Slippery Scales of Decipet

[BeyondOblivion]

(Gah, I'm getting mixed up, sorry)


Aaron nodded and took her arm, a blush extending across his face. He slowly began to walk with her, sticking close to her again.

They headed back to the cave, picked up the buckets, and back over to the lake to draw water from it. Once that was done, they headed back to the cave again "Well, that was a lot more unnecessary walking..." Emma commented as they approached the cave.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

He looked odwn, "Sorry about that." He went to the bed the moment that he got back, laying down and looking away. he wasn't sure waht to do anymore, nervously looking at her.

 

[LegoLad659]

"Let's just try not to forget about that again." Emma said, climbing into the bed as well "Anyway, let's get some rest for the night. Now that you know how to swing a sword without floundering all over the place, we're going to talk about technique and different battle stances tomorrow."

 

[BeyondOblivion]

He nodded and laid down, "Do you still want to squeeze onto me while I'm on the bed, or do you trust me after three days of me showing no signs of not wanting to flee?"

 

[LegoLad659]

"A little longer, I think." Emma said, wrapping her tail around him "Better safe than sorry, after all. And besides, you seem to enjoy it, so who am I to deny my trainee a simple sleep-wrapping?"

 

[BeyondOblivion]

He blushed, "It's just very comforting ot me. It's so warm and snuggly." He pulled it into himself and kissed hte tip, "It's interesting to be honest, i'm not actually sure how to describe it."

 

[LegoLad659]

"...Huh. I see." Emma replied "Have I told you that you're the first person I've met that hasn't been completely freaked out by this? Not just the tail thing, I mean all of this."

 

[BeyondOblivion]

Aaron looked up, "I guess that I just... I don't know why, I just feel much more at ease right now." He cuddled into her tail and began to drift into a state of rest.

 

[LegoLad659]

Emma shrugged "Hey, I'm not complaining." She replied, before she closed her eyes to sleep as well.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

He looked up, "Emma, can I ask you a question?" He didn't wait for her resposne, "When did you decide to live on your own?"

 

[LegoLad659]

Emma was silent for a moment, considering her answer "It's true that Lamias sometimes congregate into villages held together by a Lamia Queen, but they're fairly uncommon. I've lived alone in this forest for my whole life, as far as I can remember." She told him "It's more a common life than you might think, for a Lamia."

 

[BeyondOblivion]

He blinked a litlte bit, "There's a Lamia queen? I didn't know that... why is it that humans know so little about you creatures?" He asked.

 

[LegoLad659]

"I suppose it could be because Humans think of us Monster Girls as simply elite monsters, and treat us as such. They probably never even bothered to look into whether we build communities just like them or not." Emma reasoned, though of course, not being Human, she couldn't really prove that.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

He nodded, "that probably makes sense." He sat up and laid agianst her, "Do Lamia's fall in love? Do you... procreate?" He blushed a little bit, but he was still curios enough to ask.

 

[LegoLad659]

"...Yes. We do. Though I, myself, never learned the process." Emma said, wondering where all of Aaron's questions were coming from all of a sudden.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

"Oh... thanks." He slowly shut her eyes tightly and at last fell asleep, sparing her any more of his awkward questions. He cuddled her tial and passed out.

 

[LegoLad659]

Emma laid there for a while, thinking. Could a Lamia fall in love with something that wasn't another Lamia? She'd never heard of anything like that before, but then again of course she wouldn't, having lived here alone all this time. She also wondered if a Human could, in turn, fall in love with something that wasn't Human. She didn't really have the answer to either of her questions, and soon she fell asleep with them still on her mind.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

When she woke up, he'd managed to actually slip out of her tial. She opened her eyes to see he was useing moss to scrub down the walls. He leaned back into the bed and smiled, "Morning."

 

[LegoLad659]

Emma blinked as she saw Aaron up and about, out of her tail "Good morning... When did you...?" She asked, trying to remember if she'd actually secured her grip last night.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

Aaron shrugged, "Last night when the moon was out. I was too bored and I went ahead and helped clean up the ntire cave, it's much better than sleeping sometimes."

 

[LegoLad659]

"I see..." Emma replied, as she got up from the bed. So he'd been able to escape since the middle of the night? And yet he didn't take the chance? This instilled quite a bit of confidence in her that Aaron would definitely not try to escape her at all.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

Aaron looked down, "I-I also... I found a nice tree and go ta much bigger stick that we could use for training..." Hje handed her a much larger one, whilst he brandished his own.

 

[LegoLad659]

Emma examined the stick as Aaron gave it to her "Hmm, this is actually exactly what we needed for your training today. I did say we'd be working on technique and stances, so this will help with demonstrations and the like." She commented, twirling the stick in her hand "Go ahead and finish that up, let me know when you're ready to go."

 

[BeyondOblivion]

"I'm already done, I've been just doing this randomly for the last hour while I waited for you to wake up." He smiled. (Timeskip?)
