All The Small Things
By Bartan Tirix

Note: The first half or so of this story will shift from in-game and out-of-game scenes occasionally. If you see a series of +++++, it means the story is transitioning in-game, while a series of ------ means it's coming back out. Think of it like a zoom-in and zoom-out on a camera.

    The steady crunch underneath his steps were nearly hypnotic, getting the Glider in this steady trance as he continued down the path of the snowy sidewalk. Bundled up and trying to keep his body from shivering so violently, the dragon knew that this wasn't his natural climate. That much was obvious, but it would be just so easy to blame the shaking on the cold.
    Yes... It would. Truth be told, he was nervous about the whole thing. Walking in the dark, a suburban neighborhood he was unfamiliar with. Let alone where he was heading to, keeping an eye on the numbers close to each driveway, some of them were plaqued onto the very buildings themselves. 899 was the number he was told over text, hoping it wasn't a mistake of some sort.
    It should be soon though, wincing and shielding himself from a small breeze that held a terrible power against the tropical lizard. Daegan's been in a lot of places in the past years, but this one was by far the worst. "Some creatures are just not built for the cold." He was warned, but really didn't want to trouble her for a ride, especially when she was hosting the session.
    Walking past a large hedge-like fence came a brilliant light from a window, actually spotting the orange feline that the voice in his head belonged to. Sitting along a table with a few others, and once again his anxiety resurfaced. Wishing to just go back to walking through the eternal white abyss instead of dealing with the pain of socializing.
    But he promised her... Warned her that he would be late, but Dae did promise that he would try. Walking up the driveway path, and seeing the tabby cat wave happily at him from the window. Getting up and disappearing from view as he made his way to the front door, and like magic she appeared on the other side. Opening the gateway to the home as it greeted the exotic dragon with a comforting warmth. "You made it!" She nearly chirped, urging him inside.
    "Y-yeah, I mentioned I was going to be late in my last text-" He started to explain, tapping the extra snow off his shoes before getting pulled inside by the much smaller feline and feeling his head get pressed up against her fluffy cleavage. Releasing a sharp whimper.
    "And you're freezing! You went out without a muzzlewarmer? I warned you that your body wasn't going to-" Daegan's prolonged whimper made her giggle, keeping his head nearly locked against her chest while her winter fur coat helped him warm up... Along with her thin buttoned sweater and his heated breaths. Only letting go when he started to struggle. "Feel better?"
    "S-surprisingly yes." The glider whined, unable to hold back on his blush. Although it was... Actually helping him warm up faster as she began patting him down. "E-easy, Ray."
    "This was the warmest thing you had on you?"
    "W-well, this is my first time being up in the north, and I haven't really had the time or money to go shopping for..." He trailed off when the feline nudged him to take a seat, undressing his footwear and shaking her head at the very 'Summer-y' shoe design. Then whimpering a bit louder when she sat on his lap and gave him a hug, pressing her fluffy body up against his middle, but holding the orange one with his tanned arms. Sheltering her with the wing membranes that were attached as his body desperately attempted to absorb her warmth. "T-thank you..."
    "Dumbass." Ray giggled, nuzzling under his neck. Releasing a soft purr from each other's throats. "Let me guess, you didn't realize how cold the night became?"
    "Not in the slightest..." Dae admitted, still shivering but it was slowing down. "Everywhere else it was fine, but..."
    "Let's hope you didn't do any damage to your membranes or ears. Feel any pains anywhere? Frostbite isn't anything to scoff at."
    "N-no, I'm... Better now." His voice nearly cracked when she shifted, wondering if the feline could detect just how hard he was getting with her resting nearly on top of it.
    "What about a ride home? Did you manage...?" Another whimper answered her, getting Ray to gaze at his shy 'unworthy' look and immediately know what he was thinking. 'I didn't want to pester anyone to come pick me up in the dark, let alone in the snow.' Making her ears spade and nearly growl at him. "You're staying here tonight."
    "W-what!?" He whispered in surprise.
    "You heard me. No one should be walking out in that, especially undergeared." She demanded. "My roommate is out for the night anyway, had a date with his boyfriend. Meaning we've got the place to ourselves after." She purred in a whisper as well. "Which is good, because I have a surprise for youuu..." A very deep blush from the dragon as he stumbled on his words. Then nearly froze up completely when he spotted an otter come around the corner, gaze at the two, and awe at them.
    "Isn't that just cute." She nearly cooed at them.
    "This idiot walked here without a coat, boots, and a muzzlewarmer."
    "He does know it's like -25C out, right?"
    "Yes, and if he were living here, he would put some money in the Dumbass Jar. Wouldn't you Dae?" The tabby teased him, only making him blush deeper before her attention returned to the otter. "Ready to get back in?"
    "Yeah, we're just waiting on you two. Is he joining?"
    "W-well-"
    "Yes, he is." Ray answered for him, once again making the glider want to nearly hide himself. "I let him know ahead of time and I thiiiiink he got his character done?" The feline looked at Daegan for an answer, who shifted back and forth between the otter and cat.
    "Y-yeah. I made a Bard, if that's okay."
    "Perfect, the group needs a support character. Even got all your spells and such?"
    "Yes, and made my attack deck already." A large nod in understanding from the sea mammal as her gaze shifted to the orange one.
    "Thaaat's why your deck looks lower than usual."
    "Yeah, he didn't have the cash for his own, so I lent him a third of my pack. A few cards might be outdated, but we'll convert if we spot them." A nod from the otter as she moved on to the kitchen area, getting Dae to share a questionable look with his feline girlfriend. "Nona is our GM." One of his frilled ears perked. "Game Master."
    "I-I know what it is, but I thought you were..." A shrug from the feline.
    "I'm just the host. Everyone else either lacks the space, has family to deal with, or disruptive neighbors." The glider silently mouthed the last one in question, getting another shrug within the embrace. "Some guy parked his car on the porch. Drunken accident. No one was hurt at least. But you went with Bard?"
    "Y-yeah. Reading the rules for Wizard... It was a little too confusing."
    "They're more for experienced players."
    "Well... This isn't my first Tabletop, so I thought..." He trailed off, taking a breath as she continued to hold him.
    "You're still shaking." Ray mumbled under her purrs, feeling the larger one nod. "It's not the shivers. Are you nervous?"
    "I've never been good at socializing, especially when it comes to these games."
    "Well don't worry yourself, the girls here are nice."
    "W-wait... They're all girls?" He whimpered, trying to keep it down a bit but heard some giggling around the corner.
    "Yep! And now you have a reason to be more embarrassed- but don't be. We're all here to have fun." A quiet whining sigh left him, but the dragon nodded. Finally feeling the tabby get up, prying out of his stiff embrace and giving the male a little smooch on the snout. "Come. I want you to meet my group and have some fun tonight, then you'll get a surprise when they're gone."
    "A surprise?" The otter reappeared, making the glider yelp and fall out of his chair. "What kind of surprise, Ray?"
    "A special kind of surprise- but no prying!" The cat shifted a finger between the two. "From either of you!" A sly smirk from the dark brown sea mammal as she returned to the table. "Come, we played a little while waiting for you, but we're in the perfect spot to introduce your character."
    "I-if you say so..." Daegan took a breath before getting up. Shaking himself off and taking the single strap sack off his back. Following the feline into the next room, but not without being slightly hypnotized by her tail. Snapping out of it and taking a deep breath before passing through the doorway.
    Within the dining room was a large table, one occupied by plenty of papers, books, snacks and a large foldable screen that was hiding what the Otter possessed. A typical Game Master fashion as the other players gave a quick wave while drinking and eating some sliced fruits from a tray. "So, this is Ray's new BF?"
    "I told you he was cute." A gray feline nudged a goat, instantly getting the dragon to blush and catch the whimper in his throat.
    "H-hey, I'm Daegan." He awkwardly said, sitting down in a nearby chair and pulling out several items. Dice, a small stack of cards, and a few papers for his character sheet. One the otter spotted and gestured to look them over before they began. Setting his little area up while Ray motioned the others one by one.
    "You already know Celeste," A hand towards the gray cat. "This is Tiao," The white goat that time, giving him a shy wave. "and our GM: Nona." The otter just released a noise in confirmation as she looked over the dragon's character sheet. Ending with a very questionable look that shifted to the only male in the room, making his ears fall and shyly lower his head.
    "Really...?" Nona half grumbled.
    "Yes, really. Consider it my Dorkly Point for the session." Ray answered for him, getting a puzzled look from the Glider while the goat got his attention to explain.
    "We're allowed to do one cringy or dumb thing per session when Nona's GMing, but she gets to call us-"
    "You're a dork." The otter grumbled, handing him back the papers and shaking her head. "I better not regret this."
    "It's not that cringy, is it?"
    "What are you even talking about-?" The river mammal held up a paw to interrupt Celeste.
    "You'll see it when we get started, but we don't have too much longer. I want to at least get to a certain point, so let's continue. All set?" The players nodded and Nona took a deep breath. "Alright, the scene is..."

