A quick bit of morning smooching then off to parade prep

When you wake up in the pile of your lovers a warm feeling spreads through you. Your arms are pinned under Ana and Asune so you can't hug everyone, instead you do the next best thing. With careful control you expand your aura out to cover every, letting them feel how happy their presence makes you. A collective sigh from the now waking lovers is followed by a slight groan at hangovers arrive.

Vatarie pressed her forehead against your chest and moans out. "Too much wine." You lean down and kiss her forehead. She relaxes a bit and you feel her aura blur with yours. You pull into yourself and feel her contentedness at waking up ontop of you.

Ana stirs neck kissing your cheek. "Morning Harea." She whispers as her aura is absorbed into you. She's feeling pretty happy with both herself and you right now. Spending the party holding her hand had given her some very warm feelings and sleeping with her, even without sex had fluffed up that warmth.

Asune was already awake, if she woke up before you or at the same time you aren't sure. "Harea." She said then lean up to look over your chest to look at Ana, "Harea." Ana smiled and leaned over you to share a kiss. Asune's aura didn't feel exactly warm as it opened up but her coolness felt more amicable as you absorbed it.

"Sleeping in the same bed without sex." Clare mused as she kissed your upper thigh. "You're rubbing off on me." Her aura was full of mirth as you absorbed, self-satisfied at her own joke.

Edin didn't say anything but you felt him kiss your leg as he woke and the fulfilled feeling of waking up at the feet of not just you but also Ana permeated his aura.

Delilah let out a somewhat worrying burp as they stirred. "Ok, I'll take over til our stomach settles." Eve said softly then kissed your forehead. "Delilah said she loves you." Eve kissed you again and press her forehead against yours. "I'm partial to you as well." Their aura was a guarded as ever but you got a dulled feeling of love from around the edges of their guard. You couldn't absorb it but reached up to stroke their cheek affectionately. You can't absorb their aura but can still be close to them.

With everyone breathing as one and feeling the affection, and hangover, of everyone else you pulled your aura back inside yourself. You understood how this worked now. If you use your aura to return their aura they get a boost of your and their own feelings, if you use your magic however you can give them a boost which should. A collective sigh of relief as your magic enters them and rushes them through their hangover is followed by a lot of gentle kisses against your exposed skin.

Before those kissed become anything more than an expression of mutual affection the sound a bell rings out. Ana sighs and get up. "We'll need to be bathed and dressed." She said stretching happily. She walked to the door and opened it to several platters that were carried and assembled on the table. The smell of meat made both Delilah and Vatarie spring from the bed and begin shoveling food into their mouth. You are glad those delivering the platters didn't let any hands linger or else they might have some bite marks. Asune joins them followed by Edin leaving you and Clare in bed.

She climbs up and kisses you resting her head on your chest. "I really glad we're together." She said happily. "But I really need sex, it's been almost ten hours." You look at her with a quirked eyebrow. "Ana sucked me off before you arrived to get changed last night." The comment made Ana look over at the two of you and blush. "Don't be bashful Princess," Clare cooed climbing off you and walking over to Ana to plant a kiss on her lips, "you're getting better. Not as good as Edin but better."

Edin looked up at the mention of his name but hadn't paid attention to the rest of the words. Clare tussled his hair and he beamed up at her then went back to eating.

You got out of bed and joined everyone for breakfast. It was mostly a quite meal as the game of try to get some meat without Delilah or Vatarie, near literally on occasion, snatching it out of your mouth, you think Delilah took a bit of your lip with her at one point.

When the food was gone attendants arrived to shuffle people to the baths. You thought it was going to be the Royal Baths but Ana said you didn't have time for that. The bath was still more opulent that the high class one at the Academy. Mosaics covered the wall and several naked golden statues of both men and women poured water from their various naughty bits. Clare had a rather big grin on her face as she sat under the statue of rather excessively endowed man enjoying the shower it provided.

While you were bathing Black and White appeared and dragged Ana away, then came back for Vatarie and Asune. When they left and the doors opened again you assumed it would be for you so you stood and turned to it. Standing in the doorway was Mary. She looked you up and down and dropped the robe she was wearing striding into the water while holding eye contact with you, daring you to look down at her body.

You managed to last a whole three of her steps before looking down to check out her chest. Her smirk grew and she sat in the water watching you with a raised eyebrow. She was either waiting for you to make the first move, or waiting to step over your first move to make her own.

You weren't going to play and just kept washing off. Delilah walked over to you and hugged you offering to wash your back. You accepted and they had you turn away from Mary. You think they might have been misleading you about the back wash since all you felt pressed against you was their chest. You weren't going to complain however and enjoyed the feeling of their, slightly jealous, attention.

When it came time for you to get dressed it wasn't Black and White who arrived.

"Mistress." Green called out. Mary stood from the water and walked off. "Master Christopher." You hesitated for a bit but there was a cough of impatience. Delilah didn't release you however. You could feel Green staring at you and if Blue is any good as a basis for her sister Green will just keep staring until you leave.

"Thanks for the back wash." You move away from Delilah and give them a kiss. "Promise to make it up to you." They pout a bit and you can see a silent debate happening in their eyes. It resolves when Eve, judging by the eyebrow, gives you a look, a reminder about last night advice when it came to Mary and non-informing of Delilah about the fucking. You nod at them. "Promise." You say as you get up to join Green and Mary. There isn't much point in resisting this, if you do it will escalate to Aurora herself and that's a lot of pressure on not just you but everyone else. Grabbing a towel around your waist you left with Green.

A short walk afterwards you are presented to dressing room. There were four women inside waiting for you, none you recognized. Green didn't join you and closed the door as she left. Your towel was swiftly stripped from you and the dressing began.
