Did she just want to work us to death or something!?'' Rennard huffed as he trudged along the river.\n\nIt had been quite a few hours since Lyca and him had to head off in their separate directions, and even as the sun began to slowly settle on its way to the western horizon, the kit still seemed to be in a poor mood from yet another farewell. He hadn't been in the best mood to perform his `duties' along the way, which might have been for the best anyway considering they were on a bit of a schedule... At least if they wanted to settle in for the night with a bed and a roof over their heads, or have the poor boy's back suffer from another night of camping on the forest floor.\n\nAlthough, they had been walking for the better part of the day already - save for the breaks he needed for his Stamina to recuperate - and despite their relatively early start (delayed only by the time it took his knot to finally deflate after his goodbye to his feral wolf wife), it was already starting to get to the time of day where they would have normally started preparing for camp. Kimi had considered erring on the side of caution and trying for the fisherman's hut tomorrow and see what she could hunt from the river to feed them tonight, but after a creative use of Guidance asking for `the best safe spot to rest within an hour's walk' returned a positive result in the direction they were heading, they pressed on.\n\n``Mmm... I'd consider it good exercise, but who knows how that works here... I [i]imagine[/i] you should still get some Stat buffs or Skills or something to get stronger or more enduring with training, or improve the underlying physique that the Stats then improve upon.'' The feral vulpine walking along with him added. ``Everything else outside of those stats and magic seems to work the same, after all.''\n\n``That, or... Maybe she was expecting you to make the run on all fours?'' The vixen added with a teasing giggle. ``You were certainly much faster as a dire fox than not.''\n\n``Don't remind me...'' He added with an extra pout.\n\n[q][i]Control Form Lvl 1[/i][i]\n[/i][i]Represents a Shapeshifter's abilities to control their transformation. Increases the chance of resisting compulsions to transform by 10%. Increases the chance of successfully transforming by 10%.[/i][/q]\n\nHe thought he had figured out how to handle it. Focusing upon his intended form, or going to his Form Menu and selecting it from there, booth seemed to have been equivalent. But, despite having tried it a few times in their earlier breaks, nothing seemed to have worked... Whether that was because he had failed the chance, or it was perhaps off of cooldown, he couldn't tell. The only thing the System told him each time he attempted was that his Skill had failed.\n\nIt was also possible that it was impossible for him to transform , period, unless he had the full moon, which they were now one outside of if only by a day... Or without the presence of the moon, or god knows how many other factors that he didn't quite know. He would have loved to ask the werewolf that had turned him, but without going through the hassle of hunting her down, probably best to just study Therianthropes when he got the chance in Carran.\n\nJust when he thought he had discovered a hack for speeding up his trip to town, too. Damn werefox powers could stand to be a bit more convenient!\n\n``But, at least we should be getting near them soon~'' Kimi added with an idle murmur, trotting ahead a short while so that she could stretch out whilst waiting for the boy to catch up.\n\nBut, before he managed to reach her, she shifted her attention away from him. Her amber eyes looked towards the woods nearby, canting an ear higher to try and track down what she had heard.\n\n``Tracked down dinner, or - '' Rennard spoke, half wary considering the ambush they had last night.\n\nHe got his answer for himself when he heard a high pitched, feminine voice screaming for help relatively nearby. The kit paused for a second, processing for a moment what he should do, before slumping his bag off to the side and bolting in the direction of the cry, keeping one hand on the pommel of his sword to keep the blunt arming sword out of the way of his legs as best he could - even if the scabbard still slapped against his thigh as he ran.\n\n``Ren, wait!'' Kimi called out after him, before darting to follow along her younger brother to keep him out of trouble. After all, for all she knew, this was just another cunning trap from the demons hunting them to lure them into danger, but good luck trying to convince her sibling - always the little hero even before their arrival here in his playground make-believes - to be discreet.\n\nFortunately, it didn't take them long to discover the source of the shout. The feral vulpine skidded to a halt, keeping to the tree line whilst the cloaked boy barged out full bore...\n\nOnly to freeze momentarily when he caught up to what his sister had seen. It was a girl right around his age, a ten-year-old kitten with white fur that was doing her best to flee from a trio of pernicious slimes that seemed to have been chasing her! One of which seemed to have just managed to catch her by a foot, sending her spiraling to the dirt, whilst the second dutifully jumped upon her wrists to trap her haplessly against the dirt in a position that Rennard knew all too well.\n\n``I don't want to get slimed~!'' She mrowled tearfully, squirming as the final slime quivered with anticipation, jostling as it bundled up its semi-solid mass in preparation to pounce upon their target!\n\nShit. He didn't have enough time to put any slimebane oil on his knife or sword... Wait, Kimi could attack them before by just layering her Fox Fire on her paws, right?\n\nHe gave it a shot, resuming his charge towards the helpless domestic cat, drawing his sword in a tad bit more awkward a fashion as he might have desired during his heroic deed - and certainly in a way he imagined would get Sawyer smacking him for potentially putting him at risk with how he wielded it, but hey, it was a blunt training sword at least! Fortunately, he oriented the blade quickly as he needed it, focusing for a split second on the Mana within the core of his being towards his hand, sliding it across the arming sword's length to ensure the magic ignited upon the Novice weapon, right before his right arm swung the blade forward to intercept the slime mid pounce!\n\n[q][i]Fox Fire Used! -1 Mana. Mana Remaining 12/13.[/i]\n[i]Critical Hit! [/i][i][s]16[/s][/i][i] 8 (+2) Damage Inflicted with Arming Sword (Novice [Blunt])![/i]\n\n[i]Blue Slime Defeated![/i][i]\n[/i][i]Kimi has gained Experience![/i][/q]\n\nSuccess!\n\nRennard beamed with pride, his chest puffing out within his faded green cloak as he saw the mindless, gelatinous creature be smashed in twain by his decisive strike!\n\n...At least, until, his blue eyes watched in horror as all the naughty slime's clothes soaking contents burst out like a broken water balloon - right onto the cat girl just beneath the slain monster.\n\n``Noooo~! Not again!'' The girl whined, huffing as her dress was drenched in the sticky, viscous blue ichor, causing the simple garb to cling to her lithe body while she squirmed against the other two slime's grip.\n\nHis ears flicked against the back of his head in guilt, as his `grand heroics' resulted only in making an even bigger mess than if he hadn't intercepted the creature, oops.\n\nAlthough, his meek, apologetic display only lasted for a second as his gaze settled upon the mess he had made - and in particular, how the lass' clothes clung to her hips with the weight of the sensitivity-enhancing fluid soaking through the linen - all but hugging to every inch of her body, including the space between her thighs...\n\n[q][i]Spirit Check Failed.[/i][i]\n[/i][i]Effect Activated: A Chosen's Duty[/i][i]\n[/i][i]Arousal 1/20[/i][/q]\n\nHis cheeks and ears flushed with embarrassment and a rush of desire, helped along his Geas to breed kicking into full gear now that he was so close to her. It took all of his effort to try and keep his eyes from staring too hard at her inappropriate areas, glancing to the side whilst also doing his best to keep his bloating sheath within his cloak from becoming too noticeable. All not helped by how his chest fluttered, adding yet more confusing emotions to the conflict within his psyche as he struggled to think of something to say instead of just bashfully glancing back down to the pinned girl.\n\n``Mmm... Now what's burning within that adorably depraved mind of yours, my dear younger brother~?'' Kimi's words whispered quietly against his ear, cast by the vixen's illusions. At least it gave him a focus to glance away from the kitten at his feet, shooting her a disparaging glare whilst the sprawled at a distance with a clear look of amusement spread across her features.\n\n[q][i]Arousal 5/20[/i]\n\n[i]Noise Used! -1 Mana. Mana Remaining 11/13.[/i][/q]\n\n``N-Nothing!'' He whispered back with the spell, struggling to keep the embarrassment visible on his face from spreading even more noticeably as his Arousal built steadily up - making it even more difficult to hide the tent that would soon be pitching within his cloak.\n\n``Oh? But how couldn't a young, virile, [i]strapping[/i] lad like yourself not get ideas when he finally has a girl his own age to play with~? One that's already laid out for him right there... Gosh, you [i]must[/i] be able to [i]smell[/i] the heat on her with how close you are, heck, I can smell it from here... You'd be doing her a favor if you [i]ravished[/i] her right here and now and gave her your kittens~'' His sister teased back, making the boy [i]squirm[/i] on the spot, audibly whining in conflicted desire underneath her suggestive words!\n\nThe worst part about it was that she was right! He could smell the need [i]burning[/i] within her nubile, slime-soaked lips beneath the aroma of the lubricating goo. His toes dug into the dirt, struggling to maintain the image of a noble hero saving a damsel in distress, rather than turning it into... [i]that.[/i]\n\nAlthough, if he really thought about it... Would it have been a problem? Was this [i]really[/i] any different than all the beasts in the woods he had bred..? If he showed off his dick, and she was as eager as they were, was there really any problem with what Kimi recommended..?\n\n``Uh... Um... Excuse me...'' The kitten knocked him out of his lurid contemplation with a sheepish smile. It looked like she had been a bit too stunned by his sudden arrival and `rescue' to speak until now, but now that she had processed everything she stared up at the boy with a bashful smile - and an idle flick of her tail. ``Thank you for trying to rescue me, but, uh... Do you think you can help get rid of the other two as well~?''\n\n``Oh, yeah! Sorry.'' Rennard replied with as soft a smile as he could manage - taking a moment to adjust some of the leather belts he wore ever since getting them from the kobold's to make an impromptu `holster' to keep his budding excitement trapped against his belly - before turning his attention to the last two slimes.\n\n[q][i]Fox Fire Used! -2 Mana. Mana Remaining 9/13.[/i]\n\n[i]Blue Slime Defeated! x2![/i][i]\n[/i][i]Kimi has gained Experience![/i][/q]\n\nIt was a simple matter to re-apply his Fox Fire to his blade and quench it within the two remaining slimes in a way that wouldn't also brush the magical flames against her as well.\n\nThe kitten was quick to spring up onto her haunches, looking down at her ruined dress with a distraught huff, and doing her best to pry the wet fabric off of her body by yanking at the hem of her garb. ``My name's Juliana! What's yours?''\n\n``Ah... Rennard...''\n\nHe barely had the time to get that out before she threw into a barrage of questions - her bright green eyes turned towards him, with an almost fierce, toothy smile to her lips. ``Rennard? I don't think I remember dad talking about any Rennards nearby! What are you doing all the way out here? Are you an adventurer from Carran~? I don't think I've seen any boys my own age before! You're definitely the first! Do you know many other kids~? I hear there's not many of us kicking about! Oh, do you want to come home with me? It's getting late, and you won't find some place better to camp for the night! Dad will totally give you something to eat for helping me too, and then we can play! Dad doesn't always have time to play with me, and you can teach me how all the boys and girls in town play while we wait for supper!''\n\n``I, uh...'' He glanced desperately towards the trees where his sister was hiding, desperate for some advice on how to handle the girl from the fairer sex - only to get complete an utter silence to his plea as the feral vixen desperately tried to keep her giggles from being audible to the star eyed girl sitting in front of him.\n\n``I'm, uh, not from around here, no - '' he once again started to speak, trying to respond to the first question she had thrown his way, only to get cut off once more as the nimble feline jumped up to her feet and clapped her hands around his, pulling him closer so her beaming smile could stare at him from under a foot away.\n\n``Oooh! Are you from outside the Kingdom!? Almost no one travels across borders anymore! You gotta tell me all about the outside world!''\n\nWhy didn't he just take the opportunity to breed her while he had the chance. His ears burned with a desire he didn't quite know how to handle, especially not with how caught on the back foot he was by her forthright curiosity and fascination with him.\n\n``I [i]guess[/i] we should get back home before we keep talking though...'' She eventually spoke after a second of confused silence by the kit, turning her attention back to her linen dress with a huff. ``I'll also need to wash this as well...''\n\nRennard's ears turned beat red as, without skipping a beat, the feline pulled her dress up over her head, leaving her all but naked before his eyes, making it even harder for his eyes to not bore into the needy little kitten box, especially as the lack of garb offered no protection to his sensitive nostrils drinking in the paradoxical scent of youthful fertility. The claws on his feet dug deeper into the dirt, his blue eyes clenching shut as he offered a protesting huff at her naive indiscretion - going further by covering his view with a hand while he muttered - trying to remove the image of her wet, dripping entrance from where it had seared onto his mind. ``You shouldn't take off your clothes around a boy like that!''\n\n``Why?'' She shot back, tilting her head to the side in confusion. ``It's not like we've got anything different underneath our clothes do we?''\n\n``I, uh... It's still just... It's improper!'' He grumbled back while biting his lip. Of [i]course [/i]she wouldn't be taught differently considering, as far as anyone knew, no one had a penis anymore. Then again, he vaguely remembered hearing that people cared a lot less about nudity in the past, so maybe that could be it as well?\n\n``That's funny~'' Juliana giggled, rolling her slime-soaked clothes into a bundle that quickly got tucked underneath left arm, before using the right to yank along the swords-boy with her. ``You're funny! Dad will probably like you, though! He always wished I could find a handsome, gentlemanly boy to marry!''\n\n``Ah! Marry? Isn't it a bit too soon to discuss something like that~?'' He meeped, glancing back towards Kimi mournfully for a rescue he knew wasn't going to come, instead seeing the vixen give a playful shoo of her forepaw to go have fun on this impromptu `play date'.\n\n``I guess it [i]IS[/i] a bit early...'' She conceded with a confident nod. ``Besides, Dad would want to make sure you could fish before letting you marry me! I don't know if he'd approve of me marrying an Adventurer either...''\n\n``Wait, fish...? Does your Dad make a living fishing from the river?'' The kit interjected again, starting to slowly get a handle on conversing with the excited cat. It didn't make the throbbing spire flexing against the adjusted belt beneath his cloak any easier to bear, but it at least made their conversation a tad bit less one-sided as they walked into the woods hand-in-hand.\n\n``Yeah! He and Mom moved all the way out here before I was born! He never really told me the reason why, but it helped us avoid a lot of the issues that came after everyone got inside-thingies!'''\n\n``I've actually got something for you then! Chloe gave me stuff to give to your father since she missed him,'' he replied, keeping his eyes to the side as their stroll continued.\n\n``Oh yeah! He did say he was a bit annoyed that she wasn't there... He left his payment as normal, but it usually takes her a few days to get around to us, and we've already been a bit out of her potions for a bit...'' She admitted with a blush and a sheepish smile.\n\n``What about yourself? If you met her you should be stocked but it looks like you've run out at all with how red your ears are!'' She added with a giggle and a teasing grin, leaning close enough to briefly lay her head against his shoulder.\n\n``Uh! I'm, uh... Fine! Just a bit exhausted! I've been walking for most of the day to reach your place...'' He lied, his ears tucking closer to his scalp to try and obscure the burning flush in his inner ears.\n\n``Well, if you're sure~ But if you do need help taking the bite off of it, maybe Dad will let me help~''\n\n``Uh... Help?'' He inquired with a gulp, knowing he'd probably regret learning the answer.\n\n``Yeah! Help! Sometimes when my heat gets really bad Mom will help me with a wood toy! Mom and Dad always help each other, but I never get a chance to be the one helping!'' She added with a pout, whilst Rennard's young mind tried to picture just what sort of [i]toy[/i] she was alluding to - maybe a dildo like the one Sawyer had?\n\n``I- uh. No-no I'm good thank you!''\n\n``Aww...'' The kitten's ears drooped, pulling away from the boy's hand at last to take a few skipping steps ahead of them. ``That's no fun!''\n\n``Well, we can play something else instead, alright? You wanted me to teach you about some of the games I play with other kids, yeah?'' He added with an apologetic smile, whilst his mind busily contemplated the [i]other[/i] means of play he could `teach her' despite his best efforts not too.\n\n``You promise Ren?'' Her huffing pout was quickly washed aside by another smile.\n\nThey continued to walk for the next couple of minutes - first going back to where he had first heard her cry for help to pick up his bag before following her lead home - and all the way Rennard did his best to answer the seemingly endless questions that spilled forth from Juliana. Some of which were easy enough to answer before the next curiosity took her fancy, while others he was left reeling on the back foot, trying to contemplate just how to answer or to deflect. Surprisingly enough, some of the games he played with other kids were part of those - unsure of how to answer without revealing that he was from another world. Talking about videogames was right out, after all, but even describing some of the playground activities he got up to with his friends still seemed to cause wonder at every turn.