Chapter 4: Aftermath

As everyone lies on the ground, a well-fucked heap, Eryne picks up her robe and puts it on. She walks over to where I'm lying, and asks "Hey, are you still conscious?" "Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm just a bit tired, that's all," I reply. "Heh heh, that Elf sure is 'tired', wouldn't you say?" Eryne says coyly. "Oh can it, you were having a great time base-deep in Salene, and you didn't see me poking fun," I casually reply. "Whatever, get up, we have to get out of here before anyone sees us," Eryne says, her tone turning serious. "Oh, you mean like the guards and maybe a maiden?" I retort. We both chuckle at the joke, as I get up to gather my garments. I suggest to Eryne we wake up the other two and the guards.

 

I push Mika, who is still lying sleepily after having a 'fun time' with Salene. "Hey little foxy, we have to get back to the den," I say, shaking her by the shoulder. "Mmmmph, do we have to go already? I was having a nice dream..." she replies, rubbing her eyes sleepily. Eryne walks over to Berta, who passed out from the sixty-nine with the Salamander. "Hey, Miss Gargantuan, we have to go, now," Eryne states. "Alright, alright, I'm up, no need to shove," Berta says, shakily getting up.

 

I wake up the Elf, gently touching her arm. "Hey, I don't want you two to get in trouble for oversleeping or something, so c'mon, you need to get up," I tell her. "Huh, didn't think the wrong-doers would be helping the guards... what's your name by the way?" she mutters, followed by her pondering of my name. "Samuel, what's yours?" I reply. "Katherine. Hey, I'm normally down by the pub if I'm not on the job, what do you say to a proper meeting, if I might ask?" Katherine bluntly asks. "Me? Oh... I don't really drink, unless it's for celebration," I reply. "Well, then let's 'celebrate' our little meeting," she shoots back. "Uhm.. sure... I guess, but don't expect me to go crazy intoxicated, okay?" I sheepishly reply. "Bah, I'll make sure you do!" Katherine jests.

 

Berta approaches the Salamander, whom is still passed out on the floor. "Hey, you good?" the Amazon asks. "Huh? Oh... yeah, I'm fine," she replies. "Good, it's time to get up and at 'em, don't want you getting into any trouble," Berta retorts. "Hmph, well well well! The bandit helps the guard, now that's a case of irony if I've ever heard one," the lizard sneers. "You up for round three? Or are you going to drag this on longer than it needs to be?" Berta states, impatient with the scaly woman's attitude. "Yikes, no need for threats, I'll get going... sheesh..." the Salamander says, hastily gathering her uniform.

 

"What's your name, by any chance?" the dark-skinned brute asks. "Hmm? Oh, the name's Lissa, how 'bout yours?" "Berta. Well, it's been fun and all, if I ever catch you off-work, I'll make sure to grab a pint with you!" Berta adds. "Sounds good, just make sure I don't catch you 'on' work, heh heh," Lissa jokes shyly. The two women redress, quickly meeting up with their respective group. As the guards leave, Berta and I wave to our newly acquired friends. "Meeting new people, eh? Better mean your not leaving poor old me!" Eryne says. "Oh shut up lizard-lips," Berta retorts.

 

With the group done with their sex-filled escapade, they report back to the guild, practically running the whole way back. Entering through their 'secret passage', Samuel heads up to Lucius, telling him everything... minus the sex scenes. Lucius listens, eyes closed, as if he were in deep thought. As Samuel tells him where the detachment went, Lucius' eyes open, almost as if he were surprised. His face changes to that of worry when he hears that gold was most likely sent along with. Lucius thanks Samuel for the info, dismissing the doppelganger to his quarters. Samuel, curious as to why Lucius seemed so distraught, ponders it before laying in bed, drifting to a deep, sound sleep.
