The Grandcypher

[Apollymi]

It seemed that Kou also took in the look of this new place. Miki could appreciate it to, as a Japanese native. Imagine the food to be found in a place like this! It was as if thinking about food alone was enough to make the blonde lass' stomach growl expectantly. Miki managed to look a bit embarrassed but settled into floating atop her pillow after hearing the words of both Kou and Bulma. "Hisakawa let me know if you need anything for the repairs..." she said to that young woman who gave a quick nod. "Hai hai. This might be as high as you can go right now... I'll let you know if I figure anything out," Bulma responded. She looked at where they landed and it seemed to be a small island stranded in the middle of a lake with a large bridge leading into something which looked a bit more like a city.

In the meantime, Kou's words to Miki registered in her ear and she began floating towards the downed ramp of the ship, only to eventually take up on foot. Knowing that, as a Druid a connection to the land could potentially help in diagnosing this area. "Hai, sounds like a great idea. Besides... if the ship is a TARDIS we probably need to do something while we're here. We can at least get some breakfast before work~" she mentioned in a jokingly sarcastic way. A new bit of adventuring together couldn't really count as a date without downtime. And she didn't expect to get any downtime really until whatever was going on here was resolved. Still there was no reason for them not to enjoy the time here while they had it. Actually, there was something kind of exciting about this new place. Or maybe she was just still left over a bit pleased from the night before and it was spilling over into her proper wakefulness.

Adventure Continues Here.

[Bloodedge]

Tamamo found herself feeling a bit warm inside. What was this feeling? Acceptance. There was a certain amount of comfort which came with the idea that the lad understood and accepted her, even without using his words to convey that information. What was more, she found it amusing that she could say what she wanted just because she wanted to. With or without a reaction from the lad, she was quite sure he knew and understood what she meant, and because of this, she felt particularly giddy. Giyu for his part after her minor flirtation mentioned to the other two, that they'd brought breakfast. Kuroka seemed to take this information without any great outward sign to show that she cared one way or another. Of course, the moment of eye contact between her and Giyu was strange, she found the look to be worthy of a small upturn of her lips. 'Well, if we don't want to be recognized we shouldn't run around wearing our own faces,' she thought to herself. Of course, there was something rather strange about Kuroka, but perhaps that wouldn't be explained until later.

Tamamo had nothing of substance to say in the moment. "Leave him alone, he's super cute this way!~" Tamamo said in Giyu's defense and as a matter of light flirtation. In particular to the commentary directed at his 'emo' state. If she was being honest, she found this state just as appealing as any of his others, perhaps a bit more because of the 'realness' of it. Though she did enjoy looking at the otherworldly beauty that came from Kou. What was more she had a bit more biting commentary for the young slime. "If you're going to be like that you definitely need some breakfast, you're obviously cranky..." Tamamo said teasing lightly as was her way. This was basically an invitation to breakfast and to meet with the rest of the crew as promised. Of course, there were many reasons for this, but the small ones first. All the while Kuroka noted this new found closeness and decided further observation was necessary so she'd follow Giyu as he carried the Kitsune towards the ship, obviously it was fine if they went aboard in tow with this group.

Giyu's movement did not cease until he set foot on the Grandcypher's deck. Breakfast was the matter of importance, and he was not one to dawdle while having a goal to achieve. Alas, there was one more thing; he wished to find Hikari while Tamamo remained in tow. It was easy enough to follow the scent of the only Demi-human anywhere near where they were, so that was just what he did to locate her. Of course, this brief journey would not separate them from the hopping, and apparently unsatisfied blue Slime. Rimuru bounced along behind the two Adventurers, having nothing to say about the goings-on, the crew of this ship, or anything else for that matter. Why was he even here? He couldn't answer that question himself. Ah, but that wasn't important. Giyu would soon be stumbling upon Hikari wherever she happened to be, and when he did, he would waste no time before speaking. "We need the third member. Time for your second Avatar."

[Apollymi]

Giyu seemed to be a man of extreme concentration. His path took him (and given her placement, Tamamo), onto the Grandcypher. Kuroka followed behind and so did the hopping slime, Rimuru. As they moved along, they'd be following a strange path into the ship, until the came across a certain place. Walking the halls, a young Demi-Human with raccoon ears and a tail would be seen. She seemed to have a generally pleased look upon her face and had been headed towards the library of the ship, where she had a standing 'date' with a certain Atlantean Male. Mostly she wanted to check up on him before looking into a particular food situation. But soon her path would cross with the group as a whole with one of them speaking to her immediately. Her eyes widened greatly as she recognized the form of her brother, which was so dangerously close to being his original form, that she might have smacked him for his earlier commentary. 'You've got to be kidding me...' Hikari's mind was working overtime.

