Sufficient Protection

"All that's permitted in the ring, I'm afraid. New tournament rules."

Sophitia looked at her opponent, a lizard-like man that towered over her by two heads, and noted the enameled metal guards on his shins and thighs, muscular arms clad in comfortable leather and chain mail, with accompanying, intimidating shoulder guards.

And then there was his lower parts, just hanging freely in the air for all to see.

"I'm sorry but this is ridiculous."

She tried to not look, but it was very hard. Not the thing she was looking at. Not looking at it was hard-

"Look lady, don't shoot the messenger. Everyone's gotta abide by the same rules. Not my idea."

She snapped back to the person she was talking to, once again. Indeed, the woman was not lying, with Sophitia noting a particular draft around her own, bare nethers, feeling her cheeks heat up as she met the spokesperson's eyes.

"... do you at least know why?"

The woman looked her over and smiled, clearly noting how Sophitia once again had to tear her gaze away from the lizard's massive member.

"... makes for better TV, I reckon."

"TV?"

"You two just... resolve this the way you usually do, yeah?"

"Right."

Turning towards her opponent, she noted him scanning her from top to bottom, and then, nodded slowly to himself as if in approval. There was a twitch down below that was all too obvious to her, accompanied by a rush of heat in the pit of her stomach, and she felt her grip on her sword falter.

Better TV, indeed.

Sophitia gets the consolation prize for coming in second in the LPL poll. I am but a humble servant to the desires of my backers and their participation in this Managed Democracy, and so she gets her spotlight, just as ordained. A simple enough piece, but I like the pose and the thickness of her breasts that I custom sculpted for it, so I hope you enjoy it too folks :)

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for all of your kind words! The heat is here, and I am once again reduced to some kind of indoor gremlin that tries to avoid sunlight at all cost, so bear with me as I bear the heat, and make sure you yourself hydrate properly too. Take care of yourselves, as well as each other - we live in a pretty crazy world at times.
