.....vulo?" I suddenly started to feel a little silly and I looked to you, hoping for something we could say to alleviate this awkwardness.

tis only because the vulo eggs are so important we thought the wise Volva would know what could bedevil them from not laying! as only a wise Volva could! nodding my head fervently and discreetly nudges helga

"Hmmm" was her only response before she momentarily narrowed her eyes, as cloudy as they were, before closing them. There was a long silence and I looked to you nervously. Had she fallen asleep? But then, suddenly she broke the silence and said.... (Your turn LOL)

says to helga{TBx}Scagnar's Skal: nearly jumps as you nudge me back, looking to you as i swallow then looking back at the Volva as she closed her eyes, almost leaning forward slightly, expecting to hear little snoring sounds, before jerking back sharply as The vovla suddenly spoke, peering as i could swear i heard laughter in Her voice as She spoke..
the only curse upon the vulo is them being chased by the wee ones in a game!

says to spiorad {IoS}bond-maid o: "Ooooh of course!" Blurting it out "Thorbjorn has been using them for target practise. Wait until his father finds out he is the reason they have stopped laying!" I would have laughed but I thought perhaps that might not be appropriate.

Then, from beneath her shawl, she stretched her withered old arm out, opening her gnarled hand for payment
"Oh Mistress" speaking fast. "We were hoping you might allow payment in the form of honey cakes and eggs"

"Honeycake?" He head Jerked up suddenly. "The slut, honeycake?" I thought I saw the thin line of her mouth twitch in a smile. "Yes.....yes. She will do nicely as payment, I think"

I nudged you helplessly, hoping you might be able to think of a way to tell her....because I sure as hell couldn't.. Maybe honeycake WOULD come willingly? Would her Jarl let her? Even as the thoughts played in my head the resounding answer came hard and fast "NO!"

"You insult me" came her reply. "In the stead of a bond-maid you offer me a thrall for a few days!" I was panicked now and I began to fidget nervously with my kirtle. She was clearly cross with us and I thought perhaps it was best we made a hasty retreat. "Yes, Mistress. We will return tomorrow with payment" Rising to my feet and looking to you

says to spiorad {IoS}bond-maid o: I ran with you from the shack, my hand tightly gripping yours. My mind was in turmoil, there was even the thought of kidnapping honeycake. We could throw a sack over her head, just like Ivar Forkbeard did with Hilda the haughty. No one need ever know it was us. Hmmm such devious thoughts! But...what if we were caught? Jarl Svein would no doubt dish out the harshest punishment possible. I didn't look back until we made it back to the steading.

My heart was pounding rapidly within my chest. "We need a plan...Maybe we should ask our Jarls?"
