Blanche cocks her head as Selvaria tries to explain why she knows nothing about where Vitra is or how she got there, but seemingly decides not to push the subject any further. She instead focuses on the Blob and Selvaria, staring into her eyes. “Hmm, but if we didn’t let adorable things into fights, you couldn’t fight either~” she said, smiling as she stroked Selvaria’s head softly, seemingly gathering what Selvaria meant by that. When Selvaria tells her that she’s not, then calls Blanche adorable, she smiles even wider and slides her hand down to Selvaria cheek, stroking it very gently “Aw, that’s so sweet of you, my lady~” she says, before cocking her head “Hmm? You’re really tense, Selvy. Do you mind if I help with that?” she says, seemingly forgetting the Blob temporarily, but she doesn’t wait for an answer, she instead lowers her hands to Selvaria’s shoulders and begins massaging them incredibly skillfully and gently, while a pleasant feeling passes through Selvaria’s mind, only becoming more pleasant as Selvaria gazes into Blanche’s eyes and her smile. “You should think of one, yes~ hmm perhaps give it a name fitting it’s happy and friendly nature~?” she says, sweetly.
Meanwhile, Aurora seems to notice that Luthica has no Runes on her body, and looks up at her quizzically. She starts to say something, however Annie speaks first “We knew about those men as well. It’s quite odd that anyone would appear anywhere without sigils, as that would be reason for concern on sight. It seems they weren’t worried about disturbing the public… and the Azraq Guard didn’t react in any way to what the men were doing.” Annie says. Luthica started to reply, however Aurora speaks up instead “Lady Luthica, where are your Runes? Annie said you’re a Runic Mage, but there’s not a single Rune on your skin.” she says, before adding “U-uh sorry for interrupting, it was bothering me...”. Luthica smiles at her “Oh, it’s fine. You see, I hide them because I don’t want any of my opponents to know what my skills are.” she says, as she sits up on her knees. Her eyes begin to glow as she speaks words in a language that Ophelia and Selvaria don’t understand, making several hand signs. After chanting only for a second, she finishes with “Spacial Magic, release!” which causes a
rune on her stomach, resembling a stylized eclipse in pale blue markings, to the right of her belly button, to appear. After the first, a second
Rune appears on her right shoulder, this one blood red, resembling a sword with stylized markings around it, reaching all the way down her arm, stopping at her wrist, the markings resembling Vs and Xs around the sword. A third
Rune then appears on her left shoulder, this one black, resembling a skull with wisps of fog or smoke flowing around it or off of it, reaching down to her wrist. A
fourth Rune, this one being difficult to discern, but vaguely resembling a sharply stylized bird in a very dark green, then appears on her right thigh, wrapping around it numerous times, only stopping at her ankle. The
fifth Rune then appears on her left thigh, this one resembling a thunderbird in purple, with streaks of light flowing off its back, wrapping around her leg until it stops at her ankle, much like the one on her other leg. The
last Rune, only appearing when Luthica slowly turns to show everyone, is a strange Rune that resembles a group of five round objects with a single eye sticking out of each, in a dark gray, the markings so large that the image covers almost her entire back. Luthica turns her body all the way around twice, so that everyone can get a good look at her Runes “There you go, all of my runes for you ladies to see.” she says, proudly. Aurora gazes at them for long moments, then finally speaks again “Wait, you have six Runes. Don’t most Runic Mages have 5? Isn’t it unhealthy to have so many?” she asks, sounding somewhat concerned. Luthica looks even more proud as she answers “Well, that is true, most only have five, however I’m not most. I can not only control all of them, but I have strong enough discipline that I suffer not negative effects from having six instead of five.” she says, before sitting down again, this time leaning on one arm, her body resting on the floor. Lily looks up from the instrument to see all of Luthica’s Runes, however once she had seen them all, she returned to strumming as Verger, who hadn’t even glanced away from Lily, continued to instruct her on how to play it. Once Luthica was finished explaining why she can have six Runes, Annie comments quickly and quietly “She hides them with Spacial Magic, which she dispelled to show us. She decided Runic Magic wasn’t enough, so she knows a small amount of Sorcery.” she says, in a neutral tone.
Alice doesn’t avert her attention from Ophelia at all, instead thrusting her fingers in and out of her deeper and faster as she reaches her other hand up to Ophelia’s left breast and massages it gently, but firmly. When Ophelia tells her that she holds her and Annie too dear to consider being with others, Alice smiles “That’s no fun, Hel, sweetie, my friend in JUSTICE, you always have my consent to not only fantasize about others, but do whatever you like with them~ it’s one of the reasons I don’t mind sharing you with Annie, besides loving her as well.” she says, her smile becoming sweeter, but more mischievous as she adds “In fact, I’d love it if you told me about it every time...” she says, licking her lips before softly kissing Ophelia’s neck, as she uses her thumb to rub her clit. Her voice then becomes even more of a soft whisper “I also have to admit that I love watching you hold back your moans, and hearing your voice as you try to hide your pleasure~” she says, as she suddenly thrusts a third finger into Ophelia’s pussy, intensifying her thrusts each time Ophelia tries to speak.
Selvaria couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed in how poorly she explained her trip to Vitra. Blanche must think her a fool for ending up in a faraway place without even knowing where she was... Thankfully, the Spectross doesn't seem to mind much, judging by her continued insistence that Selvaria was adorable and the hand that stroked her head ever so gently. It was almost unbelievable how someone so tall could be so gentle, Blanche was practically the opposite of the other Spectross she had met or heard of in the past. "O-oh... Well, I'm a mercenary so I need to fight to make a living... I suppose we'll have to allow it..." Selvaria mumbles at the idea of not being able to fight since she too was adorable, still too caught off guard by the compliments to consider that Blanche was simply joking with her. Though she hears the uttering of a language foreign to her and sees the flash of runes out of the corner of her eye, Blanche's hand on her cheek recaptures Selvaria's attention before she can even look away. She giggles nervously again when Blanche calls her sweet and refers to her as 'Selvy'. She had been unsure of how to feel when Alice had called her that, but when Blanche said it, it actually sounded kind of cute. "Um... A-am I really that tense? If you.... Wouldn't mind then...." Before Selvaria could even finish her answer, Blanche was already massaging her shoulders. Not that she minded at all, Selvaria let out a pleased sigh as she could feel her tension start to wash away. The bath had been so relaxing already, but it was nothing compared to the pleasant feeling that echoed not only through her body, but her mind as well. "You... You are quite good at this. I... I rather like it." She tells Blanche, muttering that last bit under her breath, but with their close proximity it was unlikely that she wouldn't hear it.
It is strange how entranced she is from gazing into Blanche's eyes, but the emotions it evokes are so pleasant and so foreign that Selvaria doesn't even think to question it. The only thing that can draw her attention away from the other woman is the suggestion that her Necro Blob needs a name. Selvaria nods in agreement, and turns her gaze down towards the pet resting in her hands. A name that implies happiness and a friendly nature... It might be hard to focus under Blanches gentle touch, but those were feelings she felt she understood quite well at this time. "How about... Felix... Like the word felicity, an intense happiness..." She eventually says, looking both to her blob and to Blanche for approval.
Ophelia tries her best to keep up with the conversation, she really does. But with Alice's ever increasing assault on everywhere sensitive, it feels like more and more of the words said around her slip in one ear and out of the other. Or perhaps they never make it into her ear, blocked by the sound of her own suppressed moans. The shining of the runes as they are revealed are indeed interesting and manage to hold her attention for a time, but between being aroused all morning and Alice's efforts, she quickly falls back into her lustful fugue state. She barely even notices Lily looking in their direction and she has never been more glad to be out of sight. Lily really should not see her like this. Some part of her subconscious logs what is being said for review, such as negative effects of having too many runes, at a later time, but that time is not now. She does not think she could ask the question without giving herself away if she tried.
She is pretty sure the only reasons she can hear Alice through her haze is because a) Alice is right next to her ear and b) Alice is the reason she is like this to begin with. It would make sense to be hyper focused on her Paladin right now. What she does hear fuels her blush even further. For a moment, Alice's permission unleashes her increasingly perverted mind causing it to latch onto any target it can. She imagines using Masino's Gift on Verger as a thank you for teaching Lily to play the guitar. She imagines fucking Luthica into the ground so hard she loses control of her magic and her runes shine into the night. There is even one very quickly shut down thought of showing Lily what it means to be pleasured. Ophelia's arousal surges even before she feels Alice's lips on her neck and thumb on her clit and she has to bury her mouth into her hands to keep her moan to a lowered volume. How can she tell what is an appropriate volume if all voices have faded into the background? Some small part of Ophelia, the assassin used to remaining cool under any circumstance, asks this. And no part of her has a reply. "ANniE wouLd." She manages to choke out from between her fingers. That is the main reason she did not allow her mind to wander further: Annie is not into the same things Alice and increasingly Ophelia are into. Ophelia does not know Annie's limitations when it comes to these things and has no intentions of finding out. It is basically all she can think with the additional finger within her and Alice very obviously trying to make sure she cannot speak without moaning. She thinks this all will be a moot point soon. She is light-headed with her pleasure and tipping closer and closer to the edge. More and more of her attention is funneled to clamping her hand to her mouth to mute herself as much as possible. She forgets she has her other hand wrapped around Annie and that, in her... "distress" she has been increasing her grip on her detective more and more.