++++++

    The pub was busy that morning, nearly packed with travelers that were passing through. Leaving the doorway opened almost full time as the summer ocean air eased in, and gently floated to the far windows. Completely closing off all views of the nearby beach the small harbor was built around.
    Inside was loud, but organized as the breakfast orders were being delivered and waited upon. One specifically large plate went to a center round table, as the guests made room for the waitress. A table occupied with a large white goat in half plate armor, donned and ready for adventuring. An orange tabby that was doing maintenance on her shortbow's string. And a gray -mouse?

-------

    "Wait, you're a mouse?" The dragon double taked at Celeste; the gray feline. "I thought we were going to keep things simple."
    "Yeah, but we tried that in a previous game: having two cats was kind of hard to keep track of on the board, because the Cat Miniatures look too identical." The otter explained.
    "Besides, Celeste has a crush on rats and mice-"
    "I do not!" The rest of the group looked at the gray one, seeing her lowering ears blush deeply. "...It's that obvious, isn't it?"

++++++

    ...A gray mouse, trying her best to memorize the map of the area. Each of them all taking a portion of their ordered meal and thanking the waitress. One who gave the goat a flirty wink, of course being noticed by the other two who looked at Gotia in question. "...So that's where you were last night." The rodent half grumbled, now realizing that her fries were unsalted. Passing the map back to the ranger and watching her put it away safely in a nearby pack. "We lost sight of you after that drinking competition, as per usual."
    "Being big and plush has its advantages with the females, like I told you-"
    "In like every town we've been in." Catara the cat chimed in. "I guess that does make a pattern, Malise." Another grumble from the mouse.
    "My offer of giving you a massage still stands." The goat nearly purred at the small rogue, loving how flustered she was getting in response. "If you ever need a warmer blanket-"
    "C-can we just focus on the mission, please?" Malise nearly whimpered, getting the other two to chuckle. "...And pass the salt?" Gotia did so, without any tease. "I'm honestly a little worried about it."
    "The salt-?"
    "The heist-" The feline started, instantly getting a sharp shhh from the rogue.
    "Don't say it out loud!" She whispered in a hiss. "Let alone describe it like that! Last thing we need is for people to get the wrong idea."
    "You're too worried, nobody here is listening to us. Including Gotia." Catara gestured the largest one of the group; the goat looking over another female in the distance. "Hey! Stop thinking about my species for a minute, okay?" A puzzled look from the other two. "...Pussycat." She explained the joke.
    "That was a bit of a stretch-"
    "I know, but that's all I had." The ranger lowered her head shyly while the other two chuckled. "So, what? You want to hire an extra body?"
    "It wouldn't hurt. But who?" The large white one asked, and right on cue the doorway leading outside opened in their view. Enter an...

------

    The otter froze for a moment, then turned to Daegan. "...I completely forgot to look at your character details."
    "I-it's nothing special-"
    "Wait... Let me guess: Tall? Exotic main color? Black hair/mane? Green eyes?" A stare in question from the dragon.
    "A-average height, pink eyes, white manes are pretty normal for that species, but are blue scales exotic?" A blank stare from Nona.
    "...So this isn't your first character ever-"
    "It is not, no. It's just been a while since I played a Tabletop RPG."
    "Wait..." The goat stopped the conversation. "White hair, blue scales... Pink eyes? Isn't that NeonHowl?"
    "Who?"
    "From- U-uh..." The white one suddenly turned a bright red in blush. "N-nothing, nevermind." The other players suddenly made the connection while the Otter just looked at them all in confusion.
    "...Dare I ask?"
    "Bad Dergon forums." Ray admitted, getting the others to whimper.
    "Bad Dergon- wait. The sex site?" Very awkward whimpers from the others. "...His boyfriend is super hot-"
    "I know, right?"
    "Suuuuuper hot...!"

++++++

    The blue dragon walks into the doorway, standing out from the crowd but not making a scene. Instead, heading to find a seat by the bar only to realize it was all filled up. Looking about while the orange cat leaned towards the others. "Someone like him?"
    "He is a cutie." The goat smirked, and the mouse nodded in agreement. Causing Catara to wave and get the attention of the blue male, opening a chair and inviting him into the table.
    "Howdy, and thanks for the seat ladies." The dragon gave a small wave while taking off his sack with some parchment hanging out of it, and a large burnt club of sorts. One half designed like that of an awkward... Axe? "Quite busy this morning, eh? Heard the town had a bit of a party going on the night before."
    "It was pretty wild." The white goat claimed, nearly undressing the handsome male with her blue gaze. "We can get caught up later, if you like-"
    "Down, girl. Before I get a bucket of cold water." The mouse grumbled, sliding over her plate and offering it to the male. "Are you a traveler? We're on a mission of sorts and we could use some help."
    "Like, directions?" The blue one asked, taking a sample of the platter.
    "Yeahhh." The ranger mumbled awkwardly. "I'm fluent in navigation in terms of finding information in the wild, but I've never been too great at reading maps and figuring out where we are. Our last... Adventure was..."
    "It was a disaster." Malise the gray one bluntly stated. "And I'd like to prevent that ever happening again. Are you local to this area by any chance? Far shot, considering you don't see any dragonites around these parts, but..."
    "N-not local, but I have learned how to read maps quite well. Having the ability to get a bird's-eye view helps a lot instead of just guessing. Buuuut..."
    "Buuuut?" The orange tabby led him to finish, only to get the male to whimper a bit.
    "Buuuut, I-I'll warn you now so a... Previous event or misunderstanding doesn't happen again: using the form does require me to..." A gesture to go on as he leaned into the center of the table, making the others do the same to hear him. "...Strip and leave my clothing behind-" The goat suddenly whimpered in near excitement while the mouse threatened her with a finger.
    "I Will get that bucket of water!"
    "A-aside from that, and any promises that you do not slap me for suddenly appearing naked in the woods, I don't mind helping your group." He gestured a handshake around the table for introductions, starting with the orange tabby. "Eqol."
    "Catara." The Cat smiled happily, taking his hand for a gentle shake.
    "Gotia." The Goat nearly purred, giving him a wink.
    "Malise." The Mouse nodded, shaking his hand firmly.
    "Nice to meet you all, providing I will be compensated for my efforts?"
    "Of course." The feline chuckled. "Here I thought that was obvious."
    "Y-you'd be surprised." Eqol rubbed the back of his neck. "Especially when..."
    "Misunderstandings?" The mouse half asked, counting out the total for the breakfast and preparing to pay it off.
    "Misunderstandings, yes." That blush returned into his blue face, but only for a moment. "However, what's this mission you three are on?" The smaller two females paused and looked over at the white goat, finishing her drink before leaning forwards.
    "We are being trusted to reclaim a Holy Artifact..."

