A sort of mother/daughter talk

"Nihja," Aya began, drawing her thoughts together as she folded some clothing, "I've been wondering about you and your um... second puberty."

Nihja sighed, she hated these kinds of pep talk and hearing about the birds and the bees. Sex was something she was well aware of for years now, it's rather embarrassing if her mother decided to go down that road again. But Aya noted her sigh and changed route in her delivery. "Now it's not that I'm going to talk to you like i did when yiu first hit puberty dear, you should know that. But what Yen mentioned is right, you are a young woman and anytime now you will be reaching your demon stage. Soon you'll start to have new... cravings. New desires I suppose, and you'll find these desires to be something dangerous, something that you will need tl tame and keep in control of."

Aya breathed in before continuing, "It's tough being a demon out there darling, and you should know we need to hide that part of ourselves from the others. If anyone suspects us of being more, i fear for what fate would suit us then." Nihja nodded, it's true that they have had to hide their demon side from the others. Lucky they are succubi and can pass easily as a human woman, other creatures like Lamia's are not so lucky without a bit of magic to assist them. "I guess I'm not sure if you are ready for when you become a succubus, i don't think i ever will. Honestly it becomes frustrating when i worry for your sisters, they will forever be my little girls no matter the age. I guess what i mean to ask is, if you have any questions about us at all, or anything to say. I'm all ears, and what you say will stay between us. Mother's promise." She smiled and crossed her heart.

Nihja chuckled, that was a small gesture she used to do when she was much younger and accidentally broke her sister's toy. Aya helped her fix it and made a Mother's promise not to say anything about the toy to anyone else. In that moment, she couldn't help but feel closer to her mom, wanting to hold her again as if she were five years of age once more. It's true for both ways, no matter the age Aya will always be her mother.

"Aw mom, i do have some questions. It's just, I don't know, i have a lot more but i don't know which to ask." Aya held her hand and gave it a slight squeeze. "Any question you have, we'll go through one at a time okay?"

She nodded. One at a time, okay.

"How come we don't have wings?"

Aya tilted her head. "Come again?"

"Why don't we have wings? I went to the library once with Mitzi and saw a book about monster girls. A succubus is described to have horns, a tail and wings. But you and my sisters don't have any, why is that?"

Aya smiled and hung some clothes onto the clothesline. "That makes sense. We don't have wings because we are Lesser Succubi, dear. A Lesser Succubus is much like a Succubus but not as filled with Demonic energy, able to find a balance between being evil and pure. It's an odd subject and some that most still study today, so far a Lesser Succubus can be born from being corrupted by a complete Succubus, only females undergo the change and from then on they can pass down that trait to their young."

Nihja nodded, perhaps she would make another trip to the library and see if she'll find anything on Lesser Succubi. So they aren't completely demonic? That's interesting. "Okay. So were you a human before or...?" Her mother chuckled before shaking her head. "It was my grandmother that fell in bed with another demon before succumbing to the change. I was born a Lesser Succubus, as were you and your sisters."

Nihja helped fan some of the blankets before hanging them up to dry. "Okay, so i have another question. When i change, how do I make myself stay looking the same without the horns and tail?"

"That part is tricky, we will have to show you and teach you that when it happens. The best way to describe it is you will feel as if you were suppressing a high spike of adrenaline in you, as if you were trying to hide your fear. But i would say it is best to elaborate on that when your day arrives."

Nihja helped pass her another blanket before clearing her throat. "So, i understand a succubus needs to have sex to eat, i get that. But... does the same work with other creatures?"

Aya looked over at her little girl. "Did you have someone in mind sweetheart? When are we to meet him? Or her, women can be fun too."

"Mom!"

Aya giggled upon seeing Nihja blush and pout. "Yes, we can feed off any race, not just human. Dwarves, Elves, Saurions, all of them i believe. It's not something I tested... but my mother told me that and I believe her."

Ew. Nihja made a slight face of disgust before being quick to change the subject. "Well um... i do have one last question i guess."

"Oh, go ahead."

Nihja rubbed her arm and shrugged slowly, looking away from her mother as she tried to find the right words. "It's about um... uhh, well n-nervemind i guess. I'll ask later." Aya nodded and both mother and daughter continued drying the clothes before folding them

"Okay love, thank you for helping with folding the clothes. I think you've earned yourself a break, don't you?" Aya asked as Nihja sipped her glass of water and nodded. She was a bit tired from all the chores she did, even coming off as the last girl to finish while her other sisters left home. She cleared her throat before asking, "Mom, is it okay if I can go out for a bit?" "Oh, go out as in outside or go out as in on a date?" Her mother teased back.

"A-Ahh as in outside of course!" Nihja stuttered, "Come on mom, stop teasing." Her mothet chuckled before nodding her head. "You've earned it, go ahead but be safe okay?"

"I will, thanks mom!"

"And don't stay out late!"

Nihja waved goodbye before exiting her house, wondering what she was left to do. She could wonder around freely and see if she could find any of her friends... oh, her sisters are around too! Maybe give them a surprise visit, see what happens?

She thought to herself, confident in where her sisters would be. Yen may or may not be at the town market, Mitzi is surely at the library, Sabine was with her friends somewhere around the village, and Myen would be with Julie.

Where to go?