When Selvaria compliments Blanche on her massaging skills, she giggles softly “I’m glad you’re enjoying my touch, my lady~” she says, gently moving her hands to Selvaria’s back, and starting to rotate between her hips, back, and shoulders, her fingers feeling like magic with every movement. Blanche’s face only moves closer to Selvaria’s as she continues their conversation, her breath smelling like roses “I think Felix is a wonderful names~” she says, her eyes glowing faintly as Selvaria looks into them, though she can still feel her Necro Blob jiggle happily when Selvaria suggests Felix as its name. “See? Your blob loves the name already~” she says, her voice almost a whisper as her fingers continue working away all of Selvaria’s tenseness. “Hmm~ Selvy, if you don’t like how it feels at any point, please tell me to stop~” she says, even more quietly as Blanche gently moves her hands up Selvaria’s sides, gently gripping each of Selvaria’s breasts and massaging them very gently, her movements feeling even better than before, while Blanche’s gaze fills Selvaria with bliss. Selvaria’s Necro Blob, meanwhile, slowly slides up her arm and comes to a stop on her shoulder, letting out a content “Murr~” sound, where it starts to softly rub against her cheek for a moment, eventually slipping out its tongue and licking her cheek with its tongue, jiggling happily as it does.
Alice picks up her pace even further as she continues whispering into Ophelia’s ear, while she uses her other hand to pinch Ophelia’s nipple, then rub it between her fingers. “Well, she already shares you with me, who’s to say our friend of JUSTICE wouldn’t mind sharing you with others~?” she whispers as she thrusts her three fingers deep inside of her once, then leaves them for a moment before thrusting them ever faster and harder. “Don’t you think it would be fun to… play with others like this~? To see a beautiful girl like Verger, or Luthica, and take them into bed one night~? Hmmm maybe my sister, Aurora?... or both of us at once~?” she asks, seductively, as she slowly runs her tongue along Ophelia’s neck. Annie, meanwhile, blushes again as she looks at Ophelia, but quickly turns back to Luthica, though she was very, very slightly grimacing from Ophelia’s tight grip on her, and had moved her arm to Ophelia’s hip and was gently stroking her side, as if to soothe her.
Lily was now playing a song on her guitar, slowly, as Verger encouraged her. “There you go, Lily, you’re doing a great job.” she said, giving her a thumbs up. “Would you like to keep my guitar? I have another at my home.” she says, sweetly, to which Lily responded by nodding vigorously “Keep geetaw fwum singah laydee? Pwease pwease!” she said, hooting in excitement. Verger smiled at this and thought for a moment “I’ll build you another one, too, so that it can match your hair and swimsuit. I’ll give it to you when we see each other again.” she says, gently rubbing Lily’s head, which caused her to hoot more and close her eyes. “Geetaw wike my hair, yus!” she says, hooting more. Aurora, meanwhile, continued speaking with Luthica “What are all of those Runes for? Are they purely for battle? Can Verger fight, or does she hang back while you fight?” she asked, to which Luthica responded “Slow down, one question at a time, please” jokingly “Verger can fight, too, she knows some techniques, and has a Guitar-Buster Sword, though she didn’t bring it to the bath because it’s heavy.” she says, before adding “What my Runes do is a secret, but maybe if you stay with Annie, you’ll get to see me use them if we get into trouble.” she says, smiling. Annie then replied “I’ve never actually seen her use more than one. Usually just the one is enough.” she said, to which caused Aurora to turn her attention to Annie “Okay, but what does the one do? I’m c-curious...” she said nervously. Luthica smiled again “Well, I guess I can tell you since you’re Annie’s friends. The one on my back is a summoning spell of my own design, which summons my Hoplites.” she explains. “They’re strange orb-shaped creatures, that seem to have different powers, dependent on what she needs them for. They’re incredibly versatile.” Annie adds.
The fantasies Alice paints, the ever increasing assault on her vagina, the feeling of Alice's tongue on her neck, Annie's touch, all of it adds up for Ophelia in a way she can no longer resist. Her throat hurts with how badly she chokes on her cry as she orgasms, all but strangling herself internally to keep from announcing her pleasure to everyone in the room. Her eyes roll back as she reaches her peak, how long she has had to wait for her release only adding to the sensations rolling through her. For a moment, she cannot see anything, just a white light. When her vision returns to her, she finds herself leaning against Alice because she has lost her strength. As she begins to come down from the orgasmic high, she finally pries her hand away from her mouth, wincing at the feeling of pain she can feel from gripping her own jaw too hard. "Love, you're incorrigible." she mutters to Alice behind her, a small smile on her face to show she doesn't mean anything harmful by it. She also loosens her grip on Annie, recalling from somewhere in her mind what she grimaced because of the pressure Ophelia was putting on her. She does not wish to make her lovers uncomfortable so she undoes it as quickly as possible. She leans over and kisses Annie's neck in apology for her actions and then tries to focus on the world at large.
She sees Lily being gifted Verger's guitar and smiles even as she becomes slightly paranoid. The guitar does not look cheap and even if the Bard made it herself as she implies, she imagines the wood and labor means it is still not cheap. She can only hope it is because Lily is such a cheerful and likeable girl. She does worry about Verger's certainty that they will see each other again. Does she have a lead that they will end up following? Is it a declaration that she will be stalking them? Is she simply reading too much into this because it is a potential threat on her charge? Reminded, she tilts her head to keep the pack with the egg in her vision and make sure it is ok. For the moment, she decides to assume it is the last one and mentally stands down. She does pay attention to Luthica's description, no matter how loose, of Verger's fighting methods just in case though. She also keeps in mind Luthica's own Rune Magic since she very much doubts the Mage would leave her partner to be defeated without joining in. While Hoplites are an unfamiliar race, it is one she is now cautious about seeing as Annie has said using just this one spell ends any combat Luthica is in. Technically speaking, that makes it more powerful than her Chaos Form and she will rank it as a threat accordingly. "Do not forget to say thank you, Lily." she says, reminding the girl of her manners. Turning back to Annie, she says, "Interesting. I must admit, but curiosity on Hoplites have been piqued."
As Blanche's hands begin to shift and explore more of her body, Selvaria can feel herself tense up slightly at the sensation in areas she's unused to. It only lasts a fleeting moment however, before the magical feel of Blanche's touch lulls her back into her relaxed state and she can feel her wings shift of their own accord to allow better access to her body for the other woman. As the rose scent of Blanche's breath reaches her nose, Selvaria finds herself unconsciously leaning in closer as well, so close that their faces are almost touching at this point. She can't pry her gaze away from the glowing green of Blanche's eyes, but she can feel the jiggle of Felix in her arms that she knew meant her Necro Blob approves. She's not sure which makes her happier at the moment, Blanche's approval or Felix's, the feeling of elation is nearly equal. A shiver of pleasure runs through her body as Blanche's hands trail up her waist, and she can't help but gasp as they find their way around her breasts. Selvaria makes no move to stop her or object, quite the contrary her body arches to press her breasts deeper into Blanche's grasp, silently encouraging her to continue. Selvaria can feel a strange heat start to fill her body, unlike the warmth of the bath water, and it drives her to rub her thighs together anxiously. "Hmmmm~ Please... Don't stop..." She utters, moaning softly as she fidgets in Blanches embrace. The rest of the bath didn't even register in her mind, only herself and Blanche. And Felix of course. When the blob begins to lick her cheek, she giggles lightly and rubs her cheek against him affectionately, though she doesn't break her gaze with Blanche.
Alice giggles when Ophelia tells her that she’s incorrigible, then reaches up and tugs her bikini top back into place “You’re too beautiful and I love you too much to resist~” she says, as slips her other hand out of Ophelia’s bikini bottoms and wraps both of her arms around her. She then whispers in Ophelia’s ear “Think about it, though… it’ll be fun~” she says, as she softly gropes Ophelia’s ass. When Ophelia leans over and kisses Annie’s neck, she gives her a smile and a gentle kiss on the cheek.
When Ophelia checks on her egg, it’s sitting right where she left it, just as she left it, completely undisturbed.
When Ophelia tells Lily to remember to thank her, she looks over at Ophelia and repeats “F-fank yuu?” she then turns to Verger and repeats it back to her “Fank yuu, singah laydee!” she says, smiling. Verger giggles “You’re welcome, sweet girl.” she says. When Ophelia states that she’s interested in the Hoplites, Annie replies “They’re shaped like spheres and are all black, but each has an eye of a different color which seems to indicate what kind of power it has. I’ve seen them form shields, spread poisonous fog, heal, return Mana, and throw knives. I don’t think that’s all they do, though.” Annie said. “It isn’t. Hoplites are living constructs, made from a substance called Dark Matter, and after being built by entities called Keepers, they are giving these properties so that they can assist in battle.” she explains, after which she moves to the edge of the bath and slips herself slowly into the Noter. Verger, who had been waiting for a break in the conversation, then speaks to Ophelia “Lily is very sweet, my ladies. What’s her relation to you?” she asks, innocently, as Lily starts strumming out the same song as before. This time, it closely resembles a common tavern song about a Knight who saves a princess from a dragon, and settles down with her in Azraq.
