Pleasure City of Dis

[Apollymi]

That poor scrawny boy had been, treated as if he was a simple piece of furniture. The poor lass with him didn't know that the Queen he was going on and on about was the same one who'd been running this particular Kingdom. He was simply speaking, obsessed with her, even after she'd pretty plainly stated that he was nothing but trash to her, such was his nature. Oh well, he'd be sure to be roaming about the palace again eventually, Kolin was quite sure he had no intention of properly disappearing or anything. He never went very far away... she could easily admit to having forgotten his presence completely since he disappeared in the weeks prior. This girl had been doing her several favors, well... at least she was useful beyond taking on the body of the unwanted pregnancy of hers.

In the throne room, Jason was being treated to the fullest of body massages. Of course, Kolin was immediately pissed about all of the women hanging all over the man, even so, she couldn't presently actually be upset. That was one of the things, which was actually enforced by her own oath, she literally had to behave in his presence. His words reached her in their usual mocking tone. Ah, but she could do nothing but happily answer the man even. "Of course, Jason... I'm always happy to see you... but," she paused and thought about how to introduce this girl. Was she going to have to explain again? Ugh... something else to do today. "This kid is yours... well ours. She doesn't like it here so I figured I'd introduce you," she said thinking about it for a moment. "Huh... I suppose I didn't give you a name yet huh..." she said looking at the lass for several moments. Naming people granted extra powers as well... she supposed it would be the right thing to do, unless this girl wanted to name herself. Or Jason wanted to. At the same time Nerys was popping up, this time chasing after a woman with red hair and large breasts heading over to the bar for her first drink of the morning. She only appeared in this place when Kolin wasn't here... that wasn't a show she wanted to see. "Yare yare, I thought this show was over already... I figured I could have a drink in peace..." the white haired mage mumbled, oh... there was a younger blonde lass here as well. Welp, maybe this was worth watching for a moment or two.

[Bloodedge]

So, this was the one called Jason. The girl watched him take in the attention of so many at once, figuring he surely did something to be receiving so much public treatment without being charged. She heard many of the workers here walking by, talking of their conquests and other such things. No one who saw so many women at once in this place, could do so without infinite wealth. Besides, she was apparently the child of this man and Kolin, the latter of whom was far too self-centered to allow this sort of debauchery. The girl let these thoughts process while her 'parents' spoke, and was eventually grinning from ear to ear due to what she thought of it all.

This teenage girl, according to the whore queen, was... his? Rather, theirs? That should have been a ridiculous notion, but Jason had been around long enough to witness many oddities. He'd been under the assumption that Kolin had been impregnated on the Argo, just as he thought the same of Nerys after so many fillings for both. He could assume now, that Kolin employed an ancient method of skipping traditional birth... using a catalyst. At the very least, the more he looked at this girl, the less he could deny her being his child. Such was especially the case when she spoke. "Hello Dad!" she said almost sarcastically, becoming more serious in following moments. "You're the one really in charge here then, huh? How about getting me outta slut city so I can have some fuckin' fun?" she asked.

Yes, that was about all the confirmation Jason needed. He definitely wouldn't be keeping any child of his in this country, but she was more than an adult by the standards he followed. The most disturbing thing about that, though, was something he'd have to be righting immediately. Damned be Kolin's naming of the girl, and damned be the thought of her leaving before quite a few birthdays had gone unaddressed. Something should have been done many years ago in this person's life, but... also not for a few more years? Whatever the case, now was the time. "Get the girl a drink─ a strong one."

[Apollymi]

As this girl watched her 'parents' interact, Nerys did the same with a raised brow. She'd been gently wondering if that game mechanic played out here and was more than a little happy to find out it did. That would save her quite a bit of trouble eventually. As a female person who wasn't even interested in dicks she definitely wasn't interesting in passing a turkey sized baby through her body. "Huh, that's a bit of a relief... clever kid too," Nerys mentioned as she would once again be found with her face buried in a woman's chest while drinks were being served. Kolin managed to look just as haughty as she always did about this situation, in the last few weeks she could only be certain of the idea that Nerys truly preferred women. Get the girl a drink huh? Well, at the bar was that blue haired girl with the magenta eyes. She was always watching this sort of thing. She seemed a little amused by this entire situation. Still, she'd comply with this wish of Jason's and any kid who'd had to deal with Kolin directly deserved a drink or twelve. Besides all that, this one was at least familiar with the particular rite taking place here.

