Fantasy Cursed Island

[Fangs9090]

Erina looked over from her pacing as Adran dropped, stopping where she was. "Wha... You just..."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Second circle," Adran winked, "It takes magic to keep me tied up." He walked over and put an arm around Erina's waist, "This is a lot easier when your hips aren't so high off the ground, you know."

 

[Fangs9090]

Erina blinked. "Right... I should probably sleep soon. I have a lot of work to get back to tomorrow." She seemed significantly less receptive to his flirting than usual.

 

[Darkling0096]

Adran frowned, that hadn't gone as planned at all. "Are you feeling alright?"

 

[Fangs9090]

Erina looked away. "I'm fine." Her tone suggested otherwise.

 

[Darkling0096]

"i'm in trouble, aren't I?" Adran sighed, "Is it because I got loose before you wanted me too?"

 

[Fangs9090]

Erina kept her eyes turned away and grumbled, but she didn't outright reply.

 

[Darkling0096]

Well now Adran just felt like a moron. "I didn't realize that meant so much to you," Adran shook his head, "I'm sorry."

 

[Fangs9090]

Erina shook her head as well. "Normally if something gets loose from my webs, it means I just lost food. I know it's not the case here, but still... The feelings stuck." She paused for a moment. "It's also a bit of blow to my ego when I fail to keep something secured..."

 

[Darkling0096]

"But you didn't fail," Adran tried to sound comforting, "I'm probably the only one in these ruins that can do that." He shook his head and tried to pull Erina into an apologetic hug. "It was a good knot, sweetheart, you could hold a dragon with that."

 

[Fangs9090]

Try as she might, Erina couldn't help but smile and leaned into him. "Mm... Thank you. That really means a lot to me."

 

[Darkling0096]

A smile cracked Adran's face as well, "You're welcome," he looked her over again, her human form was definitely better looking up close. "How are you getting used to two legs?"

 

[Fangs9090]

"I'm getting the hang of it. It still feels precarious, but I'm managing."

 

[Darkling0096]

"That's good," Adran nodded, "You know, you've got rather fetching legs like this." He winked as he said that. Let it never be said Adran didn't have priorities.

 

[Fangs9090]

"They feel meaty and heavy, but I suppose if they're to hold all my weight, they need to be."

 

[Darkling0096]

Adran smiled and moved is hands down to Erina's thighs, "You know, women on the surface would kill to have legs like these."

 

[Fangs9090]

Erina giggled. "I guess no matter my form, I'm still blessed with a great figure."

 

[Darkling0096]

Adran smiled and kissed the arachne, "I don't know about you, but I wanna see what you can do with it."

 

[Fangs9090]

Erina smiled at him. "You have a one-track mind, don't you? Well, I can't say I'm not curious myself."

 

[Darkling0096]

"One track, many destinations," Adran smiled. Let it never be said that this elf wasn't consistent. Pulling his arms up, Adran picked Erina up to carry her over to the bed.

----------

Outside, Beri was still pacing and asking whoever he met that had displayed any magical ability if they knew how to dye fur.

 

[Fangs9090]

Erina let out a squeak and held onto him. She wasn't used to being lifted.

----------

Most of the others had called it a night, except for Niudisa.

 

[Darkling0096]

Morning came and found most of the group quite comfortable in their beds. Jerry and Asta quite relaxed in theirs, finding Jerry drooling in her sleep on Asta's shoulder when the chimera woke. Emil and Veo found themselves much the same as they'd gone to sleep, although Veo, and subsequently her vines, had taken hold of Emil in their sleep and held him close. Erina and Adran found they woke up with much more space on the bed when Erina's abdomen wasn't so large, and it was more comfortable to snuggle up with each other.

Everyone else likewise woke up in their beds after a night of rest, if they'd slept.

 

[Fangs9090]

Asta, Emil, and Erina would agree that they were too comfortable to get up just yet. Though Emil also didn't have the option, so it seemed. Ultimately Fia was the first out of her tent, with Shuffle close behind. They both looked around to see if anyone else was up yet.

 

[Darkling0096]

Nyah was of course awake, like Adran and Niudisa she rarely, if ever, actually slept, and was quick to follow Shuffle. "Are you guys hungry?", the djinn asked the two of them.

"Mm, good morning beautiful," Adran smiled warmly at Erina when he joined the land of the awake. "How are you feeling?"

Veo woke soon after Emil stirred, "Good morning." She yawned as her vines retracted, sitting up and stretching her arms above her head. "Did you sleep well?"

As usual Jerry didn't wake up until someone or something prompted her too.

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle nodded. “Yeah!”

Niudisa looked over as she heard them, waving a hand to try and get Nyah’s attention.

Erina smiled, closing her eyes back. “Still strange, but comfortable enough to stay here a while.”

Emil nodded as he watched her. “Yes, very well.”

Asta was comfortable where he was, so he simply nuzzled back against Jerry.
