>”What's in the Iron Mountains?”.
Yaaay, start over!

“What's in the Iron Mountains?”, you ask, figuring you might as well gather more information, especially because you're still an explorer, and Bryld might need some further guesses as to how to draw her maps.

“Iron”, Susanna answers with an amused snort, “Sorry. They were called like that because of the iron, really. There's so much of it you can trip on ore if you're not careful”.

You raise an eyebrow, you've heard that there's places like that, so rich in iron ore that you can literally trip and fall on it as you walk around; it would have been good to visit such places, you're pretty sure they would be looking for miners all year around, an easy source of work, if back-breaking.

“Shouldn't there be mines, then? From when the Shadow Marches were colonized”, you wonder, and Susanna scratches her head near the stubby horns.

“There are, but they're mostly crumbled”, she confirms, “That said, I wouldn't venture inside, for one because the tunnels are claustrophobic, and for another because there's iron wyverns living near the peak”.

You remember about those, they've already mentioned them. Fortunately, they apparently don't look for prey on this side of the mountain, meaning you're unlikely to stumble into one. And that's good, because it sound like the kind of encounter you would want to avoid at all costs.

“Claustrophobic for you, they were built for humans”, Astreya chuckles, “But I get what you say. Besides, the disastromorphism might have changed the tunnel layout”.

“That'd make it only fit for dungeon crawler and other crazy adventurers”, Susanna agrees, “Are you that kind of person? I forget”.

“Not without a full party”, the magic user smiles. It seems to be a thing that has to do with adventuring, you've heard it thrown around quite often.

Fug, it didn't copy right.

Iron Mountains huh, well at least the iron doesn't seem easy to get a hold of. Hopefully it takes quite a while before anyone tries to get at them.

Looking forward to seeing elfbutt and bunnybutt again!

“Did anything ever come out of the tunnels?”, you wonder. Especially considering the recent circumstances, you don't think this is a stupid question to ask, or at least not as stupid as it may sound.

“No. Not that I know of at least”, Susanna sighs, probably thinking the same thing you just thought, “But considering the recent developments I should probably go and have a look, better safe than sorry”.

“That might be a good idea, but please don't delve inside, it can be really dangerous, especially for someone of your size”, Astreya recommends.

“I wasn't even thinking of going inside”, the ogre reassures, and you're actually a little relieved. You've never been inside a mine yourself, but you've heard they tend to be quite claustrophobic even for human-sized people, let alone a giantess.

“We're better get going now, wouldn't want to miss the night”, Astreya turns and offers you a smile, “We're all busy people, after all”.

Susanna nods, “Farewell, and be safe. I look forward to your next visit, autarch”.

“And I look forward to finding you well”.

“What's this full party you mentioned, by the way?”, you ask when you're outside, while waving back to the two arachne.

“Mh? Oh”, and Astreya just chuckles, “Just some adventuring jargon, don't mind it. It means I won't go in there alone”.

“Speaking of being left alone”, Yomi interrupts, raising a hand, “With your leave, mistress...”.

It's actually odd to hear him call her mistress, especially with that tone; it sounded unusually formal. It's not as strange to see Astreya take his request in stride and give him a smile and a wave, “By all means dear Yomi, you are free to go fulfil my friend's request”.

He gives her a sharp nod, then shoots you a glance, “Remember our deal, bitch”, is all he says before taking to the skies; his tiny bat wings extending unnaturally and growing in size all of a sudden.

He sure flies fast.

>Continue

>>41505070
He better, when he won't even do it as a favor!

That doesn't mean you're flying slowly. As a matter of fact, you're much faster than Yomi.

And this is quite unnerving, as you're still not used to magical flight at all, and are squeezing Astreya probably a little harder than you should, while you clasp your thighs together as hard as possible to grasp on the relatively thin yet very hard staff that keeps you both afloat and alive.

You still can't see much of the landscape beneath you, except near the end of the trip, where the very first hint of dawnbreak in the distant horizon sheds some more light on the Shadow Marches. However, seeing how that scene is behind you and you're not too comfortable turning around in such a precarious position, you can't get much of that advance sunrise, which you're sure you still wouldn't be able to see if you were at ground level.

