Bound by Fate (Pathfinder)(Full)

[DissociatedChaos]

Cyria's answers to her questions had Lea snickering slightly. It was rather amusing to see the large drider blushing from just her second question alone, and she made a mental note to make sure that she had plenty of other opportunities to tease her. She'd only managed to get someone to nearly faint from blushing too hard once before, but it would be entertaining to try and see if she could get someone that embarrassed again. Still, the answers were informative, all the same. “Well, I'll leave the questions that you just brought to mind for the morning, since you're taking your leave,” she said with a sly smirk. “For now, have a good night, enjoy yourself, and try to get at least a bit of sleep later on!”

She would likely pursue at least a bit more about that last line of questioning, along with more details of the biology for both Cyria and tauric species in general later, given that it seemed likely to be both interesting, and amusing. She could find out what all her new teammates could do with their magic while she was at it, she was sure. She had some experience with it, naturally, but... she wasn't really all that versed in details for what all was possible outside of the things she'd seen on sale. A pair of wands and potions she had tucked away hardly made her an expert, as she was well aware. The possibilities her mind cooked up though... it made her slightly sad that she hadn't ever been given the option of learning. Not that she'd likely be all that great at it, but the thought of designing spells specifically for some fantasies of hers made her smile.

She grinned back at the fairies and cat girls, letting herself sink into the teasing back and forth, and trying not to let her mind carry her fantasies so far that she would loose track of the conversations. That could always be a problem, if she didn't watch herself. She felt her own face flushing just a bit at the thought of one of the adorable fairies taking her shrunk down some, toying with her, and swallowing her down. “Definitely should practice with the shrinking then,” she agreed with a grin. “If only to make sure that the struggling isn't too... distracting.” She nodded over towards Meera, shooting her smirk at the younger fairy. “Though feel free to let me know if you want me squirming about a good bit in there – just for... making sure you're able to handle it in an emergency, that is.” She winked at the girl, already clearly planning to see just how much of a reaction she could get from her.

Her own faint blush had cleared up a bit before returning at Alura's continued teasing, and she leaned back in her chair, legs pressed a bit tight under the table, shifting just slightly. “But yes, gurgled in a fairy sounds much, much nicer than being fish food. I'm not a fan of fish in general, be they the sort that are trying to eat me, or the kind that might get hooked on a line and end up on a plate. The second sort I can stomach, but the first sort, I'd rather avoid all together. I guess there might be some cuties in the ocean, but I've just yet to see one that I wouldn't mind taking a trip inside.” Which was, for her, almost impressive. She stood as well, deciding that she shouldn't keep sitting much longer. Moving would help keep her mind a bit more focused, and help her body hold off on reacting too much until she was actually in private.

She watched Meera and Yumina while she shifted her weight between her feet, slightly tempted to just go up behind one of them to start giving them the scratches behind the ears to see how they'd act. She restrained herself, at least while in public, before she giggled at the comment from the furrier feline. “Well, I need my hands, or my ability to make kitties happy would be sorely reduced, other than from the inside. So even if it's still tempting, I'll hold off on that without permission. At least in public.” A glance back at Meera for her own playful comment held just a bit more anticipation of her own, too. “Belly rubs as at least one thing I intend to use them for, for anyone who asks.”

With the barmaid's arrival back at their table, she took her drink with a slight nod and a welcoming smile, bringing it up to take a sip despite her earlier intentions to avoid getting even buzzed. She wouldn't turn down the drink, and even if it lowered her already loose inhibitions, she was sure her new friends would at least try not to have her ending up in a toilet the first day they had her. Probably. And if she did end up feeling a bit... shitty in the morning, well she'd at least have the alcohol to blame when Mary started chewing her out for letting someone else digest her. The drink trickled over her tongue, the flavors making her close her eyes for a moment as she let them distract her while Tina flirted with Alura, before swallowing with a gentle tilting of her head, pinky curled away from the glass just a bit. She sighed as she felt it glide down her throat, wondering just when the kick would hit for the apparently rather strong drink.

“I'll be trading out the smaller room I had for a suite with some of the rest of the group,” she told the barmaid, agreeing with Johan's comment about it being unlikely that they'd need more rooms. “The same one you'll be in, in fact. Not sure if the room I had been using will be used at all, so I'll go get my things from it before joining everyone else. Mind letting me know which suite I should head to after getting my gear?” She took another sip of the drink, enjoying it and determined to finish before leaving to her former bedroom. She'd also leave a note on the door just in case Mary showed up before Lea woke in the morning. Unlikely, but something she should do, either way. “I was in room one-oh-four, for anyone who does want to use it, unlikely as the idea may be.” Clearly, Naji at least was intending to join Johan's group in the other suite they'd be grabbing. If she weren't already going to be with cat girls and fairies, she might be a bit envious ofter the mention of spider silk neckwear and... other accessories. She had some silk rope, but it wasn't from a cute drider, she was sure.

She finishes her drink setting the glass on the table before she stretches, just a bit, arms above her head and her chest pushing out enough to draw the eye. She groans softly, starting to feel a bit of extra warmth from the drink already, before looking to Tina, waiting for her reply. She hardly wanted to go knocking on every door in the building to find everyone, and thus keep anyone waiting on her. They'd likely be more than able to entertain themselves without her for a bit, but she wanted to be there for it all as much as she could. She'd have to make sure that she hurried when grabbing her stuff.

[Jermayan]

Alura’s question has Cyria grinning, and she pulls her spellbook from the pack on her back. Leafing through it, she flicks two of the thin bookmarks down, marking a pair of spells before she hands it to Alura. “The first you’re probably familiar with - it’s a fairly standard lubricant spell, although I don’t know if your version would have the extra sequence to change the flavor that mine does. As for the second...well, let’s just say it’ll be necessary for your ‘fairy evac’ idea if you don't already know it.”

[ Don’t remember exactly what Alura has, so Cyria’s offering Grease and Reduce Person, although I think Alura might know the latter already ]

The look on Lea’s face makes Cyria certain that she was taking more than a little amusement in her reaction to her line of questioning. “Careful what you wish for, or I just might give you a more up-close tour of my anatomy than you would prefer.” Cyria’s smirk makes it clear that she’s joking...mostly, but there’s the telltale predatory gleam in her eye that hints at it not being an entirely empty threat.

When Tina returns with the second menu for Sasara, Cyria takes a quick peek at it over her shoulder, and can’t help but let her surprise show on her face when she sees the sheer variety that’s being offered. “Mmmph. If I wasn’t still full, I’d definitely be looking at that a bit more. Although, I might get something to go in the morning…” Ducking a little closer, her voice drops a bit as she whispers in her ear and gives her a quick peck on the cheek. “Don’t take too long, or I might have finished up with Johan by the time you arrive.”

Turning back to Johan as he mentions a desire to test the comfort of her ‘silken accessories’, Cyria’s grin is just as large, and showing her fangs quite prominently to boot. “Oh? Well, if you’re not too partial to anything in particular, I’ll probably start off with something a bit more traditional for my kind and then see where we go from there.” Following Johan down the hallways toward their rooms, she can already feel the telltale twitch and flexing in her abdomen as her spinnerets start to swell in subconscious anticipation of the activities to come.