Meanwhile, Blanche massages Selvaria’s breasts more vigorously, using her thumbs to rub her nipples through her bikini top. She leans further forward and touches her lower forehead to Selvaria’s own, then tilts her head and kisses her on the lips softly, her tongue soon slipping into Selvaria’s mouth and licking her own expertly. After holding the kiss for a long time, she breaks it, then whispers to Selvaria “Cute little Selvy, would you like to sit on my lap~?” she asks, though again before she replies, she slowly releases her grip on Selvaria’s beasts and grabs her by the hips, gently and easily lifting her and moving her to a more shallow part of the bath, before sitting down in the water and setting Selvaria on her lap. When she sets her down, she can feel a bulge in Blanche’s bikini pressing against her crotch. Once they were settled, Blanche returns to gently and expertly massaging Selvaria’s breasts, and using her thumbs to rub her nipples through her top, while also planting soft kisses on Selvaria’s cheek and neck, her eyes gazing into Selvaria’s the entire time, filling her with a feeling of calm. On the other side, the Felix was jiggling and rubbing again, and softly licking Selvaria’s cheek, letting out more happy murring sounds.
Ophelia feels a blush come on when Alice speaks. She was quite sure her Paladin loved her as well, but to hear it from her own mouth is always welcome. She thinks she should be annoyed by how often she is molested in public, but she really cannot summon the will to be so when the one doing it is both someone she loves and so shamelessly compliments her both during and afterward. And then during again because she can feel Alice's hand on her posterior. Still, that does not erase the fact that Alice's arms are around her, so she leans into the embrace. After a moment of thought, she grabs Annie and drags her detective into her lap, just to complete the set. It would not do for her other lover to be left out. She will not molest Annie because she is aware that Annie will not appreciate it quite as much as Alice or Ophelia herself might, but she knows her detective enjoys being held and she wants to do some holding right now. She does breath a sigh of relief that nothing hazardous happened to the egg while she was...distracted.
She smiles at Lily after her charge thanks Verger. "Good girl." She says, regretting that she is outside of headpatting range. It would not do ruin an established pattern before it really starts to take effect. She is not 100% sure, but from what she knows, making such a pattern of positive reinforcement is important for behavioral development. Or something like that. She makes a mental note to pick up some books on parenting the next time she is able. Having a resource on such a thing would cut down on the amount of guesswork she has to do and she would very much appreciate knowing she is not unknowingly setting her charge up for failure. She is rather fascinated by all the many uses for Hoplites, though she does have a question because of that explanation. "Was Skyrille not referred to as a Keeper? Does that mean people like her are responsible for creating the Hoplites?"
When she turns to Verger, who has interjected into the conversation, she has to take a moment to deliberate. On the one hand, she is loathe to give any information regarding Lily since she knows there is a group out there hunting her. She is not sure who they are or how many so giving out intel could be potentially lethal to her charge. On the other, Verger and Luthica's assignment is likely to the group proven to be harmful to Lily's detriment. Any information she can give on that front can only help Lily in the future. Beyond that, they have Annie's trust so she can very likely trust them as well. "We seem to have adopted her. She was under attack by the unadorned men your assignment is based on and we stepped in to save her. I am unsure if it is because I showed kindness to her afterwards, but she began calling me her mother." The thought of that still causes her to blush in embarrassment on how she panicked. "And it is not as if we could leave someone we knew to be in danger. Hence why I stated we adopted her. I am not sure who she was raised by, but I use that term loosely. Her vocabulary was and still is atrocious, but in the brief time we have had her, she has made astounding progress. I believe she may be smarter than her appearance and way of speaking denotes."
Selvaria lets out another low moan as she can feel her nipples begin to stiffen, straining against the fabric of her bikini under Blanche's expert touch. A part of her wished that the garment simply wasn't there so she could feel it directly, but the other part of her that still was thinking rationally knew that the bath was not the place for such a thing. A kiss, on the other hand, was just fine. Annie, Alice, and Ophelia were doing much the same after all, and so Selvaria was more than happy to share one with Blanche, gladly opening her mouth to allow the other woman's tongue access. However long the kiss lasts, it doesn't feel like nearly long enough. Selvaria finds herself moaning a little louder this time as Blanche's rose scent fills her nose and her tongue fills Selvaria's mouth. When the kiss breaks, she whimpers needily, but finds any objections have left her mind when she's lifted up and carried off to another part of the bath. Selvaria gasps at suddenly, being lifted out of the warm noter, but she nods vigorously afterward, open to the idea of sitting on Blanche's lap. With the large difference in their sizes, Selvaria finds she fits quite well in Blanche's lap and, combined with the calming effect Selvaria feels from Blanche's soothing gaze, she's quick to relax and lean back against the other woman. "Ahh..! Wh-what is..." Selvaria gasps, the bulge she feels against her crotch raising several questions, though once Blanche resumes massaging her breasts and planting kisses all along her face and neck, Selvaria finds those questions aren't all that important anymore. Instead, she simply grinds her crotch against Blanche's bulge, an act that sends shivers through her body. Blanche's touch had her feeling sooo good already, and the promise of more to come filled Selvaria with a sense of excitement. And of course, she couldn't neglect her precious Necro Blob. When she feels Felix's tongue on her other cheek, she gives him a loving smile before returning the favor and planting a kiss on her adorable pet.
Annie blushes and leans against Ophelia when she pulls her into her lap, and gently runs her hand across her thigh. When Ophelia tells Lily that she was a good girl, she smiled at her and made her way closer, then touched her head to Ophelia’s arm “P-pat pats?” she says, hopefully, while Verger watched and smiled wider “Oh, dear, she is adorable.” she says. When Ophelia mentions Skyrille being a Keeper, Annie nods “That she was, and the way Luthica says it, it confirms my suspicion that there are more.” she says, softly so that only Ophelia and Alice could hear, though Luthica hears anyway. “Yes, there are more. You can think of it as a promotion to the most powerful of the Necromancers, each Keeper rules their own personal city of undead. They actually, after promotion, begin moving between a… I suppose a second world, one without light, and gain the power to see in the dark. They make the Hoplites themselves. You can think of the Keepers as being second to Goddesses, almost deities. To be blunt, I’m glad I met Skyrille, since the Keepers scare me.” Luthica explains, chuckling when she mentions how they scare her.
When Ophelia explains how she came to adopt Lily, Aurora speaks up “The whole encounter was quite strange, they spoke as if they had authority, telling us that what they were trying to do to her was not our concern, and as Annie mentioned, the city Guard didn’t appear to stop them at all.” she says. Verger nods as the two women speak to her “That’s so kind of you, to help a girl in need, and then to take care of her. It seems unbelievable that others would have left her to her fate, but… I suppose that’s the world we live in. It’s sad that her previous mother seems to have raised her poorly and abandoned her… I’d ask you where she came from initially, but seeing as her previous mother didn’t bother to teach her much, if anything, I suppose she wouldn’t know...” she says, sadness creeping into her voice. “It’s baffling that she can learn so quickly, but knows so little at her age. Her previous mother must have been atrocious… luckily, you’re her mother now. You’re doing great, and I’m sure you’ll continue to do a great job.” she says, giving Ophelia a friendly smile. Luthica then chimes in again “I guarantee you, when we find those men, they’ll regret laying hands on her.” she says, smiling “I do wonder… what she was doing before you took her in. Have you noticed? She can speak a little, but she has no accent. She looks to be a teen, and she picked up words, but she doesn’t say them with an accent. What was her previous mother doing… what did she have her doing… why did she abandon her?” she says. “I wonder that as well. A part of me wants to find out, but I have to admit… I’m also part tempted to leave that door closed and let her live her new life with us.” Annie replies, turning her gaze to Lily.
Meanwhile, Blanche notices Selvaria’s nipples poking against the fabric of her top and gently pinches both of them, smiling at her pleasantly. “Oh, cute little Selvy’s nipples want out~” she whispers, as she grabs her top and pulls it up, exposing her breasts. She grabs both of her breasts and massages them gently, then moves her grip to her nipples, rubbing them between her fingers. When Selvaria starts grinding against Blanche’s bulge through their bikini bottoms, she lets out a soft moan and begins slowly grinding back, her bulge hardening and thickening, becoming even larger, straining against her bikini bottoms. Blanche soon returns to planting kisses on her neck and shoulder while Selvaria kisses her blob on its body, causing it to jiggle and let out a satisfied murr. When she pulls back, Felix follows her and gives her a sloppy kiss on her cheek. “Mmm~ Little Selvy, I see you’re enjoying yourself~” Blanche says as she picks up the pace of her grinding, though still handling Selvaria gently.