Which means that when you land, it's still just before dawnbreak, and you can only barely see around once you climb down next to Astreya's house. Your legs are killing you, two trips like that in a row are too much and the constant feeling of pain pulsating from your thighs to all adjacent areas is making walking difficult. You're pretty sure most of this is happening because you're not used to this particular effort, and being extremely nervous about the possibility of falling made your muscles work twice as hard for twice as much of a waste of energy.

“Well that wasn't that terrible was it?”, Astreya asks before covering her yawning mouth, which not only is contagious but helps remind you that you still haven't slept. At all.

Magic users have weird lives.

“I really need to rest and take it easy. With Yomi away I'll probably be lazy all day and just take a well-deserved rest”, she chuckles, glancing back at her house and then at you, “Would you like to come in? Or would you rather sleep at home?”.

>Follow Astreya in her house.
>Excuse yourself and go to your place.
>Other?

>>41505308
>>Follow Astreya in her house.

>>41505308
>Follow Astreya in her house.

Let's do what she says, even if she's not calling in the thing.

>>41505308
>Excuse yourself and go to your place.

>>41505342
I thought that'd be later?

>>41505308
>Excuse yourself and go to your place.

>>41505308
>Follow Astreya in her house.
Ah shit, I was missing this.

>>41505459
Good thing you caught it then, Lillith-withdrawal is a serious issue touching DOZENS of anons every year. Consult your local physician for more information.

Deciding it's not nice to turn down invitations, and that besides, it's a little early for ordinary people and you wouldn't want to wake Bryld or Tahenohan up as they're likely taking a well-deserved rest, you accept Astreya's invitation and follow her inside.

It's quite strange to be inside with her and not have Yomi around. You know for a fact he's not there, and actually quite far away. You realize just now how strange it is to see a demonologist without her familiar at hand. The house feels emptier, as if it's missing something, and every time you look at her and see her open sliding doors by herself, put her staff down and remove her shoes on her own while preparing something to drink that looks like tea, you can't help but feel something's missing.

“Just a moment and I'll give you something to drink. Don't underestimate thirst, we've been active all night after all”, she assures. The sofas and the bookcases all around you felt a lot closer during your earlier visits, as if you've realized just now that this house isn't as small as you first thought, at least not when there's just two of you inside.

She brings back a platter full of butter biscuits and a jug of cold tea, with two glasses, which she places on the table in the middle. She then sits right next to you, careful not to sit on your tail and not to hit your horns with hers, who are actually larger now that you have the time to look at her more closely. You even feel her sleeves (detachable, as you've had the chance to find out earlier) brush against yours, and her thighs touching yours, so close she is to you.

“If you feel drowsy feel free to lie down. I've been doing this for decades”, she chuckles, patting your hand, “And please help yourself to the cookies and tea”.

>”Would you rather sleep?”.
>”Is it unusual for Yomi to leave your side?”.
>”What did you find out with this trip?”.
>”Would you like me to move away a bit?”.
>Other?

>>41505681
>”Is it unusual for Yomi to leave your side?”.
>Try not to imagine you and streya rubbing bodies throughout the night, fail.

>>41505681
>”What did you find out with this trip?”.

>>41505681
>”What did you find out with this trip?”.
>Try not to imagine you and Astreya rubbing bodies throughout the night, fail.
Nice thinking anon.

>>41505681
>”Would you rather sleep?”.
Not a proposition, even if that might be nice.

>>41505721
B-but that's lewd anon...

>>41505872
No.
>Astreya has larger horns
THAT'S lewd

>>41505872
It's what I do.

“What did you find out during this trip?”, you ask, trying to distract yourself from the thought of Astreya rubbing against you through the nothing that's left of the night. Well, for the rest of the oncoming morning would be more realistic. You take a cookie and some tea to help yourself, but she's always right there next to you, and every time she adjusts her position her hip presses against you and her thighs keep brushing against yours, even her feet do the same.