    The day trip down the path was pleasant and uneventful. The occasional deer was spotted within the treeline, but something that big would've been too difficult to carry around. Let alone, it would attract other wildlife looking for a quick meal. So instead, the ranger branched off slightly and gathered some berries and nuts as a field snack.
    Night came quickly as a storm began to close in nearby. Forcing the group to make camp earlier than they expected, and within the shelter of the trees. The wind began to pick up as the four got their tents set up. Though, the weather was making it difficult for the dragon to set up his, requiring help from Gotia. "Y'know~" She purred, holding up one of the pulls as he hammered the peg into the ground. "I've got plenty of room in my tent."
    "S-so you've mentioned. To everyone here." Eqol nearly whimpered, trying to keep his cool.
    "All I'm saying is that it's getting colder out, and if you ever need to get warmed up..." The white one leaned in close. "I can make a great heat pad." Another whimper, this time from him hitting his own digit and flinching. Her golden gaze looking over the nearby burnt 'paddle' he was carrying. "That's a strange looking club."
    "Hmm? Oh. It's not a club."
    "It's an ore? For a boat?"
    "N-not quite."
    "Axe?"
    "An exotic type of Lute, actually." A very strange look from the white one.
    "It has no strings on it. Don't those things usually have...?"
    "Y-yeah... They do." He awkwardly said, the pin giving him a little bit of a hard time as he put more effort into hammering it in. Being a bit distant about the whole thing, but the goat read the room.
    "Anyway, my offer always stands if you ever change your mind, azure." Gotia purred, getting a little bit closer to his ear. "Even if one of the other girls are in there, all the better. I'm sure you can put that tail of yours to good use-" Another mess up from the blue one as he accidentally hit his own snout with the small hammer, causing it to bleed a little. "Y-you okay?"
    "F-f-fine!" He whimpered loudly, hoping that she thought the bleeding was from the hammerblow. "J-just-uh... I-I think I'm good." His groaning finally caught the attention of the other two, as he gave signals that he was fine.
    "Leave the poor guy alone, Gotia. You can mount him hard when we get back to a bed, until then we need his spine intact." Catara giggled, not helping the situation.
    "Alright, we should have someone keep watch-"
    "I'll do it!" The male volunteered, motioning his snout. "I gotta tend to this anyway."
    "You sure? Weren't you up half the previous night traveling?" The mouse asked.
    "Y-yeah, I'll be fine. Dragonites don't need that much sleep, and plus: low-light vision." The others shared a look, but nodded.
    "Okay, wake me up in three hours then. I'll get the next shift." Malise offered, each returning to their tents while the goat left with another wink. Starting to take off her revealing armor top before she entered.

------

    "I'm sorry that my character is teasing your boyfriend so much." The goat player whimpered.
    "I-it's okay." The orange tabby giggled, blushing nearly as hard as the male. "All in good fun."
    "Yeah... Fun." The otter grumbled, needing a few more moments to uncover her paw from her eyes and making a few rolls on the many-sided dice. "Can you roll me a few Fortitude checks, Dae?"
    "How many?"
    "Just one per hour." A couple of rolls of the dice. "Okay, those are fine. Now, a perception check for each." Another few rolls, the first one being rather low. "Hmm, okay. If you want to spend any cards you have to alter that, you can."
    "Nah, it's okay."
    "Alright then. That first one isn't a complete failure, whereas... You get the sense that you're being watched."
    "Watched?" The otter nodded at him. "By something in the darkness?"
    "Yes. And occasionally you do spot a pair of red glowing dots in the second hour." Daegan raised an eyebrow at her. "But only for a few moments. However, you swear you spot them again in a different location."
    "Glowing red dots? Eyes...? Like an Aatxe?" Ray asked her, only getting a shrug from the otter.
    "Wasn't that the demon goat thing from Afterlife?" The gray one thought out loud.
    "Bull, but close." The group looked at their GM, who once again shrugged but gave them a head shake as well. "Oh good, we're not screwed."
    "But there's something out there." The dragon pondered. "Do I hear anything?"
    "Not over the winds from the storm." Dae pondered for a moment while she waited patiently. "Make a Reflex save."
    "Fishsticks." The male cursed, getting the others to light giggle, then a little louder when he rolled poorly. "There's no saving that."
    "Yeahhh..." Nona mumbled.

++++++

    The dark had him shivering in his cloak, his blue scales clicking loudly as he looked over the areas where he spotted the strange lights. Never seeing that shade before, too dark to be torches, too deep to be magic... They were unnatural, unreal. Not full of hate or vengeance, just... Soulless.
    It wasn't until he spotted them again for the third time, still quite far away where the dragon decided to wake another to check it out with. Getting up and barely hearing a strange click before the sting of something small hitting him in the arm. Instantly grabbing it and pulling out a... Very small dart? Metal shaft, a small needle for an arrowhead, red feather at the far end. Only to start feeling some dizzy effects midstep and stumble. His head getting light while his vision darkening, barely making out the steps of something heavy getting closer...
    And those soulless red lights.

    The mouse woke up in a stiff darkness, nearly feeling paralyzed before a heavy dose of adrenaline. Completely bound in thin... Sticky ropes and trapped in total darkness. It was like being stuck in a coffin of fabric, one she was barely able to move through. However, thanks to her small frame, she was able to struggle her arms around for a blade.
    Only to find the sheath instead; the weapon missing. Searching for another one as she began feeling the effects of suffocation- that was missing too! Going for her emergency one that was hidden-! It was still there! Taking some effort to get it out and into position to cut though the fabric, that first pierce and press forwards to allow the airflow to reach her gray muzzle-!
    Taking that precious breath of fresh air, and a couple more before ripping her way through the sticky binds. Only to enter a darkness, with very low light, but enough to tell her she wasn't blind. However, those ears flickered when she started hearing whimpers nearby. Crawling over and feeling out another cocoon of sorts, even detecting movement inside it. "Hey!" She whispered loudly. "Hold still! I'm going to cut you an airway first!" A whimper from within as they tried to stop moving, gasping loudly as soon as that fresh air was felt. "I'll cut you free a bit, but let me make sure the others don't suffocate!"
    A few sharp traces started the unweaving process of the webbing before moving to the next one. Hearing the goat break out near effortlessly once the process started while the other two needed assistance. "Is everyone okay-?" Catara started to ask, then instantly whimpered when her ears flicked towards the sounds of a giant spider overhead. Holding the nearest body for protection, that happened to be the dragon. "Oh no..."
    Some more noises, as if communicating. "I think I'm hearing three in total." Malise nearly growled, shifting her blade around in a guard. "But I can't see anything...!"
    "Anyone got a torch?"
    "Webs are flammable, Gotia! We light one, the whole cave might go up in flames-!" The cat yelped as another noise was heard nearby, getting the two to take a step away from it and the dragonite's foot hit something... Wooden? Making him instantly shift his gaze to the ground and search for it. Finding a familiar texture.
    "Is this...?" He quickly studied it with his hands and concluded it was his instrument. "Guys... Find your weapons."
    "Well, we would if we could see-" The mouse grumbled, only to suddenly get a steady flash of light as the male's hands struck a chord; revealing several strings of pure lightning across the burnt guitar. He looked into the cat's eyes; still holding him tightly and she nodded nervously before looking around. And he began to play...