For the first time, Blanche's actions actually cause Selvaria to object as she feels her top pulled off and her breasts are exposed for all to see. She can feel her face to start to burn up as she flushes a deep shade of crimson. "A-ahhh~ B-but Blanche... Is it really okay to do this here? They'll see..." Selvaria asks, though physically she makes no moves to stop her or cover herself. She supposes that if Blanche thinks it's fine, then it shouldn't be a problem, but being exposed where Ophelia and the others could see her was still.... And yet, the feeling of Blanche's fingers pinching her sensitive nipples drives those thoughts from her mind. In truth, Blanche was right, she had wanted this and it felt every bit as amazing as she had imagined. Hearing Blanche moan softly in her ear, Selvaria can't help but feel a swell of pride. It was selfish to feel so good all by herself, but like this, it seemed that she could return the favor so to speak. Feeling the size of Blanche's already sizable bulge increase, along with the speed of her grinding, Selvaria increase her own speed to match. "Hahhhn~ Y-yes, I am... Are you..? Mmmm~ I want to help you enjoy yourself too Blanche..." She whispers back between soft moans. Feeling Felix join Blanche in planting kisses on her cheek, Selvaria decides she needs to reward him as well, though she's not entirely sure how to do that. Well, it seemed to enjoy her kiss, so perhaps that would be a good place to start. She takes Felix in her hands and holds him up to her face so she can give him another kiss, though she goes much further this time, imitating the kiss she had received from Blanche and sliding her tongue into her Necro Blob's mouth to entwine and play with its own.
Ophelia smiles at Annie's blush, but does not even slightly attempt to relinquish her hold on her detective. Given she is now in a pile of those she loves, it would take a particularly mighty need to make her willingly stop what she's doing. Her smile widens and becomes softer as Lily comes to her for headpats and she is glad that she does not have to break up her pattern. As loathe as she is to remove one of her arms from Annie, she reaches out and pats Lily's head, once more enjoying the soft hair on her charge's head. Honestly, she could just run her hands through it forever and be satisfied. The fact that Lily so clearly enjoys it too is a very big bonus on top of that. She has a moment where she wonders how much the 4 of them look like a family. A rather... different family, perhaps, what with there being 3 mothers, but a family unit nonetheless given how they are coming together to love and care for a child. It is something she does not have experience in, but she cannot find it in herself to regret any of the choices that led to this moment. She wishes she could capture it and make it last forever. She is reminded there are people besides the 2 women she loves and the child she is very quickly coming to wish to protect from the world and nurture when Verger speaks up, but she can only nod her head in agreement with her statement.
She breaks herself out of her family moment enough to pay attention to Annie's explanation of Keepers and then when Luthica takes over the explanation. She finds one thing curious however... "They have to gain the power to see in the dark? I have seen in the darkest night as if it is day my entire life. Is that strange?" That is the only question she will ask aloud. Others include "If all Keepers have a city of the undead, why have we not come across more?" and "What are the other Keepers like if only Skyrille has Luthica's good opinion?". The first she does not ask simply because it is entirely possible that she has simply not seen a city like that in her travels. The second one... well, she imagines Necromancers have a bad reputation for a reason. She tries not to judge the whole of them based on the actions of a few, but when the few unleash an undead horde upon the world, it gets rather hard to do so. And beyond that, she is not very aware of any necromancers who use their powers for good. She has not heard of any at least. Still, she will try to keep an open mind about it as she does for all things.
"I try rather hard not to think of the girl's previous mother." Ophelia starts, her voice hardening slightly. "Unless there is a rather good reason, it is the height of irresponsibility to allow their child to go so far out of her ability to keep an eye on her. The poor girl did not even remember her name. I am not sure if anyone taught it to her. Lily is the name I gave her! A lot of the words she speaks are ones Alice, Annie, or I taught her! I am not sure what, if anything her previous mother taught her, but it would be for the best if I did not find out." She finds herself hugging Lily to her person as she says this, using the girl as an anchor to keep from showing the full scope of her fury. Honestly, the lack of anything resembling an education for Lily is rather infuriating and she is very sure it shows in her voice right now. What was Lily's name before they met? Did Lily HAVE a name before they met? Were her interests explored at all? Was she taught manners or did she learn them from watching Ophelia, Alice, and Annie? Just how much of a blank slate was Lily before she came into the girl's life? Thinking too hard on that is a guaranteed way to thoroughly ruin her mood. So she tries not to do it very often.
Instead she tries to switch her train of thought, instead commenting on the first part of the conversation.
"I do wonder just what kind of person can cause the entire Guard to stay away. That implies a lot of money, a lot of power, blackmail, or some combination of the 3. It worries me that they have that much pull. It was also slightly annoying that they did not even attempt to explain what they were doing. They simply demanded we leave and continue menacing a young girl. Put that way, I suppose it is for the best we do not know. It would not have mattered."
Blanche giggles softly as Selvaria shows how nervous she is about being exposed in public “It’ll be fine, little Selvy, you should be happy to show off such a lovely body~” she says. Her moans intensify and become more frequent as Selvaria increases the speed of her grinding, causing her massive cock to become fully erect against Selvaria’s crotch, through their bikini bottoms. “H-hnn ungh~ l-little Selvy, w-would you ahn~ like to ask me to p-put it in~?” she asks. Meanwhile, Felix returns Selvaria’s kiss, jiggling happily as it sloppily licks and sucks on her tongue, its saliva coating it and dripping down her chin, onto her chest, Felix’s saliva tasting like plum jelly, much sweeter in comparison no Nums, the fake Plums produced in an attempt to replicate the taste. When Blanche sees Selvaria kissing her Necro Blob pet, she giggles softly through her moans and comments “Ooohhh~ I see ungh~ you l-like your pet a lot m-more than I hngh~ anticipated~”
Meanwhile, Lily happily bounces up and down in the noter as Ophelia pets her head, drawing out content sighs and soft hooting. “G-gewd Lily~?” she asks, as she pats her head. When Ophelia mentions seeing in the dark, Annie gently kisses her cheek “Most Chaldeans can’t see in the dark, that comes from your uniqueness.” she says, to which Luthica adds “That’s a skill exclusive to Nomads, and some Were-Beasts, so it has to be granted to Keepers.” in a friendly tone. When Ophelia starts ranting and hugs Lily to her body, she happily returns her hug, hooting softly into her side, grinning up at Ophelia. When she finishes her rant, Verger replies “I suppose we should just be happy that she’s no longer in the clutches of such a horrible person, and that she now has a kind and caring mother.” she says, smiling at her, then at Lily, who returns her smile, oblivious of the conversation. Aurora then comments “I wonder if her first mother has anything to do with the sigil-less men we had to fight… perhaps she sent them to reclaim her… though that’s assuming she cares enough.”to which Annie replies “I’ve wondered about that, as well. It only bothered me further, because being able to hire those men means she had more than enough resources to properly raise her child if she cared to.” she says. Alice frowns “If I ever see her, I’ll give her a JUSTICE PAWNCH!” she says, thrusting out her first for emphasis before returning it to Ophelia’s body. This, Lily hears, as she repeats “JAWSTICE!” as she thrusts her first into the air.
When Ophelia returns the conversation back to discussion of the men, Annie replies first “I agree, though I’m thinking, given previous leads, that they were either the Guards themselves, or people the Guards were dealing with. This would imply that Lily could be more special than we realize… that, or her former mother is higher up in terms of positions of power, that she could not only hire these men, but also keep the Guards away.” to which Luthica replies “Suppose that they’re involved in the human trafficking… perhaps they wants to kidnap and sell Lily.” which caused Verger to speak up again “C-can we not talk about this innocent girl being kidnapped and sold?” she asks nervously. Alice and Aurora then replied in unison “IF SOMEONE DID THAT TO HER, THEY’D FIND THEMSELVES THE SUBJECT OF A JUSTICE PAWNCH!” with Aurora blushing and slowly lowering her head beneath the water when she realized what she had done, while Alice merely grins in triumph. Lily, hearing the outburst, thrusts her fist into the air again and shouts “JAWSTICE PAWNCH!” before returning her arms to Ophelia’s hips and hooting contentedly.
Despite what Blanche said, Selvaria found it hard to imagine herself happily expose herself to others. Then again, she would have found it hard to imagine herself doing just about anything she had already done since entering this bath and meeting Blanche. She thinks... Well, between Blanche's grinding, her hands delightfully massaging her breasts, and the sweet nectar that is her Necro Blobs saliva, it's honestly hard for her to think of anything at all. Hearing Blanche's comment about her affection for Felix, Selvaria hesitantly breaks her kiss and looks back at the other woman, smiling widely. "Yes... Hehehe~ Felix is my most treasured companion." She replies, before returning to showering her companion with affection, rubbing a hand gently along its body as they kiss. True, she had only had Felix for about a day now, but she could already tell that her fondness for the Necro Blob would never fade. Selvaria's moans grow in intensity along with Blanche's, muted only by the kiss she shares with Felix. The pleasure she feels from all angles starts to drown out all other sensation and she embraces that, closing her eyes as her wings start to twitch and flutter involuntarily. The only thing that reaches her is Blanche's voice, the words the Spectross whispers in her ear snapping her back into the present rather swiftly. "I... I've never.... Um.... Y-you are so big..." Selvaria mumbles before trailing off. She wasn't unfamiliar with sex and what it entailed, she had witnessed it on several occasions in her time with the bandits who raised her. Often, taking the belongings of their victims wasn't where they would stop, and attractive women who fell prey to their traps would find themselves raped without mercy. Selvaria had seen it, but always refused to take part, and come to feel disgusted by sexual acts ever since. And yet, surely Blanche was different. She was so big, and yet so gentle... "Mmmm~ Blanche... I would be honored if you would.... I want us both to feel good so.... Ohhh~ B-be gentle with me but... P-please.. I would like for you to... P-put it in me~" Selvaria stammers out between moans and heavy breaths, unsure of how she wanted to word her request. By the time she was finished, she was blushing furiously and quickly pressed Felix to her mouth once again, seeking his companionship.