[ambrose-euanthe]

“Mmm… better not,” Sasara hisses. “I’m a little short on cash right now, and I wouldn’t want to end up on this list myself…” although her fairy companions would doubtless disagree. “I think I’ll just go to bed. When the othersss~ do,” she continues, wriggling just a little closer to where Cyria and Johan are getting a bit more closely acquainted. “So long as I’m welcome,” she says, snuggling just a bit against the pair of them, forcing their bodies closer together within her coily embrace… “Doesn’t matter that it’s a small room…”

[CassyInko]

((Given the group has split up, I'll be doing the scenes individually where there are NPCs involved. I'll designate where the 'scene' is, so it won't be missed! ))

When conversation briefly shifts to the 'pool' of who ends up getting digested first, Meera's face brightens and her ears perk, mouth opening as if she was about to throw in her own bet on the 'pool'. After a second, she seems to think better of it, though, and instead gravitates towards Lea's own opinions of fish - both sentient and non "Meera loves fish! And birds! And mousie-people! And...well, anything that squirms around alot!" Running her tongue along her lips, the excitable catgirl clearly shows what her 'like' relates to "And--"

Interjecting into the conversation, Yumina speaks up with a just a hint of a barb in her voice "Cliche'. I like anything that moves. Or if it's not, gimmie a steak. Medium-rare." Swirling around the last little bit of cheap ale in the bottom of her mug, the feline warrior eyes it pensively. Finally, she tilts the mug upwards above her head, and lets the last few droplets drain into her open mouth, before setting it down with a contented sigh, pushing it away "Ahhh....much as I love my drink, been a long day. I'm sore, full, and a nice, warm bed is soundin' like an absolutely wonderful option. If YOU are not going to be using your room, Lea, I might as well take it over. After all, if it's already paid for, would be a BIG shame letting it stay empty..." Leaning back and propping one bare foot up on the table, Yumina idly picks at her teeth with her pinky, the other roaming slowly across her groaning stomach. That hand - when Alura once more returns to roaming her own across the tightly-stretched bulge of the two digesting sibling - falls away, the catgirl's eyes closing to mere slits "Mm...that, though, I could get used to..."

The soft, roaming hands across her stomach sends a little shiver of delight through Yumina, who focuses her intense, partially-closed eyes on Alura every time a little rub makes her softening dinner squirm or shift slightly inside of her. Even through the thin layer of fur and flesh that held the duo inside of the once-hungry feline predator, the fairy can feel a sort of...softness to the duo, them giving in to her gentle but insistent ministrations just slightly more than they should have. Both were still alive, but there was little doubt about it - one hour and some change had softened them up nicely, and by the time early morning rolled around, they were likely going to be little more than a sloshy lump in the satiated catgirl's midsection. An especially pleasant rub is enough to make Yumina's toes curl - a fact she seems quite aware of - and she quickly scoots her foot off of the table, planting it firmly back on the ground "Mm. It IS taking care of them quite nicely, isn't it? Here's to stupid bandits who bite off more than they can chew." With a satisfied slap to her stomach, Yumina leans back again, balancing precariously on the legs of her chair which creak alarmingly under the weight of herself and her dinner "...But not more than I can swallow. Been so long..." She murmurs in a half daze, the pleasure of a full stomach and Alura's own roaming hands more than enough to put her into a sort of torpor.

The fairy's further praise encites Meera to hop to her feet, displaying the bulge of the half-elf in her stomach proudly "That's right! Kitty specialists specialize in preventing fairies from getting eaten! And-- " Easing her arms beneath her stomach, she lifts it up a little bit, only to let it slosh loudly back into place. The half-elf within utters a muffled whimper, a single handprint briefly bulging the front of the elated catgirl's belly "--This is the best kinda reward for a job well done! Must do more protecting in the future!" She briefly shifts her attention to Tina, but whatever 'protecting plan' was formulating in her mind is quickly dismissed. A kick from her food jostles her belly slightly, just enough to upset her mug of water which totters, leans...and spills, sending a small deluge of water across the top of the table. Flushing slightly, she quickly plants her butt back in her chair, ears wilted "..O-oops...sorry.."

Unable to retain her normally dour disposition, even Naji chuckles softly, shaking her head slowly back and forth. Well, she might not be the brightest creature, but Meera was...amusing, to say the least. Not bad in a scrap, either. She still didn't quite understand why the other, conquered merc group had been saddled with her, and seemed to think so highly, but...who knows. Maybe her bright disposition was enough. Taking another little sip of her wine, Naji shifts her attention from Meera, to Johan as he heaves himself up out of his seat, then to Cyria, her grin broadening further "...Silk neckwear, hrm? Well, far be it for me to miss THAT little show. I'll be along in a few minutes, mm? And I'll bring greenskin with me. She's not gonna cause any trouble. Are you, orc?" Drodjee's only response is a sour but defeated look, her short tusks briefly baring in a flash of anger "Cause if you do..." A less mirthful smirk replaces her grin, eyes returning to her glass "...From what I hear, our 'kitty specialist' is more than capable of fitting an orc in with an elf. Would be no skin off my back."

This prompts the half-orc to look in Meera's direction, the catgirl simply flashing a smile and a nod back in response.

Lifting her arms up over her head, Anya yawns, giving Cyria's abdomen one final pat as she gets up to go enjoy her 'fun' "...I think I'm going to turn in. Much fun as it would be to see you dangle Johan from the ceiling, I'm beat. A nice rest is sounding lovely. Have fun, dear. Do try to clean up your webbing when you're done - we don't want the next group walking in to cobwebs." Smiling playfully, Anya returns to her drink, sipping on it casually "We'll be fine here. Go have fun!"

With that, the group splits....


**********************************************************************************************

Suite 4

Johan, Cyria and (I assume?) Sasara step into their room for the night, taking a few moments to survey their surroundings. It was...certainly SPACIOUS. Though not elaborately decorated, the floor was clean and looked as if it had been washed recently, the curtains were of moderate value and in fine condition, and the tub - more like a spa - was large and inviting, it's entirety wrought out of brass with what looked like silver highlights around the edges. A faint, lingering scent of cinnamon tickles their senses, briefly making their noses tingle pleasantly.

The beds themselves - three total - were of varying size, one of them obviously meant to house larger species (In the 10-12 foot range), and the other two a little more human-sized. Still, it was easily enough to fit six or seven people, maybe even more. There would certainly be no lack of room for the night's endeavors. A wardrobe sat against the far back wall, a small, empty bookshelf and desk sat against the left side of the entryway, and a small washbasin filled with clean water sat atop a small table between the beds, topped with two folded rags obviously meant to wash the grime from the road with.

Pleasantly enough, there was even indoor plumbing...or as close as it came in a less-developed settlement. A large room off to the side housed a single, oddly shaped toilet, topped with a trio of seats - a large that could fit a smaller, and a medium that could fit an even smaller. It seemed to have all the enmities of a classier, big-city establishment, albeit a little more crude and rudimentary.

Overall, it was...surprisingly nice. Far above what one might expect in a place like the Port city.

**************************************************************************************************

Room 104

After assurance from Tina that they'd likely be staying in 'Suite 2', Lea breaks from the table to go gather up her things. Her own room was a little on the smaller side, but still quite pleasant - it was clean, livable, had two soft beds, and a tub just large enough for a single, human-sized person to cozy down inside. It's plumbing was much the same - rudimentary and basic, but a step above the more basic latrines that smaller towns without a sewer system tended to employ.