------

    "Dork." The otter grumbled, getting a chuckle from the rest of the group. "Messing up my explosive dramatic exit."
    "S-sorry."
    "It needed to be said. Roll initiative, and do you actually have a ballet card you're going to play?"
    "Y-yeah, Ballet Of Battle: +5 to all attack rolls done by party members."
    "Not including yourself, and it'll occupy your turns for as long as the song lasts." Daegan nodded in understanding, and Nona motioned the others to keep track of the bonus. "So, alright. Your performance is-"
    "Electrifying?" The gray cat giggled.
    "You get ONE more pun, that's it." The otter grumbled, continuing her statement. "Your performance is lighting up the area, but are there sparks coming off of the magical weapon?"
    "No. It was made so that the lightning bolt strings were not weaponized at all." The dragon stated, looking over his cards. "I can use them in the form of a spell, but not the strings themselves."
    "Okay. Now, I'm going to 100% regret this but..." She sighed. "Do you have a song in mind to play?"
    "...Mötley Crüe - Dr. Feelgood?" The group just chuckled at the brown GM's reaction; Nona's head shaking and burying it in her paws.
    "Dork." She groaned loudly. "I don't know what that is, but you're a dork regardless."

++++++

    The heavy cords ripped though the cave while the light omitted in long pulses, not quite flashes or strobes. Eqol moving into a position where the shadows would be minimized through the empty space; his back towards the cave and causing the giant spiders to hiss and become disoriented. Both from the light and the strange sounds, as if there was a built-in amp within the magic instrument.
    As surprised as the group was, they followed orders and spotted a few items. Grabbing the first thing they could find, turning out to be someone else's gear before taking a quick look at each other and fluidly tossing the weapons/shield to the correct person. Going into battle poses and trying to ignore the massive 'Doooooorks!' of the god of this land cringing.
    The ranger took action first, spotting the three large spiders and aiming at the only one on the ceiling. Firing two arrows in quick succession, both hitting and the second one nearly knocked it off. Only being saved by grappling a stalactite with some webbing.
    The rogue delayed her turn, waiting for the goat to engage first. However, one of the spiders moved inbetween their actions, approaching the mouse and going in for a bite. Missing, but giving the gray one an opportunity to slide underneath the giant arachnid and flank it from behind.
    Only for the paladin to step in the rogue's previous spot; right in front of the engaged spider and shield bash it in the face. Reducing its dodging ability by stunning it and slamming hard with a mace. Causing the creature to squeal loudly in pain before getting stabbed in the back by both a short sword and Malise's concealed dagger.
    The next spider moved forward to attack the rogue, once again barely missing the skittish mouse. Then the swinging arachnid's turn, letting go of its grapple and actually landing directly on top of the goat! Getting her shield up in time to keep herself stable, but getting a direct bite from it on the collar!
    Soon getting shot off by the shortbow ranger and hearing the thing hissing in pain, now down for the count. However, the effects of the spider's poison was soon starting to be seen as Gotia's chest began to swell outwards. Getting the ranger to curse and begin searching for her satchel while the mouse held off the last spider.
    The white one whimpered as her breastplate kept getting tighter and tighter, attempting to hold back her enlarging bust after dropping her shield and mace. The leather straps over her shoulders began to creak loudly as all that 'plush' began to fold over the protective pads. Soon growing from watermelon sizes to double that before Catara found her medicine bag. Searching through it to find the correct antivenom and dashing towards the inflating goat. "Drink this-!" She started to instruct, just as a strap gave out and whipped the orange one in the snout.

    The group blushed heavily while staring at their GM, watching her roll some things hidden behind the screen. Watching the otter rather calmly look at the orange tabby and speak to her. "That's only 2 damage from the strap, enough to probably give you a little bruise, but you'll be fine." She then looked around at all the strange looks her players were giving her. "What?"
    "N-nothing!" The goat whimpered loudly. "J-just... Didn't expect some BE when I came here today."
    "Don't blame me, that's literally what this monster does. And you weren't even supposed to fight them in the first place." Without looking at him, Nona pointed at Dae. "And you keep your paws on the table." The dragon quickly did so, but also shifted his legs to better hide his... 'own hidden dagger'. "As for the poison..."

++++++

    The ranger flinched backwards at the sudden strap-attack, dropping the vial into Gotia's cleavage. Without hesitating, the goat grabbed the small dose and quickly chugged it, trying to ignore the pressure as her bust continued to grow outwards. Warping the metal of her armor downwards as they expanded over the comfort pads.
    However, she could at least breathe freely, a little tight like wearing a corset but far from suffocating like in the cocoon. Yet, her bust continued to grow, actually pulling on the side straps to her armor and tearing them as well. Giving freedom to her now massive chest, well over 5x the watermelon sizes they started at before being abducted into the cave.
    The mouse was being extra cautious, slowly whittling the last spider down as the dragon continued playing. When he started playing a quick solo before, charging the weapon up before firing a bolt of lightning directly at the creature. Frying it and causing it to collapse in several jerking motions, leaving the group in very low light when he stopped playing.
    Taking a breath before lightly skimming his digits across the 'strings' to keep a little bit of the light around so they could see... Until finally noticing what happened to the goat and passing out in a nosebleed. Once again leaving them in darkness as they double taked. "Y-you okay?" The ranger asked, only getting a whimper in response.

    The dragon came to a few minutes later, almost feeling a thick anger over him as Eqol attempted to get up- only to rise directly into that massive cleavage. Paw at it for a few moments before finally realizing what it was, and getting pinned down into the ground by them. The goat on top of him as he struggled, barely being able to breath while making out the other females arguing. "Okay! Okay, Fine!" Gotia growled at them. "I'll give him ONE chance to explain himself!"
    She raised up, allowing the male to get a much needed gasp of air before getting pinned down again, this time without his head being swallowed by the massive bust. "Bard! Explain Yourself!"
    "W-what?" He whimpered at the white one.
    "Why in the name of the Holy One are you in possession of a Demonic Weapon!?" A sharp whimper from the dragon as nearly all the blood drained from his face, coming to a realization.
    "Oh... Fishsticks." He whimpered his curse. "Y-you're not a Fighter..."
    "I'm a Crusader! A Paladin of The Holy Goat, and you're violating a sacred Taboo!" A whine from him as Gotia leaned down, squishing her chest pillows over his neck and head, cutting off his airway. "You get one chance to convince me to let you live."
    "Or die how pretty much anyone would love to go out." Malise added in, almost jokingly and getting a strange look from the other two. "I'm just stating the obvious."

------

    "Sorry!" The goat apologized to Daegan. "Out Of Character: I really don't want to be mean, but-"
    "I-it's just what your character would do, no worries." The dragon added in, blushing. "That's a Paladin for you, no offense taken a-and I did plan for this."
    "Alright, Dae. How are you going to talk your way out of this one?" The otter asked, watching him take a deep breath to clear his head.