"Very good Lily." Ophelia says as a response to her charge. The news that others cannot see in the dark as she can is new to her. It never occured to her that others would not be similarly abled, though it does make a few things make more sense. "That does explain why I had to point the bodies out to Alice that one time in the Colosseum." She says in a thoughtful voice. She finds herself moving her fingers in circles on Annie's stomach and rubbing Lily's side as she thinks. She thought it was Alice being her usual self when she failed to see the dead guards the assassin left in its wake. It did not occur to her that Alice just could not see said guards in the dark of the hallway. When Alice burst from the room, she saw the assassin just fine, so she just assumed. And she supposes she has never travelled at night with her party so she never had any reason to test their night vision in that regard. And it was always easier to kill her targets at night. Now she knows it is because she saw them long before they saw her, if they ever did. Well, it is not like this means much in her daily life. She can possibly use it in combat if it takes place in an area with dim lighting, but beyond that there is not much use for this information.
She forces herself to somewhat ignore the conversation coming back to Lily's birth mother until it comes up that she could possibly be the one paying both the plain men and the city guard. Her first thought is that is impossible. From what Ophelia knows of the wealthy, even if they did not care a wit for their progeny, they care entirely about their appearance. And a girl in Lily's normal garb, while great for the peasantry, is rags for the wealthy. It has a touch of class to it, but for someone with the money to buy a mercenary force and the town guard, they are not worthy of being used for cleaning. Given her mother does not care for Lily as a person, she would care for Lily as a status object. The Princess of the castle for which her own wealth would be judged. Unless Lily has siblings, but she thinks that such a thing would have been brought up by now. If anything, the instant Lily declared Ophelia her mother, she would have claimed Annie and Alice as her sisters. And my, that would make their relationship pseudo-incestual all of a sudden. She really should reel in her thoughts a touch. And should she be concerned that pseudo-incest did not disturb her as society says it should and instead made her curious? She is not sure how, but she blames Alice for this. Whenever she feels perverted, it is usually her paladin's fault.
Her thought process is cut off when Lily screams about Justice once more. If she had a hand free (she categorically refuses to do either option that would release a hand for use), she would facepalm again. Instead she just gives a small sigh. Well, hopefully she can teach Lily the perils of pursuing JUSTICE before she walks too far down the path. Alice is strong enough to charge down it fearlessly. Lily on the other hand... well, Ophelia is not sure how strong the girl is, but she worries all the same. And then she feels a fury that is all consuming when the idea of Lily being FUCKING SOLD comes up. She does not quite realize it, but an animalistic growl tears itself from her throat. "If any were to be so foolish as to attempt it, I will offer them suffering so profound it will make even Tenebris weep. I would gain Masino's favor, for eliminating such a profuse waste of flesh would surely better the world, through technology or no." She growls, pulling Lily into a protective embrace. She eagerly nods her head in agreement when Verger attempts to change the subject. While Aurora and Alice's united answer is amusing (especially given Aurora's embarrassment as showing her zeal again), a JUSTICE PAWNCH is not nearly enough to show her displeasure to this individual. She wonders what would happen if she poured her Mushroom Man potion down someone's throat. Would the Mushroom burst out of the victim painfully? It is something to look into when thinking of torture methods. Her mood breaks completely when Lily raises her fists and then begins hugging Ophelia and hooting. Needing the grounding influence, she goes back to making circles in Lily's side. The feeling of her charge's soft, innocent skin bleeds some of her anger and tension so she can think like a rational being instead of a murder beast bent on destroying something.
When Selvaria says that Felix is her most treasured companion, breaking the kiss to say so, an act which causes Felix to whimper softly until she kisses it again, Blanche smiles widely “I’m hngh~ h-happy that you h-have someone who mmm~ makes you happy~” she says, as she lowers her head to Selvaria’s nipple and licks it once, before giving both breasts a gentle squeeze. When she returns to kissing Felix, it begins jiggling happily again, slipping its tongue into her mouth and licking every centimeter of it, before sloppily swirling its tongue around Selvaria’s. When she begins stroking Felix’s body, it begins to ripple as, below his face, an appendage begins to form, slowly growing into it pokes Selvaria’s cheek, the tip smearing a sticky substance across it. Upon contact with Selvaria’s cheek, Felix shivers, as if from pleasure, but doesn’t stop returning her kiss for even a second. When Selvaria says that Blanche is really large, she smiles again through her moans “Oh, cute little Selvy, all Spectross have dicks roughly this size~” she says, then when Selvaria asks her to penetrate her, she nods “Of course, I wouldn’t want to hurt you~” she says, as she reaches down between Selvaria’s legs and moves the crotch of her swimsuit aside, before slipping her gigantic member out of the top of her own. She lifts her out of the water, gently, by her thighs, lining up her gigantic cock with Selvaria’s slit, then very slowly lowers her down onto her tip. She lets out a soft moan as she very slowly pushes into Selvaria’s pussy, moving only a centimeter at a time, and stopping to let her get used to every bit of it. When her tip reaches Selvaria’s hymen, she punches through it slowly, before stopping to let her rest. “Mmm are you ready, cute little Selvy?” she asks. When Selvaria gives her the go ahead, she lowers her all the way, her tip reaching Selvaria’s deepest depths, after which she begins thrusting in and out of her slowly, Selvaria’s pussy overfilled by Blanche’s gigantic cock, each thrust causing her to moan loudly “Y-you’re s-so hnngh~ tight~” she moans out, as she gently thrusts in and out of her pussy, her hands returning to gently groping and massaging her breasts, while using her thumbs to . rub her erect nipples.
Meanwhile, Lily smiles and giggles when Ophelia tells her she did very well. Annie, Alice, and Aurora nod as Ophelia declares that she would make anyone responsible suffer for kidnapping and selling Lily. While Ophelia is rubbing Annie’s stomach, she blushes and lets out a content sigh, leaning into Ophelia further and beginning to gently stroke her forearm. Lily only smiles and hugs Ophelia tighter when she tugs her into a protective embrace. Annie, halfway distracted by Ophelia’s rubbing on her stomach, though for only a moment her face shows she’s enjoying the feeling, then brings up another subject “That reminds me, this morning Ophelia, Alice, Aurora, and I came into the possession of a large egg that appeared, seemingly from nowhere, while we were sleeping. Do either of you know anything about such an occurrence?” she asks. Luthica merely looks puzzled as she replies “Uh. Not a clue. Did a stork break into your room while you were sleeping? Actually, I suppose anything like that happened, you wouldn’t need to ask us...” she says, after which Verger replies “Oh, I know something about that, actually.” to which Aurora replies “I suppose now I see what people mean when they mention Bardic knowledge...”, only rising out of the water slightly to comment, before sinking back in. Verger then raised her hands and whispered “Spacial Magic, summon Instrument.” after which a swirl of starts appeared between her hands, before a flash erupted from the area and a black guitar with red edges and flame painted across it, from end to end, appeared in her hands. “There once was a woman fair, her skin dark as a Night Wolf’s hair, devoted she was and Masino she followed, though deep within her heart was hollow… until one day, a beautiful woman she met on her way, their love was such that together they hit the hay~” she sang, strumming a tune that she had to have made up just that moment. Annie stared at her for a long moment, then suddenly blush began to creep across her face, until she suddenly commented nervously “Well, that’s all I needed to know...” before she glanced around at everyone else, Alice looking puzzled, Luthica laughing so hard that she grabbed onto Verger to stay upright, while Aurora kept looking at everyone else, as if trying to figure out what the punchline to a joke was. Lily simply began clapping for Verger’s performance, without taking both hands off of Ophelia’s body, the guitar having been slung over her back. “Wow, Annie, I didn’t know you had it in you~” Luthica said, giving her a smile, while Annie tried to hide her face in her hair.
