"I trust the garden is to your liking?" Exzelcryth asked as she walked out of the fortress, freshly bathed and in a new open backed dress, to speak with her new companions. They made a curious pair, a calculating rabbit, and a devil-may-care hound-beast. Still she found herself starting to like this company for some reason. "I hope I'm not intruding, but did I over hear you talking about the girl? If I may ask, how did you plan to go about confirming her lineage?"

Was just thinking. If Fujiko was going to reveal herself to Alexandrine one day. She might consider having her being cuffed or strapped to a bed first. Then make her cum again and again after she reveals her true form. Probably even better if she shape-shiftef into a futa form. Just a thought, seeing how you'd feel about that?

***** There was a sparkle in Fujiko's eyes and knowing smile as she Elie obeyed, she could tell she recognized her now, and couldn't or chose not to say anything in her lust. Her own sex was wet with excitement, but she had plans before giving in herself. The little circles she was tracing on Daimond, she continued, lightly up her inner thigh, not rushing. Hoping to build her anticipation. Fujiko's fingers felt, warm and soft as she grazed her slit, while licking her lips. She reached out with her other hand, and pulled Elie's head toward Daimond, telling Elie, "That's a good girl, Show me what that tongue can do." She said as her fingers spread Daimonds lips. Her hand on Elie's head encouraged her towards Daimond's exposed pussy. Her body heat was warming and reflecting off the two girls as their bodies all rubbed gently against each other. Elie, had the biggest rack of any magical girl Exzel had yet encountered in her transformed form. And her face had such a gentle elegance. Daimond on the other hand looked more athletic, toned, and that waist! In this moment she wanted nothing more than to fuck them both silly.

Hhhhmmm, like the Merciful Goddess from Saiyuki? Or war god Nataku?

Eventually, I have an idea to introduce more villains as minor (guest?) characters perhaps, when we need more story, if interest stays good. But very evil types. Remnants of Gyomao's Army, out to establish their own empire, if they learn Exzel is here and alive to recapture or punish her also. I don't plan on them being nice, at all. But they an cause some havok, and perhaps get taken down by either Zorn's group, or Alexandrine's group, or both. Just a thought for a potential story thread I've had kicking around for a while. Nothing to rush into. Just Exzel's past catching up with her. Being a virgin, I'm waiting to see if Toshiro cums right away, not that that's a problem with knights on magical girls.

I do like the internal conflict. I don't think she wants to be like a general though. I believe she would like to stick to her covert fun. Nexus devils get wander lust sometimes, so having no big responsibility and being able to just walk away to explore is more important to them. I believe she favors more 'soft power'/behind the scenes dealings. She might try to stay a shade of grey, between Light and Dark, but not sure how that will end for her. Honestly want to see where she goes through RP between her, Alexandrine, Elie and Zorn. Or anyone else she comes across, and just let the story unfold kinda organically if that makes sense?

"Yes I do wish to bathe, thank you." She said as she walked by Zorn, I to the baths. She noted the healing tub was empty of any occupant, and wondered where the beast-girl had gone to. She went behind a standing screen, painted with mountainous landscapes and cherry blossoms. From out side there was only the view of her lower legs, by her feet and ankles, the the slight of her towel hitting the ground. Exzel found a bucket of warer and sat washing herself, before rinsing with the bucket. Then walked naked, to her warm, hot spring pool, stepping in smoothly and submerging herself to the neck, relaxing there for a long time.

Sorry ladies and gentlemen, I continue to be sick. Regardless I'll make an effort to check in tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully a little better.

*** The Fortress *** The waystone stood towering in the the middle of the garden, runes glowing, as rows of cherry blossoms on either side swayed in a gentle breeze. A green skinned, and mostly naked save for a sheer yukata, mazone girl bowed to Hellhound as she entered the garden, "Good morning to you." The sun up, Hellhound heard the crackling of a fire just as she smelled the familair carbon scent of burning wood mixed with... meat? She could see Zef, on the far side, around the pond, sitting at a fire roasting what looked like a large boar over a fire. His club and the ground, and a boar spear stuck in the ground. Inside near the entrance to the bath were Hellhound had been, Exzelcryth walked to the door of the area, seeing Zorn as she approached. She was wearing naught but a towel wrapped tightly around herself, from breasts to her upper thighs, just enough to cover everything important. "Good morning to you, General. I trust your night was peaceful?" Despite being strong, she looked rather delicate this morning as she drew closer, clearing intending to walk by him, and into the room of baths.