\n\nFor example, his attempt to describe how they played `kings and castles' with the jungle gym didn't exactly go over well, as his attempt to describe a small wooden `fort' made him sound like some sort of lavish [i]prince.[/i] He nearly spilled yet more detail when he let the word digimon slip when talking about how he would play pretend with his friends and have mock battles, needing to deflect to calling them `friendly monsters' that usually helped children - which seemed like a fanciful but believable tale to the girl, shouting about how she wanted a digimon of her own to go on adventures with!\n\nHopefully she didn't grow up to be some fairy tale writer... He didn't think he could forgive himself if his loose tongue ended up with it becoming this world's version of Hansel and Gretel.\n\nBut, at least, they had finally reached a small wooden home, set a touch farther from the river than he had expected. He might have missed it entirely if he had to find his way to it himself, if it wasn't for the make-shift fence/wall of sticks and branches buried against one side of the bank to offer mooring for a small boat - perhaps what the dad cat used when fishing?\n\nThe house itself was pretty much what he'd come to expect, a touch more... proper than the hut that Chloe had, although it surprisingly looked a touch smaller - perhaps only a single main room with perhaps a second for storage. Most of the actual work for preparing fish seemed to take place outside with an attached, open face shed.\n\nA single room... Would he be able to sleep here after all? Attempting it sounded like a good way for him to be discovered come the morning where his morning glory would be on full display... If he could even manage to get through the night subjected to a barrage of Arousal gains, nevermind the combined fertility of three wanting pussies needing to be satisfied...\n\n``Moooom. Daaaad, I'm back, and I made a friend!'' Juliana called out, skipping forward in all of her naked glory and grinning from ear to ear.\n\n``What have we told you about staying out so late, girl...? And what manner of poor animal have you captured this time to try and adopt - Oh it's a boy! Hello there!'' A white cat that looked much like Juliana walked out from the front door to greet them, offering a surprised smile when she spotted the adventurer lad by her daughter's side. She seemed quite mature, although he couldn't quite place her age - perhaps mid to late 30s? Although, she certainly was pleasing to the eye, much like her daughter, with a lovely bosom which was just large enough to give her dress a pleasing curve - giving the stubborn, lurid thoughts dancing across his brain a second target to focus their sordid fantasies upon.\n\n``Its quite unusual to see a boy your age, yet alone all the way out here! Are you an adventurer?\n\n``His name's Rennard! And he rescued me from some slimes that were chasing me! Although he still couldn't stop my dress from getting drenched,'' Juliana answered for him with a pout, showing off the bundle of blue-soaked linens she had stripped off. ``He's an adventurer from out of the kingdom!''\n\n``Out of the kingdom!?'' The mother gasped, glancing towards the boy to confirm.\n\n``Ah... I'm not from Carran is all I said! She kinda just assumed from there.'' He answered with a meek smile, hoping that explaining things with as little detail as possible might make his claim seem a touch less fantastical.\n\n``Oh I see. You have to forgive my dear daughter. There aren't many people for her to talk to all the way out here, so her imagination gets the better of her sometimes,'' the older cat answered, giving her lovely child an adoring pat on the head, before motioning her to a bucket. ``Here, go grab some water from the river Julie and let your dress soak, we'll give it a quick wash before the sun finishes setting.''\n\n``Okay mom! Do you think Rennard can stay the night mom~?''\n\n``Well, of course dear. How could we not reward your little hero with a place to rest his weary head for the night and what food we can spare?'' The woman answered with a chuckle before giving the girl another encouraging pat to pursue the chore she had just been given.\n\n``Can I play with Rennard after I'm done mom~?''\n\n``If you hurry and get that dress washed before sunset, then yes dear~''\n\n``Okay!'' The kitten smiled, darting off to pick up the bucket and ran off to the river all by her lonesome.\n\n``Uh, should I go help her with that - '' Rennard inquired, motioning towards the river before the woman stopped him with a shake of his head.\n\n``Dear me, no. It's a simple chore, and I feel like you could use a break. She's so energetic at the best of times, I bet she was ecstatic to see a child her own age finally,'' the feline retorted with a dry chuckle, although the fond smile upon her lips never faded as she kept her sight upon the running girl.\n\n``So tell me, what brings an Adventurer, especially one so young, all the way out here? This was always a quiet forest, even before the Great Emasculation and its disastrous consequences, there aren't any Dungeons to pursue nearby, and slimes would hardly be worth hunting this far out. If you've taken up that Wyvern contract, then you should probably head back home - not the least of which for the danger, but because another Adventurer is already days ahead of you.''\n\n``Oh! You mean Sawyer? I already met him!'' Rennard answered back with a fond smile. Did he stop by this place while looking for the wyvern? He supposed it would make sense that the rabbit would try to talk to the locales to get more information while searching the area.\n\nHe was tempted to tell how it was the rabbit that gave him his sword, and taught him how to use it, but that would more than likely just raise more questions, and raise doubts about his `Adventurer' qualifications - at least more than just his age, at least. \n\n``But, uh, no! He's already finished with that and heading back to Carran. I actually came here because Chloe pointed me in your direction! I have the potions your husband was meant to get.''\n\n``Oh?'' The older feline chuckled, ``A cute little lad like you running errands for the old wolf are you? She's not taken an apprentice finally, has she?''\n\n``Uh... Nothing like that, no,'' he shook his head. ``I was just in the area and making my way towards Carran, so she asked me to do a favor for her!''\n\n``I see... Well, that'll make the next few days a lot easier to bear than we thought they'd be,'' the woman answered with a fond smile... Before the hint of a teasing grin stretched into the corner of her lips. ``So you'll be heading off in the morning, then?''\n\n``That's right! I've kinda dallied a bit longer in these woods than I should have already... I... might have ran out of rations for the trip to town... I was kinda... hoping that I could trade with you for some provisions to make it the rest of the way?'' He asked with a bashful smile, whilst his eager, burning blue eyes kept their attention to the dirt rather than wander along the married cat's figure. ``I've got some coin to trade with, if that'll work.''\n\n``Hmm... I'll have to talk to my husband about that. He might be a bit late returning home... He's been sticking out later and later this season to try and increase the size of his haul since his catchings have become so meager, so he might not return until after it gets dark,'' she admits, tapping her finger against the side of her breast - whilst Rennard's ears burned as his mind immediately turned to the possibilities him being alone with the two female cats for a few hours could mean. ``Well, I'm certain we'll think of something. We can't have the boy who stole my daughter's heart go hungry after all.''\n\n``Wait - what?'' His blush grew deeper with the tease, his tail tucking itself between his legs as he did so.\n\n``Well, it's only to be expected, you're the first boy she's ever seen,'' the woman giggled, offering a playful wave towards the kitten dutifully washing her dress clean of the viscous blue gunk clinging to the fabric. ``She's been quite lonely out here... It's a shame that you can't stay longer - it'll no doubt break her little heart when you have to leave in the morning.''\n\n``Ah... Yeah. I, uh, know how that goes,'' Rennard admitted, recalling how morose he had been for most of the day with the absence of his second wife - he couldn't imagine how much more difficult it would be to have her first and maybe only friend leave so soon too... A thought which finally helped to soothe his libido as his thoughts turned towards his own friends from his own world he might never see again - ironic, considering he booted up that game originally just to brag to the bunch of brats he ran with. ``I wish I could stay longer, but... There's important stuff I have to do in town.''\n\n``No, no, I understand~'' The cat answered with a forlorn sigh, raising her hands in pre-emptive defeat. ``As tempted as I am to play matchmaker to help her snatch a handsome groom-to-be, I suppose there's not much point to... It's not like it'll lead to anything... Not unless the Goddess bequeathed onto her a miracle for her to have her own children.''\n\nHer gaze returned to her daughter with a morose expression, one hand resting against her chest, whilst the other unconsciously brushed across her abdomen as she recalled the months she had spent growing their bundle of energy within her.\n\nRennard was silent for a moment, not quite certain how he should answer that, his tail flicking to and fro as he slowly, desperately, crawled his mind out of the gutter by keeping himself just out of range of his Duty of the Chosen activation range. Should he tell her that he's the Chosen..? Maybe that was the right play, it would certainly soothe the mother's mind to know that her daughter could have a family of her own...\n\nBut that would likely make her that much more likely to try and wed her to him, and he already had enough wives on his hands - nevermind keeping her at his side would probably put her in danger! Still... Maybe he should bring it up, somehow...\n\n``I'm done mom!'' Juliana interrupted the awkward silence by running back, bringing her dress with her as she did so to show off how she had scrubbed most of the gunk off of it. ``Can I go play now?''\n\n``Mmm... It's not perfect, but... Sure, I'll finish taking care of the rest of it. Go have fun with Rennard - but stay within sight of the house!'' She spoke, before needing to shout the rest as Juliana quickly handed off her incomplete chore to the adult cat and grabbed a hold of Rennard's arm to all but drag him over towards the river.\n\n``Okay mom~''\n\nEh... He supposes it could wait to tell the mother about what he had swinging between his legs later - perhaps while her husband was around. It [i]had[/i] been a while since he just got to... play, and not like how he and Kimi ``''''played''''''.\n\n[center]* * *[/center]\n\nIn the end, he and Juliana had gotten to play for hours interrupted, jumping from one childish game to the next, whilst he did his best to keep his mind from [i]not[/i] thinking about how she had looked splayed out on the ground. At some points, they would be going through some game he had played from home, jumping from tag to hide and seek, and even to skipping rocks along the river like his father had shown him during a camping trip - although Juliana handedly out did him in that competition. Other times, the kitten wanted him to show her `what he could do', to which he took as showing off the skills he had collected - her little eyes went wide when he showed off his magic, using it as an excuse to burn through the last of his Mana with an evening practice session like Kimi typically instructed.\n\nFortunately, during those hours her mother had gotten her a clean dress to wear so he didn't feel [i]completely[/i] awkward about the kitten flaunting her bare puss to him during their escapades - although the older cat threw in a tease by asking if he wanted his cloak and clothes washed while he was here despite not having anything to change into. He swore she must have enjoyed making him blush... Was that just a woman thing in general? It certainly seemed like it considering how Chloe teased him too!\n\nBut, either way, their evening activities ultimately ran down to an end as the sun began to set, and the pair of cubs were shepherded into the home as they awaited the father's return, the light within provided by a fish oil lamp as the woman finished up a late dinner for the four of them. No shock, the centerpiece of the meal seemed to be some of the fish that her husband had caught from yesterday, boiling them in a pot over a fire whilst a smaller pot cooked some sort of sauce which smelled of mint.\n\nIt wasn't [i]quite[/i] up to par with the food he was used to his mother cooking for him back in the modern day, but compared to the rather poorly prepared roasted fish he had made from Kimi's catches, or the rations Chloe had given him, it was quite the godsend, or rather, goddess send - and at least its subtle, herby flavor wasn't completely unappetizing.\n\nBesides, whatever the flavor lacked was more than made up for by the distraction Juliana created, sitting next to him as they ate, all but pressing herself against his side and making his shaft [i]strain[/i] against the leather straps imprisoning his hidden erection against his belly - his ears [i]ringing[/i] with the constant announcement of his Duty sparking yet another Arousal tick upwards whenever his Spirit check failed. The longer that they had played, the `clingier' she had gotten, or perhaps he should say the `needier' she was. Her cheeks and ears flushed with arousal, and her scent of youthful fertility was practically suffocating to his poor, receptive nose. Her little legs squirmed on her seat next to his, grinding her inflamed young sex between her thighs, and he could even swear that her hand had slipped beneath her dress...\n\nCould the last lot of potions they had taken be running out? Or, perhaps it was because of his presence that Juliana's arousal was getting out of hand... His cloak was meant to help hide his scent, but [i]was[/i] pressing herself close to him, so perhaps the proximity was allowing her innocent nose to catch the odd whiff of virility - driving her heat to a fever pitch like it had with so many of the animals he had encountered before.\n\nIf this was how all beings, not just beasts, reacted to his smell, then... Just what sort of a nightmare would he be meeting in Carran if his identity was discovered!? At least the kobolds [i]only[/i] numbered a couple dozen give or take... How could he satisfy the unrepentant lust of [i]hundreds[/i] of townsfolk!?\n\nThey were halfway through their meal when the heavy steps of a man approached the door, followed shortly thereafter by it swinging open to reveal a burly, charcoal gray tomcat whose head was covered by a straw hat. His left arm lugged with it a basket half-filled with fish, whilst the cat's right was used to take off his head covering. He was about to perform a well practiced motion of putting his hat aside when his brown eyes caught the unexpected sight of the boy sitting at the table next to his daughter with his mouth half-full of his wife's cooking.\n\n``Dear, we have a guest. A little adventurer ran into our daughter while she was fleeing from some slimes,'' the woman answered his unspoken curiosity as she walked over to greet him, drawing her tired husband's attention away from the youth with a fond brush of her hands over his chest, before her hands slipped down to wrest the bundle of fish from his hands. ``Here, let me put these away for you and get yourself a bowl to eat while you introduce yourselves.''\n\nRennard took that as his queue, awkwardly gulping down the remaining fillet of fish between his fangs and offering a polite dip of his head towards the man. ``Uh, evening! My name's Rennard... I was asked by Chloe to deliver some potions for you! I hope its alright if I spend the night - ''\n\n``Please can he stay the night dad~?'' Juliana interrupted him, wrapping her arms around the blushing fox's shoulders to pull him back into an awkward hug - thank the Goddess her hands never drifted down to his crotch to press the loose clothing against his lurking beast. Although the less than subtle pants of a horny kitten girl tickling against his ear certainly did its best to make his hidden weapon reveal itself with the resultant twitches coursing through it.\n\nHow the heck was he meant to hide [i]that[/i] secret from her overnight... There was no separate room for him to sleep in, and if she clung to him so readily now, he could only imagine how it would go in the middle of the night... His lurid mind immediately jumped to the vivid image, his hand cusping over her maw, helping to keep the little kitten's mewls of euphoria from stirring her parents nearby as he quenched her need...\n\nHe shook his head, banishing the image from his mind before his copious virility stirred enough to stain his cloak with his need and make the situation even worse. He focused as best he could, smiling apologetically to the man staring warily back at the boy his daughter was wrapped around.\n\nRennard hoped that her friendliness to him wouldn't be too off putting to the old cat - bringing to mind memories of how his Dad would grill the boyfriends Kimi brought home...\n\n``An adventurer, eh? At your age?'' The cat rubbed his chin, green eyes flicking to the small sword still resting on the boy's hip. ``Kid, haven't you been taught that it's bad manners to keep your weapon on you while staying as a guest at someone else's home?''\n\n``Oh! Uh, sorry. I'm kinda new at this sort of stuff...'' He gulped, hoping that the tomcat couldn't see his Levels. True, he had been here for less than a fortnight, but he was already Level 10. Sawyer might have been on the younger side for an adventurer, but he was still reasonably accomplished at Level 20, so he had to imagine 10 was well past the time for being a beginner.\n\nAlthough... The thought of Levels made the fox boy curious as he canted his head slightly to the side. Juliana's father had a build that reminded him a lot of Sawyer at a glance, he had thought nothing of it originally since anyone from his home world could work out to build muscle, but where would a fisher who spent most of his time working manage to get a physique that rivaled a Level 20 Warrior?\n\nRennard focused on what Sawyer had taught him, paying attention to how the fisherman moved as he strode towards the pot, how he held himself, which foot he favored, all to try and get his Analyze skill to activate...