Selvaria's eyes widen as she hears that all Spectross were so well endowed. She would scarcely believe it if she weren't beholding it for herself at this very moment. Selvaria shivers as her swimsuit is moved aside, letting water into direct contact with her now bare pussy and she can't help but gasp as she beholds Blanche's huge cock with her own eyes. It looked comically large in comparison with her own tiny frame, and even as she was lifted gently from the water and the shaft was lined up with her virgin slit, she couldn't help but wonder if it was really going to fit. It was, as it happened. Selvaria groaned loudly at the filling of Blanche's cock spreading her lips, a noise she swiftly muffled by kissing Felix again. She sought to distract herself from the foreign sensation of intense fullness by focusing on her adorable pet. The strange tendril she seemed to have summoned was most curious indeed, and upon seeing how Felix took pleasure from touching her with it, she took a hand and begin stroking it ever so gently, observing the blobs reactions and changing her movements accordingly. She winces slightly as she feels Blanche's cock push slowly through her hymen, and breaks her kiss with Felix momentarily to take several deep breaths. She was grateful to have such a gentle partner in Blanche, even if the Spectross' size is anything but that. After all she had taken inside her thus far, it surprises her to hear Blanche ask if she is ready, until she looks down and sees that they had indeed only just begun. They had managed to work some of Blanche's thick shaft into her tight slit, but there was still plenty more where that came from. Selvaria takes another deep breath before simply nodding for Blanche to continue, then groans once more as her tunnel is filled more than she had ever thought possible. And yet, once Blanche has thrust as deeply as she could and begins to pull out so she can thrust again, Selvaria finds she has acclimated to the large cock that has stuffed her full. Her groans gradually raise in pitch until she is moaning sweetly, in part thanks to the return of Blanche's gentle touch to her breasts. Before she realizes it, Selvaria finds herself instinctively bucking her hips in time with Blanche's thrusts, helping the Spectross bury herself deeper in her tight pussy. "Hmmmn~ Ohhh~ I-I'm sorry B-blanche.... I-I'm s-sorry for b-being so t-tight... Mmmmn~~" She apologizes, between moans and gasping breath, having somehow taken the tightness of her pussy to be a negative trait and driven by the desire to help Blanche take pleasure in it as much as she possibly can.
Ophelia smiles back at Lily when she smiles. She is not sure if it is a development thing or a "The innocence of this child makes me happy" thing, but it is a thing regardless. Annie's content sigh and gentle touch only serves to make the moment shine even further for her. She begins to pay attention when Annie asks their companions about the egg. Given that Annie did not know anything about it, she did not expect much from the other two. So it is more than a mild shock when Verger seems to know exactly what's going on. She is also glad that the Bard answers her earlier question on whether she has a spare guitar to be able to afford giving Lily her other one. Based on what she sees of the new instrument, it does not look like she has given up much. Or at the very least she very obviously has a favorite out of the guitars she has. She does wonder if it means the earlier statement about her... Guitar Buster Sword (and fuck if that is not a strange sounding weapon. She kind of wants to see it) being back in the room has any weight to it seeing as the Bard seems entirely able to summon instruments from out of nowhere.
But then her musings take a backseat to the tale Verger is painting. She feels the blood drain from her face and then erupt into a furious blush. She means... but the Gift... holy shit, that egg is her child!? At first she thinks her conclusion is far too implausible, but when she sees the color flood Annie's face, she knows her detective has come to the same conclusion. Using Masino's Gift to her, she somehow managed to impregnate Annie and, instead of a normal pregnancy, she suddenly had an egg. She... they are going to be mothers. Actual, non-adoptive mothers! She... is in no way, shape, or form ready for this! How is this even possible!? Is Masino's blessing so powerful that it overrides biology itself!? If she had any idea that she was capable of such things... well, she might have still had her orgasm inside of Annie. Her first time with Masino's Gift was so overwhelming that she was barely in control of herself. She likely would not have remembered until it was too late. But still! She thought she was unprepared when she took Lily as an adopted daughter! This seems so much worse!
Or... does it? She has already been told she is doing rather well as a mother by a variety of sources and she already feels a protective urge for the egg that meets or exceeds the one she feels for Lily. Maybe she will be okay? That she and Annie will somehow raise this child alright? Well, the first thing, she supposes, would be waiting for the egg to hatch. Everything else can come after that. Bringing herself down from the panic she almost whipped into herself, she hides her face behind Annie's to disguise the burning her face is still doing. Geez, she knows she was just discussing children with Annie, but she would have imagined this would have been planned better. "My sincere apologies, Annie. I had no idea this was a possibility." She whispers into her detective's ear. Gathering what will she can, she speaks up. "Does... does the tale speak of the aftermath? Specifically how long it took for their love to blossom?" There, should be suitably vague enough for Alice and Aurora, who do not seem to have figured out what this means, to stay in the dark. She needs to discuss with Annie what she wishes to be revealed. Well, she needed to speak with Annie regardless, but with the recent news some of her personal habits have become unacceptable.
When Selvaria strokes Felix’s appendage, the Blob shivers more and jiggles, swaying its body foreward so that the appendage slides back and forth across Selvaria’s hand more, the creature also ensuring to hold its kiss with her, licking and sucking her tongue as it lets out pleasured squeaking sounds, more of the substance dripping from the tip of the appendage and soaking Selvaria’s hand, making it wet and slick. Blanche giggles softly through her soft moaning as Selvaria apologizes “Th-that’s a mmmph~ good thing, darling~” she moans out, as she begins picking up her pace, bucking her hips gently, but faster, stretching Selvaria’s pussy with every thrust as leans over and takes Selvaria’s right nipple into her mouth, sucking it gently while groping and massaging her other breast with one hand, and holding her hip with the other, using it to help her up and down on her giant cock.
When Ophelia whispers to Annie that she’s sorry, Annie recomposes herself and whispers back “Well… we wanted one… here it is.” she whispers back, as she motions towards Lily, then the egg beside the bath. “We have each other, all three of us, it will be fine.” she adds. When Ophelia asks Verger about how long it takes the hatch, she catches the meaning immediately “That depends on them, I heard that it happens faster if it’s kept close.” she says, with a winning smile. Luthica starts laughing again, but soon manages to stifle her laughter “Oh, Annie. Well, congratulations, at least.” she says, before turning to Ophelia, and winking at her as she asks “So, was it... you know.” she makes a motion with her hand, pushing her fingers through the others, in a lewd gesture that was supposed to resemble a hymen being penetrated. In response, Alice just looks even more puzzled, while Aurora blushes and starts using her hands to splash water on her own face, making nervous whining noises. Lily releases her grip on Ophelia and rests a hand on Aurora’s back, patting her gently “Iz otay, laydee.” she says, softly hooting with each pat while Aurora sits and blushes. Alice finally speaks up, feeling left out now “I’m so confused, what’s everyone getting that I’m not?” she asks, to which Aurora, still being patted by Lily, replies “I don’t know, but they’re talking about lewd stuff...” she says, which just causes Alice to grin “Well, now I definitely want to know!” she then leans in and whispers to Ophelia “Come on, fill me in, cutie~” she says.
Selvaria might have giggled at the way Felix seemed to enjoy her stroking the strange appendage it had produced, if she hadn't been too busy moaning intensely as Blanche picked up the pace. Even as she felt her mind start to blank out with pleasure, she couldn't help but wonder what that substance was that was being rubbed all over her hand. Did it have that delicious plum taste she got from kissing her blob? She wanted to know, and so Selvaria regretfully removed herself from the kiss they shared and moved the appendage to her mouth so she could suck on it, feeling that Felix would likely enjoy that as well. It was a bit embarrassing that Blanche had to correct her on her assumption regarding tightness, but Selvaria could still take solace in knowing that the Spectross was obviously enjoying this too judging by the way her thrusting increased in speed. "MMmm~ Mmmmmmn~" She moans out around the blob in her mouth, wanting to convey that sentiment to Blanche, but failing miserably at trying to talk with her mouth full and swiftly giving up. It was enough to hear Blanche's moans intermingle with her own and know that they were both taking pleasure from this act of lust. Blanche busies her mouth as well, resuming sucking on Selvaria's nipple, sending shivers of pleasure running through her body. Selvaria could feel a new sensation starting to build up throughout her body. It felt as though an even greater ecstasy awaited her if she continued to pick up the pace of Blanche's thrusts into her tight pussy. It drove her to wrap her legs around Blanche's waist, using that leverage to help drive that delightfully massive cock even deeper and faster inside of her.
A soft smile crosses Ophelia's face as Annie affirms that while the child is not expected, her detective is willing to stand by her regardless. Annie is taking this a lot better than she would, she cannot help but think. If someone had accidentally impregnated her, she would be most cross and might do something rash. Well, the exception would be if Annie or Alice did it, but she would need some sort of warning first. Otherwise she may be annoyed with them for a time. But Annie, her beautiful Annie, not only forgives her but seems to see this as something to look forward to. She hugs Annie closer to her, feeling love pool in her heart. She cannot bring herself to move her face out of Annie's hair as she listens to Verger. So, she simply needs to keep the... her egg close to encourage her child to come into the world. Well, that should not be a problem for this group. Between Lily and herself, the egg will likely become annoyed with their presence and hatch simply to tell them to leave the child alone. She is tempted to ignore the crude question Luthica asks, if only because she doubts Annie would appreciate her answering it. "I have the suspicion I would not survive answering that question." She says instead, deciding to go the teasing route.
