anput didn't let me back into the forge that day, the jackalkin not evening giving me a proper reason why as she just sealed off the doors and locked herself inside that stone box, though i noticed a spattering of new chimneys and small vents in the side of the structure for the airflow.
since my mate was refusing to let me do one of my jobs here at the encampment, i was instead forced into doing alchemy with leone, though 'forced' was a bit of a strong word all things considered...
it wasn't my favorite thing in the world - it was like cooking in some regards but a bit more tedious thanks to its ultra precise measurements - nor was it the worst, and doing it with leone made it all the better, though it made me realize i was never doing it on my own unless i had to.
the fun of cooking something was the ability to alter the recipe depending on your mood and who you were cooking for, so being stuck with strict guidelines was a bit stifling to me; that was likely because i was more of a free flowing kinda gal when it came to these things.
having the structure available as a loose guideline was nice, and that was something leone noticed as she had me brewing more of the basic potions that could afford the less precise measurements, or having me prepare the ingredients for her instead since i could do that in
bulk.
when she no longer needed my help though i was left on my lonesome, with no ingredients to prepare for her or for us when it came to food thanks to the myriad chefs that the sultana had amongst her soldier, and i was locked out from enchanting the new weapons...
when the sun had begun to dip down towards the horizon - reaching the halfway point between its peak and its lowest point - i finally stopped and collapsed on a thick sheet of ice i made for myself, panting hard from the exertion and staring blankly at the blue sky above.
my legs were on fire and my hips, knees and ankles ached fiercely at the overall wear i had placed them on, so when the cold touch of my healing spell washed over me i almost passed out at how pleasurable that felt.
before i could efficiently rest and figure out what to do next a pink face appeared right above me, the sultry grin of my ever present contractee entering my vision alongside the plethora of adorable snakes that she didn't deserve.
"aw kat... does it hurt anywhere~? could i interest you in a massage, perhaps~? i can be real- thorough with it too, if that intrigues you finally~?"
the intoxicatingly rich and sweet scent wafting off of her body was as thick as ever, and as she reached down to caress my cheek before drifting ever closer i found part of myself yearning to say yes, damn well knowing that would plunge me into something that i could never recover from.
her touch was soft, but the mirth on her face on grew when the soft growl that came from nearby reminded me that my answer was a firm no, the sight of the demoness i had been craving earlier entering my vision as she walked on over with a slight scowl.
"no, it doesn't interest her, sla'caligo. now, if you'd please..."
waving the arch fiend away jahi knelt beside me and placed her palm on my belly, pushing some of her potent and sharp light mana into me as she aided my healing - albeit clumsily - before she asked "would you care for a massage, kat?"
cali just let out a huff before bursting into pink mist, and we shared a chuckle as i gave jahi a nod, the demoness' arms slipping under me as she lifted me up to carry me back to our tent, her lips curled into an expectant grin.