***** Fujiko grabbed Elie's hand and pulled her along behind her as she went, slowly, with a rather seductive walk in her heels to the bed. Giving an unmistakable look of desire at Daimond as she went by, biting her lip as she looked her up and down. Given her station in Gyumao's army, she was very experienced sexually, both from seducing targets and being used as the demon lord concubine. Which had sometimes been a horrifying experience given his tendency to kill those who had displeased him. She could have faked the look she was giving daimond like a professional, and no one would know the difference, but she didn't have to, it was real desire. Eyes burning with lust as she looked at her with a mischievous smile. Stopping in front of the bed she released Elie's hand, and reached under her own dress, black lace panties were sliding down her long, smooth legs seconds later. Now pantyless under her white dress, she pulled diamond to her, one hand going around her back, one around her and cupping her ass, squeezing. She stood pressing breast to breast embracing Daimond as she leaned in to kiss her, with such passion as it would hit the girl like a tsunami. Her heart pounding harder in excitement, thanks to the stimulatuon of her powerful demon parasympathetic nerves. With her power limiters on, the effect was reduced, but still there was a slight tingle or spark on thier lips, as the suppressed demon arua made physical contact with the magical girl. The sensationwas more pleasurable than a kiss between mortals, or two demons, the positive and negative auras, attracted each other in a unique way. She handled Daimond firmly moving her down to sitting on the edge of the bed, and soon sat beside her, both of their legs off the side of the bed, their nearest legs together, qith Fujiko's going over Daimond's. Pausing the kiss, she put a hand on Ellie and pulled her in hungrily for a kiss, she could feel her mark reacting on Elie, and her heart's defenses breaking as real emotion filled her soul. Her legs spread apart as she told Elie to kneel. Looking back to Daimond, she reached out placing a hand on her knee that began to slide up slowly as she made expert, light little teasing circles.

Well, it seems I picked up a respiratory virus, judging by what was going around half my work crew, probably Covid. I'll try to get on a little here, but I'm not functioning at 100%. If Zorn snd Hellhound want to move on about their business, that's understandable. I would just assume Excel would say hello in the morning before soaking in a hot bath to recover from the previous day or something to that effect.

Been slammed at work today. Also seem to be coming down with some kind of virus. Do what I can when I can, may be a bit however.

Short staffed at work. Little to no chance I'll be able to get on today.

@Warning I took Zorn to his room and sent Exzel to bed in her room so Hellhound can rejoin the action any time now. We'll just have it be the bext day?

She noted the way he looked at her. Respectful, bit there was a little desire there as well. Good Just the way she wanted it. She stood and led the way to his room, hips swaying with every step to highlight her feminine form. Looking over her shoulder with a teasing look, she let her shoulder strap fall down her arm, the front of her dress creeping a little lower, showing more cleavage. "Here is your room, Lord Zorn. Rest well." She gave him a small bow, and a smile before she left for her own room to sleep.

Great, next morning should be good I think. I was contemplating having Exzel talk or somerhing to Zorn in his room, but I can keep it short if you're itching to get back in?

Cool, I want to get to the next day eventually, so Hellhound can be up and around, though if you want her still a little injured or not I'll leave to you.

*** Fortress *** "I think it likely your companion will need a whole to heal before she feels like getting up and around." The night was wearing on as it was. "I thought she might be one of yours, but I did not wish to implicate you as a father. I hardly know you, and it would have been impolite of me." She considered her words "A partnership suits me." She raised the fine saké again. "To us," and downed the whole of the liquid in her drinking vessel. "If you wish it, I have a guest room you are welcome to use for the night. Then perhaps we can question your companion on the marrow?" The mazone eyed one another wordlessly in the background as they heard their mistress offer a room.