++++++

    "I was set up." That sharp golden gaze returned to what little of his snout could be seen within the white fluff. "I mean it! After some night of drinking... Meeting some guy with a strange pocketwatch, I remember getting a job. And something... Pulled me to this abandoned school or something, one that was half burnt down and next to a tree-AndNowIReallyReallyNeedToBreathe-!" The goat leaned off him enough for Eqol to take a few breaths. "The next thing I remember... I'm holding onto some large piece of burnt wood, strings of lightning... Dragonites have always been good with magic items, but I didn't know it was demonic-"
    "How could you not-!?"
    "Until I returned it to the guy... Who couldn't wield it like I could." The blue scaled one took a breath. "I was tricked into retrieving it, but the weapon chose me. No matter how often I attempted to ditch it; throwing it off a cliff, into the river tied to a rock, setting it on a wagon passing by..."
    "It always returned to you, somehow." The ranger mumbled a bit sadly, getting the other two females to look at her in question. "I'm not carrying any, but my late uncle told stories about his militia buddies..." The goat looked back at the male she had pinned.
    "I know Demonic weapons are... Evil and destructive. And even if I could unbind it from myself... Who would pick it up next? I have no ambitions to make the world a worse place. At the moment, it's honestly safer if I kept it on me, isn't it?" A grumble from Gotia. "That way I know where it is, and I know it can't harm anybody."
    "So you think."
    "By all means, Paladin; if your place of worship has a way to unbind this from me and confine it, I will gladly do so." He attempted to pad her swollen bust a little to look her in the eyes. "It's something you can help me with after this 'mission', but until then know that I am your ally. Not your enemy."
    "And a victim of someone else's dark motives." The mouse added in, getting a concerned look from the white one. "I've heard rumors about some lad with a strange pocketwatch. Turning pigeons and beavers into stone. Regardless, Loqe-"
    "Eqol." The dragon corrected her with a wheeze.
    "-Eqol is much more useful to us alive, but that doesn't explain how we got here."
    "About two hours into my watch, I started seeing glowing... lights. Red, but nothing like fire." The dragon admitted, still buried under the goat's fluffy chest. "I've seen them only on occasion before... I don't remember, honestly. I do remember getting hit by something though, like a dart."
    "Then we woke up here?" Malise asked.
    "Then you were cutting me out of a... Cocoon?" An uncomfortable breath from everyone nearly in sync. "Anyone else feel like they suddenly need a bath?"
    "Six." Catara half grumbled, her orange fur puffing out. "Let him up, Gotia. If need be, you can smite him later." A grumble but the white one got up, feeling her chest bounce heavily in the motions and attempt to hold them. "Are you breathing okay?"
    "Yeah, but how long until the swelling goes down?"
    "Could be hours, could be days. Depending on the spider." They heard the dragonite get up and put his hand on the guitar, allowing the strings to illuminate.
    "J-just getting some light, because... A-a torch would..."
    "Set this entire area on fire, yeah." The gray one grumbled, getting the attention of the feline. "Which way is out?"
    "I want to take a look at these first." She motioned the spiders and the dragon to follow her for some light. The entire group observing the giant arachnids and... Spotting mechanical limbs on them. Each having different ones, some more than others. "What are those...?"
    "Legs made of metal? Attached onto the body...?" The paladin was brave enough to actually touch the corpse. "Yeah, that's real alright."
    "I've never heard of giant spiders growing metal limbs before." The tabby looked over the others. "This one even has a metal patch? Covering a wound?" A heavy howl of wind was heard, both behind them and in front of. The ranger looked at both ends but headed up and motioning the others to quietly follow.
    It got darker at first, but then the cave began to get wet and painted with a low moonlight. The group carefully moving forwards to see the shadow of a large garrison a ways in front of the mouth of the cave. Guarding the front gate were two mechanical bears, equipped with deep red lights for eyes. The three looked at Eqol for confirmation; if that's what he saw before they were abducted and he nodded slowly.
    "That... Is our destination." Gotia said quietly, enduring another heavy wind for a few moments. "The Holy Banana must lie within-"

------

    "Wait, What!?" Daegan did a large double take while the others burst out laughing, save for the GM who was only snickering. "The 'Holy Artifact'... Is a Banana." He questioned, only further flabbergasting the others. "I feel like I'm missing some context or reference."
    "You are, yes." Nona admitted. "But it's getting kinda late. Our dorm closes in like 15 minutes." The otter began packing up her things. "Good session toda-are you three going to be okay?" She grumbled at the cackling cats and goat, getting multiple hand gestures to give them a moment.
    Meanwhile, the male was just left scratching his head before heading off into the visible restroom. At least giving them time to calm down, though nearly starting their laughter again once he opened the door. "It's not that funny, is it?" Dae whimpered.
    "It was just how you said it, along with your reaction." Ray finally admitted. "Not to mention, when you get irritated, you spines... Start... Lifting-!" And the orange cat was once again flabbergasted, leaving the otter to just shake her head and share a look with the Glider.
    "Hope you like that laugh, you'll probably be hearing it a lot."
    "Better than a previous girlfriend I had." He shrugged. "She would never laugh and instead just say 'That's So Funny'."
    "My sister does that. Gets on my nerves." Nona playfully tossed her snout. "Come on, you two. If you want a ride home, get packing." The goat and gray feline nodded and began gathering their things and getting dressed for the outside.
    "It was nice meeting and playing with you, Daegan." Celeste shyly waved at him.
    "Yeah, hope to see you again. And sorry that my character was so mean."
    "D-don't worry about it. I've played with paladins before, you did it in the best way possible."
    "Noted~" Both Tiao and Ray stated, a little flirty and making him blush again.
    "See you guys next week." The otter stated, opening the door to leave while the group said their goodbyes for now. Leaving the orange tabby and the dragon alone in the house.
    "Well..." He started, a bit awkwardly. "That was fun."
    "Sorry about my friends, but I diiiid warn you about them." The cat chuckled.
    "No-no, really. It was fun. Just a bit more..."
    "Thirsty?"
    "Than I expected, yes." Dae cleared his throat and started helping her clean off the table. Putting away any trash and taking out any dishes. "H-hopefully you're not too jealous...?"
    "About what happened?" A noise in confirmation as the orange one shook her head. "Don't worry about it." A sigh in relief. "Did it tickle you, though?"
    "What?"
    "Like... Gotia's swelling chest." A whimper from the male. "Busting out of her armor." A sharper one that made Ray nearly crack into giggles. "P-pinning you down with them-"
    "O-okay, I'm going to have to warn you now to stop unless you want to clean up a bloody mess." That made her cave, laughing as he took a few breaths to calm down. "I've... Always wanted to be in a position like that, but..."
    "B-but what?"
    "W-well... Finding someone with that big of a bust is..."
    "Beyond realistic?"
    "Well beyond realistic, yes." The dragon rubbed the back of his own neck awkwardly. "But... It's always been something I've liked."
    "It's always been something every guy has liked, but it is beyond most of our understanding." He followed the cat into the kitchen, taking some of the dishes with him. "When did you last eat?" The question almost instantly made him realize just how hungry the Glider was. Releasing an exhale of slight discomfort while holding his middle. "I think that answers my question. But Host's Rule: anything that's left on the table is theirs to keep in terms of food and drink. Feel free to help yourself."
    "I don't think snacks are really going to cut it."
    "Want some eggs then?" A strange look from her. "I want you to have some energy tonight."
    "R-right." He whimpered. "That... Surprise?"
    "Yep~" She purred, nearly bunting the tan colored dragon as Ray made her way to the fridge. Starting up the stovetop and gathering a few things. "Finish up the table, I'll work on these and do the dishes."
    "Okay." He took a moment to hold her, sharing a small kiss and getting the feline to purr again. Pressing her chest against his own and making the male lightly whimper again as they waited for the frying pan to heat up.
    "...It's always been something I liked as well." A noise in question from Daegan. "Big fluffy... 'Pillows'. To the point where I shared that with Tiao when I was younger; her mother being absolutely huge. And she ended up giving me a big hug one day when I was like 10 years old."
    "A-and... That's where Tiao gets it, I imagine?"
    "Yeah, I'm a little envious of her boobs. Through highschool we had a little rivalry about who was growing out the fullest." Another whimper from the dragon made the orange one chuckle. "But I think that's where the group gets these ideas from: teasing me and enjoying getting a big reaction out of guys."
    "W-well, they're definitely giving us something big, that's for sure." A small laugh and a playful tap on his chest. "But you've really... Liked those?"
    "Big boobs?" A sharp noise in confirmation, still detecting the heat from Dae's blush without even looking up at him. "Yeah... It's not something every species can get though. I have spent quite a few hours researching things. From diets, to implants, experimental drugs or natural remedies." Another awkward mumble from him made the tabby smile. "Is this subject too uncomfortable for you?"
    "N-not specifically, but..." He took a breath. "I had a friend when I was staying in a different location who... Erm..."
    "Out with it, Dae~"
    "He was very interested in this stuff as well. Let alone loved trying to experiment with his mate to try things." A loud swallow from the dragon. "He told me what often worked and what didn't..."
    "Annnnd? What did he suggest?" She teased him.
    "...Promise you won't get upset with me?"
    "Yes, yes. Out with it."
    "Air compressor." A sudden double take from the feline as he broke up in laughter, getting a sigh of relief from Ray. "But really, it's sex."
    "Okay, that we can do."
    "Lots and lots of sex."
    "Yep, that's fine. But you are not hooking up an industrial hose to my girls." The two laughed. "Seriously, though? You're not just saying that to get laid?"
    "I honestly thought he was talking out of his tail too, but that mixed with daily massages... I seen the results. We went shopping for new bras multiple times with her in the semester I visited. At least three times." Ray looked at him in disbelief.
    "She... Went up three sizes...?"
    "In a few months, yes. She was canine, Golden Lab specifically, but Riggy said it shouldn't matter so long that they're mammals. Dragons, birds, reptiles... All different stories." A little smooch on her snout, the look on the cat's rather hopeful face made him smile. "But there's a chance for your 'girls' to grow out."
    That made her smile, until his stomach growling broke their moment. "I guess I should feed you. How do you like your eggs?"
    "I don't care. All I could ever make was scrambled."
    "Awwwh~"
    "You have ketchup, right?" She made a sudden face in disgust at Dae's request. "Otherwise eggs just taste like metal to me."
    "Weirdo." She teased him. "Go work on the table, I'll get these cooked and then you can ruin them by dousing them in ketchup." A chuckle from the glider as he shared one more little smooch before heading back out into the dining area. Cleaning off the table and putting the books and dice neatly into a pile before turning back out with a few more bits of garbage. Just in time to have his evening meal ready and on a plate. "Enjoy~"
    "Thank you, Ray." He gave another kiss before getting himself a fork and taking a bite out of it. Shaking his head slightly and making a face. "Tastes like aluminum, sorry." He said, reaching for the ketchup.
    "How weird. But bonus points for at least giving them a try." A small hug from the dragon. "Now go into the living room and eat while I clean up out here. Take a rest if you need to." A nod from the male as he did so, closing his eyes after eating and actually falling asleep for some time.