Still his words hit her ears, and they made her frown intensely. "Good morning, Hikari-chan, my adorable sister~" she said flatly, it seemed she was now brimming with an attitude which seemingly spawned from nowhere. "Fancy weather we're having. Nice to see no one died in the crash landing this morning. Hope you slept well. I brought breakfast..." she mused through a list of things she would have rather heard first thing in the morning. "These are greetings, BAKA-NII!!" she said with her ears twitching slightly. She took in this group as a whole and made a few mental decisions. The pink haired Kitsune, shared the face structure of Ashikaga Kimiko so she could easily see this was her. The lass she wanted to be her big sister was strewn over the shoulder of her brother. This was also good. Ah, but there were new people too. A scantily clad... Tengu and a small angry looking slime. A chuckle escaped the Kitsune. "Well, I mean we did bring breakfast. And presents. Ohayou, Hikari-chan!~" Tamamo said with amusement in her tone. "Eh, new form for you too. At least someone know's how to say good morning," she said seeming to praise the lass only to make a small biting comment. "But you're already picking up strays, minus two points. And this slime is angry..." she said looking at closely. Whatever the case, she'd never really turn down her brother regardless of how she felt about his choice in greeting words. "Sou ka, am I making a Youkai then, is that what you need a third one of? Is there a theme out there I don't know about?"

[Bloodedge]

Demands of a proper greeting were essentially the first words spewed from Hikari's mouth, but Giyu seemed unperturbed by all she had to say. "Urusai," he said in retort. There was no need to waste time with hellos and small talk, nor was there a need to do anything other than address the point. The quicker they got to said point, the quicker they could make progress in this realm. "Otakemaru lives in this body. That makes you compatible with Shuten-doji." With just that said, Giyu shifted his gaze over his shoulder, to Tamamo. A simple gesture implied a need to present the proper Artifact. "Shuten's gourd," he said.

In the meantime, Rimuru seemed to be perking up a bit. Who was this raccoon girl? Whoever she was, she was clearly worth hopping onto the head of, as the Slime's attitude adjusted to a more neutral... or even a positive one. He once again intended to remain silent, playing the role of an ordinary Slime until outed or otherwise revealed as what he truly was. Giyu apparently had no intention of speaking about the Slime, instead continuing to address the 'important' things. "You'll be an Oni; that's the 'theme' there isn't much choice over. No one else could claim the power of Shuten."

[Apollymi]

"There are points? I didn't know there were points..." this was Tamamo's only sentence. Still, it seemed that Giyu wasn't at all for any of Hikari's nonsense. Actually, he was so straight to the point, that it was like that one time when they were kids. "Eh, you shouldn't have let him hold the itinerary. It'll get boring, Nee-san, yes there are points, but it's complicated... you'll pick up the rules eventually," the raccoon girl advised. Still she was met with a bunch of strange information about the idea that Otakemaru was part of this lad before her and that this somehow made her compatible with the Youkai Shuten-doji. What was more, she watched as the lad simply looked to the girl over his shoulder and demanded some object he thought she had. She was about to object to the way the lad referenced his needs and his lack of manners but something strange would happen instead. "Hai hai, Mikon!~ I was already working on it..." Tamamo chimed, as she squeezed the lad in a gentle hug while producing the item in question. A small portal that shimmered a bit like starlight opened up beside her and out of it came a blue jeweled gourd about the length of an arm with a thick cloth band around the middle and two gold piercing pieces at the ends. "Here you are, Hikari-chan, it's the origin for Shuten-doji, you can make your new Avatar with it. It's all yours by the way, I got loads of stuff in that place," she said happily.