“Not as much as I hoped, but more than I realistically thought”, she answers, taking a cookie herself, and leaning up against you a little as she eats it, still careful to not hit you with her horns. You've always found that horns can get in the way of certain intimate acts if you're not careful, kissing in particular. You presume she knows this quite well.

And now you're back to square one in not imagining anything lewd with her.

She pats your leg idly, near the knee, and then a bit around at the thigh, brushing gently and massaging as if trying to ease the rock hard tension from the return trip. Your muscles are going to ache like hell when you'll stand up.

“You know, I had kind of forgotten how it's like to be all alone. Without Yomi, I mean”, she chuckles, caressing your leg some more, “I quite like and value your company, don't worry. It's just that I rarely send him out”.

She takes another biscuit, leaning further on you as she eats it, her hand resting behind you, brushing the base of your tail on its way down. You're also confident that the soft, warm pressure you're feeling on your upper arm is the side of her breast, through her rather silky clothes, “It's funny, it's been a long while since it's been just me and someone else at home. Without my familiar around”.

>”Would you rather sleep (alone)?”.
>”Would you rather... “Sleep”?”.
>”Are you uncomfortable without your familiar?”.
>”Are you actually hitting on me?”.
>”I really should go”.
>Other?

>>41506093
>"Uuuuuuh..."
>”Are you uncomfortable without your familiar?”.

>>41506093
>”Are you actually hitting on me?”.
>”Would you rather... “Sleep”?”.

>>41506093
>Would you rather... “Sleep”?”.
Oh my. I did not expect this, at all.

>>41506093
>"Doesn't it get tiring to be around one person so much? How'd you adjust to Yomi when you summoned him?"
Sure lewd is great, but I want to know this first! Summons could be quite relevant for us apparently.

B-but what about the butts, anons!?

>>41506093
>>”Are you actually hitting on me?”.

>>41506155
We will have time for that when Yomi collects Lilith's part of the deal. The mood right now won't be around forever.
>>41506185
There is no routelock, and if you knew Tahenohan would be all over this.

>>41506225
Yeah but she's not around to be all over this ;_;

>>41506093
>”Are you actually hitting on me?”.
>”Would you rather... “Sleep”?”.
I wonder if this is because Lillith revealed/confirmed her secret, of if it's because Yomi is away and she has privacy.

Asking if she's hitting on us seems counterproductive to getting actual lewd anons. Bit of a moodkiller.

>>41506262
turn towards her, lean into her, heads a few centimetres apart: "Astreya, could you be hitting on me?"

>>41506297
>Lillith being anywhere near that smooth
>im-fucking-plying

>>41506311
Oh ye, of little faith. Unlike Anons and most quest MCs, Lillith is not a shy or awkward teenager and has no social anxiety.

>>41506327
That may be but she's still un-smooth as fuck. Just look to last thread's lake-chat for a recent example.

>>41506350
That was different. She had secrets to keep/reveal.

This can't be a coincidence, she's practically brushing herself all against you, you feel her warm breast on your arm, and it's as firm as it looks from the outside with the silky clothes in the way; her constant caressing of your inner thighs is giving you a reaction that's quite unique of your particular condition down there, making you wonder if she's exploiting this by accident or because she's handled people with your peculiarity already.

You feel tired, and sleepy, but once other things get rock hard down there you find it difficult to sleep, and easier to get into other kind of activities.

“So...”, you feel your tail moving on its own, the tip waggling lightly in anticipation as you close your legs, trying to not be too obvious as to what your feelings are on the matter, “I take it not having your familiar around is a welcome experience for you. You're probably not used to having some actual alone time any more... Or are you?”.

She chuckles some more, fidgeting with a lock of your hair as she half-turns, leaning closer until her horns touch yours, lightly, but it's still enough to produce a very low, very dull sound. Unfortunately the bone isn't really sensitive away from the base, but her breast is now pushing against yours, and that's an area where you definitely have the size advantage.

“Well, let's just say it doesn't happen often that I'm all alone, on my own, in this empty house so far away from the rest of the village...”, her finger runs down your spine until it slows down, sending a warm chill all over it as it crosses to the base of your leathery tail, following it for a while, “Thinking about it, no one could hear us now. You could be doing anything to me and none would be the wiser”.