She can tell the instant Aurora figures out that what they are talking about is lewd in nature. And honestly, it takes a bit of effort to avoid laughing at Alice's sister's reaction. Especially since Lily is attempting to comfort the woman. Laughing at her would send a message that empathy is to be laughed at. She would rather not do that given how she knows what happens when an individual lacks it. It is why she faces such discrimination on a regular basis. She is forced to restrain a chuckle when Alice seems to be the only one who does not know what is going on. She wonders if Annie would mind if Ophelia told the Paladin of what was going on? Well, given Annie does not seem to wish to separate from Alice, the truth will come out sooner or later. "That egg in the pack? It seems to be a child created by Annie and myself." She says, simple and to the point.
When Selvaria breaks the kiss, Felix whimpers a little, only to cease and resume letting out pleasurable moans when she takes the appendage into her mouth, shuddering and jiggling even more, the substance leaking into her mouth, tasting like Banana Jelly. The substance runs down her tongue and into her throat, as Felix rocks back and forth to slowly move its appendage in and out of her mouth. Blanche sucks on Selvaria’s nipple even harder as she picks up the pace of her thrusting, starting to pant into Selvaria’s breast as she nears orgasm, her giant cock throbbing inside her. After several moments of continued thrusting, Blanche thrusts as deep as her cock will reach, then holds it there as she moans out loudly and begins firing off several huge loads of cum into Selvaria’s pussy, a lot of it leaking out of her and running into the bath as it overfills her. Felix soon follows, jiggling the most it ever has before, until suddenly firing off several loads of the substance into Selvaria’s mouth, overfilling it and causing it to run down her chin and onto her chest. When the blob finishes pumping the substance into Selvaria’s mouth, it settles down and goes mostly still as it lets out a satisfied “Murr~” sound and its usual crooked smile crosses its face.
Annie reaches up and strokes Ophelia’s cheek as she feels her hug tighten around her. When Ophelia jokes that she wouldn’t survive answering the question, Verger laughs “Yeah, Luthica, I’m pretty sure that’s too personal.” she says, poking her cheek with her index finger “Besides, you already know the answer, given her personality.” she adds, as she strums across her guitar “There onc-” she starts a song, but Luthica interrupts her “Okay, not everything needs a song. I just wanted to embarrass her~” she says, smiling at Annie as she blushes again. Lily takes notice of the conversation and chimes in “Singah laydee no sing?” she asks, as she continues patting Aurora on the back. “No singing this time, Luthica stopped her.” Alice says, playfully. “Whewficca?” Lily repeats back, cocking her head, no longer paying attention to her patting, having gotten used to the motion by now. “Sorry, Lily, Singer Lady needs to rest her voice.” she says, apologetically. When Ophelia says that the egg is her child with Annie, she stares at her for a moment, a confused expression on her face, however, after a moment, she looks at Annie, who nods slowly “I thought you were kidding for a moment, but I guess in that context, the conversation makes sense... ” she says slowly, before adding “Well, congratulations~” as she leans in and hugs Annie and Ophelia tightly “I can’t wait to see what they look like when they hatch, it’ll have to be a beautiful child, since it came from the two of you~” she says, before adding “... We’ll need to teach them about great JUSTICE!” she says. Aurora looks just as baffled as Alice was, but blinks away that confusion when Alice shows how pleased she is “Well… uh… congrats, Ophelia… Annie… this is certainly an interesting way to have a child, but I guess there’s always something people won’t be able to understand...” she says, slowly, blushing again. “Wait, that means you two… did... ” she says, blushing even more as she sinks back into the Noter… after a few moments, Aurora speaks again “A-a-anyway, where’s your detective agency?” Aurora asks, suddenly, changing the subject after seemingly having recovered from her embarrassment temporarily. “It’s on the west side of the city, you’ll recognize it by the purple stripes, not to worry.” she says, smiling “You should all visit sometimes, Verger is a great cook.” she says, to which Verger replies “Luthica isn’t, because she doesn’t cook. Ever.” she says, smirking at Luthica. “Whewficca no kewk?” Lily asks, cocking her head in the other direction as she continues patting Aurora on the back, who seemed to have grown used to it by now, not bothering to stop Lily. Verger laughed “Nope, Luthica does not cook, not even once. Other people used to do that for her, but that’s a story for another time.” she says, to which Luthica replies “Or, you know, never.” as she brushes her hair out of her face. “Ohhh~?” says Alice “Were you wealthy, but… you know… did something to upset your parents lots?” she asked, leaning towards Luthica as if she was ready to be told a secret, though without taking her hands off Ophelia.
Ophelia takes a moment to ponder something: She is now really glad that she did not go with her initial name when it came to Lily. If the girl is having such troubles pronouncing Luthica's name, she may have had issues with Helena or anything more complex. She really should come up with a nickname for the Rune Mage, however, so Lily stops butchering the woman's name. She is not altogether certain that Lily even knows Verger's name. Well, she obviously does since every time Verger is mentioned, Lily translates it over to Singer Lady, but obviously the same will have to be done with Luthica. But what nickname to give? She does not wish to continue the "Lady" motif and have Lily call the Mage "Rune Lady", but she does not know enough about her to make a moniker based on her personality. Well, besides being intensely personal with some of her questions, but that seems like a terrible thing to base a nickname off of. Maybe a shortening of the woman's name? The "Luth" part of it seems to be what Lily trips over the most, so would Hica work? She will try it and see if Lily can pronounce that easier.
She has to resist a frown when Alice mentions teaching the child JUSTICE, knowing Alice would take it poorly if she does. This sort of thing is exactly why she trusts Annie to be a mother more than Alice. She worries about the paladin shoehorning her child into a role similar to Alice's instead of letting the child explore and figure out what she wants to do and what she likes. It is a little too public right now, but she will absolutely have to have a conversation with Alice about what is acceptable to teach her child. It seems she has to have a great many conversations with those important to her today. And she honestly doubts she will enjoy any of them. Instead of saying what she is thinking, she simply says, "Thank you." for their congratulations and leaves it at that. She then searches desperately to drag her out of her growing funk.
While she is doing so, she finds herself having to restrain a giggle. The fault lies squarely at the feet of Lily and Aurora. Particularly how Aurora has grown so comfortable with Lily patting her consolingly, that she does not appear to notice the girl is still doing it. She wonders just how long it can for and if she has some way of timing it. Will Lily's arm get sore at some point? All semi-amusing questions to answer, she thinks. She notes the location and colors of the Runic Bard team's agency, but the majority of her thoughts are still with Lily's actions. She tunes in when Luthica's inability to cook is revealed simply because Alice seems to take an interest in the subject. "We have shared the story of how we met Lily. Among other things." She feels a small blush as she remembers just how riotously Luthica laughed at their new circumstances. "Surely this story cannot be as bad. If it helps, I cannot cook either. Or, more to the point, I have never once attempted it."
Selvaria is suprised, though not unpleasantly, to learn that substance leaking from Felix's appendage is not the same plum flavored taste she had experienced earlier, but instead an entirely different delicious fruit flavor. Truly, her pet was a treasure trove of unexpected surprises. Seeing the way the blob was so clearly enjoying thrusting into her mouth and coating her tongue and throat with it's jelly flavoring, Selvaria did her best to pleasure the appendage with her tongue and take it as deeply into her mouth as she could. Her focus on Felix is disrupted somewhat, as Blanche's movements capture her attention. Selvaria could feel that thick shaft pulsing against her tight walls, and there was almost a desperation to the way she was thrusting now. The Spectross must be feeling something similar to what Selvaria herself is at this very moment, her own core throbs with need and she feels on the cusp of an even greater pleasure. Without a second thought, Selvaria gives herself over to that pleasure, her eyes rolling back in her head as her legs wrap tighter around Blanche's waist, clinging to the other woman for dear life as she rides her cock. When she finds herself plunged as deeply onto Blanche's dick as she could manage and feels those hot jets of cum fill her up, Selvaria is pushed over the edge. Her legs tremble, her wings spread victoriously and she moans intensely around the appendage in her mouth, happily swallowing the copious amounts of the sweet substance that Felix shoots down her throat as she experiences her first orgasm. Why had she been avoiding this for so long, Selvaria can't help but wonder in her blissful state. There must be some reason, but for the life of her, she simply could not recall it at this moment. As Felix withdraws its appendage, Selvaria gives it a lust drunk smile, finding it adorable as always in it's blissful state of rest. She slides Felix back onto her shoulder to rest and wraps her arms around Blanche, panting heavily as she comes down from her orgasmic high. "B-Blanche.... Th-hat... Mmmm~ .... Was amazing..." Selvaria mumbles, smiling softly at Blanche and planting a kiss on her lips, unaware of Felix's banana jelly flavored substance that still remained all over her. She could lay her forever, filled by Blanche and embracing her, blissfully unaware of her surroundings and troubles.
