A very busy time for all

Gabrielle didn't spend that long in the bath, in fact you only believe she'd actually gone into it because her hair was wet. Still looking dejected you suggested getting dinner and she just listlessly nodded. On your way out of the estate you didn't see Delilah but didn't go back to get them. You doubted Eve was in the mood for anyone's company but Delilah's after that.

The walk to the dorms was devoid of any conversation. Gabrielle's history kept playing in your mind and you couldn't help but consider why Clare's sister had picked you. You hadn't done anything, Gabrielle had done and seen some horrific things. "If you ever want to talk about anything, I'm -"

"I don't." Gabrielle said wiping at dry eyes out of habit. "I'm fine, I just need to get back."

You want to call her out on that obvious lie but don't know how. She's obviously suppressing her past by obsessing over getting back to it, but you've know her for a few hours total not exactly a good basis for empathetic commiserations. "The foods good here, and there is a lot." You don't have a way to get her a plate so you'll be sharing yours.

Inside the dorm building is about as busy as it usually is on weekend. People were milling about and chatting in groups. The couples that had been forming over the first few weeks seem to have settled, men and women you recognized as partners staying close and not changing anymore. You did notice there were all female couples than there had been. Given the age, hormones and general preference for male partners, you think that the same sex ones are more to do with friend with benefits than actual relationships. But who know, you wouldn't have thought Auria and Lucia would be a couple yet as you walk into the dorm building you see them sitting together, canoodling. Oriana and Cynthia are sitting opposite them and you see every time Oriana kicks her sister's shin for getting a bit to handsy in public. It happens three time in the time it take you to get your plate and reach the buffet.

"Grab what ever you want." You say as the steaming platters of meat and vegetable, bright fruit and crisp looking pastries.

Gabrielle looks up for the first time, taking it the luxurious servings on offer she grabs a bit of bread and some meat and that is all. A result of current depression or just her normal eating habit you can't tell. Pilling up your plate with a lot more meat, vegetables, fruits and a few more pieces of bread you lead her to the table with the sisters. Oriana senses your approach and stops mid-sentence to stand up and bow her head when you near.

That is off putting and you say, "Please don't do that."

Oriana looks up and smiles, "As you wish Sir." Cynthia stands up looking a bit unsure if she is supposed to.

"And please don't treat me," you pause for a second and for a moment think Oriana new deference might work for you, "treat me like you'd treat any other friend."

"No I'm the one that fucks my friends, Sis you should treat him like your boyfriend." Auria says, jumping at the chance to get back at her sister for the shin kicking. Lucia rolls her eyes and kisses Auria's neck, she's used to the sisters arguing at least.

"I will treat our Stud however he wants to be treated." Oriana said, a holier-than-thou tone you've yet to hear. "And I see you have brought a new convert." Oriana turned her eyes to Gabrielle, already flicking on her proselytize switch.

"Follower of the Mother of All?" Gabrielle asked flicking her eyes up to Oriana who suddenly hesitated. You check her aura and it was clear she'd just seen how dense Gabrielle's was. Not even close to as notable as your absence but it would get a double take normally, and standing next to you is suggestive or more.

"Yes, would you like to talk about it?" Oriana motioned for Gabrielle to sit down next to her, Cynthia ducking around to your other side.

"What do you know about the Churches history?" Gabrielle sat down and produced a little notebook and quill. Oriana seemed convinced she'd found a new convert and sat down happy to focus on conversion rather than you.

Putting your plate down between you and Gabrielle you nudged her. She grabbed a bit of bread and nibbled on it without paying it any mind while she questioned Oriana. You picked at the fruit glad to be eating something finally.

"Are you still available for a lesson?" Cynthia asked, she was fidgeting and her aura was mostly anticipation and nerves.

"I," you looked at Gabrielle and Oriana, both totally engrossed in talking about the Churches history, "probably will be." You're going to have your room to yourself, Edin was gone for the whole week, oh that means no nighttime cuddling, or morning blowjob.

"Do you, I mean," Cynthia looked at Auria who actually stopped nuzzling with Lucia to watch, Cynthia let out a determined breath. "Can we um," her determined tone didn't make it into her aura as nerves grew stronger than anticipation, "have a lesson tonight?" She ended very awkwardly.

Auria shook her head. "I told you, like this." Auria looked at Lucia. "Lucia, wanna suck my tits while I finger you in the baths?"

Lucia blinks once. "All I heard was 'suck my tits', so yes." She pulled at Auria's top only for Oriana to clear her throat and give the two a very severe glare.

Lucia shrunk under the gaze, she and Auria might be together but she wasn't a noble and out of the two sisters, Oriana was far more likely to use her the pull that came with the title, maybe not to punish Lucia, but certainly to get in the way of their relationship. "Try again, like we practiced." Auria urged after sticking her tongue out at her sister who had back to trying to convert Gabrielle.