"How about a nice black wine? We'll even dilute it less than normal~" the blue haired woman mentioned, as she brought the girl a shallow dish and poured from a large clay container a wine so dark it seemed to almost truly be black. At the same time, it had the consistency of syrup and was mixed with water soon after. "A taste of home, Captain Jason? Nerys helped me out with the process... I figured a fellow country man would enjoy something like this~" asked the girl whose eyes never really seemed to waver as she produced another traditional shallow cup for the man should he be so inclined to share his daughter's first drink. Of course, Nerys knew about this particular wine, she'd been asked by this blue-haired lass about making it, given her own abilities in Alchemy and keeping the Captain happy was on Nerys to do list as always she just didn't know exactly what such brewing information would actually be used for. Huh, strange, it didn't seem that the blue haired woman was oathbound to Kolin the way to others were, and those eyes of hers... reminded Nerys of Merlyn. Oh well, this at least seemed to be a happy occasion, Nerys could continue to watch passively. All the while Kolin herself shifted through a great number of names in her head, trying to come across one she didn't absolutely hate. If the kid was going to be hers, she might as well not hate the name, still it was quite the problem searchng for a name in her memory that wasn't connected to someone she hated, nor someone whose existence pissed her off.

[Bloodedge]

The child of Jason and Kolin would be receiving a stiff drink, so there wasn't a thing for her to complain about presently. Actually, it would even be counted as her first alcoholic beverage; this would make one hell of an extra birthday. Wait... was this to be considered her new birthday? She could hardly remember the old one, so it was probably best if she accepted it as such. When someone finally approached, it happened to be the very same bartender Jason had taken note of a few times. In recent weeks, many of Kolin's servants had been all over him. This one, however, was the singular exception from what he'd seen. Alas, here she was with exactly what he desired, down to specifications he hadn't even given.

Black wine. There was only one thing she could have meant by that, and indeed, she spoke of being a fellow countryman. Jason wore a grin during his reminiscence of days long gone. No way was he going to not reach out and claim that second cup for himself. In doing so, he even had words of thanks to offer the blue-haired woman. "Eυχαριστώ," he said, raising his cup to the woman. "I haven't had a taste of home in a long time. Is it the same for you? Come; Greeks drink with us." Ah, Greece. So often, he missed it. Interestingly enough, his offer was extended to Nerys as well. Was she Greek? Well, he'd been assuming as much the entire time she'd been around, and this black wine being an original idea of hers cemented the clause. If she wasn't indeed Greek, there had to be some influence somewhere, right?

[Apollymi]

The younger blonde accepted her drink apparently and not much to the blue haired lass' expectations, Jason wanted his drink as well. How nice, she'd been observing his workings since he'd gotten here, and she found him to be a bit of a hedonist, but only overly rude to Kolin. As such, she liked the way he operated and had no problem dealing with him, good customers got good treatment as well, such had always been her way. And though her observations she'd figured out exactly how Greek, the man was, as such she'd decided to befriend him. He accepted the cup from her hands and she grinned in return, those magenta eyes of hers glowing just briefly. "Παρακαλώ" the lass replied to his thanks. She'd not spoken her native language in quite a while it felt strangely rolling off her tongue. "It's been quite a while since I had a taste of home... living in foreign lands for the bustle of city life made me miss home long before I ended up here. I'll join for a while~" she agreed of her own volition to drink with Jason and his daughter. She retrieved a cup for herself and one for Nerys as well... it was only right consider the woman helped her learn the process to make it. "I assume you count as well!~" she chimed pouring one for her and one for herself. This jug was full of this black wine and it was sweet as the blue haired girl enjoyed and remembered from her own childhood. "Hai hai, I'm glad that one worked out for you. The Captain seems happy so if you need anything else..." Nerys murmured she was still enjoying herself face buried in this redhead's chest all while she watched the goings on of this room. Strong drinks now poured everyone seemed to be ready for whatever merriment was taking place.