You manage to spy a widening of her smile as she leans in closer to your ear, “... Just about anything, really”.

>Time to put your rock hard condition to good use.
>Time to excuse yourself and pull out while you still can.
>Other?

>>41506414
>Time to put your rock hard condition to good use.
Forgive me anons.

>>41506414
>Time to put your rock hard condition to good use.

Should I apologize for potentially starting this?

>>41506414
>>Time to excuse yourself and pull out while you still can.

>>41506414
>Time to put your rock hard condition to good use.
This wording, hahaha

>>41506414
>Time to put your rock hard condition to good use.
I dunno, I don't mind too much but it feels weird. Mostly surprised our first* could be with Astreya of all people.

*As in the quest first, I'm aware Lillith isn't a virgin.

>>41506527
Hey, two horny people all alone in a hut.

And one of them has 3 horns.

>>41506414
>Time to put your rock hard condition to good use.
So smooth. Gonna try it irl later.

>>41506557
That's an awful pun anon. SHAME! SHAAAME!


Am I the only one paranoid as hell and contemplating if Yomi's whole deal was an excuse to set this up and test Lillith for some nebulous and unclear reason?

Not that we should let that stop us, mind.

>>41506557
Her horns are bigger than Lillith's, but is Lillith's third horn even bigger than them?

>>41506582
>God fucking damn this dumbass horny cunt.
>I get off on making people miserable, dumb bitch. Stop trying to get me in your lame-ass bed.
>Maybe this shitstain of a futa tiefling will help.

Is this lewdness compensation for making us wait two whole weeks for more Tiefling adventures?

Turning to Astreya, you look at her straight in the eye, a befuddled expression on you. “Miss Astreya! Are you, perchance, hitting on me?”, you catch her chin while she's still extended towards you; it's soft and the bone beneath feels actually a bit more pointy than you expected, you have to make a considerable effort to forget that she's old enough to be your grand-grandmother (or maybe even older), because the more you're enraptured by her ageless beauty and the more awkward this situation feels.

Then again, you presume that she has at least as much sex drive as anyone else, and your rock hard condition makes it easy to ignore the dictates of common sense and, sometimes, even basic decency. However, you're quite sure that in this case it's justified. What if having Yomi around all the time means she isn't getting any? What if she's sexually frustrated because she's a demonologist?

A small part of you wonders if she does this kind of thing with Yomi, actually, but you push it back to that part of your head where you stove all the things you ignore.

“That won't do, miss”, you sternly shake your head, grabbing her shoulder while you quickly move your fingers under her clothes, looking for a way to detach her sleeves, “You went completely out of line, I'm afraid I have no choice but to punish you”.

That was a bit of a gamble you did, but considering her flush, and the sound her subtle yet barely contained moans make as you move in to kiss her, you suspect your guess was spot-on. You push her down on the comfortable sofa as you very, very slowly and painfully try to climb up and turn around at the same time while your thighs protest violently, especially at the turning motion.

The way she clings on your clothes can't be a coincidence, you can accidentally grab someone's breast, but squeezing right where your nipple is and rubbing it between her knuckles from across the fabric is no accident.

>Let's see how she rides this staff, then.

>>41506722
O-oh my

Well you know, there are many kinds of adventure.

That's the first time captcha made be pick 4 images.

It's morning.

… Like hell it's morning, it's way too bright and hot to be morning. No, wait, it's always way too bright and hot, it's the Shadow Marches after all. You wonder what kind of dim-witted fool called these lands “Shadow” anything, they should be the scorching, bug-infested marches if anything, although you have to admit it does feel nicer when you're in the shade and there's enough wind to compensate the atrociously high humidity.

It would be a lot better if you would just get rid of the Prontera-style clothing and get some of the more “indigenous” style that unfortunately isn't popular in Reboldeux. You've seen plenty of villagers and even city-dwellers in the Shadow Marches wear them, though: light fabrics, barely enough to cover the necessary, and yet very desirable. The skirts and shorts are mostly meant as frayed pieces of cloth whose main purpose is to keep insects from crawling up on your legs, and sometimes people don't even wear shirts, not even the women, although that was quite rare in Reboldeux and you don't remember seeing anyone doing this in New Royo.