A quick check of her doorknob reveals that her room is unlocked - not like she'd left it. Pushing the door open, the reason why becomes quite clear - a maid.

http://imgur.com/a/geYJ7 (Photobucket is being silly, so...this works. x3 )

Bent over the bed Lea had been utilizing, there's little visible beyond her butt, complete with upwards-hiked tail, and a flash of tight, black panties beneath that left very little to the imagination. Her skirt - a little too short - easily revealed the soft, furry cheeks of her cute little butt, perky and rounded, and a slight, enticing sway of her hips only further draws attention to it as she busily straightens up the bed, making it ready for whomever was going to sleep in it.

The soft creak of the door draws her attention, and she bounces back up, swirling to face Lea, and giving her a first, good look at her. A anthro-feline of some sort. She was small - likely a foot shorter than Lea - and immeasurably cute, with large, expressive ears, bright, slitted amber eyes, and a somewhat delicate-looking frame. Her low-cut outfit revealed the top of her breasts - small, around a 'handful' in size - and it's tightness framed the slender, toned expanse of her tummy almost perfectly. The too-short skirt revealed lovely-looking thighs, and further down, white socks covered her knees and calves, finally finishing with shiny, black shoes to complete the outfit. It was...distracting, to say the least, especially with a nice, fuzzy warmth brewing in her stomach from the drink Tina had given her.

The look in her wide, expressive eyes was something on the border of 'interest' and mischief, the feline maid giving Lea and obvious once-over as she steps fully into the room "Oh. Sorry. Didn't expect you to be coming to bed so early..." Her gaze lingers just...a LITTLE more than it really should have, a bit 'low' on Lea's body, before finally sliding back up to her eyes, her lips splitting into a toothy grin "Sorry for the inconvenience...I should be finished up here in just a few minutes. It's our place to serve. Need anything before bed? A drink of water? Late-night snack? Help undressing...?"


***********************************************************************************************

Back at the table...


Anastasia's face remains scrunched in thought, the intricacies of eating berries vs. eating people - and the implications thereof - occupying her thoughts. She'd never really even CONSIDERED it before - heck, she'd never even eaten meat, much less a whole person - but if it was a valid tactic of rescue, i'd be something to consider, right? Never knew when things might go south, and if gulping a few of her friends down like berries and carrying them off would help, that'd not be so much of a bad thing, right?

Though a little lost in the talk of 'spells', Tina nonetheless retains her excitement, sitting down on the bench-like chair that Cyria had just vacated, and scooting it closer to Alura "I'm so excited! Even if I can't really DO it, it'll be fun to attempt! What's the worst that could happen?" Leaning a little closer, Tina wraps her arm around Alura's shoulder, pressing her soft, warm bust up against the fairy's arm. It was...very surprising that someone so 'well formed' had never eaten somebody - it was generally the mark of a somewhat skilled predator, at least where females were concerned - but she just lacked the 'tone' to her belly that came from keeping something squirming and vigorous down.

No. She was a complete novice, that much was certain - but what she lacked in experience, she MORE than made up in enthusiasm "Are...are you CERTAIN about this? I mean, if you were just joking, I'm not really going to hold you to it...after all, who wants to get covered in saliva and all icky, right?" There's a certain glimmer in her eyes, an excitement that clearly read 'please don't be joking'. Nestling herself a little closer, she leans in, gazing across the table at Meera, Yumina, and Naji, then to the side at Anya and Chrysanthemum "...Who all is going to be coming? I...don't wanna intrude..."

[XarcesTheDelicious]

While Awaiting the return of the barmaid, Alura would continue to entertain herself by listening in on the conversations around her. Particularly those involving Yumina, and Meera. The fae, grinning wide when the topic of scratching behind kitty ears is brought up. She merely looking towards Meera while gently stroking Yumina's belly, softly reiterating the words "Alura is best at making kitties happy." Meera had after all, admitted it herself, and while Yumina wasn't the type to openly do the same, Alura had already discovered a handful of ways she could make the catgirl smile.

Johan's response in relation to what manner of spit would look the funniest in his hair has Alura shooting him a little grin. "Well fairies are better than orcs after all, so it's only natural our spit would be to. Though as far as it looking funny, perhaps it'd be best to share you the humiliation of being seen with spit in your hair, and just keep you nice and safe inside a fairy tum." She teases, sticking her cute little pink out at their pseudo leader. The fae turning her attention to Lea in turn to add, "our tummies would be better than orc tum too, and definitely better than fish tums." The pink haired fairy pauses a moment, thrusting her dexterous digits against the hard wood of the table rhythmically as she ponders something. "Can't really say I'm too familiar with fishy things though, had a few ponds close by growing up, and I learned really quickly how to dodge a frog girl's tongue....water things like to be sneaky you see, and not in the good way like fairies." Alura explains, failing to explain what the difference in good and bad sneaky exactly meant "So I think their tummies would be bad kinds of sneaky places as well." Alura states matter of factly.

Cyria getting up along with the majority of the others draws a short lived little frown from the fairy. She'd been enjoying the chance to sit and talk, and listen in to all that was being said. " Wait...you can make your own clothes Cyria? And out of silk? Oooooh he you should come stay with Anastasia and I when she's growing our outfits! Wonder what kind of dazzling attire the combination could create!" Alura's wings begin beating faster and faster just considering the idea. As despite wearing an ensemble made up entirely of plant life, it was clear the elder of the fae sisters was one who appreciated fashion, always striving to look and smell her best, even after taking a trip into someone's tummy.

The spell book Cyria offers her, derails her thought process from spider silk and fashion. "Oh lubricant....and you factored in flavor? Fascinating!" Alura beams as she idly leafs through several of the pages. "I don't have this one I'll admit...though shrinking, that's a fairy tradition, may even be able to teach you a few fae tricks in that regard." The fairy concludes, shooting the spider girl a playful, yet appreciative wink as she closes the spell book.

It isn't until Tina has returned that Alura looks up again from her beverage, the fairy working on finishing as she may not have the chance to do so before the night is through, and slipping out into the woods at night in search of berries was not a very appealing option. When their bubbly little waitress returns however, Alura smiles warmly in greeting, keeping her glimmering eyes glued to the young human girl as she practically dances around the table. The menu she'd delivered Sasara is of no interest to the fairy, rather she busies herself drinking in the image of Tina. She really was quite pretty, a sparkling gem hidden among the rabble of this rugged town. Her personality was rather infections as well, and fell perfectly inline with Alura's own upbeat demeanor. Of course the fae could not avoid gazing longingly at the girl's breasts, though she'd not called attention to them earlier, as most of those in her party had, Alura had to admit they were quite impressive. For a human who'd never eaten anything more menacing than a sandwich, she was quite blessed that much was certain.

Feeling the warm embrace of Tina's arms enfolding around her from behind, and the softness of her breasts resting gently against her shoulders, Alura lets out a soft little sigh. "Indeed I am serious, this is what you want, and it's what your going to get. You did a great job serving us, and now i shall do a great job serving myself, to you." she explains, giggling a little at the manner she worded it. "Of course we can do anything you want really, can get to know each other a little first perhaps, make it a little date, and ease our way into the meal. I am curious to hear about your life, and it's only natural i learn as much as I can about the one who's body I'm about to spend some quality time in."

