Group activity

With everyone helping, it doesn’t take long to get the furniture moved into the new bedroom. Assembly takes a little bit longer, with everyone taking time to chat with Sirona. The manticore warms to them quickly, and despite her obvious nervousness, she’s soon having a normal conversation with everyone else. At one point, she leans against you to whisper in your ear.

“Thank you for bringing me here. I never thought it would be so good!”

You chuckle, and give her a quick hug and a kiss. Kenna spots it, and chuckles. “Look at you two, already in the cuddles and kisses stage. It’s adorable.”

Sirona blushes, and you smile. “You’re just jealous that she didn’t need to run me over to get my attention.”

Kenna shrugs. “Whatever it takes, my mate. Are you complaining about my methods?”

You laugh. “Not at all, looking up your skirt was an interesting first impression, though!”

The dragon girl winks. “Hey, if you’ve got it, flaunt it! Next time I won’t wear panties.”

Sirona looks back and forth between you and Kenna. “I feel like…there’s a story here. Umm…what happened?”

You chuckle. “Not a lot to it. I first met Kenna at the cafe, as they were getting ready for opening. She bowled me over, and so I got a good view of her from the floor.”

Dakota grins as she interrupts. “We might have set that up just a little bit.”

Mazzy nods. “Yeah, we had our eyes on Kenna before Brian did. In fact, Sirona, I think you’re the first one he picked out all on his own!”

Sirona looks at you. “Really?”

You nod. “Yeah. Mazzy was the first, and obviously she made that choice. Ellie is Mazzy’s friend, and I agreed to sponsor her as well. Dakota had a crush on me, and made a move after meeting Mazzy. And you heard how I met Kenna.”

Ellie cuts in. “Mazzy k-kind of runs the show now.”

Mazzy grins. “Not that Brian complains!”

You shrug. “I don’t mind. Besides, we’re family, right?”

Sirona laughs, surprising you. “Amazing. I never…this is so much better than what I was told. You are…all of you are great!”

Kenna grins, but instead of saying anything, she walks over and gives Sirona a hug. The manticore stiffens for a moment, then relaxes, sighing as she returns the hug. As the two separate, Sirona is smiling widely.

Of course, it’s Dakota who interjects next. “Soooo…feeling a bit more comfortable with us, now?”

Sirona nods, and Dakota giggles. “Sooo…can you answer my question from earlier?”

Sirona looks a little bit confused. “What? I don’t…oh! You mean…”

Dakota grins.”I wanna know about your tail!”

Sirona blushes a bright red. “I…I suppose there’s non harm in telling you. Manticore tails are…sexual organs as well. The end is…well, it’s very sensitive, and can be…used. Like between my legs.”

Dakota claps her hands, excitedly. “Tail pussy! It’s real!”

Kenna laughs. “I had forgotten that part. But thanks for sharing, Sirona.”

You gather the furiously blushing manticore in a hug. “No need to be embarrassed, Sirona. I’m sure you’ll get used to the sexual talk. Even Ellie has, after all!”

Ellie nods. “It was e-embarrassing at first. But n-now it’s fun!”

Mazzy finishes putting sheets on the assembled bed, and claps her hands to get everyone’s attention. “As fun as it is to tease Sirona, I think we’re done getting everything together here. We should let her settle in. I’ll make us some food.”

With that, she bounces out of the room, heading for the kitchen. Ellie follows her, and Dakota and Kenna head to the living room, having a lively discussion of monster girl anatomy. You start to follow, but Sirona stops you.

She smiles, and leans in to kiss you. “Thanks again for…everything. I think I will be happy here.”

With a smile, she lets you go, and you leave her to unpack in peace.