Kolin on the other hand was still cycling through names trying to find one she absolutely didn't hate. She was working through them by letter combination and reached the Ka, Ke, Ki.... 'Ugh, I hate all of those...' she thought as she kept going. Girl names were difficult because she hated so many other women it was hard to come across a name in her native language that she enjoyed. But the girl definitely looked half-Japanese so it wasn't really much of an option to Kolin how her name would end up. "Yosh, I got it. Kohaku!" she said naming the girl. If the girl accepted it and the world did to she'd be all set and everything including her 'birthday celebration' could continue from this point forward.

[Bloodedge]

Of all the debaucheries Jason had experienced since arriving in Dis, nothing satisfied him more than this nostalgia. Even though the bartender could surely relate in a way, it simply wasn't possible for her to have been without an old experience of home for as long as he had, right? Still, his satisfaction was immeasurable, and the smile on his face was genuine. "Μου έφτιαξες τη μέρα," he added. There was only one way he could express his gratitude for this moment, and it was to let her share in a moment with his... family. Perhaps another opportunity to repay this woman would arise in time, but one could not hold hope too closely. Soon enough, there were four total cups filled with thick wine, and diluted with water. Yes, this was just as he remembered. Even thousands of years couldn't erode a core memory as strong as this ancient rite of passage; he could only hope things would be the same for... whatever his daughter's name would soon be.

Kohaku. After much deliberation within her own mind, that was the name Kolin produced. There wasn't a stranger name out there. From Jason and Kolin, that dumb bitch got something like Kohaku? Was she actually the child of that samurai she kept seeing wander the halls?! Well, whatever. Having a name like that reminded her of her original home, and distanced her from parents she didn't even know. Besides, how could she complain when being offered alcohol on the technical day of her birth? "Ko-haku? There isn't a damn thing about me that says Kohaku! Meh, whatever! It's fine," she said, prompting the Nexus' light to envelop her once more this day. Little did she know, this simple moment resulted in special powers appearing in the depths of her soul. One day, maybe she would come to understand them... but for now, she would raise her cup and excitedly speak a phrase she surely shouldn't have known. "Στην υγειά μας!" she said, offering a toast to those with drinks. Jason's grin widened upon seeing this, and his cup rose to meet Kohaku's. "Στην υγειά μας!"

[Apollymi]

A chuckle escaped the blue haired lass. She'd done this thing as a nicety, having figured out from her observations that such a thing would be necessary eventually. Besides all of that, she also would enjoy a taste of home and a couple a Greek Hero like Jason being around was about as close to a homecoming as one like her could get. A small bush appeared on the lass' face after hearing his words. It was rather nice of him to say something like that, it was quite the nostalgia trip for her as well. Yeah, the Hero Jason was a good man, debauchery aside, she could be reminded of her uncles or brothers around this man... it was comforting.

Ah, but what of the Queen, her choice in name for this lass was one which surprised many. Well, Nerys was less surprised than most. She knew the sort of personality that this woman had at base, and figured her name choice would be a bit less... direct than most others. Kolin had the nerve to look annoyed. "Picking a name I don't hate, that wasn't just naming you after me was hard, and I figured you didn't want to be named after me. Besides you still look half-japanese to me. That manages to remind me of home too..." mentioned the blonde as she flipped her hair over her shoulder. All was done, words were accepted the girl had been named. She was fine to watch this little exchange take place. And maybe, just maybe... get a bit of praise from Jason. Ah but there was a toast up, this one offered by the mouthy young blonde. A laugh escaped Nerys, and it was honest, since she wasn't hiding from Kolin anymore her laughs weren't covered by coughs anymore even when they were at the woman's expense. Hearing the words spoken by Jason and Kohaku as she was called made Nerys pick up her own cup and peek around the woman in her lap. "Στην υγειά μας!" said the blue haired lass. Culture studies weren't really Nerys' thing, even before... but she looked to the blue haired lass. "That was cheers right?" she asked which earned her another smile. "Exactly right... you don't speak Greek huh?" she asked. "Iie, context clues. But I suppose I should pick up a bit... I spoke enough latin I should get away with it," she managed thinking about those words she repeated them aloud though they felt strangely on her tongue, they weren't really bad. "Στην υγειά μας?" she said with an upward inflection. The blue haired lass grinned and looked to Jason pointing at Nerys, she'd never heard someone randomly speak a phrase like that so decently.