Alura wasn't the type who was ever eager to find herself within the belly of another, and while she'd enjoyed her stay inside Yumina a great deal... she wasn't doing this entirely for herself. She genuinely wanted to sate the curiosity of the cute human girl, and if that meant offering herself up as a meal, so be it. She'd managed to survive the powerful embrace of a skilled predator's stomach earlier that day after all, what's the worse this little barmaid's could do to her?

Glancing around the table at those who were leaving, and those who were staying, Tina taking a seat and scooting in close to her, Alura murmurs "Perhaps you'd like to go somewhere, a little more private?" the fairy offers, as she wasn't exactly prepared to make a show for the entire establishment, and didn't want the entirety of their little group there watching either. If it was Tina's first time she'd most likely be nervous, so any wan the fae could work to relax her would make the entire process go all the more smoothly.

[DissociatedChaos]

With a last little bit of banter between a few of the girls at the table, and a number of their group heading to the first suite, Lea found herself growing ever more eager for what was to come. She wasn't all that great at doing too much physical stuff out in public in a room like they were in, but the moment they were behind closed doors, she fully intended to start showering the fairies and Meera with all the love and attention she could manage. Possibly see about having some fun with Tina, too, given she'd be joining them for at least a while, and possibly staying the night with them all. As all of the very, very many ideas of everything she could and would try to get to do with the other girls spun through her head, she happily blamed Mary for just how lewd her mind was getting. She would need to make sure to get her a gift as thanks.

Giggling at Meera's antics, Lea shook her head. “Alright, well if I ever get eaten by a fish of any sort, I'll be trusting you to eat them back for me, alright?” she teased. “Though I'd be more than happy to try visiting your belly myself sometime and seeing how much squirming I can do. You can rate me against previous occupants to see how good I am, maybe. I'll just expect to be let out so I can hear how good I was and get any suggestions on how to do better. Not to mention so that I can go in again later, and see how well I do at making kitty specialists happy in other ways, of course.” The warmth of the drink in her stomach was quickly working on leaving Lea's inhibitions dropping just a bit quicker than normal, even for her. Not that she considered herself to have too terribly many of them once she got used to some people.

Alura's comment about fairy bellies had her closing her eyes, ever so briefly, to imagine what it might be like. The mischievous gleam on the fairy had her heart beating a bit faster, and her breath coming a bit quicker as well. “Definitely better to be a fairy snack than fish food. So if you're closer to a fish that tries eating me, feel free to introduce her to your belly instead. Or, you know... if you ever just want some fun with me, I wouldn't mind seeing how tight it is in there. Help you practice plenty, too. You can even feel free to show me 'good sneaky' whenever you want, Alura. You and your sister both~” She might be inviting some humiliation and trouble, but she looked forward to it all the same. Maybe the fairy would show off some of her magic that was more useful outside of a fight, while she was at it.

Finally, giving a grin to Yumina, Lea pulled out her second key she had for her room, and tossed it onto her rather large stomach. “Feel free to show up quicker if you want, and I'll take over for Alura on rubbing that belly of yours for a bit. Along with anything else you might want me to do to make sure you can sleep well before I head out to join the others. Though I probably won't stay in my room too long before heading over to the suite. Just enough to get all my stuff... and maybe a few extra minutes to see if you're coming for some fun before I play berry-girl for Anastasia and all.” She winked at Yumina, giggling softly as she turned to walk away to her room, letting her body sway a bit. Placing her legs in front of each other and putting just a bit of extra movement into her hips, she had her ass moving as hypnotically as she could manage while she moved, her leathers and clothing hugging her tight, and some small string ties at the back of her leathers hanging to sway right over her butt.

She gracefully moved around the other patrons as she headed into the hall towards her room, licking her lips without looking back to see if Yumina had decided to follow or not. Either way, she'd have some fun with at least one of the two felines, not to mention some of the other adorable girls in her new group. She couldn't wait. She was almost giddy, starting to bounce on her feet as she turned out of sight, quickly walking right to her room and pressing her hand to the knob. She had it half-way open before even remembering she had left it locked. Clearly, that drink had been a bit more potent than she'd expected. Still, the sight she was greeted with didn't have her reaching for one of her concealed daggers.

Quite the opposite, really.

She stood in the doorway, staring at the the maid above the mostly untouched bed. Lea's eyes roamed slowly along the shape of the cat girl's butt, tracing along her panties and up to her tail, before traveling back down once again to her fuzzy looking rump and the hint of what was hidden under the black panties. The overly short maid's skirt and her high socks only seemed to draw even more attention to the graceful curves of her body, and the firm thighs. She watched as the girl straightened the sheet, stepping forward just an inch at the swaying of her hips, before the cat girl stood up and turned to face her.

Lea had a few weaknesses, she'd admit. Foxes, wolves, cats, fairies, and plenty of others as well. Ultimately, they could be boiled down to a love of soft and fluffy looking fur, a love of wild things, a love of anything cute, and a simple joy reserved for anything magical and fantastical. The fairies filled two of those easily, with a slight hint of a third. Yumina filled two as well, though she was a bit less on the super cute side, for all that the fur was certainly soft and fluffy. Meera was cute, wild, and had a bit of the adorable fur and such, too. But the cat girl in front of her was soft all over, with a wild hint to her look even under the maid outfit, and an exact distillation of nearly everything that Lea found adorable. To an extent, the maid outfit clearly designed with fantasies in mind even filled that fourth one some, if in a different way than the fairies.

In short, she hit nearly all of Lea's points that she could think of through the fuzz of her drink all at once, when it came to appearance and how she carried herself. She swallowed, hard, especially as she saw the toothy grin and heard the last suggestion that the maid had. She also added 'mischievous looking' to her list of weaknesses to check off. “N-no inconvenience at all!” she quickly assured the girl, even as she looked over her again now that her front was visible.

Small, well formed breasts that she wanted to test how they felt with that fur on them, a stomach that she could imagine laying her head on too perfectly, and a face that was to die for. Another small piece of her heart flung itself to latch onto a person in an instant girlish crush. She might get those far too easily and in far too great quantities, but she didn't like trying to deny herself things after how she grew up, constantly denied so much. “Uh, actually, I was just going to be grabbing my stuff for in case I didn't come back to this room in the morning. I met up with a group I'll be working with, and some of the other girls and I were going to be... getting to know each other better tonight. Though we already have one of the waitresses joining for something with one of the two fairies in my group. I'm sure no one would mind if you wanted to join in, too!”

She was slightly split between keeping her plans she already made, and just throwing herself at the cat girl in front of her for the entire night. The only thing stopping her from doing that really was the thought of how much fun she'd be having watching Alura let herself get eaten, and getting to tease Anastasia into practicing eating her. Oh, and Meera being a ball of fun. All of that was juuuuust enough that she was hesitating on it. Though offering to let her come with was something she wouldn't pass up. Then again, they might not mind if she was a bit late... or she could meet up with the maid later on. She'd have other opportunities to do things with the others. But doing them in a nice inn rather than on the road would be a better way to start off her relations with the group. But at the same time, the maid wouldn't be coming with them for fun later...