\n\n[q][i]Analyze Skill Activated[/i][i]\n[/i][i]??? - Lvl 20 Swordsman/Lvl 10 Knight[/i][/q]\n\nWait, [i]KNIGHT!?[/i] That was the Class Sawyer originally wanted!\n\nWhat was a knight doing all the way out here as a [i]fisherman[/i] of all things? The rabbit had made it sound like becoming a knight was a big deal!\n\n``It's even ruder to stare at someone else Stats, especially when they're the Master of the home you're staying at,'' the feline knight replied after noticing the obviously gobsmacked expression on the fox boy.\n\n``Ah! I'm sorry!''\n\nThe older cat shook his head with a disappointed tut, striding back with his plate of fish in hand to sit where Juliet - Juliana's mother - had sat before. The female cat had likewise returned with a mug of drink for her husband, placing the basket of fish aside for the moment.\n\nHis weary, cynical gaze stared at Rennard, making him shirk back as he realized he was being Analyzed in turn - its not like he could complain after he had started it, after all.\n\n``Level 10 is quite impressive for a boy your age... And yet you say you're rather new at this sort of thing, eh?'''\n\n``Uh...'' Rennard's eyes flicked, his boyish mind reaching for the first convenient lie that would come to mind beneath the glowering stare from the man that could easily kick his ass.\n\nJuliana, meanwhile, puffed out her cheeks, huffing at her father's attitude before finally speaking. ``Daddy! You're being [i]meeean~!''[/i]\n\n``Sorry, I'm new at the whole adventuring thing. I've had a bit of experience being a tamer before starting,'' he quickly settled on his lie with as endearing a grin as he could imagine.\n\nWhether it was because his deceit was believed, or because of his daughter's pouting, the tomcat dropped it with a sigh, tutting disparagingly underneath his breath before changing his question. ``Well then, newbie, what brings you all the way out here by yourself?''\n\n...He really should have thought of a cover story before the cat got home. He had been so preoccupied with Juliana, and Juliet had taken him in so readily because of her daughter's happiness, that he hadn't thought of how to answer those sorts of questions. He couldn't rightly say he came for the wyvern contract, that was a Level 20 Quest after all. Should he say he was Sawyer's apprentice? But the bunny wasn't with him, and it would reflect poorly upon the lapine if it got out that he had abandoned a charge out in the woods - even if it was his own fault for turning into a werebeast! Chloe, perhaps? He [i]was[/i] delivering stuff for her, but they knew Chloe for a while, far longer than he had, so hitching his excuse to that post might just rouse further suspicions...\n\nWait! Kimi said that pilgrims would occasionally come to the shrine she was stuck at originally, right..? What was it called again...\n\n``I was coming to do a pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Chosen, actually,'' he eventually replied after several seconds. Fortunately, the cat didn't seem to mind his hesitation to speak, using it as an excuse to cut the tender fish with his two-pronged fork and devour the piece of meat until then.\n\n``Awww, what a devout boy you are! Not many make the trip anymore. I myself haven't had much time to visit recently... Is Kimi doing well? She seemed quite lonely as its protector.'' Juliet interjected with a smile.\n\nRennard visibly cringed when he discovered that the cat knew about his sister - perhaps that's why the feral vixen had kept her distance since they discovered the kitten. \n\nHe wouldn't get a chance to answer her, however. No sooner had he mentioned the Shrine the mood on Juliana's father visibly worsened. A scowl spread across his brow, and his lips even twisted back into a silent hiss, whatever biting retort on his lips spared only because of the bite of fish the feline was now angrily swallowing.\n\n``Oh yes, how devout indeed, keeping to the tenants of the Goddess responsible for cursing everyone with this maddening plague,'' he finally spat out, his anger seething beneath his fur so hotly that Rennard [i]swore[/i] he could feel its warmth through his cloak's insulating enchantment!\n\n``Dear...'' Juliet spoke again, trying to calm down her husband before he grew too irate.\n\nWhy did he have to pick the worst lie he could have gone for... And why was the tomcat so angry at the Goddess? Did the man believe she was responsible for the Great Emasculation?\n\nThe wrathful feline's gaze snapped towards his wife's direction, his lips already twisted into their next spiteful growl. But, with her pleading stare, he took a long, drawn out breath, closing his eyes as he swallowed his anger. A second later, and they were opened again, staring at the peculiar boy with a stony, stoic expression once more, but Rennard could still see the coals of frustration burning just beneath the visage.\n\n``My apologies... So how was the shrine? Has the Chosen finally appeared to finish Her humiliation of us?'' He added with a bitter grumble, gulping down a mouthful of ale as he waited for the reply.\n\n``Hunny...'' The soothing woman's hand pressed against her husband's shoulder, squeezing against his linen shirt to help soothe his anger, whilst for once Juliana had stayed quiet - albeit pressed against his side as she waited for her father's anger at the Goddess to subside.\n\n``I... Uh...'' He thought for a moment, biting his lip as he considered how to answer, while glad he had decided to try and hide his identity considering the reaction he was having.\n\n``Well, Kimi was the only one there when I finally found it,'' he answered with a truth that he hoped would serve as an answer. His tail swished shyly along the floor as another thought came to him, even if he thought it was a bad idea and could arouse the older cat's hatred more, he decided to go with it, hoping it would either move the topic away from the Chosen's arrival, or at least make his excuse more believable. ``A shame, I guess! I was kinda hoping that the Goddess would pick me to be her Chosen after I reached it..!''\n\nHe smiled as bashfully as he could, anxious that the lie would be seen, or that his prickling of the cat's temper would go too far... But, to his surprise, while it did draw a scoffing retort from the feline, it seemed to [i]soothe[/i] his spirits.\n\n``If only it could be that easy... Gods have mercy, you wouldn't even know what you've been denied thanks to Her folly...''\n\n`Gods'? Rennard's ear perked. Mostly everyone else had just referred to the Goddess - singular. Then again, he seemed to have hated her, so perhaps he went for some other generic term to avoid invoking her title in particular.\n\nThe feline shook his head again, sighing as he began to relax at last, resting his weight on one arm, whilst the other continued to shovel food into his mouth between his words. ``This entire world is on its way to the Abyss. Demons invading, kingdoms falling into disorder... Even the wilds are slowly dying. Every year my catch grows sparser and sparser... It's only a matter of time now before even a river the size of ours becomes unable to support even a small family like ours...''\n\nRennard's tail twitched. It surely couldn't be getting [i]that[/i] bad anytime soon, right..? The Goddess was still spawning more creatures!\n\nBut... If the man's attitude was shared by more people than he realized, perhaps the Goddess' power truly was lacking to maintain the world without his intervention...\n\n``Sorry, I let my temper get the better of me, kid. My name is Roman, yours?''\n\n``Oh! Rennard,'' he replied without thinking.\n\nJuliet's lips pursed, her tongue flicking against the side of her mouth... Did she recognize his name..? Wait, what if Kimi mentioned him in passing during one of her visits!?\n\nFortunately, it looks like she abandoned trying to recall where she heard the name from before recalling, considering the small, silent shrug she gave before collecting his and Juliana's plates as her husband finished his serving.\n\n``Rennard, right... Thank you for helping out my daughter, and for keeping her company while I was working,'' Roman replied with the faintest hint of a smile upon his lips.\n\nHis change in attitude resonated well with the girl, who beamed from ear to ear against his cheek with his apparent acceptance.\n\n``It warms my heart to see her finally get to play with a friend. You're welcome to stay the night. I take it you're returning to Carran in the morn?''\n\n``That's right,'' he answered, not bothering to explain that it would be his first time visiting, not a `return' to avoid further questions.\n\n``It's at least a couple of days? walk from here, do you have enough provisions?''\n\n``Uh... No... I ran out of food this morning... I was planning on trying to forage and fish on my way back...'' He admitted, silently breathing a prayer of gratitude that he wasn't the one to bring up needing food.\n\nHis predicament still made Roman's face settle into a display of contempt, however. ``Honestly... Lack of etiquette, setting out on such a long journey without enough food... What has the Guild come to nowadays if this is how they're teaching the youth?''\n\n``We should have something we can spare to at least fill your belly tomorrow,'' he finally offered while finishing up his meal.\n\n``Ah! That's more than generous, thank you!'' Rennard chirped in reply.\n\n``Daaaddy~'' Juliana spoke again, diverting her old man's attention back to her at last as she did so.\n\n``What is it, Julie?''\n\n``Can I `scratch' with Rennard tonight instead of Mom?''\n\nRennard's ears flushed a vivid scarlet, flicking back against his scalp while his eyes went wide in horror. His blue eyes turned towards Juliana who seemed to be filled with hope and excitement, and to Roman's whose scowl spoke truer than any words could have.\n\nThank the Goddess shotguns didn't exist, not that he pictured being run out of the house by a spear or sword was that much better.\n\n``No.'' The grumpy cat's firm retort was immediate, making the girl pout whilst Juliet giggled from the corner of the room.\n\n[center]* * *[/center]\n\nRennard's immediate guess about what `scratch' meant had been true... To scratch their `heat'.\n\nJuliana's need was the most vivid to Rennard's nose, considering how much the young girl clung to him, but his keen nostrils could still suss out the two older feline's need beneath hers as well.\n\nHer lust had grown desperate enough that Juliet had escorted her away, despite her clinging protests to the boy she wanted to `scratch' her need instead, acquiescing to her parents? reminder that such things weren't appropriate with a boy until they were married. With her removal, both Rennard and Roman breathed a sigh of relief, with Rennard looking as apologetic as he possibly could.\n\nHe used the manners his parents had drilled into him as an excuse to move the conversation on, offering to help clean up as thanks for the dinner they had shared with him. Roman refused, believing it was only good manners to take care of a guest, but after mentioning how he needed to go prepare to preserve the fish he had just caught, Rennard instead pivoted to ask to watch - after all, it removed him from the house while the two girls `scratched' themselves, and offered an opportunity for him to pick up some more survival skills!\n\nRoman seemed conflicted about it at first but... After a second, he agreed, picking up his catch and escorting the boy outside to where an open shed was, complete with a high wooden bench soaked from many years of use.\n\n`Would preparing fish like this still be considered butchering?' The boy thought silently, as his gleaming blue eyes observed every detail as the cat worked - old memories of his father taking him and Kaldric on a fishing trip years ago surfacing in his mind as he did so.\n\nRoman, fortunately, made certain to go slow, explaining the process thoroughly as he did so. Rennard even started to think that he was enjoying the chance to teach him considering his mood seemed to have improved since they started.\n\nAfter showing him a few times, the older cat offered one of the smaller fish to him to try. Without thinking, Rennard pulled out the knife he had been given instead of asking for Roman's, holding the fish in his left as he moved to begin.\n\n``That's a kobold knife, isn't it?'' The knight remarked, making Rennard freeze in place once again.\n\n``Ah, yeah! ...One of my first encounters was with a bunch of kobolds, so it's sorta a... trophy I guess?'' He answered with a half-truth once more.\n\nThe man chuckled, his grumpy expression softening with a small smile as he answered. ``Well, it fortunately fits comfortably enough in your hands it seems. Those lizards can be no end of trouble...''\n\nRennard relaxed as Roman shared a few tales from his younger years, about how he and some of his men had to chase some kobolds out of an old mine once - and the zany antics that followed, up to and including the entire squad having to flee for their lives after the tiny monsters sent a barrel full of stones rolling down a mineshaft towards them!\n\nAfter beheading and removing the inedible guts from a few of the fish for practice - including the eggs which they put aside since they were edible, despite Rennard's overt disgust at the idea - Roman explained a few of the methods they used to store or prepare them. These ones they would store in salt, packing where the guts had been with the substance to preserve them. Short of having that, he explained how Rennard could try taking a hand at smoking them if he needed, giving an overview of the technique of cutting thin streaks of meat and tying them above a fire. Of course, there were many other ways to store fish, but those were the two most useful for a traveler like him, or so the adult cat believed.\n\nAfter finishing `helping' - or rather, being taught - Rennard left the older cat to clean up while he washed his hands in the river, as well as glanced around to see if he could spot his sister. After a minute, the older fox revealed herself, staring at him from the woods with an idly amused expression. After the boy glanced back at the house to see that Roman had gone back inside, he reached into his backpack, pulling out some of the fish Juliet had cooked which he had discretely hidden into his bowel and leaving it out for her to collect.\n\n`Sorry I couldn't save you more, sis!' He mouthed to her, unable to project a whisper to her after having burnt through his Mana practicing with Juliana.\n\nHe wasn't certain if his offering of cooling fish would be enough to avoid her teasing when they met up in the morning. But, if it wasn't, perhaps he could tease back with how much his little heist felt like trying to feed scraps to the dog behind their mother's back...\n\nHe returned to the cat's house a moment later, just in time to hear Juliana's groan of pleasure from behind the half closed door to their pantry.\n\nRennard gulped, lacking in the discipline to stop himself from looking over to the room, partially spotting the two cats through the gap left open by the door. They had both stripped out of their dresses, the young, ten-year-old kitten sitting in her mother's lap, panting as her small hands squeezed tight to the arm squeezed around her, while Juliet's other hand... Well, with their backs turned towards him, he couldn't tell [i]exactly[/i] what was going on, but with the repetitive motion that the woman's shoulder was doing, and what Sawyer had told him before, he could fill in the rest...\n\n``Another one of the Goddess' little humiliations...'' Roman drew his attention away with the bitter grumble, once again making the fox boy display a look of apologetic bashfulness to the man, but any attempt to apologize was interrupted by the older cat's next words. ``Its not your fault. The potions can only do so much... Yes, they take off the worst of the heat, but it's persistent...''\n\n``Juliana started her heats when she was six, I imagine it was similar for you and the other children in town,'' he explained, sipping from another mug of ale he had fetched. Rennard didn't confirm or deny, merely nodding along as he came to sit opposite of the grouchy feline.\n\n``You'd think She'd at least spare children from having to suffer, but...'' The cat continued before catching himself, dragging in a deep, long breath to calm down before he flew off the handle again.\n\n``Is it always this bad?'' Rennard asked, trying to garner an understanding for what the town would be like when he arrived.\n\n``No, we're fortunate that Chloe lives nearby enough. Tonight is particularly bad though... Perhaps the slimes got a hold of her for a while before you rescued her,'' he answered back with a shrug, letting the silence punctuated by the quiet, tender whimpers of the girl in the other room slowly fill the space to make the break in the conversation even more awkward.\n\n``Well... It's not proper, but if you need help,'' the cat scowled as he offered, clearly biting back his resentment as he did so.\n\n``Oh, uh, no! I'm good! I recently just visited Chloe after all, so I'm all... Well yeah!'' He answered, trying to pivot, even though the adult could likely see through his dismissal with but a glance. Even if Roman couldn't see his Arousal bar, the fluster and idle squirms of a lad that had been subjected to their aromatic callings for [i]hours[/i] had been taxing his willpower for hours. Even now, as they stood there, his snout was idly drifting back towards the half-open door, struggling to keep himself from imagining how much more delighted their noises would be if he was involved...\n\n``Hmmph... Can't blame you for trying to hold onto your pride at least,'' he shot back with what appeared to be an understanding smile.\n\n[center]* * *[/center]\n\nThe next hour had been almost [i]painful[/i] for the young, strapping, and oh so achingly erect fox boy. The only relief was how quickly the feline family had settled in for the night after dinner. No sooner had Juliana and Juliet returned from the pantry than the lamp was extinguished to preserve their oil and the lot of them settled in for bed. The couple took their usual spot at one side of the house, whilst Juliana was adamant to want to sleep next to Rennard, leaving the kit absolutely [i]tormented [/i]as he laid there, the cause of his constant announcement of Arousal checks tucked happily against his shoulder, doing everything he could to not just start [i]stroking[/i] right there and then...\n\n[i]Especially[/i] since Roman and Juliet took a bit longer than their daughter to fall asleep... `Scratching' each other's needs while he lay there pretending to sleep less than ten feet away.\n\n`Goddess preserve me,' he silently prayed, clenching his toes and gritting his teeth as he tried to ignore his [i]need.