[Bloodedge]

Cheers offered and cups collided all around, Kohaku would finally experience her first taste of alcohol. Maybe she should have been a bit reprehensive about taking drinks among a group of strangers where she'd been held captive for so long, but this weird ritual somehow felt natural to her at the time. She brought the cup to her lips, only sipping from it, but doing so repeatedly to no foreseeable end. Actually, the method by which she drank was almost a perfect mirror to how Jason was drinking, though his approach was more... careless, massive gulps one after another. He seemed to be enjoying it, at the very least. Kohaku's sipping intensified just a bit over time, as if she were trying to imitate the Argonaut as closely as possible... but that wouldn't happen for some time yet. Oh well. This drink was strong against her tongue, the walls of her throat, and even her chest. She could almost compare it to swallowing something spicy too quickly, but not quite. It wasn't something she hated, either way. By the time she lowered her cup, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were slightly glazed over. A deep sigh escaped the girl, and she smiled. "Guess I get a dumb name with a dumb life. Don't care. This shit's good."

Meanwhile, Jason was learning something he hadn't thought to seek the answer for over the past few weeks. A question from Nerys to the bartender confirmed that no, she wasn't truly Greek. It was strange that she had such a name otherwise, but it wasn't worth more than moderate interest. Done with his own drink, he gazed upon Kohaku with satisfaction. She would be far from his first child, and presumably far from the last, but this was a satisfying moment regardless. Yes, he'd be pulling her out of this country and into the vast desert via the Argo. "Damn shame all those years are lost, but I guess it would be annoying to bring a baby on the Argo. Nerys, can you do the same thing?" he asked instead of bothering with whatever nationality Nerys was. This was a far more important subject. If Kolin had his child, there wasn't a doubt in the Argonaut's mind that Nerys would be undergoing the same process by now... provided her former gender didn't somehow impede.

[Apollymi]

Nerys sipped out of her cup and watched as Jason and the newly named Kohaku drank in unison. Over the edge of her cup and around the body of the lass she was currently hanging onto for later. There was almost no doubt in her mind these two shared a bond of family, the fact that they were seeming more alike by the second wasn't making that any less obvious. "Huh... I suppose that one is pretty clear...." Nerys said only to enjoy this new flavor. Black Wine as it was called, was inherently sweet, making it something that Nerys could enjoy, at least if she only had this there would be nothing wrong. She sipped out of her own cup until it was empty and sat it to the side. All the white the blonde child in question had nothing but snippy comments for her 'mother' another positive mark in the girl's direction. Kolin seemed exasperated. "Whatever..." and just like that she was crossing her arms over her chest. Would it kill anyone in this room to recognize her goodness in this moment? Ah, and then there was Nerys...

Jason was of the thought that if Kolin had produced offspring Nerys would as well. A frown came to Kolin's face as she thought over this possibility. It would be annoying if Nerys also had kids... another less special thing going on for her. Nerys thought about the answer to Jason's question. She hadn't bothered to check her own wellbeing in quite a while, she was less concerned about anyone harming her, so self-checks had become slightly less necessary. "Ano, Hai, it was a function, after all... but just to be sure. I'll check... give me a second," mentioned the white haired lass. A few seconds later the redhead in her lap had been extricated and Nerys was standing in front of a mirror of her own creation. That weird eye on her crown opened as she looked at herself. She took in her own form and did several things. Divine body of Knowledge and the spirit within her crown began to analyze her body, she figured anything that Kolin was capable of at base any woman could potentially do, but figuring out exactly how it worked in the moment would probably be better for everyone involved. "Sou ka, that's all really weird. I guess it makes some kind of sense though... Oh? Something like that too..." she murmured for a few seconds seemingly all to herself. Then, the eye on her crown closed and she nodded. "Hai hai, I can do it too... we could even be pretty specific about it, if we're patient." mentioned Nerys. Kolin scoffed. "I literally could have told you that..." she said which made Nerys shrug, yes she could have asked Kolin, but... that woman still wasn't truly trustworthy. She was also kind of stupid and all information was better than some person's rather stupid interpretation of it. "I was a biochemist, a medical student and I have gotten though experience a pretty good with the nature of human bodies in a more complete way... I'll rely on my own understanding," Nerys stated, which wasn't a direct jab at Kolin but made the blonde woman shrug, why people stressed their brains for things like that she'd never understand, but Nerys had been a dude to start with, so maybe he'd been trying to impress some girl by being that clever.

