Going for some Food

As tantalizing as Vanessa's melons or Danna's peaches or even buttering up a piece of Summer's muffin, my main hunger right now was my primary one. I could feel my stomach growl as I realize that I really only ate the Tank Burger earlier today.

"Alright, well, I'm going to get some food now," I said. I headed to the buffet area and scanned what was available for tonight's menu. There were burgers, some pizza, grilled chicken, and even an area to make your own taco. On the other side was a decent sized salad bar and the drink station. I picked myself up a plate of burgers and fries, along with a cup of cola. I also grabbed a few slices of freshly cut watermelon onto my tray.

As I looked around for what other food I wanted to have, I passed by the dessert area. That place had a whole smorgasbord of delicious and sweet treats to enjoy. My mind began to think about tracing Summer's body with whipped cream and slowly licking it off of her, revealing her lovely freckles one at a time. Or about Danna slowly nibbling at a soft cookie on Regina's tits, gently bouncing them with each bite. Quickly, I shook those thoughts out of my head. No! Bad Maria! This is a public place! Stop thinking about it before the ring accidentally makes it happen. Thankfully, the ring remained cold.

With my tray of food, I began to make my way back to my table when I noticed someone. Normally, I wouldn't pay much attention to others, but she caught my eye. Not because she was attractive, though she definitely seemed to slack on her appearance and wardrobe, but because she was sitting alone and looking very somber. I peeked over towards my table, where Danna was eating her food and Vanessa was returning with her plate, with no sign of Summer or Regina. I mustered up my resolve and headed over to the lone girl.

"Hi, I couldn't help but notice that you were looking kind of sad. Are you alright?" I asked, setting my tray down. I tried my best to give her a warm welcoming smile.

The woman tiled her head up to look at me. Her eyes were sunken and her black hair was a mess, like having just gotten out of bed. Her cheeks were flush and her skin looked somewhat pale. Her clothes looks like she had just thrown them on not too long ago, all wrinkled and mismatched.

"Oh, sorry, am I in your way? I'll go," the woman said, starting to get up.

"No, wait," I said, grabbing her wrist. "I just saw you and I wanted to see if you were okay." I may be now a Ringmaster and in a polycule with some of the hottest girls I think I'll ever know, but I still was Maria. I couldn't just leave someone who looked like they needed someone. I focused a bit on the ring as I felt its warmth. "Sit down and tell me what's going on."

The woman sighed and sat back down. She played with her fork before finally talking to me. "My family have completely disowned me and are threatening to stop paying for my tuition."

"What? That's terrible," I said, not even noticing that I put my hand on hers as a show of compassion. "Why would they do that?"

"I refused to go along with this arranged marriage set up they wanted for me." Strange, I thought that arranged marriages were a thing of the past. "I don't like the guy. They know I don't. I've hated him since I met him."

"That awful," I said. "Why would they **** you to do that?"

"The same reason anyone does a **** marriage: Money." The woman's eyes sunk deeper into her skull as she said that. She banged her hand on the table. "That's all I am in their eyes. A way for them to get rich. Not caring whether they ruin my future or not."

My eyes went from the woman's face to the ring. I could help her fix up her life a little bit. Nothing too overdramatic, considering trying to turn Regina into a student would have. Or, maybe she just needs some love? Or, maybe even something else?