Sasara

“Uweee!” Sasara squeals in delight. “Bath~ I’m gonna have a bath~” she says, immediately slithering over to it and beginning to run the water. Without a trace of modesty, she strips out of her clothes, and begins to wipe her grimy body down with the cloth. “Then sex,” she says, eyeing both Johan and Cyria with undisguised lust - even in their current, road-and-battle-worn states…

[sansuki]

"Such a lack of faith, Cyria," Johan says. "I'm confident we'll be able to find you breakfast withouth aving to pay a copper for the privilege. Naji's group aren't the only bandits with more ambition than sense, and besides that we might be heading through some quite hostile territory." Patting the drider's shoulder as she banters with the newest addition to their party, when Cyria turns herr grin to him he grins right back (albeit with less prepossessing dentition!). "There's nothing wrong with a healthy respect for tradition. I'd be honored," he decalres as they head down to their room. "And if she waits too long, that would... spoil a surprise, hmm?" Sasara joins them as well, and Johan puts another hand on the other mercenary's should and gives it a matching squeeze. "I've had quite a bit of fun in... rooms... a lot smaller than any this hotel has to offer, so I'm not worried about space. I do hope the walls are thick. Hate to have people complain about us." As they pass, he says just loud enough to be pretending to be quiet, "And I'm sure future guests wouldn't mind a few cobwebs here and there!"

Once they enter the room, Johan laughs. "Well, I can't fault the quality received for the price. Almost big enough to make you forget they didn't bother with fancy decorations, isn't it?" He walks around the room, nose flaring and tracing fingers lightly over the curtains and furnishings and looking at his fingertips. "The maid knows her business, at least. Hope we don't put the poor thing to too much trouble when we leave," he says, blithely unaware that Lea was making her own acquaintance of said maid elsewhere. "And three beds? How very... pessimistic," he decides to finish the sentence. "I should hope we won't be using all of them." Continuing on past the bathroom, he laughs at the odd toilet. "And isn't that an elegant solution to a multi-species clientele? Well, I certainly hope neither of you feel a need to introduce me to the inner workings of that before we leave." Finishing the tour, he stands and admires the naga as she strips down and hurls herself into the large tub. "Well, you might want to hurry," he teases, "Or I might not be in any shape- or location- to oblige. Oh! That reminds me," he says, looking at the closed door. "I was going to surprise her with this, but... Naji's been doing well, and my attempts to train her stomach to hold onto food have hit a bit of plateau. I'm just too good at getting out," Johan says without shame or modesty. "Since the orc won't really fetch us anything, I was going to give her to Naji as a gift- first live meal, I think, though she hasn't much talked about her lack of success before meeting me. I figure with Drodjee starting out bound, and with the three of us all in the room with her, there's no way she can fail to digest that bandit. And," he says with a half-grin, "If she spends the night slowly melting her first meal down *and* enjoying- maybe even participating- in the show, our dear drow quartermaster might not have a fit if the cost of shipboard passage is on the high side."

With that, he quickly and efficiently strips off his armor, putting it all in a neat pile in a corner. Rather than head over to the tub with Sasara, though, he simply uses the washbasin and starts quickly swiping off the grime, pass by pass, down his body. "I'm afraid if I got in there with you," he teases, "I'd end up with my mind on doing other things than washing- and so would you. Like you said, first cleaning, then fun, yeah?" Reaching down, he wets down another rag and tosses it over to Cyria. "I'd offer your 'guest' a rag personally, but I think it'd be a bit of a lost cause to try to clean her up by now."

[ambrose-euanthe]

Sasara

“Naji could use a good meal,” I agree. “And I could do without our morning scolding, so, yes. And…” I smile in appreciation, as something tastily attractive is revealed beneath the grime by Johan’s ministrations.

Idly, I sort through the provided bath-oils - and, making my selection, I slip it into the water. Meanwhile, covered by the distraction, the tip of my tail stretches out to catch him around his cute butt. “Let’s get that ass in here, hmm?” I invite, dragging him right into the bath with me.

There’s a definite scent, rising from the bath now, mingling with mine and Johan’s. “Mint,” I explain. “Goes well with savoury and sweet. Don’t you agree, Cyria…?” I wave my tail-tip invitingly at her...

[sansuki]

It isn't that Johan wasn't expecting something to drag him away from the washbasin, per se. It was just that he'd braced for a sticky bit of silk between the bare shoulder blades, and not a thin tracery of scaly tail around his hips. Still, with great presence of mind, he sets the rag on the edge of the basin even as Sasara's tail drags him closer to the bath. He doesn't leave his feet, nor does he seem unduly bothered by the tail; instead, half-walking and half-waddling in, he reaches the edge without Sasara having to exert much effort at all. Stepping into the bath, he lowers himself down into the water before the tail can make a second circuit around his body. "Mint's good," he says. "I tend to think- given some of the comments I've had- that berries go better with me, though I wouldn't say that too loudly near our faerie friends." Sliding over inside the tub, he starts 'scrubbing' the naga's upper body with his hands, though it's a thinly veiled excuse for 'groping with wet fingers' by now. Lounging in the bath, he adds, "Key thing is, I suppose, not to overdo... much of any flavor. I hear people are too good almost universally to want to ruin them with too much, mm- sauce?"

Oddly enough, as he says that, his stomach growls very, very softly, leading to a brief look of bemusement before he goes back to making sure every inch of the naga's been covered with that nice, minty, warm water.

[Jermayan]

Looking around the room as they enter, Cyria is more than a little impressed by the accommodations. “You know, I never would have expected that there was a place like this here. I’m still not that enthused about the town itself, but whoever recommended this inn certainly knows what they’re doing.”

Giggling a bit as Sasara makes her priorities obvious and practically dives into the tub, Cyria stacks her pack and other belongings next to the larger bed before joining Johan at the basin. Pulling off her top and tossing it back by the bed, she takes the offered rag and starts cleaning away the dust and dirt of the road. “Mmm, between the three of us we should have no difficulty getting the orc to stay put, and seeing her reaction to finally getting a full meal will be worth all the effort.” As she reaches the limit of what parts of her body she can realistically reach with her hands, Cyria gives a quick incantation and a third appears in midair, translucent and glowing. Directing it with one hand, Cyria grins as she uses it to get the rag around the back of her abdomen. “One of the definite upsides of being a magic-user; trying to do this normally is just about impossible without someone else to help.”

Cyria doesn’t quite catch Johan’s abrupt departure for the bath until she looks over and notices him already halfway there with Sasara’s tail wrapped around his midsection. Slowly ambling over with a smile on her face, she takes a deep breath as the scent of the oil starts to spread through the room. “Mint goes well with a lot of things, but Johan’s got a point. Barring magical means, I haven’t really found anything that would be worth trying to truly slather someone in before a meal. An acquaintance at the school where I used to study at mentioned encountering a group of naga who would essentially marinate their meals in various substances for up to a day beforehand if they got the chance, but that kind of thing isn’t really practical in most situations.”

Carefully easing herself into the tub behind Johan, between Sasara and herself even the oversized tub is just about entirely filled. Of course, all that this really meant was that it forced Johan between the two of them, and Cyria wasted no time in running her hands across his shoulders and back, much as he was doing for Sasara. “Well, if we’re going to be giving Naji her treat, it would be rather rude if you weren’t able to help her with that, so I suppose that Sasara and I will need to amuse ourselves some other way until she arrives…”

((Been horribly sick for the last couple weeks, so don't expect my posts to be anything spectacular. x3 It's hard to focus on them. Hopefully, will get 'to form' soon enough! ))

At the table...