[Bloodedge]

As it seemed, Nerys could perform the same witchcraft to advance a child's age after producing it early. This was good news! He never thought he would be properly excited by the idea of having children again, but with one standing right in front of him and being so obviously his child, the thrill was very present. "Good. I'll put a hundred in you," he said, all in good fun. Spirits were high at present, especially in the case of Jason. Kohaku, however, scoffed upon hearing such a thing. "I shouldn't be grossed out by that kind of talk around here, but... I'm gonna need you to not," she said. For whatever reason, she easily internalized the idea of Jason being her biological father, even though she once knew another. It was almost like she'd grown up around both Jason and Kolin, the way she felt as if her father was in the midst of a flirty conversation with her stepmother or something. Maybe the answer was another of those drinks that made her lightheaded?

"Oi, whatever your name is," Kohaku said to the blue-haired woman, shaking her emptied cup about. There was something of a devious grin upon the girl's face as she leaned forward, cupping a hand over her mouth and whispering. "How 'bout I get a keg of this good stuff to myself for the road, and you don't tell the old man? I'm gonna need it if I gotta hear this shit all the time~" And then, there was a shining example of what Kohaku had been previously. As a mere street urchin, there was a certain glint that appeared in her eye when she made requests as she did presently. Despite her foul mouth, Kohaku's visage bore a childlike innocence that bordered on the angelic. She could be downright adorable at a moment's notice, if only she kept her mouth shut for the duration─

[Apollymi]

Nerys confirmed her ability to carry and produce children with reasonable frequency and suddenly Jason was speaking of putting 100 in her. The mage's eyes widened immediately and a blush over took her face. "Ara... could we scale that back a bit Captain, I mean we should have some fun making them and all~" yep also kind of flirty. Well, Nerys now knew of a certain clause which would mean that the fun of making said beings would definitely contribute to them overall. Actually, she was almost certain that the more frequently she and Jason copulated, the more complete the potential off-spring could be. Just by virtue of them having more 'base code' to work with. Of course there was a bit of commentary from Kohaku which sounded supremely like that of an older sibling who wasn't at all for flirtation between parental figures. "Hm, that one seems familiar. Oh... I've been there before," Nerys thought thinking to her own childhood and watching her father say and do such flirty things with her (well previously his) stepmother... oh. Shit. She was the flirty stepmother wasn't she? Well, fuck. "Wari wari, Kohaku-chan... I didn't think I'd end up... on this end of such an equation," Nerys being surrounded by women and back within her own element had all but slipped back into her old speech pattern and it came with the tongue of her homeland in certain instances. Still, Nerys was a nice person, she'd make sure to keep as much of the young Kohaku's sanity as she could help with.

At the same time, the blue haired lass who had poured the drinks was busy now, watching the young blonde wave around a cup before she was asked a rather strange question by the girl. She'd mentioned not knowing her name and that was pretty true she also wanted a keg of the good stuff for help drowning out the activities of her parental type figures. "You can call me, Nix~" The blue haired lass said pouring the girl another drink and looking at that rather innocent face, those glowing eyes of hers scaled the blonde lass. "Oh wow, what a dangerous combination of things you have going on with that face of yours... If I wasn't one of 8 children I might even be extra moved by such a thing~" the blue haired lass murmured. Still she also lowered her voice to a whisper. "I already have you covered, but I am sure your pater will be aware~" she mused patting this girl rather gently on top of the head. "Hair tie?" she asked her noting the messiness of this lass' blonde mop.