'What? This is some strange amount of cooperation even for them... ugh, but it doesn't seem like they have the right kind of connection. He's being so cold, but she called him Mikon... what the hell could that mean? And was that just a hug? What the hell have they been doing today? Why doesn't he acknowledge it... ugh, why do they have to be so difficult?' she was nearly gnashing her teeth together as her left cheek puffed up in frustration. Still, she'd been given an item and as such she took it from the portal as it was offered by Tamamo and she had nothing but trust for this pair of individuals. Of course, it wasn't missed by her that this slime landed on her head, but there were more pressing matters to attend to, her ears shifted slightly beneath it, as if confused. "But wait, isn't Shuten-doji a dude? I don't wanna be a dude... Mob boss of Oni does sound like fun though..." she said with consideration, as she looked over the gourd. She wondered where they'd come across such an item. "Also your new stray is already separated itself from you, were you mean to it?" she asked with biting jest in her tone.

[Bloodedge]

In regards to the 'points system' that existed between himself and Hikari for quite some time, Giyu once again had nothing to say. Would she take the offered gourd and assume the mantle of Shuten Doji, or would she have to go through some fit of rebellion beforehand? Either was an option, but it seemed she would choose the former. Giyu remained as patient as possible, seemingly even distant despite the fact that Tamamo's embrace also did nothing to deter him from leaving her in place. As for the matter of Hikari's next Avatar, her only verbal qualm was... its gender? "Baka," Giyu murmured before sighing. "It's only a source. Do what you want with it." It was as simple an explanation as he could manage. If she did not wish to be a male, she certainly didn't have to be. Perhaps she could be something other than the 'loli bait' he assigned to any other form she had. No, no; that wasn't very likely at all.

Ah, but what of the Slime those two my have been 'mean' to? Had they been? As a Slime, Rimuru clearly couldn't say anything about it. If he did, he'd completely blow his cover. There was, however, one clear reaction. Only one thing would truly give away all of the answers. One simple action could be taken to give away the truth, perhaps heralding a new age of treatment for Slimes everywhere. . .

"Yus!"

[Apollymi]

Giyu literally had no visible reactions. 'That's terrible! How on earth are they gonna hook up, if he's even less responsive than he was before. Baka-onii, this is how you lose the girl of your dreams. . .' Her thoughts were racing. How much extra work would she have to do to get these two hook up with her brother being this detached? The answer in her head was way too much, but the answer in actuality was none. But alas, she couldn't be privy to the way this pair of individuals worked. One of whom was obviously way too expressive for her own good, and the other who seemed to be not so clearly expressive. She couldn't know the kind of arrangement they already had, this pair of individuals likely wouldn't even think to mention it. As such, Hikari would be left to continue plotting on her brother's behalf. Or actually, it was more factual to say that Aiba Yumi would continue plotting on her brother's behalf, after all, she was about to make a new Avatar. "He's right though, you can change quite a bit about the base code but still keep the main bits and important powers. It's what I did, and I think this one turned out pretty good!~" Tamamo mentioned happily. "Also I wasn't mean," she said about the slime leaving out some major details as it wouldn't be necessary for her to clarify.

"Sou ka, I guess I'll..." Hikari paused. This Slime atop her head spoke in response to her asking this pair of they'd been mean to it. Her head shifted slightly to the left and she reached up with her unoccupied hand to move the blob and look at it properly. "Ah, you look like a plushy, Nee-san likes cute things. She had a really girly reaction to the familiars as well. So finding out you're like us was probably heart-breaking, that cover it?" she said seeming to understand the truth of the matter very easily based on what she knew of the teens. Still, there were some things which eluded her understanding. Even so, such an astute understanding made Kuroka chuckle. "Sou ka, you're quite clever as well. That observation is rather astute. Still a bit mischievous and meddlesome though... that makes sense," she said having used all the information she gathered to make the identification of this girl as the younger sister of Aiba Yugi. "And you are obviously way older than us. Like Kaiba and Bulma. Whatever, nice to meet ya' I guess. Excuse me though, I gotta become an Oni right quick..." she said placing the slime down and beginning to interact with the gourd. The golden light of the Nexus would show and she would begin the work necessary to make her avatar in the moment, but it would take a little while for her to finish it up. Actually looking at these code lines, and seeing the kinds of powers she had, there were a couple of fun things she could do. One of which was to base this character on a certain on one of her favorites from one of her obscure series she followed.