[/i] The [i]instant[/i] the couple was asleep, he was going to charge out and [i]fuck[/i] Kimi for Goddess knows how long after the torment he had gone through today!\n\nBut... Would that be the best way to go about things... Was he getting everything he could out of this quest?\n\n[q][i]Quest: The Salty Fisherman[/i][i]\n[/i][i]Objective: Deliver the Four Heat Relief potions to the fisher family further downriver. [/i]?[i]\n[/i][i]Bonus: [???][/i][i]\n[/i][i]Bonus: [???][/i][i]\n[/i][i]Bonus: [???][/i][/q]\n\nHe had handed over the potions, but hadn't yet `thought' about completing the quest just yet, not until he had finished those Bonus objectives. He had originally thought it would require him to breed all three, but considering how Roman reacted, perhaps he was wrong..? A Bonus objective should have made the quest more rewarding, and he doubted revealing himself as the Chosen to the old cat would have made him more amiable... Perhaps it needed him to [i]not[/i] reveal himself here...\n\nHis mind wandered idly as he listened to the two adult cats wind down from their `relief', trying to sort out what the other two objectives might be if that was the case... Perhaps he needed to breed Juliana without the other two being aware... Or...\n\nHe remembered how Roman had talked about the fish growing less and less numerous with every passing year, swiftly followed by the encounter he had had with the Dryads!\n\nThat's right, [i]all[/i] living creatures were unable to reproduce naturally anymore... From plants, to people... Which meant...\n\nHis face visibly scowled. Was he going to need to fuck a [i]fish!?[/i]\n\nHe couldn't!\n\nWas it even physically possible!?\n\nHow would he even go about it... just lay his cock out in the water and hope they came over? Did fish even [i]have[/i] holes he could fuck?\n\nThe physics of it all made him silently groan, not wishing to think of it further, but...\n\nHe needed to, right? If he didn't, the fish would go extinct here, their family could starve, or turn into refugees...\n\nRennard's ear perked up, listening to the two adult's steady, even breaths. It looked like they were finally asleep. With a steadying breath, the boy slowly removed himself from the kitten's clinging arms, soothing her unconscious whimpers with a pat to the head, before stepping back outside. If he was caught, he could always just say he was relieving himself, after all.\n\nIn a way, he was...\n\nWalking over towards where he had last seen Kimi, he spotted the now empty bowl first, before seeing the snoozing vixen next to it. His purposeful, strident steps awoke her before he reached her, her eyes fluttering open to see her brother's desperate hands already start to unfasten his cloak to expose his trapped, pulsating foxhood long hidden beneath it, before flicking up to spy an expression that nearly rivaled his rut-mad stares.\n\n``Hold on now, aren't we a bit too close~? You could be discovered, especially if we get a bit... noisy~'' Kimi giggled, stepping up to trot away to torment the needy cub.\n\n``C'mon... Please!? I even brought you food,'' he groaned quietly, lacking the mental fortitude to argue further as he flopped onto the ground next to her. If he wasn't going to get to fuck her, he was at least going to paw then, unstrapping the belts which had restrained his mighty eight-plus inches of virility against his pre-matted belly.\n\nThe mess he was about to make...\n\n``Actually,'' he mused, his hand stopping just shy from his quivering prick, knowing the second his hand started to sweep along the glossy, pre-glazed rod he wasn't going to stop until he was finished. ``Do you know how baby fish are made, Kimi?''\n\nThe aloof, tormenting smile she had been giving him disappeared in a moment, replaced with a dumbfounded stare as she canted her head to one direction. ``Do they not show the Magic Schoolbus in Science classes anymore...?''\n\n``What does that have to do with anything...?''\n\n``Nevermind.'' She shook her head, clearing her mind of [i]that[/i] particular memory as she did so. ``Well, not certain if its all fish, but you don't have to fuck one, don't worry. Female fish lay their eggs for the males to fertilize afterwards I think. So if you want to make a bunch of baby fish...'' She replied, pausing for a second as she contemplated with a hum. ``So I guess you'd just... fap across the eggs after?''\n\nRennard scowled again, recalling the lot of eggs he and Roman had collected from the fish earlier... Those wouldn't be any good now, he imagined, not after their `mothers' had been dead for so long, if they were even ready at all - not to mention he couldn't quite bring himself to steal their food and fap over it like some degenerate, even if he did plan to throw them back into the river afterwards.\n\nShould he just climax into the river, then..? Would his ungodly Impregnation Chance take care of things from there? It had to be more fine tuned than that, right? It's not like him just painting the soil with his seed caused all the plants nearby to be fertilized.\n\nBut, fortunately, he did have the tool to answer that question...\n\nPutting aside his desire to get off a bit longer, he rolled back onto his feet, reaching out a hand into the air as he focused.\n\n`Where is the best place to fertilize fish eggs within an hour's walk...'\n\nEarlier testing of his Guidance miracle had allowed him to realize he could ask more than just for the `nearest' example, important since the nearest could be out of reach! He had also discovered that while an impossible search, such as for any kobolds within a short distance, would use up a use but wouldn't create the direction.\n\nIt was incredibly easy to abuse with just the right phrasing, Rennard thought with a smug grin as the ethereal blue glow of his Miracle extended from his hand, stretching to the river before forking upstream. He could, for example, ask if there were any dangerous animals within x range and get a yes or no answer!\n\nSure, it was limited in its uses per day still, but maybe he had finally found something he could consider a `cheat', or perhaps it was just an [i]incredibly[/i] useful Miracle that any priest could know... Well, more questions for the Church when he got there.\n\nFor now, he followed the illusory directions for seconds that they lasted, Kimi walking alongside next to him. Considering he specified `within an hour', and had four more uses of it left, he could use it roughly every twenty or so minutes and save one to iron down the location when he was sure, although it was best to use it when he was conflicted in which direction to go...\n\nWhich happened some minutes after the search started and they came across a stream which bled into the river. Under Kimi's direction, he used his miracle again, and true enough, it directed them up the smaller waterway. A few more minutes of idle chatter and walking later, the boy's exposed, half-erect prick swaying with every step, they seemed to reach the location his Guidance was directing them too...\n\nWith Kimi helpfully providing light with her Fox Fire, Rennard took a breath and used the Miracle once more, following its direction as it led him to the shallow side of the stream. Taking off his sword, belts, and cloak, he waded in, trying to ignore the fact that his target this particular lurid deed would be targeted towards the piscine... He was just taking care of all that arousal he had been building up while half submerged in a slow moving stream, ignoring any slippery sensations against his feet that might have been his quarry.\n\n[q][i]Spirit Check Failed.[/i][i]\n[/i][i]Effect Activated: A Chosen's Duty[/i][i]\n[/i][i]9/20[/i][/q]\n\nAt least there [i]were[/i] fish here... Bashfully investigating the creature which had disturbed their latest attempt at unrequited spawning. That was a good thing for his odds of success...\n\nHe took a long, deep breath to steady himself, standing deep enough into the water that the stream's cool surface was tickling against his ample nuts. It didn't take his Arousal bar long to begin swelling again... He had plenty of ammunition to get his boyhood cooperating, picturing the various states he had seen Juliana in over the day, the fantasies he had pushed to the side...\n\nHis tool was almost at its full extent even before he started stroking. His ears flicked against the back of his scalp, huffing quietly into the night while Kimi watched from dry land. His small fingers wrapped around his tapered point, sliding along the pre-slick meat with growing familiarity, recalling those sweet whimpers from the kitten he had overheard, and combined them with the vivid impression he had of her on her back, spread out underneath him [i]waiting[/i] for his `assistance'.\n\nIt didn't take long at all for that to get his knot swelling from his sheath, huffing as his toes dug through the gravel beneath him whilst his tail lay floated along the stream's surface. His hips began to roll with every sweep of his right hand, leaving Rennard awkwardly attempting to keep his balance with nothing to hold onto as he drew closer and closer towards his release.\n\n[q][i]Effect Activated: A Chosen's Duty[/i]\n[i]Effect Activated: A Chosen's Duty[/i]\n[i]Effect Activated: A Chosen's Duty[/i]\n[i]Effect Activated: A Chosen's Duty[/i][/q]\n\nThe beads of pre trickling down from his prick to fall into the water seemed to be attracting the fish closer, a good number of the large animals flicking and contorting this way and that around his ankles, practically pushing each other out of the way to try and get closer towards the first hint of virility they had ever discovered - and each new egg-carrying piscine coaxing his Arousal bar higher that much faster with an additional stack of the Status.\n\nWho knows, when his Impregnation Chance grew higher in the future, perhaps that would be all he needed to perform this deed going forward... But for now, he had a few more notches of Arousal to work himself towards, and more than enough[i] [/i]`fertile ammunition' to reach it.\n\nHe gripped his rod with both hands, working over his meat in concert - his left kneading around his swelling knot, whilst the right continued to pump along the main girth, taking advantage of the techniques Lyca had used that morning to better pleasure himself as well. His tail flicked up from the surface of the water, exciting a salmon enough to jump after it before it crashed back down to join the breeding frenzy at his feet. All while he tried not to picture the lurid sight he made, `fishing' with a far more depraved rod, and oh so visible beneath the waning gibbous moon to his sister's eyes...\n\n[q][i]Arousal 20/20![/i][i]\n[/i][i]Enduring Lover activated![/i][/q]\n\nFortunately, with a few more pumping strokes, his ordeal was finally done! With a long, drawn out groan, the turbulent, swirling, lurid white bar underneath his Stamina hit its peak, coinciding with the distinctive twitch of his plump, virile balls pumping out long, fecund streaks of fox boy jizz through the night air to crash against the stream's surface a half second later! Again and again, coaxed on as long as he could manage with his still kneading grip as he pictured himself making the kitten a mother, ignoring how his thick cream dispersed into the water at his feet as a milky-white cloud of virility...\n\n[q][i]Experience Acquired![/i][/q]\n\nHe breathed a sigh of relief, happy that at least the depraved act he had just performed was not for nought, even if it did come with the large fish writhing at his feet releasing... something against his feet that made him awkwardly shift back, even as his last few ropes of cum continued to pour forth - \n\n[q][i]Experience Acquired![/i][i]\n[/i][i]Experience Acquired![/i][i]\n[/i][i]Experience Acquired![/i][/q]\n\nWait...\n\n[q][i]Experience Acquired![/i][i]\n[/i][i]Experience Acquired![/i][i]\n[/i][i]Experience Acquired![/i][i]\n[/i][i]Experience Acquired![/i][i]\n[/i][i]Experience Acquired![/i][i]\n[/i][i]Experience Acquired![/i][/q]\n\nOw his ears!\n\n[q][i]Level Up!

(Complete) [/i][/q]\n\nThe ping of Experience after Experience rung out seemingly unceasingly as he stumbled back, finally reaching the shoreline with a whimpered huff - leaving his `fishy wives' to spill their roe out onto the gravel bedding for his untold millions of pernicious sperm to sire with life, waiting until the flurry of announcements scrolling past his vision finally passed with the last of his release.\n\n``Rennard, are you alright -  Oooooh...'' Kimi inquired, stopping however as her gaze fell upon the fat boyhood swelling visibly against the cub's hand. Every twitch, every idle flex of the recently spent, but still rock hard length coaxing that tip slightly farther than before, until his prick grew a good third of an inch fatter, and his balls a tenth of an inch wider, in one go.\n\nHow she wished she could have felt [i]that[/i] growth spurt inside of her...\n\n``Huff... Huff...'' Rennard whined, flopping back to leave his Leveled Up monster twitch hotly in the evening air, slowly collecting himself as his afterglow faded. Despite his Enduring Lover proccing, with all the anticipation he had built up over the day, that climax had brought an equally pronounced fugue. \n\n``There's no way... That that was worth that much Experience... Right?'' He spoke, flicking towards his Character Sheet... There was no lying about his new Level though, skipping right past 11 and hitting his next Feat slot already! He glanced towards his Bestiary... And sure enough, there was the salmon he had just had the privilege of helping save from extinction... and another couple too? He supposed it took him long enough to masturbate that his pre had attracted all the nearby spawning aquatic species, a shame that they didn't count for his Bonus Objectives, but at least he had earned the first time bonus for each, helping to explain his obscene returns...\n\nHis jaw fell when he brought up his Conquest Log. Underneath his lengthy history of lovers in the short time he was here was his latest impact on ecological stabilization...\n\n[q][i]Conquest Log:[/i][i]\n[/i][i]...[/i][i]\n[/i][i]Fish (Various): 50,000 (25,000 female, 12,500 cuntboy, 12,500 male) Eggs.[/i][/q]\n\nThat... That couldn't be right, could it? He glanced towards the stream bed now [i]teaming[/i] with fishy eggs and his pernicious seed. Did his seed spread out a lot further than he intended..? No, that didn't seem right... Just how many eggs [i]did[/i] those fish expose?\n\nA giggle welled up in Rennard's chest. No wonder he had leveled up twice! If those eggs were even worth a single measly Experience apiece, he would have gained at least 50,000! Although, he couldn't be sure if an entire Level 11 Experience bar was that high, or if he had gained only a fraction for each egg... It amounted the same in the end, sweet, glorious Stats~\n\nIt might take a few years for them to mature, but... That should be more than enough to ensure Roman could continue fishing for as long as he wished! Who knows, maybe if wolves foraged in stream beds too, it could also help feed his pack if he found some needy fishies back closer towards them~\n\n``Rennard...?''\n\nA familiar voice that wasn't his sisters snapped him out of his giddy euphoria, causing his bright blue eyes to open in surprise, looking back the way they had come along with Kimi's amber gaze to spy the kitten he had spent all day playing with standing there, [i]staring[/i], past his face and towards the towering masculinity sputtering from his crotch.\n\nAll that hard work, all that frustration he had dealt with to conceal his existence as the Chosen from here, undone because she had managed to follow them after he left without either him [i]or[/i] Kimi noticing..?\n\nWait... He glanced towards the feral vixen, who met his gaze, before giving an innocent smile and wandering off to leave him and the girl his own age `alone'.\n\nDangit Kimi!\n\nAlthough... His mind mused upon the vivid fantasies he had just indulged... Fantasies that didn't have to remain fantasies any longer, now that they were a good, safe distance away from her grumpy father...\n\n``Hey... Juliana~'' He chimed back, remaining laying against the ground for now as he grinned back ever so salaciously. ``I guess I have some explaining to do... Huh~?''",

Did she just want to work us to death or something!?&#039;&#039; Rennard huffed as he trudged along the river.<br /><br />It had been quite a few hours since Lyca and him had to head off in their separate directions, and even as the sun began to slowly settle on its way to the western horizon, the kit still seemed to be in a poor mood from yet another farewell. He hadn&#039;t been in the best mood to perform his `duties&#039; along the way, which might have been for the best anyway considering they were on a bit of a schedule... At least if they wanted to settle in for the night with a bed and a roof over their heads, or have the poor boy&#039;s back suffer from another night of camping on the forest floor.<br /><br />Although, they had been walking for the better part of the day already - save for the breaks he needed for his Stamina to recuperate - and despite their relatively early start (delayed only by the time it took his knot to finally deflate after his goodbye to his feral wolf wife), it was already starting to get to the time of day where they would have normally started preparing for camp. Kimi had considered erring on the side of caution and trying for the fisherman&#039;s hut tomorrow and see what she could hunt from the river to feed them tonight, but after a creative use of Guidance asking for `the best safe spot to rest within an hour&#039;s walk&#039; returned a positive result in the direction they were heading, they pressed on.<br /><br />``Mmm... I&#039;d consider it good exercise, but who knows how that works here... I <em>imagine</em> you should still get some Stat buffs or Skills or something to get stronger or more enduring with training, or improve the underlying physique that the Stats then improve upon.&#039;&#039; The feral vulpine walking along with him added. ``Everything else outside of those stats and magic seems to work the same, after all.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``That, or... Maybe she was expecting you to make the run on all fours?&#039;&#039; The vixen added with a teasing giggle. ``You were certainly much faster as a dire fox than not.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Don&#039;t remind me...&#039;&#039; He added with an extra pout.<br /><br />\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bbcode_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_symbol' rowspan='2'>&quot;</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Control Form Lvl 1</em><em><br /></em><em>Represents a Shapeshifter&#039;s abilities to control their transformation.

