Blended together

Naturally, everyone is pretty excited to go visit Dave and Lisa again, and much like last time, the drive is filled with conversation. As you expected, Mazzy and Dakota have their heads together, but this time Mazzy also has her phone out. You assume they’re messaging either Lisa or Katie, and you wonder if they’ll finally explain their plot today.

Ellie is on her phone as well, apparently chatting with Saya. The odd duo have already become good friends, and you’re glad to see Ellie happily chatting away with someone outside your little family. For all the difference in appearance, the orc and goblin seem to be very similar otherwise. You reach over and gently pat Ellie on the head, and she looks up at you and smiles, before going back to her messages.

As for Kenna, the dragon girl is singing along to the music you have playing. Loudly, and off key. No one seems to mind, and you find her poor singing endearing, especially with how obviously happy she is. You do catch Ellie giggling beside you, and you can’t help but smile a little yourself. Glancing back at Kenna, you see her flash you a grin and a wink. As always, a complete lack of shame on her part, and as always, you’re glad.

Arriving at Dave and Lisa’s place, you see Dave grilling once again, and Lisa is there to greet you. You don’t get any kind of a show from Saya this time, however, as the big orc is relaxing in the back yard, fully dressed. Ellie immediately sits down beside her, and the two of them pick up their conversation.

Mazzy and Dakota drag Lisa away, and you hear the three of them laughing as they go inside the house. You guess that they’re off to find Katie, and finish plotting with the slime girl.

Which leaves you and Kenna to chat with Dave. This seems to suit the dragon girl fine, and the three of you have a pleasant conversation that ranges from barbecue techniques to sports talk. Of course, Kenna can’t help herself, and soon she has an arm around your waist, her hand in your butt. She gives you a squeeze, and has a satisfied grin on her face. If Dave notices, he gives no signs, continuing to talk about the ribs he’s cooking.

If you’re honest with yourself, it hardly feels like the two families are separate at this point. The two groups blend together seamlessly, and everyone enjoys being together, clearly.

After a short while, the conspirators emerge from the house. They’re still chattering back and forth, and they still have big smiles. They all seem pleased with themselves, and as they gather around the table as Lisa waves the rest of you over.
