The streets are yours (metaphorically)

After another night of feeling on supple demonette flesh you prepare to head out on your journey. A quick bath and a full breakfast later and you're almost ready.

Of course the morning wouldn't be complete without flattery, "Amara, I swear your cooking and your beauty grow more wonderful by the second."

Amara's giggle is what you'll miss the most of this place, "Such a charmer, wasn't one red beauty enough for your appetite?"

Beaming with pride at her daughter who hides her face in her breakfast.

You can't help yourself, "As I'm sure you've noticed I have quite the appetite."

Ixy stands up from the table, "Well its about time for us to be going ain't it?"

Amara pouts playfully at her daughter, "Now honey, no need to be so possessive-"

"I'm not, but we are far too early in the plot for a demon threesome and a certain somebody has been eating with one hand cause he's had the other glued to my ass the whole time."

You look out the window with guilt, but you haven't removed your hand.

Amara grins teasingly, "An affectionate man is a good sign for marriage."

You hand freezes.

"What now? Maybe we should take things slow here."

Ixy grins conspiratorially "Oh? How slow? How far were you from knocking me up twice over last night? And I have a feeling you been dropping off baby batter as a side quest the last couple of days haven't you "daddy."

All at once it dawns on you the extent of your early game thotery, "Oh shi-"

Amara laughs, a low, guttural laugh, "Stop teasing him dear. Be at ease love, I took care of it."

You stare confused at the red fairy of contraception before you, "You did?"

Amara has a self satisfying grin, "Well, things are a bit randy in our world and it doesn't take long to breed an army around these parts. Young studs fall from the sky and end up with 20 kids overnight. When I was "assisting" you pick out some clothes I put a little birth control spell on you. Just try not to find a more powerful arch succubus out there and you'll be fine... I'm kidding you won't find one more powerful."

The smugness of that sexy grin puts you at ease.

With a twinkle in your eye you declare, "No child support formed against me shall prosper.....I know my mission, I must travel across this vast land shooting up the club!"

Ixy's eyes roll from here to the Himalayas as she gets up from the table, "Everybody needs a goal and every hole is a goal, now lets get going."

With breakfast finished you wave to Amara as you head out the door to start your adventure. Into the forest.

As you begin walking to the edge of town, last night starts nagging at you. Sensing your distraction Ixy looks to you, "What's the matter, not getting cold feet on me now?"

"Nah, I don't get cold feet, I never freeze and ask anybody playing NBA Jam I am and will always be the Man on Fire," you answer, "It's just last night, there was this haze."

The second you say that you see Ixy's tail go straight and she stops in place.

Her voice come uncharacteristically timid, "Haze, last night?"

You pick up on the abrupt change in behaviour, talking slowly, "Yeah. Like, as soon as you came in the room, my mind started feeling a little foggy."

Ixy seems a little more pink than red, is she going pale?

"So you felt like that all of last night," she speaks, almost in a whisper to confirm.

"Yeah, but is was really just a background thing for most of it, I just thought I was nervous," you reply and see some colour come back to her."

"Nervous, so you didn't really notice is, you didn't feel anything," she says, almost seeming to reassure herself more than you.

"Yeah, I mean until the end," you confirm.

"The end?"

"Yeah, started feeling it really strong after you fell asleep."

That one sentence sent Ixy right back to a dull pink hue, "Duin?"

You feel the tension.

"What happened after I fell asleep?"

"I mean, nothing. What's-"

Ixy turns to you, slowly stumbling forward hands thrown out to grip your chest weakly, "Duin, please. I need to know everything, don't lie."

You have no idea what could have her like this, but you can tell she needs this.

"You fell asleep, you were sleeping on top of me and you just looked so good. My hands were on you and your ass just felt right, you know? Then I started to rise like the south in 1861. That's when the haze started to feel real heavy in my mind."

"Then?"

"Nothing. It felt off, didn't feel right. I wasn't about to take advantage of a sleeping girl. So I just held you and then I didn't feel that haze anymore."

You see Ixy take a breath and wonder how long she's been holding it in, "That's it. That's the truth isn't it? I can tell."

You nod as you see the colour come back to her vibrant red skin.

"Wha-"

Your question is cut short by a hug.

"You don't get it, I know, I'll explain later. Maybe, probably...definitely, but let's keep going for now. Okay?"

You wrap a hand around Ixy, "Take your time. But I still don't know how much later we have, you know?"

The two of you start walking again as Ixy, with a renewed pep in her step starts talking again, "Fair point, I guess I have been making it sound like I plan to ditch you in the nearest...ditch, but I wasn't gonna be that crude. Promise."

You believe her, but the toothy grin is doing the opposite of reassuring you.

She continues, "I thought we'd go through the Forested Forest, spend some time in the nearest town and then go our separate ways. After all, you just got here, why tie yourself to me? I know we were pushy before, but you don't have to be an adventurer. I can take care of myself well enough, you can choose your own destiny, maybe be a cobbler."

You sense a tinge of conflicting emotions in Ixy and as you look at the approaching forest.

Stood at the foot of the forest you look over to your adventuring partner, "I don't know, I'm new in town, but I was never the dude spazzing on kicks even back when I was in the Bronx. Think I'll keep an eye on you for a bit. Make sure your fine ass mom ain't worried or nothing."

Ixy giggles a familiar giggle, "You're an ass."