Focusing upon his intended form, or going to his Form Menu and selecting it from there, booth seemed to have been equivalent. But, despite having tried it a few times in their earlier breaks, nothing seemed to have worked... Whether that was because he had failed the chance, or it was perhaps off of cooldown, he couldn&#039;t tell. The only thing the System told him each time he attempted was that his Skill had failed.<br /><br />It was also possible that it was impossible for him to transform , period, unless he had the full moon, which they were now one outside of if only by a day... Or without the presence of the moon, or god knows how many other factors that he didn&#039;t quite know. He would have loved to ask the werewolf that had turned him, but without going through the hassle of hunting her down, probably best to just study Therianthropes when he got the chance in Carran.<br /><br />Just when he thought he had discovered a hack for speeding up his trip to town, too. Damn werefox powers could stand to be a bit more convenient!<br /><br />``But, at least we should be getting near them soon~&#039;&#039; Kimi added with an idle murmur, trotting ahead a short while so that she could stretch out whilst waiting for the boy to catch up.<br /><br />But, before he managed to reach her, she shifted her attention away from him. Her amber eyes looked towards the woods nearby, canting an ear higher to try and track down what she had heard.<br /><br />``Tracked down dinner, or - &#039;&#039; Rennard spoke, half wary considering the ambush they had last night.<br /><br />He got his answer for himself when he heard a high pitched, feminine voice screaming for help relatively nearby. The kit paused for a second, processing for a moment what he should do, before slumping his bag off to the side and bolting in the direction of the cry, keeping one hand on the pommel of his sword to keep the blunt arming sword out of the way of his legs as best he could - even if the scabbard still slapped against his thigh as he ran.<br /><br />``Ren, wait!&#039;&#039; Kimi called out after him, before darting to follow along her younger brother to keep him out of trouble. After all, for all she knew, this was just another cunning trap from the demons hunting them to lure them into danger, but good luck trying to convince her sibling - always the little hero even before their arrival here in his playground make-believes - to be discreet.<br /><br />Fortunately, it didn&#039;t take them long to discover the source of the shout. The feral vulpine skidded to a halt, keeping to the tree line whilst the cloaked boy barged out full bore...<br /><br />Only to freeze momentarily when he caught up to what his sister had seen. It was a girl right around his age, a ten-year-old kitten with white fur that was doing her best to flee from a trio of pernicious slimes that seemed to have been chasing her! One of which seemed to have just managed to catch her by a foot, sending her spiraling to the dirt, whilst the second dutifully jumped upon her wrists to trap her haplessly against the dirt in a position that Rennard knew all too well.<br /><br />``I don&#039;t want to get slimed~!&#039;&#039; She mrowled tearfully, squirming as the final slime quivered with anticipation, jostling as it bundled up its semi-solid mass in preparation to pounce upon their target!<br /><br />Shit. He didn&#039;t have enough time to put any slimebane oil on his knife or sword... Wait, Kimi could attack them before by just layering her Fox Fire on her paws, right?<br /><br />He gave it a shot, resuming his charge towards the helpless domestic cat, drawing his sword in a tad bit more awkward a fashion as he might have desired during his heroic deed - and certainly in a way he imagined would get Sawyer smacking him for potentially putting him at risk with how he wielded it, but hey, it was a blunt training sword at least! Fortunately, he oriented the blade quickly as he needed it, focusing for a split second on the Mana within the core of his being towards his hand, sliding it across the arming sword&#039;s length to ensure the magic ignited upon the Novice weapon, right before his right arm swung the blade forward to intercept the slime mid pounce!<br /><br />\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bbcode_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_symbol' rowspan='2'>&quot;</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Fox Fire Used! -1 Mana.

Not again!&#039;&#039; The girl whined, huffing as her dress was drenched in the sticky, viscous blue ichor, causing the simple garb to cling to her lithe body while she squirmed against the other two slime&#039;s grip.<br /><br />His ears flicked against the back of his head in guilt, as his `grand heroics&#039; resulted only in making an even bigger mess than if he hadn&#039;t intercepted the creature, oops.<br /><br />Although, his meek, apologetic display only lasted for a second as his gaze settled upon the mess he had made - and in particular, how the lass&#039; clothes clung to her hips with the weight of the sensitivity-enhancing fluid soaking through the linen - all but hugging to every inch of her body, including the space between her thighs...<br /><br />\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bbcode_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_symbol' rowspan='2'>&quot;</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Spirit Check Failed.</em><em><br /></em><em>Effect Activated: A Chosen&#039;s Duty</em><em><br /></em><em>Arousal 1/20</em>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t</table>\n\t\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br /><br />His cheeks and ears flushed with embarrassment and a rush of desire, helped along his Geas to breed kicking into full gear now that he was so close to her. It took all of his effort to try and keep his eyes from staring too hard at her inappropriate areas, glancing to the side whilst also doing his best to keep his bloating sheath within his cloak from becoming too noticeable. All not helped by how his chest fluttered, adding yet more confusing emotions to the conflict within his psyche as he struggled to think of something to say instead of just bashfully glancing back down to the pinned girl.<br /><br />``Mmm... Now what&#039;s burning within that adorably depraved mind of yours, my dear younger brother~?&#039;&#039; Kimi&#039;s words whispered quietly against his ear, cast by the vixen&#039;s illusions. At least it gave him a focus to glance away from the kitten at his feet, shooting her a disparaging glare whilst the sprawled at a distance with a clear look of amusement spread across her features.<br /><br />\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bbcode_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_symbol' rowspan='2'>&quot;</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Arousal 5/20</em><br /><br /><em>Noise Used! -1 Mana.

But how couldn&#039;t a young, virile, <em>strapping</em> lad like yourself not get ideas when he finally has a girl his own age to play with~? One that&#039;s already laid out for him right there... Gosh, you <em>must</em> be able to <em>smell</em> the heat on her with how close you are, heck, I can smell it from here... You&#039;d be doing her a favor if you <em>ravished</em> her right here and now and gave her your kittens~&#039;&#039; His sister teased back, making the boy <em>squirm</em> on the spot, audibly whining in conflicted desire underneath her suggestive words!<br /><br />The worst part about it was that she was right! He could smell the need <em>burning</em> within her nubile, slime-soaked lips beneath the aroma of the lubricating goo. His toes dug into the dirt, struggling to maintain the image of a noble hero saving a damsel in distress, rather than turning it into... <em>that.</em><br /><br />Although, if he really thought about it... Would it have been a problem? Was this <em>really</em> any different than all the beasts in the woods he had bred..? If he showed off his dick, and she was as eager as they were, was there really any problem with what Kimi recommended..?<br /><br />``Uh... Um... Excuse me...&#039;&#039; The kitten knocked him out of his lurid contemplation with a sheepish smile. It looked like she had been a bit too stunned by his sudden arrival and `rescue&#039; to speak until now, but now that she had processed everything she stared up at the boy with a bashful smile - and an idle flick of her tail. ``Thank you for trying to rescue me, but, uh... Do you think you can help get rid of the other two as well~?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Oh, yeah! Sorry.&#039;&#039; Rennard replied with as soft a smile as he could manage - taking a moment to adjust some of the leather belts he wore ever since getting them from the kobold&#039;s to make an impromptu `holster&#039; to keep his budding excitement trapped against his belly - before turning his attention to the last two slimes.<br /><br />\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bbcode_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_symbol' rowspan='2'>&quot;</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Fox Fire Used! -2 Mana.

What&#039;s yours?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Ah... Rennard...&#039;&#039;<br /><br />He barely had the time to get that out before she threw into a barrage of questions - her bright green eyes turned towards him, with an almost fierce, toothy smile to her lips. ``Rennard? I don&#039;t think I remember dad talking about any Rennards nearby! What are you doing all the way out here? Are you an adventurer from Carran~? I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve seen any boys my own age before! You&#039;re definitely the first! Do you know many other kids~? I hear there&#039;s not many of us kicking about! Oh, do you want to come home with me? It&#039;s getting late, and you won&#039;t find some place better to camp for the night! Dad will totally give you something to eat for helping me too, and then we can play! Dad doesn&#039;t always have time to play with me, and you can teach me how all the boys and girls in town play while we wait for supper!&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``I, uh...&#039;&#039; He glanced desperately towards the trees where his sister was hiding, desperate for some advice on how to handle the girl from the fairer sex - only to get complete an utter silence to his plea as the feral vixen desperately tried to keep her giggles from being audible to the star eyed girl sitting in front of him.<br /><br />``I&#039;m, uh, not from around here, no - &#039;&#039; he once again started to speak, trying to respond to the first question she had thrown his way, only to get cut off once more as the nimble feline jumped up to her feet and clapped her hands around his, pulling him closer so her beaming smile could stare at him from under a foot away.<br /><br />``Oooh! Are you from outside the Kingdom!? Almost no one travels across borders anymore! You gotta tell me all about the outside world!&#039;&#039;<br /><br />Why didn&#039;t he just take the opportunity to breed her while he had the chance. His ears burned with a desire he didn&#039;t quite know how to handle, especially not with how caught on the back foot he was by her forthright curiosity and fascination with him.<br /><br />``I <em>guess</em> we should get back home before we keep talking though...&#039;&#039; She eventually spoke after a second of confused silence by the kit, turning her attention back to her linen dress with a huff. ``I&#039;ll also need to wash this as well...&#039;&#039;<br /><br />Rennard&#039;s ears turned beat red as, without skipping a beat, the feline pulled her dress up over her head, leaving her all but naked before his eyes, making it even harder for his eyes to not bore into the needy little kitten box, especially as the lack of garb offered no protection to his sensitive nostrils drinking in the paradoxical scent of youthful fertility. The claws on his feet dug deeper into the dirt, his blue eyes clenching shut as he offered a protesting huff at her naive indiscretion - going further by covering his view with a hand while he muttered - trying to remove the image of her wet, dripping entrance from where it had seared onto his mind. ``You shouldn&#039;t take off your clothes around a boy like that!&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Why?&#039;&#039; She shot back, tilting her head to the side in confusion. ``It&#039;s not like we&#039;ve got anything different underneath our clothes do we?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``I, uh... It&#039;s still just... It&#039;s improper!&#039;&#039; He grumbled back while biting his lip. Of <em>course </em>she wouldn&#039;t be taught differently considering, as far as anyone knew, no one had a penis anymore. Then again, he vaguely remembered hearing that people cared a lot less about nudity in the past, so maybe that could be it as well?<br /><br />``That&#039;s funny~&#039;&#039; Juliana giggled, rolling her slime-soaked clothes into a bundle that quickly got tucked underneath left arm, before using the right to yank along the swords-boy with her. ``You&#039;re funny! Dad will probably like you, though! He always wished I could find a handsome, gentlemanly boy to marry!&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Ah! Marry? Isn&#039;t it a bit too soon to discuss something like that~?&#039;&#039; He meeped, glancing back towards Kimi mournfully for a rescue he knew wasn&#039;t going to come, instead seeing the vixen give a playful shoo of her forepaw to go have fun on this impromptu `play date&#039;.<br /><br />``I guess it <em>IS</em> a bit early...&#039;&#039; She conceded with a confident nod. ``Besides, Dad would want to make sure you could fish before letting you marry me! I don&#039;t know if he&#039;d approve of me marrying an Adventurer either...&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Wait, fish...? Does your Dad make a living fishing from the river?&#039;&#039; The kit interjected again, starting to slowly get a handle on conversing with the excited cat. It didn&#039;t make the throbbing spire flexing against the adjusted belt beneath his cloak any easier to bear, but it at least made their conversation a tad bit less one-sided as they walked into the woods hand-in-hand.<br /><br />``Yeah! He and Mom moved all the way out here before I was born! He never really told me the reason why, but it helped us avoid a lot of the issues that came after everyone got inside-thingies!&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``I&#039;ve actually got something for you then! Chloe gave me stuff to give to your father since she missed him,&#039;&#039; he replied, keeping his eyes to the side as their stroll continued.<br /><br />``Oh yeah! He did say he was a bit annoyed that she wasn&#039;t there... He left his payment as normal, but it usually takes her a few days to get around to us, and we&#039;ve already been a bit out of her potions for a bit...&#039;&#039; She admitted with a blush and a sheepish smile.<br /><br />``What about yourself? If you met her you should be stocked but it looks like you&#039;ve run out at all with how red your ears are!&#039;&#039; She added with a giggle and a teasing grin, leaning close enough to briefly lay her head against his shoulder.<br /><br />``Uh! I&#039;m, uh... Fine! Just a bit exhausted! I&#039;ve been walking for most of the day to reach your place...&#039;&#039; He lied, his ears tucking closer to his scalp to try and obscure the burning flush in his inner ears.<br /><br />``Well, if you&#039;re sure~ But if you do need help taking the bite off of it, maybe Dad will let me help~&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Uh... Help?&#039;&#039; He inquired with a gulp, knowing he&#039;d probably regret learning the answer.<br /><br />``Yeah! Help! Sometimes when my heat gets really bad Mom will help me with a wood toy! Mom and Dad always help each other, but I never get a chance to be the one helping!&#039;&#039; She added with a pout, whilst Rennard&#039;s young mind tried to picture just what sort of <em>toy</em> she was alluding to - maybe a dildo like the one Sawyer had?<br /><br />``I- uh. No-no I&#039;m good thank you!&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Aww...&#039;&#039; The kitten&#039;s ears drooped, pulling away from the boy&#039;s hand at last to take a few skipping steps ahead of them. ``That&#039;s no fun!&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Well, we can play something else instead, alright? You wanted me to teach you about some of the games I play with other kids, yeah?&#039;&#039; He added with an apologetic smile, whilst his mind busily contemplated the <em>other</em> means of play he could `teach her&#039; despite his best efforts not too.<br /><br />``You promise Ren?&#039;&#039; Her huffing pout was quickly washed aside by another smile.<br /><br />They continued to walk for the next couple of minutes - first going back to where he had first heard her cry for help to pick up his bag before following her lead home - and all the way Rennard did his best to answer the seemingly endless questions that spilled forth from Juliana. Some of which were easy enough to answer before the next curiosity took her fancy, while others he was left reeling on the back foot, trying to contemplate just how to answer or to deflect. Surprisingly enough, some of the games he played with other kids were part of those - unsure of how to answer without revealing that he was from another world. Talking about videogames was right out, after all, but even describing some of the playground activities he got up to with his friends still seemed to cause wonder at every turn.<br /><br />For example, his attempt to describe how they played `kings and castles&#039; with the jungle gym didn&#039;t exactly go over well, as his attempt to describe a small wooden `fort&#039; made him sound like some sort of lavish <em>prince.</em> He nearly spilled yet more detail when he let the word digimon slip when talking about how he would play pretend with his friends and have mock battles, needing to deflect to calling them `friendly monsters&#039; that usually helped children - which seemed like a fanciful but believable tale to the girl, shouting about how she wanted a digimon of her own to go on adventures with!<br /><br />Hopefully she didn&#039;t grow up to be some fairy tale writer... He didn&#039;t think he could forgive himself if his loose tongue ended up with it becoming this world&#039;s version of Hansel and Gretel.<br /><br />But, at least, they had finally reached a small wooden home, set a touch farther from the river than he had expected. He might have missed it entirely if he had to find his way to it himself, if it wasn&#039;t for the make-shift fence/wall of sticks and branches buried against one side of the bank to offer mooring for a small boat - perhaps what the dad cat used when fishing?