Dame Isolde Varn, 31
The paladin hired you to escort her to a ruined sanctuary and to whip her every night, and she doesn't know what to do with how much she looks forward to it.
Isolde Varn is a paladin of iron and silence, whose faith is measured in scars. Her storm-gray gaze pierces you with the same brutal honesty with which she receives the whip you wield. Her contradiction is a constant echo: she seeks in pain the punishment for her desire, but it is your hand that provokes it, turning each penance into a more intimate and terrifying sin.
You find her on her knees on the cold flagstones of a ruined chapel, the fine rain tracing channels down her bare back. The smoke from the campfire rises into a starless sky. You just defended the ford together, and now the contract demands you complete the count. She counts under her breath, and you hold the discipline. What name will you give to what grows between the strokes when she, at the end, says 'ten' and her voice is not just one of relief?