It seemed an impossibility that Tina could smile any brighter, her soft lips spread practically from one ear to the other. She really did look out of place in the relatively grungy town - her features were so soft and feminine, bordering on 'cute', with soft-looking cheeks, bright eyes, and long hair that was wrapped up into a pony tail. Yet, it was more her innocent demeanor that made her stand out all the more - how she'd come to work in such a place was anyone's guess. Nevertheless, when Alura continues to praise her 'serving ability', a faint flush rises to her cheeks, though her gaze remains firmly planted on Alura "I'm glad I did a good job. This sort of thing is all I've really known my entire life - was bound to get it down sooner or later."

Tina's embrace was every bit as soft as the girl's personality, and more and more Alura found the girl's soft breasts squeezing against her shoulder and arm, an inviting warmth after the walk in the cool night air that got them to the Gilded Rose "A little date? Haha - that sounds wonderful!" Even her scent was enticing, and though faint, the slightest hint of lavender tickles Alura's senses, even amidst the...less pleasant smells that tended to accompany the night-time at any tavern "Really, there's not a whole lot to my life. Mistress Vashra bought me...um...six years ago, I guess? I've been here for all of that time. She said I was 'free to do whatever I want', but...I like it here. Before that.." She purses her lips slightly, thinking for a few seconds "As a girl, I was a scullery maid for the mayor. I'm not sure what I did to displease him, but he put me up for sale. U-um...I'm REALLY glad Lady Vashra got me. The other alternatives..." She shivers slightly, though the bright, cheery look on her face never falters. It's easy enough to image the 'other alternatives'. Slavery seemed decently common in the Port, and it seemed easy enough for a slave to be come someone's dinner on a whim - especially one with no practical combat experience.

"Awww, that's so sad..." Meera speaks up, leaning forward onto the table as much as her elf-filled stomach would allow "...But...what's a scullery, and why does it need a maid?"

Rolling her eyes, Yumina - no longer under the attention of Alura's hands - once more props her foot up onto the table, muttering "Means she washed dishes an' things of that nature, numbskull. Might as well say she was a kitchen worker. Did whatever who ran it needed doing."

Ears flattening at the little insult, Meera casts a steely little glance at Yumina, who largely ignores it. Finally exhaling a little sigh, she quips "Oh, so like...dishes and stuff. That doesn't sound so bad! I actually used to live in a monastery! Um, not one of those...um...churchy ones, but one dedicated to fighting! Mind over body and all that stuff." Bringing her fists up, Meera cheerily fisticuffs some invisible opponent on the table before her "Was all 'Hooo!' and 'Haaaa!'. I didn't learn much of that stuff, but they taught me...um...I dunno, lotsa stuff! Course, the head honcho didn't like me a whole lot. Said 'Often, an empty vessel is easiest to teach...but your vessel is cracked." I dunno what he meant, but they kinda kicked me out. Said I ate too much. Jerks." Ears wilting, the catgirl settles herself back in her chair, lightly drumming her fingers upon her belly "Still, I was really good at hittin' stuff. All in the wrists and stuff!"

"Well, you seem nice!" Tina exclaims, shooting Meera one of those bright little smiles "...Seems like they're missing out, and your new friends are thankful to have you!" Meera instantly perks up, nodding enthusiastically, her voice filled with excitement "Yeah! And I'm a specialist now! Kitty specialist. Doing things that...are special!"

Leaning in close to Alura, Tina whispers with a little giggle "She's too cute."

Mention of 'getting somewhere more private' prompts Tina to get up from her seat, still smiling "Oh! Yes! Um, Suite 2, I think, would be best! It'll fit all of us, even if we'll have to doubt up in beds. There's...let's see..." Pointing at Chrystanthemum, Anatasia, Anya, and Meera in turn, she nods "Well, if the big cat is going to another room, should be six of us in there...the drow and orc is going to join the others ,right?"

"Naji." Naji says simply, taking another long draw from her now half-empty wineglass "And yes. I've intentions of joining them as soon as I finish my drink. It's been a long day. A good drink and a little relaxation are in order before...well, knowing those three, night-time shenanigans can commence. Don't be surprised if only one or two of us walk outta that room in the morning. An' I'm not exaggerating. " Running her tongue along the lip of her wineglass to gather up a few missed drops, Naji casts Drogjee a 'look', noting the longing in her eyes as he sipped a little more wine.

Grabbing Alura's hands, Tina gently tugs her to her feet, pulling her away from the table "The others can join us when they're ready! Um...let's go to the room, shall we?"

************************************************************************************

Suite 2

As many of the other rooms in the Gilded Rose were, the room was sparsely decorated, but cozy. The beds - of which there were three, all human-sized - were clean and neatly arranged, with soft and warm-looking sheets and a folded up blanket at the foot of the bed, lest it get a bit chilly during the night.

The room is only sparsely lit by two candles on a small desk, and a brightly burning hooded lantern nestled into the far right corner of the room, closest to the trio of beds. A small, brass tub sat proudly in the middle of the left side of the room, it's intricate series of fill and drain pipes disappearing into the floor.

It was 'Nice'. Nothing fancy by any means, but it was comfortable and clean, certainly more than could have been expected at other establishments in the town.

Pulling Alura into the room, Tina gestures with a wave of her hand to it's interior, chest puffed up with pride "What do you think? We've got some of the nicest rooms in the whole town! Lil' more expensive, but trust me - you don't get better than this, even in most homes. We have two maids that tend to ALL the rooms - takes them ages, but they do a wonderful job. W-well, um...did you want to take a little bath or anything before...we did...well, y'know. I'm...really no good at this whole 'leading up to' thing. This is pretty much the first 'date' I've been on. Oh, you hear the romance and stuff that goes into it, but...well, how much of that happens?"

[CassyInko]

((Still not feeling super wondrous, so sorry if these posts are a little more 'meh' than normal. x3 Will hopefully pick back up soon. ))

Room 104...


Tami couldn't help but let her eyes roam over Lea once more, a look of silent appreciation dancing in her eyes. Human. A bit taller than her. Certainly a little more 'built' in all the right places, at least comparable to her size. It was not too terribly often that she met someone who instantly struck her fancy the way Lea did, but she had to admit - she was cute. Not to mention, she looked absolutely delicious. Trying to resist the urge to lick her lips, Tami stepped forwards a little, closing the distance between her and the human girl was a little exaggerated sway of her hips "Oh! You've got yourself another room, then?" She lifts a finger to her chin, lightly tapping it "Pity - I've been tidying up this one. Shame it'll go to waste..."

She could practically FEEL Lea's eyes upon her, and - content to show off to such prying eyes - she leans forwards just slightly, pulling her arms together a little in front, which in turn presses her breasts together, forming just a little bit of cleavage. Though not as impressively endowed by any means as Tina, her breasts were still nice and plump, covered with a thin later of soft, warm-looking fur that practically begged to be touched "Friends, then? Oh, no no...I could not intrude. I don't do well in large groups.." Tami's tail twitched slightly in amusement - she'd...honestly be quite interested in getting to know the human a little more, but too many was a crowd - and she didn't do crowds. Still, it was at least pleasant to know that Lea's thoughts were....somewhat in line with her own.