[Bloodedge]

What was going on in the mind of Hikari? Well, it didn't particularly matter. All she needed to know, had become clear. The only holdup at the time seemed to be the sudden speech of Rimuru, though the Demi-human had probably already surmised more than necessary about events surrounding the Slime. Had Giyu become any more impatient over a matter of moments, he'd have been tapping his foot where he stood. A simple set of goals were being held up by unnecessary tasks at this point; he'd have done away with the Slime ages ago if he'd seen this coming. "No need to chat about it," Giyu spoke. To top everything else off, Hikari immediately decided to take essentially forever when constructing her new Avatar. At the very least, he trusted that she would make something interesting out of the source, and something deeper within him trusted that Shuten Doji would be made no weaker as a result. Patience, then. All he needed was just a bit more patience, and Otakemaru would finally be reunited with the... sibling figure that was Shuten. "Just hurry it up. I'm still hungry."

[Apollymi]

"Oi oi, you can't rush excellence. Shush! Baka-nii!" the girl chided. The amount of impatience in this Avatar of her brother's was indeed something she was used to dealing with. It was quite organic to the sort of person he was, goal-oriented and all. Whatever the case, he claimed that he was still hungry and thus wanted her to speed up the process. But she had several things to do, so he would wait while she built a new character, regardless of his reasons for rushing. At the same time, Tamamo squeezed the lad a little and spoke softly to him, while rubbing her own face against the side of his. "If you're hungry I could just feed you some more. We have plenty after all!~" she playfully suggested, though she'd suggested several things for breakfast this day already, most of them still swimming in her own mind.

Whatever the case, Hikari still needed to have a conversation with this slime and the new comer, after all, she considered herself to be the boss behind the bosses. And beyond all of that she had plans and they needed to accept her terms before she'd be comfortable with them long term. From the golden light would emerge an Oni, who was the most obvious one seen to date. The girl's form shrank quite a bit and she became silvery pale. She had obviously long horns which seemed to be fleshy protruding form her forehead becoming wine red at the tips. Beyond this her hair became a short bob of purple hair, with clean cut forehead bangs. On her body were strange metal like undergarments which started at her neck and wrapped all the way down to her groin covering her chest but leaving most of her skin exposed. Over that she wore a dark colored kimono which was short with giant flowing red sleeves and a purple base. Around her waist appeared three gourds including the blue jeweled one which managed to be even large across than her petite body. She didn't seem to be 'loli' as much as she was petite. Her legs were covered in armor up to her knees but her feet were bare aside from some small metal bits that were the same as her undergarments. With this complete the girl was left to open eyes covered in red markings similar to the color at the top of her horns. When she did this action she revealed intensely purple eyes and smiled revealing very sharp teeth as well. But with this gentle opening of her mouth came an aroma of fruits and sweet wine. "Fufu. Your patience has been rewarded by Shuten-Douji. Yahello!~" she spoke with a slightly different voice, and a strangely unique attitude but she was still the same person she always was, with some new powers to show for her troubles.

[Bloodedge]

Excellence, she said. Something about that felt wrong. No, it wasn't excellence he was rushing; what he rushed was the improvement of a currently unfit state of being. While he struggled against impatience, Tamamo countered his mention of eating with another clause that could be taken multiple ways. Was she even speaking of sustenance at all this time? Her tone implied that both 'yes' and 'no' were viable answers to this curiosity, though either meaning garnered the same reaction from Giyu. He cut his eyes toward her once more, offering no animosity, no visible signs of approval, but surprisingly... a statement. "... Alright." What this meant exactly, he wouldn't specify. The second Oni to complete the legendary trio was being born anew into the body of a girl. Giyu had a certain anticipation building deep within himself, but the end result of the transformation would be a quirked brow from the male. Was that all? No. After one brow raised, one furrowed in the wake of Shuten's greeting. He even managed enough of a reaction to click his tongue against his teeth, before turning away. "That took forever. Finally. I'm going to my room," he said while finally shrugging loose of Tamamo's grasp. He would go on ahead, assuming she intended to distribute or grant access to the eggs they acquired so recently. A few things he'd noticed since returning left him wondering something... and he had to check for himself before doing anything else.

[Apollymi]

What did the Kitsune mean? The answer was simply... yes. She meant her statements most of them aimed at the lad anyways, to be taken both literally and figuratively. Given his current disposition she didn't expect much by a way of response, so imagine her surprise when he turned to her and responded verbally. "Hoh?!" fell from her face before she could really stop it. There was immediately a curious light in her eyes, did he mean that the same way she did? Should she believe such a thing without looking further into it? Ah, she supposed she'd find out soon enough... but before she did there was the matter of the creation of Shuten-douji and the distribution of breakfast. As such she didn't take offense when the lad shrugged her off after greeting his sister properly, she was left floating just above the ground. She said nothing in response to him, but noted that he was off to their room and she join him upon finishing up here.