Cynthia looked at, then put her hand on your crotch. "I want this inside me." Lucia made a grossed out noise while Auria cheer her on.

It was by far the most vulgar thing Cynthia had ever said, and not just to you based on her red her face had gotten. You looked at Auria still celerbrating. "Ok, first." You move Cynthia's hand off your crotch and onto your thigh. "And second, don't start with that, ask how their day was, if they'd like to spend some time together, and then ask if they would like to kiss, or." You stop and turn to look at Cynthia, pulling her hand off your thigh you look into her eyes. "Do you mind if I kiss you?"

Cynthia's blush didn't shrink and staring back into your eyes you kiss her hand softly. "I-is that it?" She asked.

"Can I touch you some more?" She nodded to your request and with your other hand you gently ran it up her arm, stroking her skin, you didn't relax your vision to see her magic to know exactly where to touch since that would be an entirely other lesson. "Does this feel good."

"Y-yeah." Cynthia said staring at your hands. "You have big hands." She added while you intertwined your fingers.

"Can I kiss you somewhere else?" She nodded and you gently kissed her forearm moving up her arm until you reached her sleeve.

She swallowed. "C-can I touch you?" You nodded and her other hand tentatively reached over and touched your stomach letting out a coo.

"Little fast." You took her hand and put it on your cheek, using your fingers to guide hers, gently running her fingers along your jaw. "Do you want me to kiss you somewhere else?" She nodded shifting to give you more access to her arm. "Where do you want me to kiss you?"

She hesitated then pursed her lips for a moment before hesitating, "My neck." She said instead. You leaned over and gently breathed against she skin before softly kissing. She let out a shaky breath and the hand on your cheek moved to the back of your head pulling you closer. You intertwined fingers were left sitting between the two of you, you took her hand and this time put it on your thigh. She squeezed gently moaning gently.

"Can I kiss you?" She asked. You pulled back slightly and smile at her giving a nod. She leaned over and pressed her lips against your neck, you heard her excitement as she kissed your skin and the fingers on the back of you head stroked gently. She pulled back and bit her lip. "Wow."

"Can I get a kiss?" Auria asked, earning an offended hey from Lucia. "What, they're sexy?" She sounded really surprised that her girlfriend had taken offence to asking to kiss someone else.

Lucia looked over at you with a 'can you believe this woman' look. "Can't blame her." You heard from behind you. Looking around the dinning hall you noticed a lot of the occupants were watching you and Cynthia very intensely. Probably had been since Auria had made her suggestion on how to ask for sex.

You really shouldn't be so used to to this that you don't even notice when everyone is watching you. "How are you feeling?" You asked Cynthia who a lot more embarrassed than turned on.

"Oh um, f-fine." She squeezed her legs shut but her hands were still gripping you.

"Want to keep learning."

"Learning, right um y-" she looked around the room and shivered at all the attention, "-after dinner." Considering she is semi-naked in church and on the way to it her being embarrassed by this was cute, down to one being sexual and the other not you figure.

"Alright then." You said as Cynthia let go of you head but not your thigh. Resuming your dinner Auria looked bummed the show was over and went back to focusing on Lucia as much as she could with attracting her sisters ire. Gabrielle seemed totally unaware of what just happened behind her as she kept on asking about the Church.

At the end of dinner Auria asked Lucia is she wanted to follow around in the bath. Lucia grabbed her girlfriends hands and ran out of the dinning hall with Oriana torn between Gabrielle and chasing her sister down. You didn't want to leave Gabrielle so you stayed with the pair, you even grabbed some more food and pushed the plate in front of Gabrielle, nudging her every so often for the automated eating response. Cynthia stayed with you, talking about classes and it was nice to talk about academy stuff instead of sex, politics, your mother, religion or trauma.

When Oriana figured out that Gabrielle wasn't going to convert she asked if she could serve you at all or if she could be dismissed to the baths. You really hoped for a moment there you'd found the loophole into getting her to treat you like a normal person. Dismissing her Cynthia asked if you wanted to join them in the upper class baths. You looked at Gabrielle who's hair had dried. "Did you have a bath or did you just dunk your hair into the water?" Gabrielle froze and shot you a guilty look before recovering and finishing off the last of her notes. "We'll both join you," you stop, lot of public nudity for Gabrielle. "Do you want to come with us to the bath, everyone will be naked."

Gabrielle looked down at your crotch and a blush rose at memories from last night. She cleared her throat and stood up. "Fine. I still need to ask Oriana a few more questions."

Cynthia jumped up from her seat and the three of you made your way to the upper class bath. Gabrielle was shoved into a free changing room with some instructions while Cynthia hurried you into another one shutting the door behind herself and staring at you.