As you idly wonder what time it is, you realize you've been drooling on Astreya's shoulder for quite a while now. Fortunately, she's still asleep and beneath you, but you can't recall how you ended up on the floor, albeit you remember very well how the two of you ended up naked.

You slowly pull up, feeling a wet, soft ripping sound as your sweaty breasts separate from her sweaty back. You're both going to need showers, the constant heat and sweating is bad enough, but there's plenty of curious scents on the two of you right now.

You were so tired you fell asleep shortly after the act, but you seem to recall you've been at it for quite a while while you were in the mood.

You pull away from Astreya's naked form. You stare at her back for a moment as she peacefully sleeps on the floor, maybe with less grace than you would have wanted to see her, but still naturally beautiful in her normality. You really can't put an age on her no matter how hard you try: her body is of a rather ordinary banana shape, but her backside is quite firm, and her shapely legs indicate physical fitness rather than a youth's natural advantage in appearing a sexy good mate.

And her horns are really large, almost as fun to grab as her firm breasts, the right size for your hands, funny how she seemed to get way more excited when you grabbed her horns, though, though you can sort of understand her, having the same equipment in that part.

Before you get more ideas, you decide to stand up and cover at least your lower body before that part of you gets even more ideas. Not that either of you seemed to mind, but you really have stuff that needs to be done, and you don't want to think too hard about how late it is in the morning. Or should you say noon? Or maybe even early afternoon?

You sneak in the kitchen and find yourself to deal with the limited but still comfortable space once again; even if it's not your first time in Astreya's place you can't claim to be familiar with it. After much drawer opening, you find that her pantry features bread (some of which is a bit hard), several fresh-looking and very local vegetables, herbs that you sometimes can't recognize and plenty of spices. She has an assortment of biscuits too, in addition to a reserve of tea and a much larger quantity of coffee available.

It's not much, she probably doesn't often eat at home, or she's running out of stuff.

*Jam*

You decide it's etter to eat light in this heat, despite all the exercise you got you should save heavier, heartier meals for dinner as you won't have much to do but relax before going to sleep. Or so you were thinking, but you end up making quite a bit, especially after the constant growling your stomach makes in protest, for having been left without a proper meal for quite long. You even use some of the bread: you mince it and cast it on the salad mix to a quite good effect, if you can say so yourself.

A sudden, electric feeling slithers up your back with the speed of crawling lightning as something grabs your tail and a clasped hand gently brushes up to the base on your back, making you wince to the point you almost jump. You however have enough wits to not make the mistake of suddenly turning around and feel Astreya hug you from behind, her impressive horns entering the edges of your field of view, and her naked breast pressing against your back; you even feel the hair from her lower body with the base of your tail, which you try not to waggle as it's in the sort of position that would make it trivially easy to arouse her again.

Not that it would be a bad thing as you're completely certain she's consenting, but you actually have plenty of things to do, though you are admittedly feeling a lot better after last night. Or this morning, rather. You can even forget about the thigh pain, even though it still makes you walk funny, with an awkward limp that doesn't seem right.

“Breakfast's ready”, you announce, and she gives a very subtle nod as she hums in understanding.

“Say”, she starts, yawning before continuing, “About earlier on... I wasn't too pushy, was I?”, you can see her glancing up from your shoulder, and from her straight stare you can tell she's expecting a honest answer.

>”You were, yeah”.
>”A bit, but that's not a bad thing”.
>”You pushed as much as I pulled”.
>”Not at all”.
>”Why?”.
>Other?

Aggressive~

>>41507723
>”Not at all”.
>”Why?”.

“You pulled as much as I pulled”, you answer with a smile, “I admit I was a little surprised at first, I wasn't expecting to be hit on, but I honestly can't say I disliked it”.

She chuckles, squeezing you a little from behind, “Oh, I know, it's just that... Well, I guess my behaviour explains quite a few things about me”, she takes a deep breath and lets out a satisfied, relaxed sigh, “I spend most of my life with a demon and deal with monsters more often than I do with other humans. I've heard plenty of people say that adventurers are quite liberal when it comes to sex, and I'm afraid that, in their eyes, I would count as some kind of sexual predator seeing how easily I jump on potential partners”.