"Hm, where's the galley, then? It's time for breakfast!~" chimed Tamamo. Shuten for her own part in this took note of her brother's reaction and laughed. "Fufu, no one cares... go on somewhere, Emo-nii," and just like that she turned and began leading the way to the galley. All the while her mind was working trying to figure out how to take the interaction between the two teens she'd just seen. 'Hm, they seem to to be okay. But that wasn't optimal... what should I do about this? Well, maybe these two will be useful. At the very least, the slime might know something worth finding out,' she thought of the two newcomers, her eyes cutting towards the blue creature. The tengu was content to follow the group towards breakfast. "Ah, right, in case you are the one to introduce her, this is Kitera Ume, Kaiba and Hisakawa will know who she is... And that's a really cute look for you, Shu-chan!~" chimed Tamamo as Shuten stopped inside of the galley. "Mm-hm, I'm always cute... you aren't usually so outwardly happy though. Kitsune life suits you, Nee-san," said Shuten, though she wasn't entirely sure what to make of the current face of Ashikaga Kimiko. Whatever the case, Tamamo did nothing but smile and move along. She found a single unclaimed cabinet and placed the golden orb in her possession against the knob. Doing so would create a door to a room within her treasury which she called group food. She had another which she called snacks but that one contained the portion she kept for the pair of teens to share in their room. She'd done a strange bit of organizing when she picked up all the breakfast. "There, that should do it, I'll put any weird groceries in there, and you can have at them as you like. And you can just cut the tops off and eat them, they are really good!~" she said happily. Assuming nothing else was needed from her, she'd head off towards her own room after a moment or two. Within the cabinet they'd find about a dozen individual boxed Yatagarasu Eggs for group consumption.

[Bloodedge]

In due time, Giyu set foot in the Captains' quarters of the Grandcypher. For the duration of his trip, there had been something bothering him beneath the surface. If there were two who had reason to know him outside of this world, those two were his own sister... and Kuroka. Why did both of them have eyes filled with recognition when this new Avatar appeared before them? Upon reaching the bathroom shared between Kimiko's variants and his own, he made haste to approach a grand mirror above the double-sink. When his eyes locked onto that mirror, those same eyes widened in view of themselves. How did he become... this? He'd gone out of his way to even alter the name of this Avatar, but that face and hair were far too close to reality for his preference. Could he have really continued looking this way at the current time in his life, had he chosen a path of athleticism? Perhaps he could have, but... maybe not like this. Standing in front of the mirror, Giyu pulled open his kimono to view his own upper body. 'Damn. I could have been shredded,' he thought while sliding a hand along his own chiseled torso.

[Apollymi]

While Giyu made his way to the Captain's Quarters, Shuten looked into this newly linked kitchen cabinet. "Huh, that thing my brother gave her does all that, lazy man inventions. . ." said Shuten but whatever the case she watched as Tamamo left. She was now a Kitsune so she gave it a few extra moments before she spoke properly and then she turned to face the slime and the tengu to share the information that they needed to know. "I don't know what your deal is, but there is only one thing the group here wants," she said with an amount of defiance and a bit of a devious light in her eyes. "Hooking up my brother and Nee-san," she said with clarity. "If you aren't on board say so now... I mean, they'll still do whatever they are going to do to help you, but we need all hands on deck for helping to make sure they don't screw up their hookup," Shuten said. "Whatever the case, think it over, and have some breakfast," she said offering both the silme and the tengu one of the eggs before taking one for herself. She'd never had it before, but the instructions were easy enough. This version of her was a bit more direct before Hikari might have gotten a feel for who these people were, but now, she just wanted information from them and to see if she had more partners for her overall plan. Kuroka for her part had listened to all of what the purple haired girl had said, found it strange the way she spoke that pair of teens were bad at communicating, but everything she'd seen of them said the exact opposite. Still she couldn't speak on what she knew, it would be a violation of privilege.