    However, he was woken up by someone climbing on his lap. Making him half grumble awake and lightly shake his head, ear flicking at a familiar giggle as her arms flanked his head. Spotting the orange tabby pattern and the dragon nuzzled her. "Have a nice little nap?" He answered with a noise in confirmation as he gave that feline snout a little smooch. "That session must've taken a lot out of you, huh?"
    "The walk and the cold didn't help too much." He joked, getting another kiss from the female. "How long was I out?"
    "Only about twenty minutes tops. Didn't want you to sleep the evening away."
    "Right." He yawned, slowly becoming a bit more awake. "And r-ruin your..."
    "Surprise, yes~" She purred, lifting something that was hidden behind his head; giving him a wrapped box with a ribbon on it. "A little something for each of us." He purred in question as he studied it, feeling her paws slide down his sides after delivering it. Curious, the Glider opened it and pulled out a collar of sorts, instantly making him whimper and blush.
    "I-is...?"
    "That would be mine, yes." He felt a little better about that, but still a bit uneasy for his own. Regardless, before searching the box further, he gently put it around Ray's neck. Attaching it and sliding it around to make sure it was comfortable.
    "It looks great on you." That made her smile brightly and blush as she felt for the little nametag; one designed like a cat's paw.
    "Now for your part." Another slight whimper left the male's throat as he brought the box back into view, searching through the fancy colored paper and pulling out... A leash? An instant sigh of relief was read in his eyes, making the tabby laugh a little. Then he went full on into it; a loud, overdramatic snout toss equipped with a groan of relief that nearly made her fall off of him in giggles. "I know you weren't too keen on collars, don't worry. But..."
    "I-I remember you saying you always wanted one. Let alone..." Dae trailed off, blushing deeply. Tossing the box off to the side and gently hooking the leash onto her collar, almost instantly getting her to huff and flail that orange tail in excitement. More so when he gave the strap a little tug. "A-and you like that?"
    "Yes~" Another heated breath as she bunted him. "A lot~" He gave her some slack and a surprise kiss when she reared her head back, preparing for another bunt. Moaning a little as they locked fangs for a moment, then getting that tug to kiss him deeper. Turning that vocal into a begging whimper as Ray pressed her body up against him; her crotch grinding up against his and nearly teasing that bulge.
    The dragon gripped her hip tightly with the other paw, sliding over her pantleg and around her hindquarter. Pressing into where her folds would be to make the feline whimper loudly in need, then opening her fly and button to invite that paw in. Feeling Dae take the opportunity slowly to cup her while still holding that leash firmly, rubbing and pressing those digits against her sex.
    The two released heated breaths through their snouts as they lapped against the invading tongues. Feeling her claws flex into his shirt and thick hide for a few moments before retracting and moving down to his pants. Undoing the button around the waist and unzipping the fly to release the thick red flare. Exposing it to the opened air only for a moment before getting the attention of her paws, and a deep reaction from the male. Making him purr loudly in the kiss as he pulled the leash in pulses; giving her some slack and then taking it back without defining a proper pattern for the cat to predict.
    It was working up the orange one too quickly though, needing to break the kiss and pant loudly while her nose still touched his. Ears blushing deeply as she felt that collar get played with by her mate and receive a few teasing licks from Daegan's tongue. Eventually feeling her pull back and slide off his lap, though being forcefully stopped by the grip on that leash and making her whimper. Looking at her larger male in a near beg as he released a loud huff, breaking his dominating composure and making her giggle. "I... Really need a picture of that look, g-give me a minute."
    "Sure~" Ray purred, getting back into position and recreating the look. Only getting more authentic when a tug was felt and hearing his phone omit the shutter. Then another when she spread his knees apart, that fluffy orange tail still sweeping as her hind leg pushed away the coffee table. Pulling his pants down ever so slightly, just enough for one paw to slide inside and cup his package while she began lapping at his tool with her rougher tongue.
    It wasn't as 'sandpaper-y' as the glider expected, actually feeling kind of good against the spines that decorated his length. Making that spire release little jolts, giving off the taste of warm vanilla icing and making the feline purr again. Bunting the red flesh and never minding the small beads of pre that landed on her whiskers, feeling them slide down to the ends and drip off. Completely unaware of another appendage making its way between her legs...
    Only to suddenly get detected and tense up, spotting the Glider's grin taking a snapshot of her surprise. Giving Ray a sigh of relief that it wasn't a snake or something, but the damn dragon's tail squeezing into her underwear. Continuing her work and posing for him while that sneaky appendage rubbed against her folds. That tanned tip pressing up inbetween the swollen gates and gently entering them as she whined in bliss.
    After a few more pictures, he put the phone away and just gave her head a few pets. Soon getting an idea and lifting it up via the leash, loving that whimper she gave as Ray was instructed upwards; her middle between his knees and her buttoned shirt pressing against that member. Feeling the dragon's free hand stroke her head, down her chin, lightly tug that collar to make the tabby whine. That tail teasing her by sliding in and out of the orange one's vent, making Ray more and more moist by the moment.
    Then that free paw moved down her chest where one button was still opened and displayed the soft fluff that warmed up his muzzle earlier. Giving the second button a tug that made the female blush a bit, following what he wanted and nodding. Though not without getting a few more thrusts from that tanned appendage, the feline's position change making it difficult for that tail to continue working her up and withdrawing from duty.
    Button by button her chest was exposed. Soon revealing that Ray wasn't wearing a bra underneath, and a little self-conscious about her bust size; looking like the high end of grapefruits, taking into account her winter coat. But surrounding the glider's spineful tool with the chest pillows and fluff got a nice reaction out of him regardless. Sliding them up and down, letting the soft furs tickle his flesh steadily. Causing the flare to release more and more pre over it as she stroked his length.
    They honestly felt much bigger than they looked, hearing the deep huffs and purrs leaving Dae's muzzle made her smile. Soon once again scrambling for that phone for another snapshot; this time of her showing off what was inbetween her bust. "T-that one is..." He huffed loudly. "Is going to do some serious work when I miss you." Making her chuckle in response.
    "Just as long as you don't share them-"
    "Oh yeah, I'm a dork not a dick." That one sent her into laughs, even breaking him into them as well. Continuing her work as he panted, nearly growling and making her smile brightly at his reactions. Watching that controlling paw reduce the slack on the leash before Daegon got her attention to face down. Pulling it slightly and making her whine as his tip just lightly pressed against her nose; releasing a few droplets of that pre.
    Orders understood though, she started lapping at the tip and taking it into her maw. Getting a tug upwards to let her chest do some work before coming down again to muzzle it. Hearing several more shutters as the glider growled in pleasure, paying Ray compliment after compliment at her work and rewarding her with several jolts of that warm icing. Soon starting to get larger globs of it as the collar was pulled down as far as he could instruct it, getting her to only take maybe half the length though.
