"Think about where you wanna go eat later, horndog.. I'll be back <3 "

With that, Seika slipped on her two-piece and left her spent younger bro to recover in their room. The blonde G-Shep was never one to turn down a frolic with him, but she wondered where he was getting all his energy from. She had actually worried they might not be used to the thin air up in these mountains, but her well-tended nethers pooh-poohed that concern. 

Seika had to admit that the hotel's hillside perch made for a great venue for its pool. Several youngsters splashed and swam in the crystal clear water before a breathtaking backdrop of rolling earth and forest. It gave Seika a different kind of tingle just looking at it. She was so glad they decided to stop in the mountains on the way to the west coast. Their destination promised a wild, crazy time, so it was nice to take a deep cleansing breath here before plunging in. 

Seika did just that, arcing gracefully off the diving board into the drink. The temperature had a chilly nibble to it, but that suited Seika just fine. As Seika surfaced and caught her breath, she noticed a couple of her fellow swimmers looking her way, perhaps noticing her impromptu dive. Some were bolstered by her display and were climbing out to make for the board. Others self-consciously looked away, except one: a small, striking white-furred little girl sitting on the side of the pool. 

Seika had never seen someone quite like her before. She first picked up on the deer qualities: dainty, cloven hooves kicked at the water, and two decent-sized horns sprouted from her head. Then she noticed other things sprouting from her, quite botanical in nature: ears that may as well been basswood leaves, a tail that was cosplaying as a vine if it wasn't one already, and faint but intriguing green swirls decorating her fur like runes. As Seika drew closer, she saw that the little one's skin was a healthy green, and the white fur thinned to expose it in decorative ways. She certainly was a unique sight to behold. And she was smiling and staring right at Seika.

"It um, it looks like you're really good at that," said her admirer in greeting. She seemed to bounce with a bit of nervous energy as she kept right on smiling.

"Why, thank you, dear," responded Seika with honey-sweet graciousness. "I do love to swim back home, but those pools aren't quite the jewel that this one is." 

The fawn nodded, "Yeah, I like coming here too. My folks are friends with the owners, so I get to play here whenever I want."

"Oh, you must get to meet a lot of interesting people that come through here, then," Seika surmised as she rested her elbows on the poolside and extended a paw. "I might not be interesting, but I'm Seika. Nice to meetcha."

With a giggle, the white-furred girl replied, "Polly," she started, and then she added with an eye roll, "well, Poly*hymnia*."

"But Polly's--"

"Yeah, Polly's fine." They both giggled.

They had a heck of a time. They had an underwater tea party to see how long they could hold their breath (Polly won that one), Seika helped Polly get over her fear of going for it off the diving board (usually she just frog-flopped from the side and called it a dive), and then Polly wrangled some of the other guests into an impromptu game of Marco Polo. All through it, though, Seika was noticing something odd about her new friend. It wasn’t that she was clingy, but she sure was *interested* in Seika. She always kept her in sight (unless she was It in 'Polo >_> ), never strayed too far away without coming right back. But she also seemed mighty distracted sometimes, a gradual escalation of that nervous fidget of hers when she introduced herself. It’d come in an unexpected shudder, or a lost train of thought, and it’d usually be accompanied by an absent wringing of her hands.. or a squeeze of her thighs.

Seika was catching her breath and sipping a refreshing beverage from the poolside bar when her friend’s “concerns” reached a head. Polly had been sitting cross-legged next to her chair when she suddenly sprung up.

“I’m.. um.. I'm having a lot of fun, Ms. Seika.”

“I am too, sweetie. But I was wore out before I got here, and now I need a vacation from the vacation I was taking from my vacation.”

They giggled a little at that, and Polly shuffled her feet. Seika finally picked up on the mood shift and asked, “Are you okay, dear?” 

Polly pshawed, “Yeah! Yeah, I’m fine! Ohhhh yes, I’m just... um, Ms. Seika, do you think I’m.. um.. “

“Do I think you’re...?”

“Do you think I’m... well, cute?” 

Seika eyed her friend for a second. There was something funny going on. Seika was almost 100% certain that this little girl was trying to pick her up. That was amusing in itself, but the look on her face, that distraction, was reaching critical mass. Polly was practically about to start waving her hand to get Seika to answer quicker. 

Seika played along. Her voice sugary sweet, she answered, “Gosh, sweetie, I think you’re very cu--”

“OhyesFINALLY!”

Before giving the bewildered Seika a chance to respond to that, Polly gave a half-hearted “I really don’t give a rat’s ass” look around, and then leaned in to whisper something very brief and pointed into her companion’s ear. It’s hard to tell when a G-Shep was blushing. One could tell Seika was blushing.

“Whoa, um, whoa, wait, w--," Seika was knocked totally off tilt. She looked into Polly's expression for the "gotcha" smirk. It wasn't there. Then she blurted without thought, "Right *here*, now?!"

“mmmm-HMM. Yep. Right-now-right-now.” Polly tugged on Seika’s arms to coax her out of the chair, and then she unceremoniously spun the thing around to face away from the pool and plopped into it. She was.. something was burning up inside her, there was no mistaking it, but Polly was about ready to crawl out of her own skin from it. Without a second thought, Polly lewdly spread her legs, tugged aside the crotch of her suit, and mouthed silently while bouncing on her tush, “~hee--ee--lll--p!~”

Seika could not refuse such a desparate cry for help. There was no debate to be had about the matter. Without another word, Seika knelt before her stricken companion and set at once on her urgent task.

With gentle hands rubbing to comfort and steady the distressed dryad, Seika’s tongue dipped into the tender petals. She did freeze for a moment, just a moment, when her taste buds sent word to her befuddled brain that, “Hey, just letting you know, this doesn’t exactly taste like pussy.” Indeed, it was... huh. Well, minty wasn’t the right word for it. There was that tang, but it was exotic, Seika'd tell you that. Eating eucalyptus leaves was not one of her hobbies, but she wondered if this is what it tasted like to pandas. It was a bizarre, snappy, yet earthy kind of taste, and despite its unexpected deviation a normal girl's flavor, it did.. taste.. very.. *good*. Her tongue wanted nothing more than to coat itself in the elixir dripping this hot and bothered little creature. And with Polly hooking her leg around her neck and holding Seika's head close with her hand, she wasn't going anywhere until lapped up every last drop of this sweet honey.

And then Polly's little dam burst.

Polly handled it pretty well. She didn’t cry out, not at all. In fact, all she did was squeeze hard on one arm rest while frantically slapping the other a few times. It was adorable to watch. Seika, however...

“H-.. h.. hooooooooooowy... “ Seika jerked back, shook her head vigorously and smacked her lips a few times, even while Polly’s satisfied body sprinkled a few drops of gratitude all over Seika’s chest and tummy. It was concentrated.. something. It was a good something, mind you, but one would only take a teaspoon of it if they were going to post a challenge video on Youtube. 

Polly deftly made herself modest again and squatted in front of her bewildered savior. “Um... s-sorry about that.” 

Seika blinked a few times, shook it out one last time, and chuckled. “Wow. Eh heh. I, uh, I figure you really don’t warn anyone about, um, *that*, do ya?" She gave Polly's thigh an affectionate squeeze to let her know she'd make it.

“Eheh.. no. But, um, thank you.” 

Seika leaned forward and kissed the little nymph on her cheek. “Silly girl, don't you know you have mints *after* dinner, not before?”