In the meantime, Tamamo made her way to the bedroom they shared. Upon entering she closed and locked the door behind her. She looked for the black haired lad, and let her ears and nose lead her to the open bathroom door where she watched silently for a moment as the lad appreciated his own form while looking in the mirror. She'd not seen him past his face since his newest Avatar and she could say very easily she appreciated the view. Actually, all of this wasn't good at all for the kinds of thoughts she had. That wasn't to say she liked this form over his other ones, it was just that she hadn't disliked any one she'd seen so far. Much like him, her tastes were rather open and she liked all sorts of things, in the physical sense. And now that she was looking, she was quite distracted, that was quite a bit of muscle, he was still lean though. He had a more normal look, not otherworldly beautiful, but handsome in a more realistic sense. The sort of face you'd assign an anime character if they were real instead of drawings. That was how she saw this, a bit closer to reality than imagination. Such presented a great deal of appeal, which she couldn't rightly explain.

[Bloodedge]

Within the galley, there would be an interesting topic brought up by the 'newborn' female Oni. She had a strange investment in the pair of teens that had just departed, and neither Kuroka nor Rimuru seemed to believe it was necessary. Rimuru, in fact, returned to his humanoid form while showing visible confusion, one hand on his hip, and his head tilted slightly. "Hook them up? They haven't been already?" he asked, and there was much sincerity in the question. His own understanding was much like that of those who belonged in this world. Hearing that there was a desire to 'hook them up' as it were, was something he would have never considered. Since the first meeting, he had every reason to believe they were... well, a couple.

Speaking of the budding relationship between nerds of opposing gender, they would be meeting indirectly at about the same time. As Giyu inspected himself, Tamamo was doing the same from a distance. Giyu did not possess the same Mana sensory as his counterpart, Kou, but there was something else working within him. Earlier, he sensed the murderous intent of the Kappa and company. Now though, he felt something else nearby, something very different indeed. "Yeah?" he questioned, still looking into the mirror instead of setting his gaze upon... the person who could have only been Tamamo.

[Apollymi]

Within the galley the female Oni began eating this Yatagarasu Egg and so did the female Tengu. While this occurred she noted the transformation of the Slime into a small being which didn't strike her as male or female but was fairly attractive nonetheless. He seemed confused by what she said so between bites she'd clarify knowing that this pair of teens often confused newcomers as to their relationship status. "Uh-huh, they got you too. They didn't know each other before now, and they are both really fuckin' awkward. And socially inept," she said having witnessed a lot of the happenings between this pair of teens and knowing her brother for literally all of her life. "They seem like a couple to everyone they come across, even to the the first people to see them together here. But as far as we have seen, they don't see each other like that. Hell, they didn't even claim to like each other until very recently," she said filling in some of the minor gaps. Given the surprise of this pair and the lack of time spent with them, she realized they must have given off a pretty strong vibe of coupling for them to believe they didn't need help. Kuroka gave consideration to the words of this lass, and she could see how the assumption of their awkwardness could lead one to believe that their relationship needed nurturing. While she couldn't say anything she'd figured out about the relationship between Ashikaga Kimiko and Aiba Yugi, she was almost certain they didn't currently require assistance from anyone, whether they'd initially needed help or not. "I have privilege to consider, I couldn't assist directly anyway," Kuroka mentioned, not that she thought they needed it. "Ah, Bulma-san has that same opinion. Kaiba-san doesn't have an interest either, but that is fine, his little sister is on our side. Regardless, we've been nudging them together quite a bit. Less direct in our approaches now, but they still need some help," she said with a firm nod of her own head. Little did she know. . .

Tamamo watched from just outside the bathroom as the lad inspected himself. She honestly found herself a bit lost, now her imagination was running. What was she thinking? What of all the things they could do? How would the hardness of this body compare to the current softness of her own? He was always pretty strong, what would he do with the extra muscles? How would these hands feel pressed against her skin? What would this version of him decide to do with her advances? This was all a bit too tantalizing. There were too many possibilities and the mind of a degenerate was a dangerous place. Her mouth was open as she looked him in the mirror, it wasn't until she heard his voice that she looked up in the mirror and met his eyes. "Ah... oh..." what could she say? She felt she'd been caught doing something naughty a small flush came to her face, but the amount of desire found in her person didn't change at all. "Definitely, yes!" she said as she pushed herself away from the door frame, and walked up to the lad's side. She couldn't help a curiosity of hers, and surely he wouldn't mind if she. . . Her finger trailed down his exposed torso and it kindled a strange amount of fire within her own loins.
