Emotional growth

You lead Ferra to the dining room so you can talk with her for a while. Along the way, you find yourself glancing over at her repeatedly. It’s hard to believe that she’s not flesh and blood, just from watching her. Her red hair moves naturally, she doesn’t seem to move unnaturally, and even her…assets seem to bounce as she walks. She’s shorter than you, just reaching your shoulder.

As the two of you sit, her gaze settles in you, her unblinking, glowing orange eyes regarding you with muted curiosity. “What are we doing here? What can I do to serve you?”

You shake your head. “I wanted to talk, to get to know more about you. If we’re going to journey together, we should know each other.”

Ferra cocks her head slightly. “When I was created, I was given much knowledge by Kali and Clarissa. I know all about you already, Nicholas. And later, Sadie shared more knowledge, and told me it would make you and I happy.”

You chuckle. “I have to admit my curiosity about that last part.”

Ferra looks at you for a moment, then nods. “She said to start with this.”

Suddenly, Ferra’s clothing fades, leaving her naked before you. Her body is flawless, and you stare at her bare breasts for a moment, before coming to your senses. “Ferra! You should put your clothes back on…”

She blinks, looking slightly confused, and then her skintight outfit reappears. “Sadie said I should show you my body when we are alone. Was that wrong?”

Composing yourself, you try to frame an answer. “Well, yes and no. It’s not something you should do in the dining room, maybe wait until we are somewhere private.”

Ferra nods. “I see my error now. My apologies if I upset you.”

You chuckle. “Not at all. You’re very attractive, Ferra. I just would prefer that my family doesn’t walk in on things like that.”

She nods again. “I understand.”

You smile. “So, you already know a lot, but apparently you will change over time?”

She folds her hands on the table. “Yes. Kali explained to me that my personality will ‘unlock’ over time, molded by my interactions. Apparently, it needs to work this way to avoid overwhelming my spirit.”

You nod. “So who you become is based on how I treat you? That’s interesting.”

She looks around. “That’s correct. I hope that we grow to like each other, mast…Nicholas.”

You smile. “I hope so too, Ferra.”