    The feline kept at it, working up the male more and more with all her options: licks and laps. Strokes and bunts. Fluff and bust. Still occasionally getting guidance from that leash, but it just wasn't enough. Instead, feeling the controlling paw onto her mane and making Ray whimper in bliss as it began pushing her head down further and further. Instructing the cat to take more of his length every few rotations.
    The glider's claws began to flex though, obtaining a firm grip within Ray's hair as it pulled her closer and closer to his hilt. Forcing the cat's maw to take more of his length until she could feel it release jolts against the back of her throat. Needing to change position slightly to take the rest, raising her body up a little and triggering the male's instinct to grip her mane harder! Pulling her towards him until her whiskers could be felt against his pelvis, snout deep into his crotch.
    Daegan held her hair there tightly as his tool pulsed heavily, leaking several large jolts of his pre in her throat as she massaged it in her maw. Hearing another shutter-noise from the phone as Ray continued to swallow, leaving the male to pant hard like he's trying to hold back. Still keeping a firm grip on her hair but petting her with a single digit.
    Only for Ray to suck on his tool hard and make him hiss, drawing so close to the edge and just barely keeping him from releasing so quickly. The constant pets and licks from her tongue not quite helping as the dragon finally released his grip and let her withdraw and take a breath. "I..." The male panted. "Didn't know you could deep..."
    "Deepthroat?" She playfully pet his thighs, knowing just how worked up the glider was. "It's not very often I can find a mate long enough to do it, my last two weren't quite there." A few teases on Daegan's tip as he grumbled, getting up and gesturing to the feline to do the same with the collar. Still quite the height difference between them, needing to bend down a little to give her another kiss while his other paw reached over her behind. Gripping it tightly and pressing a couple of digits in where her sex would be, making her nearly quiver as he detected moisture.
    Then he retreated that paw back up to her waist, pulling the pants fully down while she took her shirt off. Still sharing that kiss for a moment before she broke it and moved over to the couch; taking his phone and handing it over to the dragon while she posed. "I want a copy of them too." He nodded at her in agreement as she rested on the sofa in different positions, leash still in his hand and still lightly tugging to get the most authentic expressions from Ray.
    Until one where she was over the furnature's arm, taking a few pictures from the front of her exposing her chest. Then at the back where her swollen folds were on display; tail flicking and messing up a few shots, but the view was just too much for the dragon to resist. Moving behind the tabby as she wiggled that rear end, making his weapon throb with frustration as he slid it up and down; in between her orange and white thighs where Ray's fur coat tickled the draconic flesh once again.
    A tug on the leash still made her moan as his other paw slid over her rump. Rubbing over her sex before sliding in two digits that made the cat whimper in bliss as he massaged and explored the vent a little. A little test before the real thing, taking his tool out from her thighs and pressing that tip against her gates, the flare already beginning to seperate them.
    The anticipation was wonderful enough on its own, but it was that tug on her collar that really made the feline sing. Being pulled backwards; forced to don the dragon's lower horn as that leash controlled Ray. Her sex opening wider as more and more of that length entered the female slowly, making her sing in constant pants and moans as that leash ordered her backwards.
    Then one large thrust into her folds pushed the cat over the edge, squeezing Dae's member hard as she soaked it. Leaving the two in faint pants as the dragon embraced her from behind, giving Ray time to feel the weapon pulse within her. Lapping at her neck and nape, taking a small grip on one of her breasts. Almost like his weapon was growing to fit her as the feline's lower folds constantly braced him tightly. Waiting for the release so he could thrust into her again and make her gasp.
    A polite order to rest over the sofa's arm again as he got into position, riding her against it with the leash still in hand. Her chest pillows hanging over the other side, free to bounce and jiggle with every movement as the dragon mounted the orange one's sex. Vocals being a symphony of growls, moans, gasps and purrs as they kept at it for what felt like a few dozen minutes.
    Occasionally, Daegon would brace her with the collar as he released jolts of pre into the feline's womb. Letting it leak out freely during their motions in a dripping puddle on the cushion. That is until one time too many where he tripped past the point of no return, rolling with it and just getting this burst of aggression as he rode the smaller cat hard for nearly a minute. Cumming into her sex as Ray squeezes his tool tightly, feeling a thick gush of his seed begin filling her up and rounding her lower belly ever so slightly for as long as she gripped him. Her release instantly breaking the pressure and letting the mess flow out as they panted. Left embracing as his weapon twiched within her.
    "I..." Daegon huffed several times, nuzzling her. "I'm so glad... We're not compatible." She chuckled at that.
    "You enjoyed filling me up that much, huh?"
    "You would not believe the mess condoms can make." He grumbled, flicking an ear. "But it beats getting another dragon pregnant." Ray just bunted him. "Sorry I didn't undress. Still-"
    "Cold?" Dae nodded at her. "That's okay, hopefully I did warm you up a little." A deep purr from him as he lightly thrusted into her; that member still almost searing in her heated sex. "Oh? Are you still up for more?"
    "Yeah." The glider panted. "Just need a drink." She nodded, and began pushing backwards. Making him whimper a little as he was forced to lay on the couch and have her grind on top of him. Once again, hand Daegan the phone for a few photos as she dismounted the wet mess, only to double take at the draconic spire; clearly bigger than before.
    "W-wait..." Ray took a moment to actually hold it in her hands, regardless of the coating. "Did this...!?"
    "Y-yeah..." The dragon whimpered. "I... Grow to fit who I'm with or in. Something about my species." Those feline eyes looked at him in both puzzlement and wonder before he started to get up.
    "No, no. I'll get you something. Just take a small rest." She playfully ordered, but not before getting tugged by that leash again, leading to another kiss while he disconnected the strap from her collar. Smirking at her blush as that dripping female walked out of the room.
    Though, it didn't take too long for her to make a purr in question, something Dae knew he was going to regret. Watching her come out with a large chip-can (think "Pringles") and hold it up in question, instantly getting him to whimper. "Would this actually work-?" She giggled at his even-more-worried expression as he gave him the glass of water.
    "I'll be honest with you, Ray..." He sighed. "...Yes. But-!" Those cat-eyes lit up. "BUT! Don't make it too big or else I won't fit inside you for a while. You were pretty tight as it is."
    "I just want to try a little." A slight whimper from the male but he agreed. Taking the lid off the large can and making sure it was empty before sliding it over the dragon's shaft. Making sure the underneath of the tool was pressing against the side of the can while gripping his hilt between her fingers. Kind of simulating a vent of sorts as Dae took a drink.
    Then began breathing quite deeply, getting a bit of concern from her. "I-I'm fine, just..." A few more breaths. "Takes more blood production... To increase..."