<br /><br />The house itself was pretty much what he&#039;d come to expect, a touch more... proper than the hut that Chloe had, although it surprisingly looked a touch smaller - perhaps only a single main room with perhaps a second for storage. Most of the actual work for preparing fish seemed to take place outside with an attached, open face shed.<br /><br />A single room... Would he be able to sleep here after all? Attempting it sounded like a good way for him to be discovered come the morning where his morning glory would be on full display... If he could even manage to get through the night subjected to a barrage of Arousal gains, nevermind the combined fertility of three wanting pussies needing to be satisfied...<br /><br />``Moooom. Daaaad, I&#039;m back, and I made a friend!&#039;&#039; Juliana called out, skipping forward in all of her naked glory and grinning from ear to ear.<br /><br />``What have we told you about staying out so late, girl...? And what manner of poor animal have you captured this time to try and adopt - Oh it&#039;s a boy! Hello there!&#039;&#039; A white cat that looked much like Juliana walked out from the front door to greet them, offering a surprised smile when she spotted the adventurer lad by her daughter&#039;s side. She seemed quite mature, although he couldn&#039;t quite place her age - perhaps mid to late 30s? Although, she certainly was pleasing to the eye, much like her daughter, with a lovely bosom which was just large enough to give her dress a pleasing curve - giving the stubborn, lurid thoughts dancing across his brain a second target to focus their sordid fantasies upon.<br /><br />``Its quite unusual to see a boy your age, yet alone all the way out here! Are you an adventurer?<br /><br />``His name&#039;s Rennard! And he rescued me from some slimes that were chasing me! Although he still couldn&#039;t stop my dress from getting drenched,&#039;&#039; Juliana answered for him with a pout, showing off the bundle of blue-soaked linens she had stripped off. ``He&#039;s an adventurer from out of the kingdom!&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Out of the kingdom!?&#039;&#039; The mother gasped, glancing towards the boy to confirm.<br /><br />``Ah... I&#039;m not from Carran is all I said! She kinda just assumed from there.&#039;&#039; He answered with a meek smile, hoping that explaining things with as little detail as possible might make his claim seem a touch less fantastical.<br /><br />``Oh I see. You have to forgive my dear daughter. There aren&#039;t many people for her to talk to all the way out here, so her imagination gets the better of her sometimes,&#039;&#039; the older cat answered, giving her lovely child an adoring pat on the head, before motioning her to a bucket. ``Here, go grab some water from the river Julie and let your dress soak, we&#039;ll give it a quick wash before the sun finishes setting.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Okay mom! Do you think Rennard can stay the night mom~?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Well, of course dear. How could we not reward your little hero with a place to rest his weary head for the night and what food we can spare?&#039;&#039; The woman answered with a chuckle before giving the girl another encouraging pat to pursue the chore she had just been given.<br /><br />``Can I play with Rennard after I&#039;m done mom~?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``If you hurry and get that dress washed before sunset, then yes dear~&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Okay!&#039;&#039; The kitten smiled, darting off to pick up the bucket and ran off to the river all by her lonesome.<br /><br />``Uh, should I go help her with that - &#039;&#039; Rennard inquired, motioning towards the river before the woman stopped him with a shake of his head.<br /><br />``Dear me, no. It&#039;s a simple chore, and I feel like you could use a break. She&#039;s so energetic at the best of times, I bet she was ecstatic to see a child her own age finally,&#039;&#039; the feline retorted with a dry chuckle, although the fond smile upon her lips never faded as she kept her sight upon the running girl.<br /><br />``So tell me, what brings an Adventurer, especially one so young, all the way out here? This was always a quiet forest, even before the Great Emasculation and its disastrous consequences, there aren&#039;t any Dungeons to pursue nearby, and slimes would hardly be worth hunting this far out. If you&#039;ve taken up that Wyvern contract, then you should probably head back home - not the least of which for the danger, but because another Adventurer is already days ahead of you.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Oh! You mean Sawyer? I already met him!&#039;&#039; Rennard answered back with a fond smile. Did he stop by this place while looking for the wyvern? He supposed it would make sense that the rabbit would try to talk to the locales to get more information while searching the area.<br /><br />He was tempted to tell how it was the rabbit that gave him his sword, and taught him how to use it, but that would more than likely just raise more questions, and raise doubts about his `Adventurer&#039; qualifications - at least more than just his age, at least. <br /><br />``But, uh, no! He&#039;s already finished with that and heading back to Carran. I actually came here because Chloe pointed me in your direction! I have the potions your husband was meant to get.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Oh?&#039;&#039; The older feline chuckled, ``A cute little lad like you running errands for the old wolf are you? She&#039;s not taken an apprentice finally, has she?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Uh... Nothing like that, no,&#039;&#039; he shook his head. ``I was just in the area and making my way towards Carran, so she asked me to do a favor for her!&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``I see... Well, that&#039;ll make the next few days a lot easier to bear than we thought they&#039;d be,&#039;&#039; the woman answered with a fond smile... Before the hint of a teasing grin stretched into the corner of her lips. ``So you&#039;ll be heading off in the morning, then?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``That&#039;s right! I&#039;ve kinda dallied a bit longer in these woods than I should have already... I... might have ran out of rations for the trip to town... I was kinda... hoping that I could trade with you for some provisions to make it the rest of the way?&#039;&#039; He asked with a bashful smile, whilst his eager, burning blue eyes kept their attention to the dirt rather than wander along the married cat&#039;s figure. ``I&#039;ve got some coin to trade with, if that&#039;ll work.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Hmm... I&#039;ll have to talk to my husband about that. He might be a bit late returning home... He&#039;s been sticking out later and later this season to try and increase the size of his haul since his catchings have become so meager, so he might not return until after it gets dark,&#039;&#039; she admits, tapping her finger against the side of her breast - whilst Rennard&#039;s ears burned as his mind immediately turned to the possibilities him being alone with the two female cats for a few hours could mean. ``Well, I&#039;m certain we&#039;ll think of something. We can&#039;t have the boy who stole my daughter&#039;s heart go hungry after all.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Wait - what?&#039;&#039; His blush grew deeper with the tease, his tail tucking itself between his legs as he did so.<br /><br />``Well, it&#039;s only to be expected, you&#039;re the first boy she&#039;s ever seen,&#039;&#039; the woman giggled, offering a playful wave towards the kitten dutifully washing her dress clean of the viscous blue gunk clinging to the fabric. ``She&#039;s been quite lonely out here... It&#039;s a shame that you can&#039;t stay longer - it&#039;ll no doubt break her little heart when you have to leave in the morning.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Ah... Yeah. I, uh, know how that goes,&#039;&#039; Rennard admitted, recalling how morose he had been for most of the day with the absence of his second wife - he couldn&#039;t imagine how much more difficult it would be to have her first and maybe only friend leave so soon too... A thought which finally helped to soothe his libido as his thoughts turned towards his own friends from his own world he might never see again - ironic, considering he booted up that game originally just to brag to the bunch of brats he ran with. ``I wish I could stay longer, but... There&#039;s important stuff I have to do in town.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``No, no, I understand~&#039;&#039; The cat answered with a forlorn sigh, raising her hands in pre-emptive defeat. ``As tempted as I am to play matchmaker to help her snatch a handsome groom-to-be, I suppose there&#039;s not much point to... It&#039;s not like it&#039;ll lead to anything... Not unless the Goddess bequeathed onto her a miracle for her to have her own children.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />Her gaze returned to her daughter with a morose expression, one hand resting against her chest, whilst the other unconsciously brushed across her abdomen as she recalled the months she had spent growing their bundle of energy within her.<br /><br />Rennard was silent for a moment, not quite certain how he should answer that, his tail flicking to and fro as he slowly, desperately, crawled his mind out of the gutter by keeping himself just out of range of his Duty of the Chosen activation range. Should he tell her that he&#039;s the Chosen..? Maybe that was the right play, it would certainly soothe the mother&#039;s mind to know that her daughter could have a family of her own...<br /><br />But that would likely make her that much more likely to try and wed her to him, and he already had enough wives on his hands - nevermind keeping her at his side would probably put her in danger! Still... Maybe he should bring it up, somehow...<br /><br />``I&#039;m done mom!&#039;&#039; Juliana interrupted the awkward silence by running back, bringing her dress with her as she did so to show off how she had scrubbed most of the gunk off of it. ``Can I go play now?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Mmm... It&#039;s not perfect, but... Sure, I&#039;ll finish taking care of the rest of it. Go have fun with Rennard - but stay within sight of the house!&#039;&#039; She spoke, before needing to shout the rest as Juliana quickly handed off her incomplete chore to the adult cat and grabbed a hold of Rennard&#039;s arm to all but drag him over towards the river.<br /><br />``Okay mom~&#039;&#039;<br /><br />Eh... He supposes it could wait to tell the mother about what he had swinging between his legs later - perhaps while her husband was around. It <em>had</em> been a while since he just got to... play, and not like how he and Kimi ``&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;played&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;.<br /><br /><div class='align_center'>* * *</div><br /><br />In the end, he and Juliana had gotten to play for hours interrupted, jumping from one childish game to the next, whilst he did his best to keep his mind from <em>not</em> thinking about how she had looked splayed out on the ground. At some points, they would be going through some game he had played from home, jumping from tag to hide and seek, and even to skipping rocks along the river like his father had shown him during a camping trip - although Juliana handedly out did him in that competition. Other times, the kitten wanted him to show her `what he could do&#039;, to which he took as showing off the skills he had collected - her little eyes went wide when he showed off his magic, using it as an excuse to burn through the last of his Mana with an evening practice session like Kimi typically instructed.<br /><br />Fortunately, during those hours her mother had gotten her a clean dress to wear so he didn&#039;t feel <em>completely</em> awkward about the kitten flaunting her bare puss to him during their escapades - although the older cat threw in a tease by asking if he wanted his cloak and clothes washed while he was here despite not having anything to change into. He swore she must have enjoyed making him blush... Was that just a woman thing in general? It certainly seemed like it considering how Chloe teased him too!<br /><br />But, either way, their evening activities ultimately ran down to an end as the sun began to set, and the pair of cubs were shepherded into the home as they awaited the father&#039;s return, the light within provided by a fish oil lamp as the woman finished up a late dinner for the four of them. No shock, the centerpiece of the meal seemed to be some of the fish that her husband had caught from yesterday, boiling them in a pot over a fire whilst a smaller pot cooked some sort of sauce which smelled of mint.<br /><br />It wasn&#039;t <em>quite</em> up to par with the food he was used to his mother cooking for him back in the modern day, but compared to the rather poorly prepared roasted fish he had made from Kimi&#039;s catches, or the rations Chloe had given him, it was quite the godsend, or rather, goddess send - and at least its subtle, herby flavor wasn&#039;t completely unappetizing.<br /><br />Besides, whatever the flavor lacked was more than made up for by the distraction Juliana created, sitting next to him as they ate, all but pressing herself against his side and making his shaft <em>strain</em> against the leather straps imprisoning his hidden erection against his belly - his ears <em>ringing</em> with the constant announcement of his Duty sparking yet another Arousal tick upwards whenever his Spirit check failed. The longer that they had played, the `clingier&#039; she had gotten, or perhaps he should say the `needier&#039; she was. Her cheeks and ears flushed with arousal, and her scent of youthful fertility was practically suffocating to his poor, receptive nose. Her little legs squirmed on her seat next to his, grinding her inflamed young sex between her thighs, and he could even swear that her hand had slipped beneath her dress...<br /><br />Could the last lot of potions they had taken be running out? Or, perhaps it was because of his presence that Juliana&#039;s arousal was getting out of hand... His cloak was meant to help hide his scent, but <em>was</em> pressing herself close to him, so perhaps the proximity was allowing her innocent nose to catch the odd whiff of virility - driving her heat to a fever pitch like it had with so many of the animals he had encountered before.<br /><br />If this was how all beings, not just beasts, reacted to his smell, then... Just what sort of a nightmare would he be meeting in Carran if his identity was discovered!? At least the kobolds <em>only</em> numbered a couple dozen give or take... How could he satisfy the unrepentant lust of <em>hundreds</em> of townsfolk!?<br /><br />They were halfway through their meal when the heavy steps of a man approached the door, followed shortly thereafter by it swinging open to reveal a burly, charcoal gray tomcat whose head was covered by a straw hat. His left arm lugged with it a basket half-filled with fish, whilst the cat&#039;s right was used to take off his head covering. He was about to perform a well practiced motion of putting his hat aside when his brown eyes caught the unexpected sight of the boy sitting at the table next to his daughter with his mouth half-full of his wife&#039;s cooking.<br /><br />``Dear, we have a guest. A little adventurer ran into our daughter while she was fleeing from some slimes,&#039;&#039; the woman answered his unspoken curiosity as she walked over to greet him, drawing her tired husband&#039;s attention away from the youth with a fond brush of her hands over his chest, before her hands slipped down to wrest the bundle of fish from his hands. ``Here, let me put these away for you and get yourself a bowl to eat while you introduce yourselves.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />Rennard took that as his queue, awkwardly gulping down the remaining fillet of fish between his fangs and offering a polite dip of his head towards the man. ``Uh, evening! My name&#039;s Rennard... I was asked by Chloe to deliver some potions for you! I hope its alright if I spend the night - &#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Please can he stay the night dad~?&#039;&#039; Juliana interrupted him, wrapping her arms around the blushing fox&#039;s shoulders to pull him back into an awkward hug - thank the Goddess her hands never drifted down to his crotch to press the loose clothing against his lurking beast. Although the less than subtle pants of a horny kitten girl tickling against his ear certainly did its best to make his hidden weapon reveal itself with the resultant twitches coursing through it.<br /><br />How the heck was he meant to hide <em>that</em> secret from her overnight... There was no separate room for him to sleep in, and if she clung to him so readily now, he could only imagine how it would go in the middle of the night... His lurid mind immediately jumped to the vivid image, his hand cusping over her maw, helping to keep the little kitten&#039;s mewls of euphoria from stirring her parents nearby as he quenched her need...<br /><br />He shook his head, banishing the image from his mind before his copious virility stirred enough to stain his cloak with his need and make the situation even worse. He focused as best he could, smiling apologetically to the man staring warily back at the boy his daughter was wrapped around.<br /><br />Rennard hoped that her friendliness to him wouldn&#039;t be too off putting to the old cat - bringing to mind memories of how his Dad would grill the boyfriends Kimi brought home...<br /><br />``An adventurer, eh? At your age?&#039;&#039; The cat rubbed his chin, green eyes flicking to the small sword still resting on the boy&#039;s hip. ``Kid, haven&#039;t you been taught that it&#039;s bad manners to keep your weapon on you while staying as a guest at someone else&#039;s home?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Oh! Uh, sorry. I&#039;m kinda new at this sort of stuff...&#039;&#039; He gulped, hoping that the tomcat couldn&#039;t see his Levels. True, he had been here for less than a fortnight, but he was already Level 10. Sawyer might have been on the younger side for an adventurer, but he was still reasonably accomplished at Level 20, so he had to imagine 10 was well past the time for being a beginner.<br /><br />Although... The thought of Levels made the fox boy curious as he canted his head slightly to the side. Juliana&#039;s father had a build that reminded him a lot of Sawyer at a glance, he had thought nothing of it originally since anyone from his home world could work out to build muscle, but where would a fisher who spent most of his time working manage to get a physique that rivaled a Level 20 Warrior?