[Bloodedge]

"Scale it back?" the Argonaut questioned. Yes, a hundred was probably a ludicrous thing to suggest. Any number of rascals was satisfactory, actually, but there was far more to it than that. "You're right. Who cares about the number? A hundred rounds each, either way." His decision stood, boldly stated with blatant disregard for the ears of a child. The girl that had so recently become his daughter was of age, certainly. Hell, by his own standards and upbringing... she was of age almost half her lifetime ago. True enough, Kohaku was far from childlike in any sense of the word, though that wouldn't stave off the disgust she felt when hearing this conversation. At least Nerys seemed somewhat willing to avoid trauma-inducing amounts of directness.

Either way, who really cared about all that? Kohaku may not have succeeded in charming the one called Nix, but she achieved victory regardless! Sweet, delectable wine would soon be hers and hers alone, seemingly even prior to the request! Such glee adorned her visage upon hearing those words. "Really?! You're a lifesaver!" she announced, quite a bit more loudly than any of her previous words. Her volume got Jason's attention, much to her chagrin... but he didn't seem concerned with whatever she was discussing. Good, good; privacy was key in this scenario. Even if he was aware of her wine stash, she didn't want anyone knowing when or where she had it. After all, the man introducing her to such a thing was the last one she'd trust to do anything but drink it for himself. So, she was right back to whispering soon enough. "You know where his boat is? I want it in a good hiding spot before we get outta this dump!"

[Apollymi]

Ah, Jason was seeing reason... well not really. He thought about scaling it backward, as 100 children was kind of ridiculous. But he actually was just talking about 100 goes per child they decided to have. Nerys eyes widened and she couldn't help but smile. It was so outlandish, even after apologizing to Kohaku about the overt nature of her commentary she couldn't help herself. "Not exactly what I meant but... I don't think that's an offer I can refuse at all~" Nerys was indeed the flirty stepmom. Actually, that was fine too, she didn't much care. "We're a bit behind schedule for that sort of thing Captain..." she mentioned in an offhanded manner. This man definitely wanted children and she'd just inspected her own form, with this came a certain truth she didn't mind revealing to the man in the moment. "You have two on the way after all!~" Nerys stated with a sheepish smile crossing her face. 'TWO?!' Kolin's face was her normal amount of bitchy but how dare they just openly flirt. Were they actually happy? How could they be, out in the desert, sleeping on a ship... the idea of that was just gross. Still, she was mad internally, how could Nerys be having more than one child? Was that bitch just trying to show her up? Surely she was just lying about it because she didn't have a kid first right? Why did she seem happy to provide that for Jason... if she truly wasn't interested in men shen she shouldn't be interested in being a woman at all. How disgusting for her to want to live a happy life as a woman infringing upon territory like childbirth, while claiming to have no interest in men but being attached to one Kolin wanted. Why did Jason seem so excited about potential sex with Nerys? He could have sex with Kolin whenever he wanted instead... why did he even care to have Nerys?! Yep, her mind wasn't going to pleasant places at all. What kind of reaction would have have? Surely he wouldn't care about another kid after he'd already been given one. Kolin was first right... that counted for more.... Right?!

While the 'parents' conversed of children and making them, Nix and Kohaku were having a conversation of a more devious nature. No, Kohaku hadn't succeeded in wooing Nix, but she'd still get her way in the moment. "Of course, I am nothing if not well-prepared, especially for occasions like this~" she mentioned in hushed tones. A chuckle escaped the blue haired woman as she looked out towards the the outer edge of the city. "Um, I guess there is no harm in taking a look around. Come on then... let's take a walk~" she whispered to the lass who'd gotten overly excited and attracted a bit extra attention to herself. It didn't seem to matter much though as the conversation going on here seemed less than fruitful for this pair of uninvolved individuals. Whatever the case, they could just wander off if the blonde lass came along to search out her hiding space and whatever else the sisterly Nix could provide for her in the moment.

