Awakening (Part-2)

At Alexander's question regarding Lapitus, the robed girls, sensing the amicable atmosphere suddenly change, straightened their spines, and then after briefly exchanging looks with one another, the fairer Saima who was the more social of the two began the speech they had rehearsed, reciting in with great eloquence, 

"My lord, as you know we came here upon Mistress Gelene's order. She told us to get a man to talk about a dress by getting him drunk and playing as his wife." The girl provided much context, before continuing, 

"This we did."

"Yesterday, after the party, when we went to that man's room, first of all, we fed him a special drink we had prepared before."

"It was not harmful or anything. Even some of the patrons in our establishment like to use it."

"Because it makes them feel very high and sometimes even hallucinate, making them see things like rainbows and flying horses."