<br /><br />Rennard focused on what Sawyer had taught him, paying attention to how the fisherman moved as he strode towards the pot, how he held himself, which foot he favored, all to try and get his Analyze skill to activate...<br /><br />\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bbcode_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_symbol' rowspan='2'>&quot;</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Analyze Skill Activated</em><em><br /></em><em>??? - Lvl 20 Swordsman/Lvl 10 Knight</em>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t</table>\n\t\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br /><br />Wait, <em>KNIGHT!?</em> That was the Class Sawyer originally wanted!<br /><br />What was a knight doing all the way out here as a <em>fisherman</em> of all things? The rabbit had made it sound like becoming a knight was a big deal!<br /><br />``It&#039;s even ruder to stare at someone else Stats, especially when they&#039;re the Master of the home you&#039;re staying at,&#039;&#039; the feline knight replied after noticing the obviously gobsmacked expression on the fox boy.<br /><br />``Ah! I&#039;m sorry!&#039;&#039;<br /><br />The older cat shook his head with a disappointed tut, striding back with his plate of fish in hand to sit where Juliet - Juliana&#039;s mother - had sat before. The female cat had likewise returned with a mug of drink for her husband, placing the basket of fish aside for the moment.<br /><br />His weary, cynical gaze stared at Rennard, making him shirk back as he realized he was being Analyzed in turn - its not like he could complain after he had started it, after all.<br /><br />``Level 10 is quite impressive for a boy your age... And yet you say you&#039;re rather new at this sort of thing, eh?&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Uh...&#039;&#039; Rennard&#039;s eyes flicked, his boyish mind reaching for the first convenient lie that would come to mind beneath the glowering stare from the man that could easily kick his ass.<br /><br />Juliana, meanwhile, puffed out her cheeks, huffing at her father&#039;s attitude before finally speaking. ``Daddy! You&#039;re being <em>meeean~!&#039;&#039;</em><br /><br />``Sorry, I&#039;m new at the whole adventuring thing. I&#039;ve had a bit of experience being a tamer before starting,&#039;&#039; he quickly settled on his lie with as endearing a grin as he could imagine.<br /><br />Whether it was because his deceit was believed, or because of his daughter&#039;s pouting, the tomcat dropped it with a sigh, tutting disparagingly underneath his breath before changing his question. ``Well then, newbie, what brings you all the way out here by yourself?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />...He really should have thought of a cover story before the cat got home. He had been so preoccupied with Juliana, and Juliet had taken him in so readily because of her daughter&#039;s happiness, that he hadn&#039;t thought of how to answer those sorts of questions. He couldn&#039;t rightly say he came for the wyvern contract, that was a Level 20 Quest after all. Should he say he was Sawyer&#039;s apprentice? But the bunny wasn&#039;t with him, and it would reflect poorly upon the lapine if it got out that he had abandoned a charge out in the woods - even if it was his own fault for turning into a werebeast! Chloe, perhaps? He <em>was</em> delivering stuff for her, but they knew Chloe for a while, far longer than he had, so hitching his excuse to that post might just rouse further suspicions...<br /><br />Wait! Kimi said that pilgrims would occasionally come to the shrine she was stuck at originally, right..? What was it called again...<br /><br />``I was coming to do a pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Chosen, actually,&#039;&#039; he eventually replied after several seconds. Fortunately, the cat didn&#039;t seem to mind his hesitation to speak, using it as an excuse to cut the tender fish with his two-pronged fork and devour the piece of meat until then.<br /><br />``Awww, what a devout boy you are! Not many make the trip anymore. I myself haven&#039;t had much time to visit recently... Is Kimi doing well? She seemed quite lonely as its protector.&#039;&#039; Juliet interjected with a smile.<br /><br />Rennard visibly cringed when he discovered that the cat knew about his sister - perhaps that&#039;s why the feral vixen had kept her distance since they discovered the kitten. <br /><br />He wouldn&#039;t get a chance to answer her, however. No sooner had he mentioned the Shrine the mood on Juliana&#039;s father visibly worsened. A scowl spread across his brow, and his lips even twisted back into a silent hiss, whatever biting retort on his lips spared only because of the bite of fish the feline was now angrily swallowing.<br /><br />``Oh yes, how devout indeed, keeping to the tenants of the Goddess responsible for cursing everyone with this maddening plague,&#039;&#039; he finally spat out, his anger seething beneath his fur so hotly that Rennard <em>swore</em> he could feel its warmth through his cloak&#039;s insulating enchantment!<br /><br />``Dear...&#039;&#039; Juliet spoke again, trying to calm down her husband before he grew too irate.<br /><br />Why did he have to pick the worst lie he could have gone for... And why was the tomcat so angry at the Goddess? Did the man believe she was responsible for the Great Emasculation?<br /><br />The wrathful feline&#039;s gaze snapped towards his wife&#039;s direction, his lips already twisted into their next spiteful growl. But, with her pleading stare, he took a long, drawn out breath, closing his eyes as he swallowed his anger. A second later, and they were opened again, staring at the peculiar boy with a stony, stoic expression once more, but Rennard could still see the coals of frustration burning just beneath the visage.<br /><br />``My apologies... So how was the shrine? Has the Chosen finally appeared to finish Her humiliation of us?&#039;&#039; He added with a bitter grumble, gulping down a mouthful of ale as he waited for the reply.<br /><br />``Hunny...&#039;&#039; The soothing woman&#039;s hand pressed against her husband&#039;s shoulder, squeezing against his linen shirt to help soothe his anger, whilst for once Juliana had stayed quiet - albeit pressed against his side as she waited for her father&#039;s anger at the Goddess to subside.<br /><br />``I... Uh...&#039;&#039; He thought for a moment, biting his lip as he considered how to answer, while glad he had decided to try and hide his identity considering the reaction he was having.<br /><br />``Well, Kimi was the only one there when I finally found it,&#039;&#039; he answered with a truth that he hoped would serve as an answer. His tail swished shyly along the floor as another thought came to him, even if he thought it was a bad idea and could arouse the older cat&#039;s hatred more, he decided to go with it, hoping it would either move the topic away from the Chosen&#039;s arrival, or at least make his excuse more believable. ``A shame, I guess! I was kinda hoping that the Goddess would pick me to be her Chosen after I reached it..!&#039;&#039;<br /><br />He smiled as bashfully as he could, anxious that the lie would be seen, or that his prickling of the cat&#039;s temper would go too far... But, to his surprise, while it did draw a scoffing retort from the feline, it seemed to <em>soothe</em> his spirits.<br /><br />``If only it could be that easy... Gods have mercy, you wouldn&#039;t even know what you&#039;ve been denied thanks to Her folly...&#039;&#039;<br /><br />`Gods&#039;? Rennard&#039;s ear perked. Mostly everyone else had just referred to the Goddess - singular. Then again, he seemed to have hated her, so perhaps he went for some other generic term to avoid invoking her title in particular.<br /><br />The feline shook his head again, sighing as he began to relax at last, resting his weight on one arm, whilst the other continued to shovel food into his mouth between his words. ``This entire world is on its way to the Abyss. Demons invading, kingdoms falling into disorder... Even the wilds are slowly dying. Every year my catch grows sparser and sparser... It&#039;s only a matter of time now before even a river the size of ours becomes unable to support even a small family like ours...&#039;&#039;<br /><br />Rennard&#039;s tail twitched. It surely couldn&#039;t be getting <em>that</em> bad anytime soon, right..? The Goddess was still spawning more creatures!<br /><br />But... If the man&#039;s attitude was shared by more people than he realized, perhaps the Goddess&#039; power truly was lacking to maintain the world without his intervention...<br /><br />``Sorry, I let my temper get the better of me, kid. My name is Roman, yours?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Oh! Rennard,&#039;&#039; he replied without thinking.<br /><br />Juliet&#039;s lips pursed, her tongue flicking against the side of her mouth... Did she recognize his name..? Wait, what if Kimi mentioned him in passing during one of her visits!?<br /><br />Fortunately, it looks like she abandoned trying to recall where she heard the name from before recalling, considering the small, silent shrug she gave before collecting his and Juliana&#039;s plates as her husband finished his serving.<br /><br />``Rennard, right... Thank you for helping out my daughter, and for keeping her company while I was working,&#039;&#039; Roman replied with the faintest hint of a smile upon his lips.<br /><br />His change in attitude resonated well with the girl, who beamed from ear to ear against his cheek with his apparent acceptance.<br /><br />``It warms my heart to see her finally get to play with a friend. You&#039;re welcome to stay the night. I take it you&#039;re returning to Carran in the morn?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``That&#039;s right,&#039;&#039; he answered, not bothering to explain that it would be his first time visiting, not a `return&#039; to avoid further questions.<br /><br />``It&#039;s at least a couple of days? walk from here, do you have enough provisions?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Uh... No... I ran out of food this morning... I was planning on trying to forage and fish on my way back...&#039;&#039; He admitted, silently breathing a prayer of gratitude that he wasn&#039;t the one to bring up needing food.<br /><br />His predicament still made Roman&#039;s face settle into a display of contempt, however. ``Honestly... Lack of etiquette, setting out on such a long journey without enough food... What has the Guild come to nowadays if this is how they&#039;re teaching the youth?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``We should have something we can spare to at least fill your belly tomorrow,&#039;&#039; he finally offered while finishing up his meal.<br /><br />``Ah! That&#039;s more than generous, thank you!&#039;&#039; Rennard chirped in reply.<br /><br />``Daaaddy~&#039;&#039; Juliana spoke again, diverting her old man&#039;s attention back to her at last as she did so.<br /><br />``What is it, Julie?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Can I `scratch&#039; with Rennard tonight instead of Mom?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />Rennard&#039;s ears flushed a vivid scarlet, flicking back against his scalp while his eyes went wide in horror. His blue eyes turned towards Juliana who seemed to be filled with hope and excitement, and to Roman&#039;s whose scowl spoke truer than any words could have.<br /><br />Thank the Goddess shotguns didn&#039;t exist, not that he pictured being run out of the house by a spear or sword was that much better.<br /><br />``No.&#039;&#039; The grumpy cat&#039;s firm retort was immediate, making the girl pout whilst Juliet giggled from the corner of the room.<br /><br /><div class='align_center'>* * *</div><br /><br />Rennard&#039;s immediate guess about what `scratch&#039; meant had been true... To scratch their `heat&#039;.<br /><br />Juliana&#039;s need was the most vivid to Rennard&#039;s nose, considering how much the young girl clung to him, but his keen nostrils could still suss out the two older feline&#039;s need beneath hers as well.<br /><br />Her lust had grown desperate enough that Juliet had escorted her away, despite her clinging protests to the boy she wanted to `scratch&#039; her need instead, acquiescing to her parents? reminder that such things weren&#039;t appropriate with a boy until they were married. With her removal, both Rennard and Roman breathed a sigh of relief, with Rennard looking as apologetic as he possibly could.<br /><br />He used the manners his parents had drilled into him as an excuse to move the conversation on, offering to help clean up as thanks for the dinner they had shared with him. Roman refused, believing it was only good manners to take care of a guest, but after mentioning how he needed to go prepare to preserve the fish he had just caught, Rennard instead pivoted to ask to watch - after all, it removed him from the house while the two girls `scratched&#039; themselves, and offered an opportunity for him to pick up some more survival skills!<br /><br />Roman seemed conflicted about it at first but... After a second, he agreed, picking up his catch and escorting the boy outside to where an open shed was, complete with a high wooden bench soaked from many years of use.<br /><br />`Would preparing fish like this still be considered butchering?&#039; The boy thought silently, as his gleaming blue eyes observed every detail as the cat worked - old memories of his father taking him and Kaldric on a fishing trip years ago surfacing in his mind as he did so.<br /><br />Roman, fortunately, made certain to go slow, explaining the process thoroughly as he did so. Rennard even started to think that he was enjoying the chance to teach him considering his mood seemed to have improved since they started.<br /><br />After showing him a few times, the older cat offered one of the smaller fish to him to try. Without thinking, Rennard pulled out the knife he had been given instead of asking for Roman&#039;s, holding the fish in his left as he moved to begin.<br /><br />``That&#039;s a kobold knife, isn&#039;t it?&#039;&#039; The knight remarked, making Rennard freeze in place once again.<br /><br />``Ah, yeah! ...One of my first encounters was with a bunch of kobolds, so it&#039;s sorta a... trophy I guess?&#039;&#039; He answered with a half-truth once more.<br /><br />The man chuckled, his grumpy expression softening with a small smile as he answered. ``Well, it fortunately fits comfortably enough in your hands it seems. Those lizards can be no end of trouble...&#039;&#039;<br /><br />Rennard relaxed as Roman shared a few tales from his younger years, about how he and some of his men had to chase some kobolds out of an old mine once - and the zany antics that followed, up to and including the entire squad having to flee for their lives after the tiny monsters sent a barrel full of stones rolling down a mineshaft towards them!<br /><br />After beheading and removing the inedible guts from a few of the fish for practice - including the eggs which they put aside since they were edible, despite Rennard&#039;s overt disgust at the idea - Roman explained a few of the methods they used to store or prepare them. These ones they would store in salt, packing where the guts had been with the substance to preserve them. Short of having that, he explained how Rennard could try taking a hand at smoking them if he needed, giving an overview of the technique of cutting thin streaks of meat and tying them above a fire. Of course, there were many other ways to store fish, but those were the two most useful for a traveler like him, or so the adult cat believed.<br /><br />After finishing `helping&#039; - or rather, being taught - Rennard left the older cat to clean up while he washed his hands in the river, as well as glanced around to see if he could spot his sister. After a minute, the older fox revealed herself, staring at him from the woods with an idly amused expression. After the boy glanced back at the house to see that Roman had gone back inside, he reached into his backpack, pulling out some of the fish Juliet had cooked which he had discretely hidden into his bowel and leaving it out for her to collect.<br /><br />`Sorry I couldn&#039;t save you more, sis!&#039; He mouthed to her, unable to project a whisper to her after having burnt through his Mana practicing with Juliana.<br /><br />He wasn&#039;t certain if his offering of cooling fish would be enough to avoid her teasing when they met up in the morning. But, if it wasn&#039;t, perhaps he could tease back with how much his little heist felt like trying to feed scraps to the dog behind their mother&#039;s back...<br /><br />He returned to the cat&#039;s house a moment later, just in time to hear Juliana&#039;s groan of pleasure from behind the half closed door to their pantry.<br /><br />Rennard gulped, lacking in the discipline to stop himself from looking over to the room, partially spotting the two cats through the gap left open by the door. They had both stripped out of their dresses, the young, ten-year-old kitten sitting in her mother&#039;s lap, panting as her small hands squeezed tight to the arm squeezed around her, while Juliet&#039;s other hand... Well, with their backs turned towards him, he couldn&#039;t tell <em>exactly</em> what was going on, but with the repetitive motion that the woman&#039;s shoulder was doing, and what Sawyer had told him before, he could fill in the rest...<br /><br />``Another one of the Goddess&#039; little humiliations...&#039;&#039; Roman drew his attention away with the bitter grumble, once again making the fox boy display a look of apologetic bashfulness to the man, but any attempt to apologize was interrupted by the older cat&#039;s next words. ``Its not your fault. The potions can only do so much... Yes, they take off the worst of the heat, but it&#039;s persistent...&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Juliana started her heats when she was six, I imagine it was similar for you and the other children in town,&#039;&#039; he explained, sipping from another mug of ale he had fetched. Rennard didn&#039;t confirm or deny, merely nodding along as he came to sit opposite of the grouchy feline.<br /><br />``You&#039;d think She&#039;d at least spare children from having to suffer, but...&#039;&#039; The cat continued before catching himself, dragging in a deep, long breath to calm down before he flew off the handle again.<br /><br />``Is it always this bad?&#039;&#039; Rennard asked, trying to garner an understanding for what the town would be like when he arrived.<br /><br />``No, we&#039;re fortunate that Chloe lives nearby enough. Tonight is particularly bad though... Perhaps the slimes got a hold of her for a while before you rescued her,&#039;&#039; he answered back with a shrug, letting the silence punctuated by the quiet, tender whimpers of the girl in the other room slowly fill the space to make the break in the conversation even more awkward.