You kind of understand what she means; there's little taboos that you've encountered in matters relating to sex, but then again you didn't have that many partners all considered, and you only had one at a time, not discounting occasional sex... Which again, only really happened when adventurers were involved, with one particular episode springing to mind.

Most people would expect you to at least bother courting a little, or enter a monogamous relationship after bedding someone, or at least not do that with multiple partners. Sure, exceptions happen all the time, but they're relatively rare, and most people can't really keep these kind of relationships.

However, between Tahenohan's plan to get Bryld to lose her virginity in a threesome and the ease with which Astreya seized a chance give you the impression that these people are much more confident and easy-going about sex. You presume that's just natural if you consider Astreya likely has about a century worth of life experience more than you do, and some taboos likely no longer make sense to her.

Fuckbuddies?

“Do you... Do this often?”, you ask, out of curiosity, “It must be difficult to establish a long-lasting relationship considering your field...”.

“It is”, she sighs, letting you go so she can pull back and go look for her clothes, which she finds, collects and puts away, switching to a practically transparent gown. Not that there's much to hide as you've seen all there is to see of her naked body, “Partly because I used to move around and partly because, well, I deal with monsters more than I do with humans”.

She then pauses, looking up at you as you try to not stare at her body through the very light and very airy light blue gown, “Oh, did you mean with just humans or...?”.

“Well, did you like it at least?”, you decide to change topic before her sex tales start to become uncomfortable.

“Oh but of course I did”, and she sits, eagerly eyeing the bowl of salad you've prepared and waiting until you sit down as well, with all the time it takes due to your still tremendously aching thighs, “It's not often that I get to toy with a woman's body while also being-”.

“If I don't sound too... Intruding”, you interrupt her again before the conversation goes in places that are too explicit for a blue board, “Who do you usually do this with if you have a hard time finding available humans? Like...”, you pause, wondering whether to ask or not, “Do you do it with Yomi, too?”.

“Hmmm...”, she ponders a bit as she feeds herself, “Not that much. Not all demons like or even understand sex, and I'm afraid he doesn't get off much with me. In general, not just in bed”, she chuckles, “He's got eye for this kind of thing, he understood the kind of person I was the moment I summoned him. And that's why I knew he was the best fit to be my familiar”.

>”So are we a couple now?”.
>”You don't mind if I have other partners?”.
>”I take it this was a one-off thing? No broken hearts if either of us leave?”.
>Other?

>>41508506
>"Wasn't it tiring to be stuck with one person every day? Especially one with such an...abrasive personality?"

>>41508506
>”I take it this was a one-off thing? No broken hearts if either of us leave?”.
I mean, I wouldn't mind occasional fuckbuddy status, but...

>>41508506
>”So are we a couple now?”.

>>41508506

And backing >>41508569

>>41508506
>”You don't mind if I have other partners?”

“So this was a one-off thing? No broken hearts if either of us leave?”, you ask, “I mean it was a bit sudden and I didn't really think of the long-term relationship implications”.

“That's because there were none, my dear”, she smiles amiably, “I wanted sex, you wanted sex... I know it sounds whimsical if you put it this way, but with the kind of life I lead, long-lasting relationships just aren't viable. How can I spend the rest of my life with someone who will age while I will, at best, mutate even further, becoming less and less human as time goes?”.

You nod in understanding, “That and your familiar. Don't you ever get tired or lonely spending all your time with someone with such an... Abrasive personality?”.

She chuckles, shaking her head and flipping her index finger, “Dear Lillith, of course I don't, don't make me explain it... You have all the pieces of this little puzzle, I'm sure you're smart enough to be able to put them together”.

You decide to drop that issue and return to your ordinary sex conversation, “So you're okay if I have other partners rather than staying with you?”.

