Some people are born with a purpose, some people find one in their lives, some never find one at all. A rare few, though, a vanishingly tiny minority, are made. There's a term for people like me, Visha Kanya. It means "Poison Maiden", someone who was raised amongst toxins and death to the point where their touch, tears, and sometimes even presence is painful or lethal. A foolish person may ask, "Why would you create such a thing in the form of a living person?" and the answer is simple, they're the perfect assassin. A beautiful, unassuming young woman who can poison an enemy facility's water supply with no obvious equipment, a person who could spit on your cheek on the street and leave you dead in under a minute, an almost-untraceable and undetectable agent of death whose only limitation is her view of the value of human life.

Of course, for all the advantages such a person has, there's a rather enormous disadvantage in the form of their very lethality. If they seek companionship, they must do so with the knowledge that a single hasty and unprotected touch will cause immense pain for their partner, if not worse. It is a lonely existence, and not one that is conducive to healthy views of relationships at the best of times. But one can always hope, and no one knows where things can go, if you're careful.

So, this is a bit of an experimental prompt, moreso than most of mine even. The core conceit is an adventure and romance plot where the core of the romance is a trade-off. Touch is a risk, perhaps it requires a sacrifice or a rare resource, but all in all it is something that can't be done without serious consideration. Of course, the characters will likely find ways around it, but part of the beauty of this is the building of romance and affection without necessarily being able to go with a traditional path of seduction.

In terms of who and what we should do with this, I'm good with a lot of relationships. A bodyguard and her principal? An assassin and her handler? Simply a normal person and the very different friend they've made? Or something entirely different? If you have your own spin on the concept, I'm game to hear that as well!

Kinks are relatively fluid, but for the purposes of this the most salient ones are dirty talk, flirting, foreplay, and gentleness. My only limits are scat, incest, and hard nonconsent, and anything else is up for conversation.

I hope to hear from you!