<br /><br />``Well... It&#039;s not proper, but if you need help,&#039;&#039; the cat scowled as he offered, clearly biting back his resentment as he did so.<br /><br />``Oh, uh, no! I&#039;m good! I recently just visited Chloe after all, so I&#039;m all... Well yeah!&#039;&#039; He answered, trying to pivot, even though the adult could likely see through his dismissal with but a glance. Even if Roman couldn&#039;t see his Arousal bar, the fluster and idle squirms of a lad that had been subjected to their aromatic callings for <em>hours</em> had been taxing his willpower for hours. Even now, as they stood there, his snout was idly drifting back towards the half-open door, struggling to keep himself from imagining how much more delighted their noises would be if he was involved...<br /><br />``Hmmph... Can&#039;t blame you for trying to hold onto your pride at least,&#039;&#039; he shot back with what appeared to be an understanding smile.<br /><br /><div class='align_center'>* * *</div><br /><br />The next hour had been almost <em>painful</em> for the young, strapping, and oh so achingly erect fox boy. The only relief was how quickly the feline family had settled in for the night after dinner. No sooner had Juliana and Juliet returned from the pantry than the lamp was extinguished to preserve their oil and the lot of them settled in for bed. The couple took their usual spot at one side of the house, whilst Juliana was adamant to want to sleep next to Rennard, leaving the kit absolutely <em>tormented </em>as he laid there, the cause of his constant announcement of Arousal checks tucked happily against his shoulder, doing everything he could to not just start <em>stroking</em> right there and then...<br /><br /><em>Especially</em> since Roman and Juliet took a bit longer than their daughter to fall asleep... `Scratching&#039; each other&#039;s needs while he lay there pretending to sleep less than ten feet away.<br /><br />`Goddess preserve me,&#039; he silently prayed, clenching his toes and gritting his teeth as he tried to ignore his <em>need.</em> The <em>instant</em> the couple was asleep, he was going to charge out and <em>fuck</em> Kimi for Goddess knows how long after the torment he had gone through today!<br /><br />But... Would that be the best way to go about things... Was he getting everything he could out of this quest?<br /><br />\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bbcode_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_symbol' rowspan='2'>&quot;</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Quest: The Salty Fisherman</em><em><br /></em><em>Objective: Deliver the Four Heat Relief potions to the fisher family further downriver. </em>?<em><br /></em><em>Bonus: [???]</em><em><br /></em><em>Bonus: [???]</em><em><br /></em><em>Bonus: [???]</em>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t</table>\n\t\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br /><br />He had handed over the potions, but hadn&#039;t yet `thought&#039; about completing the quest just yet, not until he had finished those Bonus objectives. He had originally thought it would require him to breed all three, but considering how Roman reacted, perhaps he was wrong..? A Bonus objective should have made the quest more rewarding, and he doubted revealing himself as the Chosen to the old cat would have made him more amiable... Perhaps it needed him to <em>not</em> reveal himself here...<br /><br />His mind wandered idly as he listened to the two adult cats wind down from their `relief&#039;, trying to sort out what the other two objectives might be if that was the case... Perhaps he needed to breed Juliana without the other two being aware... Or...<br /><br />He remembered how Roman had talked about the fish growing less and less numerous with every passing year, swiftly followed by the encounter he had had with the Dryads!<br /><br />That&#039;s right, <em>all</em> living creatures were unable to reproduce naturally anymore... From plants, to people... Which meant...<br /><br />His face visibly scowled. Was he going to need to fuck a <em>fish!?</em><br /><br />He couldn&#039;t!<br /><br />Was it even physically possible!?<br /><br />How would he even go about it... just lay his cock out in the water and hope they came over? Did fish even <em>have</em> holes he could fuck?<br /><br />The physics of it all made him silently groan, not wishing to think of it further, but...<br /><br />He needed to, right? If he didn&#039;t, the fish would go extinct here, their family could starve, or turn into refugees...<br /><br />Rennard&#039;s ear perked up, listening to the two adult&#039;s steady, even breaths. It looked like they were finally asleep. With a steadying breath, the boy slowly removed himself from the kitten&#039;s clinging arms, soothing her unconscious whimpers with a pat to the head, before stepping back outside. If he was caught, he could always just say he was relieving himself, after all.<br /><br />In a way, he was...<br /><br />Walking over towards where he had last seen Kimi, he spotted the now empty bowl first, before seeing the snoozing vixen next to it. His purposeful, strident steps awoke her before he reached her, her eyes fluttering open to see her brother&#039;s desperate hands already start to unfasten his cloak to expose his trapped, pulsating foxhood long hidden beneath it, before flicking up to spy an expression that nearly rivaled his rut-mad stares.<br /><br />``Hold on now, aren&#039;t we a bit too close~? You could be discovered, especially if we get a bit... noisy~&#039;&#039; Kimi giggled, stepping up to trot away to torment the needy cub.<br /><br />``C&#039;mon... Please!? I even brought you food,&#039;&#039; he groaned quietly, lacking the mental fortitude to argue further as he flopped onto the ground next to her. If he wasn&#039;t going to get to fuck her, he was at least going to paw then, unstrapping the belts which had restrained his mighty eight-plus inches of virility against his pre-matted belly.<br /><br />The mess he was about to make...<br /><br />``Actually,&#039;&#039; he mused, his hand stopping just shy from his quivering prick, knowing the second his hand started to sweep along the glossy, pre-glazed rod he wasn&#039;t going to stop until he was finished. ``Do you know how baby fish are made, Kimi?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />The aloof, tormenting smile she had been giving him disappeared in a moment, replaced with a dumbfounded stare as she canted her head to one direction. ``Do they not show the Magic Schoolbus in Science classes anymore...?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``What does that have to do with anything...?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />``Nevermind.&#039;&#039; She shook her head, clearing her mind of <em>that</em> particular memory as she did so. ``Well, not certain if its all fish, but you don&#039;t have to fuck one, don&#039;t worry. Female fish lay their eggs for the males to fertilize afterwards I think. So if you want to make a bunch of baby fish...&#039;&#039; She replied, pausing for a second as she contemplated with a hum. ``So I guess you&#039;d just... fap across the eggs after?&#039;&#039;<br /><br />Rennard scowled again, recalling the lot of eggs he and Roman had collected from the fish earlier... Those wouldn&#039;t be any good now, he imagined, not after their `mothers&#039; had been dead for so long, if they were even ready at all - not to mention he couldn&#039;t quite bring himself to steal their food and fap over it like some degenerate, even if he did plan to throw them back into the river afterwards.<br /><br />Should he just climax into the river, then..? Would his ungodly Impregnation Chance take care of things from there? It had to be more fine tuned than that, right? It&#039;s not like him just painting the soil with his seed caused all the plants nearby to be fertilized.<br /><br />But, fortunately, he did have the tool to answer that question...<br /><br />Putting aside his desire to get off a bit longer, he rolled back onto his feet, reaching out a hand into the air as he focused.<br /><br />`Where is the best place to fertilize fish eggs within an hour&#039;s walk...&#039;<br /><br />Earlier testing of his Guidance miracle had allowed him to realize he could ask more than just for the `nearest&#039; example, important since the nearest could be out of reach! He had also discovered that while an impossible search, such as for any kobolds within a short distance, would use up a use but wouldn&#039;t create the direction.<br /><br />It was incredibly easy to abuse with just the right phrasing, Rennard thought with a smug grin as the ethereal blue glow of his Miracle extended from his hand, stretching to the river before forking upstream. He could, for example, ask if there were any dangerous animals within x range and get a yes or no answer!<br /><br />Sure, it was limited in its uses per day still, but maybe he had finally found something he could consider a `cheat&#039;, or perhaps it was just an <em>incredibly</em> useful Miracle that any priest could know... Well, more questions for the Church when he got there.<br /><br />For now, he followed the illusory directions for seconds that they lasted, Kimi walking alongside next to him. Considering he specified `within an hour&#039;, and had four more uses of it left, he could use it roughly every twenty or so minutes and save one to iron down the location when he was sure, although it was best to use it when he was conflicted in which direction to go...<br /><br />Which happened some minutes after the search started and they came across a stream which bled into the river. Under Kimi&#039;s direction, he used his miracle again, and true enough, it directed them up the smaller waterway. A few more minutes of idle chatter and walking later, the boy&#039;s exposed, half-erect prick swaying with every step, they seemed to reach the location his Guidance was directing them too...<br /><br />With Kimi helpfully providing light with her Fox Fire, Rennard took a breath and used the Miracle once more, following its direction as it led him to the shallow side of the stream. Taking off his sword, belts, and cloak, he waded in, trying to ignore the fact that his target this particular lurid deed would be targeted towards the piscine... He was just taking care of all that arousal he had been building up while half submerged in a slow moving stream, ignoring any slippery sensations against his feet that might have been his quarry.<br /><br />\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bbcode_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_symbol' rowspan='2'>&quot;</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Spirit Check Failed.</em><em><br /></em><em>Effect Activated: A Chosen&#039;s Duty</em><em><br /></em><em>9/20</em>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t</table>\n\t\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br /><br />At least there <em>were</em> fish here... Bashfully investigating the creature which had disturbed their latest attempt at unrequited spawning. That was a good thing for his odds of success...<br /><br />He took a long, deep breath to steady himself, standing deep enough into the water that the stream&#039;s cool surface was tickling against his ample nuts. It didn&#039;t take his Arousal bar long to begin swelling again... He had plenty of ammunition to get his boyhood cooperating, picturing the various states he had seen Juliana in over the day, the fantasies he had pushed to the side...<br /><br />His tool was almost at its full extent even before he started stroking. His ears flicked against the back of his scalp, huffing quietly into the night while Kimi watched from dry land. His small fingers wrapped around his tapered point, sliding along the pre-slick meat with growing familiarity, recalling those sweet whimpers from the kitten he had overheard, and combined them with the vivid impression he had of her on her back, spread out underneath him <em>waiting</em> for his `assistance&#039;.<br /><br />It didn&#039;t take long at all for that to get his knot swelling from his sheath, huffing as his toes dug through the gravel beneath him whilst his tail lay floated along the stream&#039;s surface. His hips began to roll with every sweep of his right hand, leaving Rennard awkwardly attempting to keep his balance with nothing to hold onto as he drew closer and closer towards his release.<br /><br />\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bbcode_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_symbol' rowspan='2'>&quot;</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Effect Activated: A Chosen&#039;s Duty</em><br /><em>Effect Activated: A Chosen&#039;s Duty</em><br /><em>Effect Activated: A Chosen&#039;s Duty</em><br /><em>Effect Activated: A Chosen&#039;s Duty</em>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t</table>\n\t\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br /><br />The beads of pre trickling down from his prick to fall into the water seemed to be attracting the fish closer, a good number of the large animals flicking and contorting this way and that around his ankles, practically pushing each other out of the way to try and get closer towards the first hint of virility they had ever discovered - and each new egg-carrying piscine coaxing his Arousal bar higher that much faster with an additional stack of the Status.<br /><br />Who knows, when his Impregnation Chance grew higher in the future, perhaps that would be all he needed to perform this deed going forward... But for now, he had a few more notches of Arousal to work himself towards, and more than enough<em> </em>`fertile ammunition&#039; to reach it.<br /><br />He gripped his rod with both hands, working over his meat in concert - his left kneading around his swelling knot, whilst the right continued to pump along the main girth, taking advantage of the techniques Lyca had used that morning to better pleasure himself as well. His tail flicked up from the surface of the water, exciting a salmon enough to jump after it before it crashed back down to join the breeding frenzy at his feet. All while he tried not to picture the lurid sight he made, `fishing&#039; with a far more depraved rod, and oh so visible beneath the waning gibbous moon to his sister&#039;s eyes...<br /><br />\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bbcode_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_symbol' rowspan='2'>&quot;</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Arousal 20/20!</em><em><br /></em><em>Enduring Lover activated!</em>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t</table>\n\t\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br /><br />Fortunately, with a few more pumping strokes, his ordeal was finally done!

Again and again, coaxed on as long as he could manage with his still kneading grip as he pictured himself making the kitten a mother, ignoring how his thick cream dispersed into the water at his feet as a milky-white cloud of virility...<br /><br />\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bbcode_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_symbol' rowspan='2'>&quot;</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Experience Acquired!</em>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t</table>\n\t\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br /><br />He breathed a sigh of relief, happy that at least the depraved act he had just performed was not for nought, even if it did come with the large fish writhing at his feet releasing... something against his feet that made him awkwardly shift back, even as his last few ropes of cum continued to pour forth - <br /><br />\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bbcode_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_symbol' rowspan='2'>&quot;</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Experience Acquired!</em><em><br /></em><em>Experience Acquired!</em><em><br /></em><em>Experience Acquired!</em>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t</table>\n\t\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br /><br />Wait...<br /><br />\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bbcode_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_symbol' rowspan='2'>&quot;</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Experience Acquired!</em><em><br /></em><em>Experience Acquired!</em><em><br /></em><em>Experience Acquired!</em><em><br /></em><em>Experience Acquired!</em><em><br /></em><em>Experience Acquired!</em><em><br /></em><em>Experience Acquired!</em>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t</table>\n\t\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br /><br />Ow his ears!<br /><br />\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='bbcode_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_symbol' rowspan='2'>&quot;</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<td class='bbcode_quote_quote'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em>Level Up!

Every twitch, every idle flex of the recently spent, but still rock hard length coaxing that tip slightly farther than before, until his prick grew a good third of an inch fatter, and his balls a tenth of an inch wider, in one go.<br /><br />How she wished she could have felt <em>that</em> growth spurt inside of her...<br /><br />``Huff... Huff...&#039;&#039; Rennard whined, flopping back to leave his Leveled Up monster twitch hotly in the evening air, slowly collecting himself as his afterglow faded. Despite his Enduring Lover proccing, with all the anticipation he had built up over the day, that climax had brought an equally pronounced fugue. <br /><br />``There&#039;s no way... That that was worth that much Experience... Right?&#039;&#039; He spoke, flicking towards his Character Sheet... There was no lying about his new Level though, skipping right past 11 and hitting his next Feat slot already! He glanced towards his Bestiary... And sure enough, there was the salmon he had just had the privilege of helping save from extinction... and another couple too? He supposed it took him long enough to masturbate that his pre had attracted all the nearby spawning aquatic species, a shame that they didn&#039;t count for his Bonus Objectives, but at least he had earned the first time bonus for each, helping to explain his obscene returns...<br /><br />His jaw fell when he brought up his Conquest Log.

No, that didn&#039;t seem right... Just how many eggs <em>did</em> those fish expose?<br /><br />A giggle welled up in Rennard&#039;s chest. No wonder he had leveled up twice! If those eggs were even worth a single measly Experience apiece, he would have gained at least 50,000! Although, he couldn&#039;t be sure if an entire Level 11 Experience bar was that high, or if he had gained only a fraction for each egg... It amounted the same in the end, sweet, glorious Stats~<br /><br />It might take a few years for them to mature, but...