    "So, it's... Working?" A nod nearly got her excited, making that orange tail flick around again. "When should I stop?"
    "Within the next minute or so, I'd say. Don't go beyond that, or else..."
    "Or else?"
    "I might end up... Possibly tearing you." A slight whimper from Ray but she nodded. Soon pulling the can off and noticing a decent increase in terms of volume of his size. Gently stroking it with her hands and working his shaft a little; still heated and leaking out pre. "I think you'll be okay, but don't push it any further please."
    "I-I won't. Thank you." The feline climbed back on top of him, whimpering when that click was heard and the leash was connected back onto her collar. Sharing a gentle kiss, at first, and then a progressively rougher one as they synchronized in breaths. Pawing and stroking at each other as that spire throbbed against her still leaking sex.
    Only to feel her hand reach down and keep it still as she pressed herself down onto it, releasing a few whimpers as the flare spread her folds apart. Making quite the difference from before as it nearly felt like she was taking on someone twice her size! Pushing herself to take in at least the tip, being weary of any warning signs but none came.
    And soon was the sudden give of his flare; sliding inside her with relative ease but still stretching the feline's vent wide! Leaving the two in pants for a few moments before Ray descended again, feeling that thick flare climb up her hall as it throbbed. Releasing several jolts of pre before reaching her cervix, needing to shift around a little bit before she could slide most of Dae's new girth into her. At least on a technical standpoint.
    Every twitch of that spire made her lightly jerk and whimper at the warning signs. Pleasurable ones, but ones telling the feline that the weapon's current dimensions were dangerously close to her limits. Taking a few minutes to pant and get used to it as the dragon gently reached for her hand. Being patient with Ray as she took her time, occasionally squeezing his paw out of instinct from the waves of bliss passing through her.
    After a bit the tabby began to move and shift slowly, lifting herself up and gently lowering herself over the large girth. Still needing to take a moment to whimper loudly and grip the malehood tightly with her sex as it released a few more jolts. Every movement causing more and more of his seed, both pre and post, to leak out and make quite the mess over his crotch and pants.
    Along with occasionally reaching a climax herself, dying his light brown fur with her own juices as her body reached peak stimulation over and over. Blushing deeply, then more so with the occasional tug on that leash, pulling her down to meet Dae's muzzle with a tender kiss. Then letting her try another few gallops over him.
    It took quite a while for her to do a few rotations before needing to stop, and swearing that whatever release she was leaking was constantly being refilled, if not more. Still getting slight pressure warnings in her lower belly, but it felt amazing. Giving her plenty of time to enjoy it while helping the feline keep her balance, the glider did what he could to hold back his jolts.
    However, he could only do so much when she started moving faster and faster. Not going too high at least, but enough for those fluffy chest pillows to bounce freely. Rushing him towards a second climax indicated by his growls and huffs, wanting to make the moments last as long as possible. When the dragon started to lightly squirm underneath though, Ray only rode him harder.
    A near hissing whine was the cue that he went past the point of no return, causing the orange one to bounce heavily on his tower as she swore it began thickening up inside her. Nearly locking her in place as her own body stiffened in an orgasm, and then soon detecting that pressure within her belly grow... A lot. A lot, a lot! Making it press outwards in roundness more and more as a flood of hot cum began filling her womb. Leaving her in whimpers as she tried to take as many pumps of his seed as possible, until it began to signal actual pains!
    Pulling herself off and letting that thick horn spray it's white paint over her outer sex and undertail. Taking a half-step back and letting it soak her belly and chest, actually reaching up to her face as well as she lapped at the vanilla icing. Absolutely drenching Daegan's shirt, the couch, and some of the nearby furniture as she stroked him off to satisfaction. A little stunned at how much the glider was able to release as he laid there panting. "I think..." He panted. "We need a shower."
    "Another one, yes." Ray giggled at him, leaning over and pressing that round belly against his; nevermind any mess in the slightest and giving him an embrace with a kiss. "I take it you're done for the evening?" She teased, obviously knowing the answer as he groaned.
    "Trust me, it only escalates from here on out." The feline gave him a puzzled look as he blushed. "A... Previous girlfriend of mine ended up wondering where my limit was..."
    "And?"
    "And I ended up filling a full box of condoms that night." A laugh from the orange one. "Please don't say you want to break that record-"
    "I don't want to break that record, don't worry." Ray smooched him. "But... If you're willing to help me..."
    "With your bust 'problem'?" He purred, getting her to blush this time. "I'll do what I can, but we'll do some research about it, just to be sure. Until then." Another kiss.
    "Shower time?"
    "Shower time-" The glider was suddenly interrupted by the raising of her orange fur (well, the parts that weren't wet). Soon getting a tense reaction out of the feline in his arms. "What's wrong?" Before she could speak, the dragon's ears flickered and he could feel a slight shaking from the ground. Getting heavier and heavier as the two got up from the couch and headed to a doorway, almost losing balance when the tremors became immense!
    Decor began falling off of shelves before they were vibrated off the walls. Plates and dishes began smashing onto the floors in the kitchen, and all the two could do was embrace each other while pressing against the doorway spine. Watching in horror as the floor began to tear up, and create a massive fissure within the house, disabling the power and bringing in the sharp sting of the cold as pipes were torn apart. Leaks of water and the sounds of car alarms going off in the distance as the shakes began to die down.
    The dragon and tabby were left almost shaken, trying to take some form of shelter against the invading cold as they attempted to look over the damage. However, something caught Daegan's eye down below in the abyss; a red light of sorts. Getting only faint flashes as the emergency light began displaying something in pulses... "What the...?
    "What is it?" Ray nearly whimpered, following his sight and making out... Tanks? Large tanks filled with liquids. And... Bodies floating in them. Slowly recognizing the shape of felines... A goat... And a Glider-

    "Oh, what the Taath!" The red wyrm hissed loudly, his voice echoing through the large cave and slowly being silenced by the large piles of gold. His spines raised high up as if creating shadow puppets on the walls from the large bonfire nearby, making the black dragon across from him chuckle. "Are you kidding me!? Clones!?"
    "Don't blame me, Eura. Blame the-"
    "Blame the dice- I mean, cards. Yeah, yeah." The larger red one snorted. "But-! Just-!" He groaned loudly.
    "It is quite a typical twist, isn't it?"
    "Very much so." A grumble as he finished his bowl of wine. "I might be done for the night."
    "It would be a good place to stop. Especially since..." The black one purred, getting up and nuzzling the larger wyrm. Turning those crimson scales into a deep shade of purple around the ears and muzzle.
    "S-since...?"
    "I'd like to try some leash-play, if you don't mind~" A much deeper purr while the larger one whined. Staring into the smaller one's eyes with 'Scare-rousal'.

    "...O-okay."
