[ The blasphemy makes it hotter. Armand gets it. ]

Who wouldn't want to have you, my darling?

If it's too much to wait for his word, I have experience in handing out pain as well as receiving it. I could take your confession and have you trembling before me.

( who wouldn't want to have you? mark, she thinks gracelessly, and knows it sounds like a lie even in the safety of her brain. )

you'd do that?

( armand must be heaven sent, to offer it. kindness — isolde's never known what to do with that. )

could i do something for you, in return?

[nishtha]

[ A cruel kindness, when part of him would enjoy it. The monster who likes blood on his claws. But to deliver ecstasy with it, oneness with God -- ]

Be a good girl for me.

[knelt]

how does one become good for you, sir?

[nishtha]

Call me Maître. And meet me in the chapel after dark. We will kneel before Christ together, and consider His agonies.

[knelt]

yes, Maître.

( suits him. the two capitals isolde types — god and master. )