[Bloodedge]

Of course she couldn't refuse. Jason could firmly believe this to be truth, after their most recent experiences. Actually, Jason himself couldn't have refused if the offer had been made by Nerys instead. They were indeed behind schedule to meet that sort of requirement, considering Nerys was with... children? Plural? Well, that was certainly a surprise and a half. Never did he anticipate twins, even though he surely expected both Nerys and Kolin to bear children after what he'd done with them. "Two, huh? I didn't think that would happen. Well, we better get to work, huh? I think the boys are getting too used to things around here anyway, so we might as well get back to the ship soon. What do you think?"

It seemed things were potentially winding down for the Argonauts. This was bad for Kohaku's plan, but her present companion was keen to 'take a walk' as it were. Yes, perhaps they could make use of the preparatory time, assuming Jason and the crew would actually be leaving this country soon. As such, Kohaku nodded to the bartender Nix, sneaking glances toward everyone else in the room while tiptoeing her way behind the blue-haired woman. No matter what, she'd see this ship with her own eyes, and she'd locate within it a suitable location for a secret wine stash. There had to be somewhere crewmembers never visited, right? Well... she had little choice but to find out quickly.

[Apollymi]

"Hai hai, definitely two~" Nerys mentioned in a casual manner. She was quite certain of the two lives currently being created. They were more like code for her, but that made it simply easier to understand. It was a bit pleasing to not have to give natural birth. Still, she wouldn't have denied an offer to constantly bed Jason even if she wasn't currently carrying his children. She'd become interested in him, beyond the initial magically induced interest, Nerys began to wonder tentatively if such an interest would have developed in her eventually of its own accord. Whatever the case, they both agreed that they were quite behind schedule for such an endeavor and beyond all of that, Jason thought the Argonauts might have been getting a bit too used to city life. A gentle shrug came from Nerys in the moment, she quite enjoyed being in the city for all the access to women she had and for the gathering of smoking paraphernalia, even so... there was something about this place that kept her constantly on edge so she was fairly ready to return to the calm of the desert. Yes, even though she knew they'd be out and fighting monsters the idea of returning to the open desert was much more comforting to her than staying in a place like this. "Hm, the boys have been indulging a lot and I'm glad they could have some fun. But to be honest this place still doesn't sit right with me. It's a shitty tourist spot, you stop by and do stuff, but I wouldn't want to stay here all the time..." she mentioned honestly. She was never anything but honest with Jason to start with. "I'm not upset though... I am glad I've gotten to sample some women for the first time in ages~" Nerys mentioned seemingly happy about it. "Still, I'm fine whenever you're ready to push off, Captain. I figure given Kohaku-chan's introduction she'll also be happy to get out of this place too..." Nerys said. Thinking about it logically, even a perverted kid might not be happy living in a place like this. It was far from ideal as a long term setup. Stopping here was fine, but just like a tourist stop, once the newness of it wore off, the place was sort of just trashy.

While Nix and Kohaku snuck off without so much as rousing extra suspicion from Kolin and Nerys. Kolin heard this conversation and didn't become any happier. Rather she became happy and then immediately upset. They were leaving! That was great... getting rid of Jason would free her up quite a bit. She would go back to her plans, get Nerys out of her hair. No more of this VIP treatment for customers that weren't even paying. She had things to do, goals to meet and all of this was just stopping that. Still... she didn't really want Jason to leave. She'd given him a kid and everything... didn't she deserve some more praise? Or at least a bit more consideration in the moment. She didn't really want to lose access to the way he treated her... why didn't he want to stay? What was so good about the desert anyways... she wasn't there so it had to be shittier, right?! A man like Jason didn't just want to play ship Captain and house out in the middle of nowhere hunting monsters... He obviously wanted to be spoiled and pampered so why would he bother going back out into the desert with some two bit sorceress and a bunch of dudes just to do some thankless job?! Kolin simply couldn't understand. She wanted him to leave though... he was in the way. Her goals were much higher than him... so why? Why did the idea of him leaving bother her so much?