Luthica rubs runs a hand through her hair as Ophelia tells her that she owes her information about herself for what she and Annie shared, then shrugs. “Alright, I guess I’ll share. You see, I used to be the daughter of a wealthy merchant, however he and my mother had told me not to leave the house. Naturally, that means that I left the house… well, I didn’t just leave the house, I actually decided to travel with a group of Wanderers who were passing through town. Well, by passing through, I mean getting run out of town, but I really wanted to see Norn, so I went with them. I didn’t return home until ten years later, and when they saw me, I was no longer welcome. So, while I USED to be wealthy, I am no longer wealthy, because my parents cut me off. Everything is technically left to my younger sister.” she explains, sighing. “Though, I’ve met nice people and learned valuable skills, so I’m not actually heartbroken that I had to give up my inheritance.” she adds, while Verger pats her on the back. “I, on the other hand, have never been anything other than a Bard, so there really isn’t much to tell. I’ve been everywhere, so I didn’t mind settling down and helping Luthica with cases for a time. I may leave eventually, but there really isn’t anywhere else to see. Maybe I can cross the water and see if there’s anything over there someday.” she says, before adding “Though, I guess I’d have to be ready to die before I did that.” she says jokingly. “How do we know there’s anything over there besides more water?” Aurora asked, to which Alice responds “That’s why someone would want to check, to find that out. Well, that, or for the sake of adventure!” Alice says, striking a triumphant pose. “I don’t think it’s worth it, traveling across the water is too dangerous, and for all we know, at best it’s more land.” Annie says. Lily perks up when Annie says this and replies “Wand? Dewt… wocks… gwass… waaand.” she says, as she dips a hand into the noter and tries to pick up part of it, only to watch it fall through her fingers. Verger chuckles again as she watches Lily “Anyway, I suppose we had best get back to work. The investigation won’t conduct itself, and the longer it takes, the more people could get hurt.” she says, stretching before pulling herself up and out of the noter. Luthica sighs and follows her “Well, it has been fun, nice meeting you all, Lily, Ophelia, Alice, Aurora, and nice seeing you again, Annie. I hope to see you again soon, and please remember that you’re always welcome to visit us at any time.” she says, with a friendly smile and a wave. Verger waves as well, as she begins walking towards the door with Luthica “See you again soon, ladies, I hope!” she says, as the two walk out of the room. Annie, Alice, and Aurora wave back at them and say their goodbyes, while Lily waves with both hands “Bye bye, Singah Laydee, bye bye, Whewffficca! Fanks for geetah!” she says. When the two are gone, Alice gropes Ophelia’s ass and smiles at her, while Annie looks up at Ophelia “Speaking of cases, didn’t we have something to do today, as well?” she asks.
When Selvaria has her orgasm and tells Blanche how much she enjoyed it, she smiles “I’m glad you had fun, too, cute little Selvy~” she says, after which she returns Selvaria’s kiss. When they break their kiss, Blanche gently grabs Selvaria’s top and moves it back into place, covering her bare breasts. “I have to go take on another job or I could lose my room here, but… I do want to see you again, so please, come see me at room 24 anytime, cute little Selvy~” Blanche says, as she gently gropes Selvaria’s ass for a moment, before grabbing her hips and starting to slowly pull her gigantic cock out of her, the massive amount of cum she was filled with slowly spilling into the noter now that it wasn’t blocked by the Spectross’ cock anymore. She then gently kisses Selvaria on the lips again, while using one hand to move Selvaria’s bikini bottoms back into place, after which she begins making her way towards the steps of the bath, using one hand to wave at Selvaria as she went. Felix, meanwhile, moves towards Selvaria’s cheek, resting against it as it closes its eyes and begins breathing softly, nuzzled up against her.
Selvaria can't help but feel sad to hear that Blanche is leaving so soon, but ultimately she understands, being a mercenary herself. Being such a well regarded mercenary group, the Friendly Mushroom guild must have strict standards, lest people just free load off of their luxurious rooms. Selvaria lets out a whimper as their kiss is broken, followed by an elongated moan as the cock she had come to enjoy so much was slowly removed from her pussy. It feels a little embarrassing, watching all that cum flood out of her slit, still gaping slightly from the fucking it had just recieved, and soiling the noter for any who used the bath after them. She feels the same when she gazes upon Blanche's gigantic cock one last time, still in awe of its size as well as her ability to fit such a large object inside of her. "I... I hope we can meet again as well Blanche. Be safe and best of luck on your next job." Selvaria replies quietly, cupping Blanche's cheek with her hand as they share one last kiss before parting a little regretfully. She returns Blanche's wave with one of her own, smiling for the Spectross as she departs before leaning back and relaxing. Her hips felt weak from her first sexual experience and she was now a little dirtier than she had been when she came into the bath in a way. Feeling Felix nuzzled up against her cheek, Selvaria rubs the blob affectionately as she rests in the noter.
Now that her head is a little more clear, she can reflect on what just happened as she relaxes. Looking back, it was unbelievable that she had become so enamored with Blanche and been willing to engage in such lustful acts. Time and time again, she had turned away those who approached her and yet this time, the moment she let Blanche close enough to discuss Felix with her, she had been so caught off guard by being complimented and touched that she didn't know what to do. This was not good... Her willingness to devote herself to others had led her to become a murderous bandit until she was betrayed in the past, she had shut herself off from others for so long to prevent that from happening again. And yet... She had never been willing to give herself to her bandit companions in the way she had just done with Blanche. Was that merely a sign that her will had become weaker over time, or were things truly different this time? It felt too dangerous to hope for the latter, but she couldn't deny that she had taken great pleasure in sharing such an act of lust with Blanche. For all her pondering on the matter, it was difficult for Selvaria to decide how to proceed from here. Perhaps it would be best to just focus on the task at hand for now and see where things go from there. And perhaps spending more time with Blanche when the opportunity arises, to learn more about the mysterious Spectross and sort out some of her feelings about what had happened, wouldn't be such a bad idea either...
Selvaria decides to clear such thoughts from her head for now, relaxing and cleaning herself until she notices that Luthica and Verger seem to be departing as well. If the others had finished their little chat, then it would be time to move on soon. Before she could receive Annie's assistance with her own case, she had to help Annie secure somebody's safety, although it was still a mystery as to who that was to Selvaria. The sooner they got this done the better though, so Selvaria rises to get out of the bath, her legs still a bit shaky from earlier. Finding a spot outside the bath where no one else was around, she flaps her wings furiously, shaking them dry in a way that was more efficient than trying to do so by hand, then finds a towel to dry the rest of her body. Her gear was still up in Aurora's room, so they would need to return there first, but she would wait for the others to finish bathing and head up there with them, rather than go alone.
Ophelia feels a great deal of disgust for Luthica's family for what they have done. Not only were they every bit as restrictive as she despises, they also abandoned their child because of something as minor as not following their every whim. Simply because she wished to be more than a princess locked in her tower, she no longer has any support from her parents and she has not heard anything about her now rich little sister doing anything to rectify the mistakes of their parents. Alice, Annie, Lily, and herself are not a conventional family, but if anyone even suggested for her to abandon them as easily, they would find themselves wearing their entrails as a necklace and their blood as nail polish. At the very least, Luthica seems to have gained something much more than those disloyal, pathetic specimen who called themselves her family. "I am sorry you had to go through such pain. I am glad, however, that you seem to have found people more inclined to be loyal to you in their stead." She says, hoping Luthica does not take it the wrong way.
By comparison, Verger is a lot simpler... and not at the same time. It is rather suicidal to her to wish to travel the water. Bold, but suicidal. She figured the Bard had a lot more zest for life than that. Ending it via sea monster sounds like a terrible way to end. It is concerning that Alice seems to be on board with this plan. With a look of worry, she turns back to her Paladin. "Please do not go to water. Even if you were successful in finding new lands, I do not like your likelihood of returning here. That would worry me greatly." She simply cannot see herself going to water. She has Lily and her currently unborn child to worry about and risking herself in such a manner would be the height of irresponsibility. Not to mention how worried her children would be without her. She is not sure Lily would be able to get by. She is cute enough that she would probably get adopted again, but what if the ones who pick her up are like her birth mother? Lily has been doing so well learning and she would hate for all the progress to be reversed. Or worse. Given how innocent Lily is, it is not hard at all for Ophelia to imagine some pervert taking advantage of that. No, aquatic exploration is not in the cards for her.
Ophelia nods when the other detectives make their excuses and begin to head off. "May your days be peaceful and we meet again." She says in farewell. She does make a mental note though that she really needs to work on Lily's pronunciation. While it is cute, it occasionally makes it hard to understand her, which is really not for the best. Lily is cute enough without that. Her thoughts are derailed, as they so often seem to be, by Alice groping her. Her paladin really is incorrigible. She forces down her blush to turn her attention to Annie. They are probably past the point of keeping secrets from each other. She is about to have a child with Annie for crying out loud! They really should know what they are getting into before it happens at this point. "Yes. We were to meet my handler, Lady Natalia Techra. She has held my freedom in her hands since I was a child. My first memories are of being in her care. Because of the Colosseum, I have reason to believe both that she is getting into something that brings retribution and that she is currently in danger. I would like to make certain that she is OK for my lifelong association, find out what she has been doing for JUSTICE, and then leave her service so that I may stay with all of you without the risk of being called away."
