Breakfast With the Gang

Somehow, the father-daughter duo manage to leave the room without any further delay. They head down to the hotel’s restaurant, where the other members of Eris’ party have already secured a big table.

“Morning Mr Andive! Eris!” Marcus greets politely, hoping to give a good impression to his future father-in-law.

However, the glare he receives in return makes him shiver. ‘Did I do something wrong?’ He wonders, not knowing he was probably the one sole member who had yet to play a role in Eris’ corruption.

Brandon wisely chooses to remain quiet, opting for a simple wave before returning to picking at his food.

“Daddy, meet Celia and Droopy!” Eris doesn’t pick up on Adam’s sudden hostility towards her two childhood friends, excited to introduce the two new friends he made.

“Pleasure to meet you sir.” Celia rises from her seat and shakes Adam’s hand.

‘Wow. What a hunk!’ She thinks. ‘I’d love to get a taste of him.’

“Hello!” Droopy cheerfully waves. In these towns far away from the Capital, people tend to be less wary of undesirables and so the goblin is back in all his green, grotty glory.

“You’ve certainly made some interesting friends.” Her father says, side-eying the goblin. “But I’m glad you made friends with a girl your age,” not realizing that Celia was the most depraved person at the table.

“Yeah, your daughter and I have become the best of friends.” The succubus slings her arm around Eris’ shoulder and makes kissy faces at her, as the redhead flushes and tries to push her off.

‘Ah, just gals being pals. How nice!’ Adam smiles.