“I'm not okay with that. I want you to go out with someone other than me”, she sounds serious, and points her fork at you to underline her statement, “I already told you I'm a terrible choice for a long-term engagement, you should go and have ordinary partners that will stay with you, that you can make families and spend your life with. Don't take my example of jumping on someone as soon as they're in the mood for sex, extrapolate that behaviour, instead, and apply it to the rest of your life by not letting your chances slip from you”, she winks, “Find someone to be happy with, almost everyone that does dies with a smile”.

>”Do you not want a family of your own?”.
>”What can you tell me about monster partners?”.
>”Did you ever meet someone you wanted to spend your life with?”.
>”I really must leave”.
>Other?

>>41508866
>”What can you tell me about monster partners?”.

>>41508866

Think Tahe might've peeked somehow?

;_;

>>41509009
Soon, anon, soon.
I want to meet them as much as you, but this is an excellent moment for exposition and curiosity.

“What can you tell me about monster partners?”, you didn't initially consider this, but as a matter of fact, being an autarch and dealing with monsters on an almost daily basis would mean that people like Astreya would also rely on them for sex more than they would with humans. Now this isn't a surprising thing, for one because you're a priestess of Ishtar and for another because there wouldn't be stories about people having sex with weird things if there wasn't a grain of truth behind it.

“I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific”, she chuckles, “I should also tell you I know more about male monsters, as that's my preference, I don't know whether you prefer male or female partners, but I suppose that's something for another chat”, she gives you a bright smile, “It really depends, in the Shadow Marches most monsters are wary of humans and approaching them for sex can be a little difficult. I suppose harpies and mermaids are never difficult to approach if you have a penis, but...”.

“I don't want to be raped”, you state, and she nods in understanding.

“Unless you have very... Peculiar tastes, you have to go find someone that is at least in part humanoid; I presume you could help the arachne out repopulating, for one thing”, and she chuckles, holding her hands out in apology, “I'm sorry, I'm sorry... But don't worry, I don't think Arianna will really rape you. She just might be more pushy than I was”.

There's also the fact she's over half a ton of giant spider whose hair is coated in irritating oil, there are plenty of things that can go wrong there, even in a consensual encounter.

“Monsters are so different from each other that there's really no hard and fast rule. I, for one, have a preference for alraune but that's just me...”.

>”Do you not want a family of your own?”.
>”Did you ever meet someone you wanted to spend your life with?”.
>”I really must leave”.
>Other?

>>41509179
>”I really must leave”.
The other questions feel too prying for me.

>>41509179
>”Do you not want a family of your own?”.
Alraunes, eh?

>>41509179
>”Do you not want a family of your own?”.
>”I really must leave”.

>>41509179
>>”I really must leave”.

I think we've been over it mostly.

>>41509179
>”I really must leave”.

There's still one question you have left, and it relates to whether Astreya would like to have a family of her own or not. Considering her age, she might even had one in the past, and it would even be possible that she outlived her children, assuming she had them while she still didn't attain that physical agelessness she has right now.

However, as you've travelled and met plenty of people around, you know this is... Not really a touchy subject in general, but something you know the answer to most of the time: women have a harder time mixing family and adventuring, or other high-risk occupations such as fighting, than men, simply for the part where biology dictates they carry the children inside their bodies.

If she was a man, she might have spread several children amongst the monster populace without possibly ever knowing, but considering she's a woman, she'd have been the one stuck with the child, and the child would in turn be stuck growing up with Yomi.

It's a matter to which you've had plenty of chances to give thought to in your life, especially since you have both options available. One of them, however, would make your job as an explorer quite challenging, at least in the latter stages of pregnancy.

Not wanting to bother Astreya further, you finish your meal (you're pretty sure it's lunch by now) and finally finish dressing, because while it might be okay to walk around bare-breasted in the indigenous culture, you don't quite feel like being the first to reintroduce such a custom. “Thank you, Astreya, but now I really must go”.

She gives you the brightest smile back, “I should be the one thanking you, Lillith. Do come and visit again when you have time”.

When you finally make it out of the magic user's house, you feel a lot better, and it's not just because of the sex, the chance to actually sleep and the food. You can't quite explain it, you just feel better about yourself.

Which is good, as you have quite many a thing to catch up with.
