It’s time to settle for the night

As they eat, Nereus can't help but feel drawn to Juno. He tries to make small talk, hoping to learn more about her.

"So, Juno, what do you like to do for fun around here?" he asks, taking a bite of the savory stew.

Juno smiles coyly, taking a sip of her drink. "Oh, I like to do a lot of things for fun, Nereus," she says with a wink.

Nereus feels his face flush at her suggestive tone. "Uh, like what, for example?"

Juno leans in closer, her eyes sparkling mischievously. "Well, I could show you some things, if you're interested," she says, running a finger along the rim of her cup.

Nereus can feel his heart rate increase at her words. He's never been one for subtle flirtation, but he can't deny the attraction he feels towards Juno.

"I would like that," he says, his voice barely above a whisper.

Juno smiles wider, standing up from the table. "Come on then, I'll show you where you can sleep tonight," she says, gesturing for him to follow her.

As they walk to the small shack that will be Nereus' sleeping quarters for the night, he can't help but wonder what other pleasures this community has to offer.
