Sidera House
"Thank you."
Ariel smiles at Ancha.

She smiles, but doesn't leave just yet...

[Mindfreak]

She smiles, but doesn't leave just yet...

Sidera House
Ariel looks a bit nervous.
"Um...can you leave so I can dry off?"

[Beans]

Sidera House
Ariel looks a bit nervous.
"Um...can you leave so I can dry off?"

Oh, um, sorry...
She hurriedly exits, blushing.

[Mindfreak]

Oh, um, sorry...
She hurriedly exits, blushing.

Sidera House
Ariel gets out and dries herself off!
She gets dressed and brings back out her fur and goes to find Ancha!

[ThirdEmperor]

"Fascinating." Jack says.

"Damn straight. Want my advice?" Needless to say, this is an entirely rhetorical question, as Riv fully intends to keep talking no matter what. "Don't bother with tryin' to heal people. The Nexus has whole legions of bleeding-heart magic chuckleheads to do that. Put that medical degree a' yours to use and, I dunno, build laser sharks or some ****. It'll save you a whole lot a' time and wasted effort."

[Earl of Purple]

Defelent's House

Tracy's a bit awkward- she doesn't usually hug women unless Defelent is involved. But she'll return the hug and squeeze quite tightly. "Thank you. For... For treating me like a person as well as a slave." Tracy likes being treated as a person, but she feels more secure when treated as a slave- it's the position she was raised for.

Ancha is on the patio with her guns!

[Mindfreak]

Ancha is on the patio with her guns!

Sidera House
Ariel walks out.
"What'cha doing?"

[Maxios]

"Damn straight. Want my advice?" Needless to say, this is an entirely rhetorical question, as Riv fully intends to keep talking no matter what. "Don't bother with tryin' to heal people.

Ex-LANTERN HQ

"Laser sharks...that's an intriguing idea." Jack says. "But I know what you mean about the magic idiots. Earlier, some moron decided to blow up this tavern; can't remember the name of the place, anyway, this poor woman took full force from this blast. Shrapnel all in her, broken bones, the works. Anyway, I start trying to heal this injured, nearly-dead woman and this idiot shows up and heals her in mere seconds."

[Beans]

Sidera House
Ariel walks out.
"What'cha doing?"

Oh, this?
These are my guns... I kinda do stuff like this, y'know.

[Mindfreak]

Oh, this?
These are my guns... I kinda do stuff like this, y'know.

Sidera House
"Can you...um...show me how to use it? I can only use my scimitars..."

[Beans]

Sidera House
"Can you...um...show me how to use it? I can only use my scimitars..."

She smiles and sets out the Lethykos on the table.
Of the guns, this one is among the simplest---more so than my others, like the Fornax or Pyxis.
It's not technically a railgun in the normal sense; instead of shooting physical objects, it sends a disruption through the air---though I can put water into it to make it more powerful.
She explains more stuff!

[Mindfreak]

Sidera House
Ariel listens, quite interested!
"Can I...try shooting one?"

[Beans]

[Sidera]
She nods, smiling, and will help her hold it properly and shoot at a target she's set up.

[Mindfreak]

Sidera House
Ariel blushes as Ancha helps her aim and she pulls the trigger, hitting the target!
She giggles and goes to hug Ancha!
"Yay! I hit it!"
She then noticed what she was doing and stopped.
"Um...sorry..."

[Beans]

[Sidera]
She hugs back, smiling.
It's fine.
And good shot, by the way.
She winks.

[Mindfreak]

Sidera House
Ariel smiled.
"Well I did have some good help..."
"You want to learn how to use scimitars?"

[Beans]

Sidera House
Ariel smiled.
"Well I did have some good help..."
"You want to learn how to use scimitars?"

Sure, that sounds cool...

[Mindfreak]

Sidera House
Ariel grins and will instruct her on the basics in front of a dummy!

[Beans]

[Sidera]
She learns decently well---not super good, but it's her first time.

Defelent's House

Tracy's a bit awkward- she doesn't usually hug women unless Defelent is involved. But she'll return the hug and squeeze quite tightly. "Thank you. For... For treating me like a person as well as a slave." Tracy likes being treated as a person, but she feels more secure when treated as a slave- it's the position she was raised for.

"You're welcome."
Naethalee will hold the hug for as long as Tracy is comfortable with before letting go and taking a deep breath.
"I believe I should probably see about getting my swords sharpened, are there any blacksmiths or armorers around this area?"

[Beach]

I wouldn't have it any other way... someone has to keep me grounded so I don't get too caught up in my own cleverness, Dorota responds jokingly.

"And I need somebody to be the smart one for me," Crissy quips right back with a grin.

[Morty]

[Beach]

It seems we complement each other perfectly then, don't we? We already did when we were just friends, Dorota says, stroking Crissy's hair a little again.

[The Bushranger]

[Beach]

Crissy's eyes flutter shut, and she sighs happily.
"And now we're so much more...and I couldn't imagine being happier."

[Earl of Purple]

Defelent's House

"Um, I don't know. I don't leave the house very often, and when I do I go to the temple. Defelent should know, though. Well, he might. His equipment's enchanted, so it doesn't need sharpening very often. Or at all, for that matter." There's bound to be one in Riverside, however, and Defelent will likely know one that is especially discrete for... Private purposes. Like branding irons, manacles, and knives.

[Morty]

[Beach]

Good gods, they produce so much sap. =x
Neither could... I used to be happy with my work, and studies and such... and then, well, you happened.

[The Bushranger]

[Beach]

The d'awwpocalypse cometh!

All Crissy can do to that is blush, and to aim a kiss for Dorota's cheek!
Of course, with her eyes closed, she might miss...

[Morty]

[Beach]

She might, but Dorota would rather be sure, and lowers her heads so Crissy's kiss ends up on her lips instead. After they break off, she says, starting to blush:
Crissy, there's... something I have to ask you. It's a bit... awkward.

[The Bushranger]

[Beach]

Crissy, needless to say, enjoys very much that Dorota made sure.
And she smiles up at the alchemist warmly.
"You can ask me, like, anything. Anything at all."

[Morty]

[Beach]

Have you... have you ever been... physical with someone? Dorota blurts out, her cheeks turning bright red.

[The Bushranger]

[Beach]

At this question, Crissy's cheeks turn an equal shade of red!
...and she shakes her head.
"Um, n-no. Not more than kissing..."