Fujiko wanted to see what she got. The necklace she gave Daimond was quite beautiful, very eye catching with the gem stones, and she was curious to see what she might get. However, she didn't want to get emotional in public if it was something touching, and if she suppressed her emotional response, it might give Elie the wrong idea, like Fujiko was heartless or uncaring. "Can I have mine later please?" She looked back and forth at both girls, feeling ready to take them on. She stood by Daimond and grabbed her arm with hers purring it between hers and her body as she leaned over for a closer look at the necklace. "A truly beautiful gift. I think the purple will bring out your eyes." She made a point to press the side of her ample chest against Daimond's arm as she looked at her necklace, brushing down Daimond's arm with her other hand, before she released her. Hoping her touch would enflame her interest even more. "Shalll we?"

Fujiko walked along with the girls. When she walked by a stand and did a double take. Someone was selling plush lions that looked like they were from voltron, the show Elie had first mentioned to her, and she had been "binging" recently. They weren't large but they were adorable, and they caught her eye immediately. She fell back from the 2 girls a moment, and went over to the stand, purchasing the most adorable blue lion plushy she could find. She had a nagging feeling that there was some earth ritual about reciprocating gifts, so picked it up while the girls were looking at other things, in case it might come in handy later. At least she wouldn't be empty handed. She caught up quickly with the girls. She was getting a vibe from Daimond she wanted the alone time with someone, and her hand brushed Daimond's as she walked by. She smiled at Daimond and held her hand out in such a way that if she reciprocated, she would hold her hand as they walked. If not, it was a subtle gesture, and no harm done.

The work gods have been usually kind to me today, to check back this much. Weekends are usually horrendous.

Again, Fujiko felt a a twinge of emotion at Elie's out pouring. Why did she care what this toy thought? Why was her empathy returning after so many ages. It annoyed her, after centuries of being a, rather ruthless at times, covert operative for Gyumao. But that was more about survival. Not used to such kindness of heart, Elie's words meant more to Fujiko than Exzel would ever admit. But she was also playing a part, and let the emotion through, that Exzel in her true form might consider a weakness. Fujiko's eyes watered, just the slightest bit. She blinked a few tines quickly to clear it. "Let's go together." She said as she stood up and straightened her clingy white dress. She suddenly wondered what they were getting, and if there was some earth ritual she should be aware of. Did she need to get a gift?

This is how I've been playing it (I'm open to discussion on this, BTW); It lets Exzel sense where her marked person is. It allows her to sense strong emotions of the marked, as well sense if her mark is in grave danger. It causes the marked one to get horny, and crave Exzel, when she is close. That's pretty much what I've been going with up to now. It's possible I suppose we could add other effects if wanted. But I think people are apt to want, more or less, full control of their characters, most of the time at least. I'm totally open to discussion on this, just the loose idea I had so far.

There it was. An invitation to a more secluded room with the Daimond Sorceress. Fujiko wore a gentle smile, "I would very much like that. I think a private venue would much better suited, for deep conversations." Her body was still keyed up in anticipation, she could feel a moistness building. She wanted her marked girl, Elie, had such an elegant look. She was also eager to see if she could make Daimond hers. Or at least get her on the right path. Besides, she was cute too. It was also exciting to think how much energy she potentially had to tap. And she would be sure to tap her, eventually. Enjoying one's self, with a dangerous enemy. It was something Exzel had always found thrilling, and that always heightened the experience. Sometimes, she had revealed her true form in the middle of sex. The look on their faces was always delicious. "Shall we go with you?" Fujiko asked as she made to stand.

@SataiRolePlayingGuy Fujiko will accept, I intend to wait for Elie to respond first, in case she wanted to add anything about the cards/fate conversation before I respond. Of course that conversation could also be continued in private rooms. I was planning on having her stay as Fujiko initially. Did you want her to reveal herself as Exzel? It would seem very risky from her point of view, I won't rule it out however, especially if Elie I there. I suppose if the feeling is right, and she feels like she may be able to have her way with her. Just wondering what you are wanting here.
