Lisa, Claire's wife.

It's the woman from the picture you saw earlier today. Claire and the woman share a quick kiss, with the woman's hands on Claire's hips. They break away rather quickly and Claire pouts, clearly wanting more. The woman approaches with confidence in each step.

You get up from sewing and try remember why she looks familiar. You recall correctly that it's--

"My name is Lisa." The woman in the business attire greeted. "I'm happy you finally made it in this town. You know you're the first melee to come to this town."

You introduce yourself politely, shaking her hand, taking note how soft they feel. You correct her by saying its Male, not Melee. Lisa hears Claire say something and turns to Claire.

That's rather rude of her. In a conversation and leaves, moreso to a guest and someone she just met. She's had a busy day at work so you'll ignore it. Not like her rudeness will become a topic that's addressed later. Right? Right??

Although it's only first introductions you wonder how she looks without the business clothes on. Compared to Claire, she's a cup or two bigger, and fills the outfit quite nicely. Maybe you can shower with her sometime.

You notice there's a two holes on her pantyhose. You make a mental note to sew that up too.

You see the sweat that rolls down her face. It hits her outfit, and she's clearly sweating a bit, just like you were when you first arrived.

"How was work today honey?" Claire asks, "Dinner will be ready in a minute, I just need to heat the food up on the pan."

You hear the stove fire up as Claire reheats the food on the pan. It seems dinner is almost ready. Your stomach growls. So does Lisa's. You continue to sew, watching how the two interact.

"The office's AC still isn't repaired yet." Lisa says, going to the shoe rack to put her heels away. "Where's Laura?"

"I think she's still at the gym." Claire said, reheating up a storm. "She'll be here soon, so you'll have a partner to shower with later."

"Always at the gym or park." A hint of annoyance could be heard, "When I was her age I--"

"--would be helping the community with the plants or events." Claire finishes the sentence.

"Exactly." Lisa says, taking off her first layer, leaving only her shirt and skirt left.

She's still sweaty and puts the clothes to the clothes bin to be washed later. She groans as she stretches. Cracks could be hear, the kind when you don't move for a while and when you the crack noise happens. She's clearly sore from work.

Maybe you can help her relax after dinner?

She catches you staring at her. She gets up from the couch and sits beside you.

"Is something the matter?" Lisa asks, trying to sew with you, "How much has my lovely Claire told you about this town's culture?"

You explain the shower situation, the request-to-redeem-rudeness system, and the adoption system so far.

"You aren't shocked by any of this are you?"

You nod yes, but quickly say you wish to learn more about this town's culture, all the while showing the women here your culture.

"A give-and-take of information." Lisa smiles and gives you a friendly slap on the shoulder, "If there's anything you want to teach us, I'm positive anyone in this town will be eager to learn it."

Her slap messes up your concentration and you prick yourself. You considered yourself lucky as no blood was drawn.

"My goodness are you okay?!" Lisa brings your hand closer for inspection. You feel her breasts against your forearm. "I should've been more careful or you should've gotten hurt."

Her soft hands are wrapped around yours. "If there's anything I can do to make you feel better, just ask away! I'll do it!"

The request system really is a serious thing here. You gulp.

You see the gears in her mind race as she lets out a gasp, "I also ignored you when you said something about Melees, right?"

You nod.

The shock in her face almost doubles. Instead of guilt tripping her , you tell her you'll think of something later, to which she slowly releases and understands.

"Just name the price and I'll do it." She gives you a serious look. You feel a bit aroused from her expression.

"Dinner's ready!" Claire says. "Laura will be here after dinner probably. One of the people requested her to stay a bit longer. Probably Fiona." she sighs, "Those two can get along on some days but rivals the next."

Resetting your priorities, you leave your seat to help Claire set the dishes and food as Lisa sits in one of the dinner table chairs.

So far Claire owes you two requests as well as Lisa.

Although you don't entirely understand why their culture involves making up for past actions like rudeness, you won't question it too much as you'll find a way to benefit from it.

Your schemes are put on hold as you eat dinner. Nothing really happens at dinner, but the food was delicious and you compliment Claire for her skills with food. She smiles and Lisa does too. Lisa's happy you appreciate her wife's cooking as she does too.

Claire tells you that Laura will get home a little after dinner most likely. Dinner finishes as you help Lisa wash the dishes. Claire went to give some of their food to the next door couple: May and Penny.