Lust at first sight was an appropriate term, perhaps. She'd been reprimanded MANY times by Lady Vashra about letting her...more mischievous side control her thoughts, but it was just so fun, and generally tended to feel...quite nice. Nothing to end a good day like a nice, body-shaking orgasm or two...and, perhaps, a full stomach to top it all off, giving her a full night of delight. No - maybe, just maybe, she could coax this one a little bit more...

Again stepping forward, Tami places a hand upon Lea's stomach, peering up into her eyes with that same, wild little smile, showing off the tips of her mouthful of tiny, sharp teeth "Though....maybe I could help you get cleaned up a little before you go?" Stepping around Lea's side, the little feline maid eases an arm around her waist, eventually ending up behind her, hugging her softly "...It's not completely in our job description, but a cutey like you...I'd LOVE getting...cleaned up. What do you say...? Hmm-hmm...though, we might get dirty before we get you cleaned..." Hardly waiting for Lea's response, the maid reaches her other arm around her from the back, pressing herself against Lea's back. With dexterous fingers, she begins to fiddle with Lea's belt, and within a matter of seconds, she has it undone, her fingers already moving towards her pants "Maybe a nice bath, mm? Or, I could always give you a good scrub-down...or if you're really good, a tongue-bath. I've heard I'm quite proficient with those..."

[DissociatedChaos]

– – – Room 104 – – –

Lea knew that she should be grabbing her stuff and just going to the suite to join the others... but she was loathe to leave without at least seeing about setting up some more fun a bit later with the maid she had found. Alura already had a maid of her own after all, so Lea certainly didn't think that anyone would be upset if she wanted to play with the cat girl she had found before they left. Still, it was a shame that she didn't like groups. That would have neatly solved all of Lea's problems at the moment. She bit at her lower lip as she watched every movement that the lithe little maid made, eyes drawn down to her swaying hips with all the inevitability of the sun rising.

“Well, the room won't be going to waste, at least,” she assured the girl, eyes unblinking as she let her stare move to the small breasts pushed together. “One of our other people was planning to use this room since it'll be empty. She needs to sleep off a couple bandits that made the mistake of letting her get close to them.” She smiled, shifting in place under the feline's scrutiny. She unconsciously tried pushing her chest out a bit more, and cocking her hips to the side to emphasize them some as she stood. “She's a cat like you, but taller, and no where near as cute,” she flirted.

She leaned on a foot, as though trying to get herself to move but still finding herself rooted to the spot. Her eyes wandered to the girl's tail, before she felt a furred hand press against the leather armor over her stomach. She swallowed, looking back down as the cat girl grinned up at her, feeling like she could just drown in her eyes. Not to mention how Lea felt about the cat girl's body. She smiled wider as she heard the offer, with the maid slipping around to her back. “Ah... well, I certainly wouldn't mind meeting up with you after tonight, and I'd certainly need some cleaning after some of what I have planned with my group,” she said. Despite that, she didn't stop the cat girl undoing her belt, and pushed her butt back into the cat girl's hips, gently rubbing against her thighs. “Though... it might be a good idea to make sure I'm nice and clean for them. Possibly. Though I would want to try to make it fairly quick...” She was clearly hesitant to leave, hesitant to try to pull away, and very much tempted to just see where things went before rejoining her group.

Slowly, she reached a hand down to lay on the feline's hand, fingers rubbing against her fur lightly, and running over her fingers and knuckles. “By the way, I'm Lea,” she introduced, shifting her back against the cat girl's front, leaning into the grip. Idly, she twisted about to try to look back at the maid, leaning her head against her as her neck brushed against the cat girl's lips. Even just from that tiny touch, her taste lingered, pressing inwards almost like a living thing. Lea had asked how she tasted to Mary before once, but all she had gotten was a reply of 'good enough to savor and keep coming back for more of.' She wondered how the feline would describe her taste, with the light taste of her rose and berry soap, the sweat of the day, and her natural flavors.

[ambrose-euanthe]

Sasara

“You’ll go just fine with mint, Johan,” Sasara smiles. “Trust a girl who knows. S-seasoning should be taken in stride,” she agrees, squirming under his powerful, knowledgeable hands. “Such a savage to want your meat raw,” she giggles. “Brute.” Then, as your stomach growls. “Oh, is all this seasoning making your mouth water after all…?” She teases.

“Such an uncivilised world we live in,” Sasara agrees. “Where a girlsnake can’t even marinate her meals. Mmm…” she hums in delight, as Cyria’s body joins theirs in the now-tight confines of the tub. “Johan?” She asks. “Is this what it’s like to be in a stomach?”

[sansuki]

Eyeballing Cyria's prestidigitation as she uses it to clean, Johan says, "Don't think that's the spectral hand I'm most interested by right now, after what you did to that lizardess. Seems a bit out of sorts, you doing that, yeah? Figure it's to do with that... other place we all went. Maybe the people we met. Something very weird is going on," he adds, "And don't think I'm not thinking about it just because..." he gestures at his own naked body. "Makes a man wonder what else other people who were over there might be able to do with the proper motivation. Did you just think it?" Once they're all in the tub- and even as large as it is, it's a little cramped- he snickers at a bit of water overtopping the sides of the bath from a sudden movement. "Careful- I've got a lot less mass and volume than either of you. Matters, for a bath." Taking the chance to give both women equal opportunity 'help washing' and twisting and turning around a lot between them, he adds, "Marinating for an entire day? ...sounds fun. I mean, if you had a book to read or something while you were marinating. Probably they wouldn't be used to helpful suggestions on what to add to the broth." Not responding to the 'some other way' Cyria mentions, Johan continues on, "Practical, though, is for during a fight. When you're not in a fight, you can afford to be-" He takes a deep breath and submerges himself in the minty water for a few seconds before coming back up and finishing, "-decadent?"

Turning back towards Sasara, he snickers. "All I'm saying is when I eat a steak, I don't want any sauce on it, distracts from the quality of the meat. I'd figure people'd be the same way, though I don't have any experience with that. Me, I'm just a humble human who might, MIGHT be able to stretch around something small like a halfling," Johan demurs, "Or a... mouse." Blinking a few times as his stomach growls and the naga teases him, he pats his stomach with a somewhat bemused look. "...I'll admit, ever since we came back, I've had a bit of an appetite. Even while that orc was groping me, I was wondering what it'd be like on the outside instead of the inside." He grudgingly says the words, as though he were admitting to some peculiar perversion instead of his normal state being the fringe point of view. "...doubt I'll be growing another limb like Cyria did, though, and while I'm pretty sure I can outwrestle, say, Naji I don't have much faith in my own stomach. And, of course, little as I am I'd barely be able to move. It's not-" He pauses, and blinks a few times before wincing. "-practical."

When Sasara her last question, Johan breaks into a relieved grin as he returns to more familiar ground. "Oh, not quite. Actually, if you look at it physically, being in a stomach's not much fun at all. It's too hot, the walls try to force you to bend and contort more than you'd like, it's deafeningly loud- it practically takes training to be able to relax. And that's before you feel the itching of acid trying to melt you down," he says. "This is far more pleasant when you look at it that way." Johan pauses, and adds, "The fun of being inside a stomach's on a- different level. Being inside someone, knowing that if you stay, you'll die- knowing that the second someone's teeth closed around your feet or head or whatever's last in, you stopped being a person and you started being food, just waiting to be turned into extra padding on whoever's around you. Knowing that you're only going to be a person again if you get yourself out or if you get freed, and either way, continuing to live is a gift from someone else or to yourself- the rush is... intense." He seems to be distracted by little internal thoughts, and reaches down below the water to adjust himself.

[XarcesTheDelicious]

Alura is surprised when to hear about Tina's past, for such a cute and innocent girl to nearly be sold into slavery, why just the thought alone was enough to cause the fairy to frown. Alura herself had not been acquainted with such a notion as slavery before leaving the forest, such a thing was unheard of in her own society. Even so she'd picked up on the notion quick enough, and the thought of Tina suffering so caused her heart to sink. Furthermore she couldn't possibly fathom a reason the mayor would of opted to get rid of Tina, regardless, Alura was thankful she seemed to have landed in good hands and was doing well for herself considering her surroundings. Instead of voicing her opinions on Tina's history, Alura merely expresses herself by settling in more snugly against the girl's bosom. Gently shifting her gossamer wings against Tina's body. The fairy deciding it best not to focus on the negatives, and bring the mood down further by asking questions about that era of the girl's past.

Meera's own recollection of her past , catches the fae's attention. She hadn't asked the kitty specialist much about her life before she took on the mantle of mercenary, though she had been curious to get a chance to know more about the newest member of their little trio. As the catgirl speaks, things started to make more sense to Alura. It certainly went along way to explain how Meera had come to be so proficient with both grappling and guarding while unarmed, Alura recalling her brief encounter with the hammer wielding pig girl. As Meera's story comes to a close Alura speaks up cheerfully "Your good at hitting things for sure, but your even better at being our kitty specialist Meera! An' if you'd stayed in that stuffy monastery you wouldn't of been able to meet Anastasia and I!"

Alura lets out a little giggle as her own cheery interjection is mirrored by Tina's own, even Meera chimes in on the subject of being a kitty specialist which has the fae beaming all the more brightly. Tina, seemed a good fit, just as Meera had been for her and her sister. The giggling little whisper from Tina is met with a subtle little nod on Alura's behalf. Meera was indeed cute, and deadly to boot. A perfect combination for a kitty specialist if ever there was one!

As the conversations wrap up, Tina standing from the table, taking Alura by the hand to lead her to their room, the fairy turns to wave at those remaining at the table. Before lifting several inches in the air and fluttering along behind the barmaid. "Ooooh I'm so excited!" Alura explains, keeping close to the girl as she's led from the table.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Drifting into the room behind Tina, Alura is pleased with what she sees. Though it was no where near as cozy as the homes in her village, she appreciated the interior, appreciated the fact they were no were near as grubby as the rest of the town, and the tub itself came as an added surprise, despite having heard them discussed earlier at the table. Turning to Tina Alura smiles "It's beautiful, though nowhere as beautiful as you!" Leaning in the fae places a soft little kiss upon the human girl's cheek. "Your first date? then we absolutely must make it a special one! First date, and first meal, your going to be the happiest human alive by the end of the night!" Alura boasts, fluttering forward into the room, gently maintaining her grip on the barmaid's hand as she leads her over toward one of the beds. "We can do whatever you want Tina, we've got all night! and if you think a bath would help before the meal, I'd be very interested in seeing how it all works." Alura declares looking towards the tub, then back to the girl. "I tend to keep myself clean with magic on the go, so am not as in need of cleaning as someone in my line of work would otherwise be. But I'm all for the opportunity. Leaning in close to the girl Alura whispers "While getting your wings all wet in the wild can make it hard to escape a would be predator... in this case it's entirely my goal to end up inside you." the fae finishes with a wink, reaching out to gently pat Tina's tum.

After looking back to the tub, then Tina once more Alura gingerly nibbles her lower lip. Reaching out to place her hands upon the girl's hips, she murmurs "How about we start by getting you out of those clothes Tina? Your off duty after all and we wouldn't want to damage your work attire once your belly expands now would we?" Alura explains, while gingerly pinching the fabric of Tina's clothing between her fingers and gently tugging it upwards, working it up and over her head if the girl allows her. "My own clothing you'll find is made entirely of plant life...though I will be more than happy to take it off if you desire." she adds. The fairy was eager to see Tina's naked body, though the thought of her eating her with her work uniform on had it's own appeal, especially a scenario where she went back to work while Alura was still in her tummy.

“Yes, that wasn’t exactly something from my normal list of spells earlier. I’m still not entirely sure how it works, but it seemed to come out as some sort of response to me focusing on the feeling of Viera being linked to me...I’m not sure if you had a similar feeling, or perhaps if it was with Disa instead. It’s something that intend to investigate more, but that’s a pursuit for a time when we have more free time on our hands.” There was a definite note of curiosity in Cyria’s voice, but at the same time she wasn’t sure exactly how to go about that kind of investigation; growing twelve-foot ectoplasmic tentacles out of her body was hardly discreet.

Johan’s mention of his eating preferences in regards to steak get a bit of a giggle from her, and she goes back to soaping up his back as he continues into more hypothetical territory. “Mmm, size is certainly a concern - not everyone can stretch like Sasara can. The lizardgirl from earlier was about all that I can manage as well, at least the normal way. Of course, if you ever do feel the inclination and the opportunity presents itself, there is always the growth spell that I used on Yumina. I’m sure that, even with your inexperience in that regard, being ten feet tall will help with that significantly.”

His description of the feelings and some of the psychology behind being a semi-willing meal brings some of her earlier blush back to her face. She had never thought about it in that regard, but she supposed that it’s not something that you could really understand unless you had experienced it already. “Being on the outside is similar, I suppose, but it’s a different kind of rush. Instead of being reduced to food, you’ve done it to someone else, and it’s...well, it’s a power trip, to be honest. Of course, there’s also the fact that there’s nothing quite like the feeling of someone squirming around inside you but doing nothing except giving you an enjoyable evening.”

“Speaking of…” Pushing forward, she presses herself up against Johan’s back, which in turn presses him more tightly up against Sasara. Reaching around his front, one hand starts to lazily slide over his chest before it starts to dip down towards his waistline. “Naji will be on her way eventually, and she doesn’t seem like the person to antagonize by enjoying her man in front of her. Besides, there’s only so much teasing I’ll put up with when I have a nice, muscular, scrumptious-looking guy like you in front of me and a girl like Sasara on the other side.”

Sasara

"I'm past the point where I'm willing to be teased too, Johan," I say, leaning past him, pressing my lips against Cyria's... either pair which could so easily swallow him down. "Want him inside of you first?" I murmur to Cyria, as the kiss breaks...

Returning Sasara's kiss, Cyria purses her lips and sucks gently, pulling Sasara's tongue forward until it's intertwined with hers before she finally pulls back. "Mmm, I suppose that depends on what you mean by inside...but no, you go ahead." Reaching down with her other hand, she fishes the very tip of Sasara's tail out of the water and starts toying with it, giving Sasara a coy look as she does so. "I'm sure I'll be able to keep myself occupied until you finish...assuming that there's anything of him left for me by then."
