The Game plan

Lexie is back to her normal self for the time being, happy, upbeat and cheerful "Sooo, what do you wanna discuss, Darien?" she asks.

"Ahh, not much, we can talk more tomorrow. Just going to fill both of you in on the game plan in the coming days. So, Hawk and a small group of scouts are heading south tomorrow morning, they will ride ahead of us to a Rathkin city named Murnic. It's just north of Rathkin Empire." you carry on as Ashe and Lexie are listening contently "If they sense any issues, they will send someone back to warn us, or allow us to prepare better anyway. If, all goes well, we will take control of that small village, spend a night or two there to rest and recuperate before we go all in against Rathkin." both ladies are just nodding "Sounds good?"

"I think it's a great plan. I just wish..." Lexie looks down at the ground.

"You're going to make sure Sicilian stays safe!" you look at her as you see Ashe put an arm around her shoulder.

"Speaking of that..." Ashe finally says a word "I'm going to kick your ass for getting Lexie pregnant! She was my buddy, we were going to war together, and now, she's got to sit on the side line! You couldn't have just waited to unload your seed into her until afterwards?" she's angry with you "And Lexie!" she turns towards her "Those herbal potions you can drink which cleanse our bodies of any unwanted sperm, why did you not drink that the day after?"

"Uhh..well..." Lexie is speechless.

"Oh my god. It wasn't unwanted was it?!" she playfully shoves Lexie "You little..."

"No...not...I don't know. Not really. I wasn't planning on it...it's just...after that night we shared...it was magical. It was...I didn't, I couldn't think about anything else afterwards...just, just him."

You're just staying quiet, looking at Lexie while Ashe continues to assault the two of you. Her head going back and forth looking at Lexie, then you, then Lexie, then you. "Wait a minute..." she brings her index finger out and places it on Lexie's right cheek, she pulls her finger causing Lexie's head to slowly turn to greet Ashe's. "Are you two in love?"

"Ashe, that's enough." you finally let out "Let's talk about this a different time...yeah?"

"Fine fine..." she continues her grinning smile at Lexie while she shakes her head.

"Yeah, plus we need to get you ready for your date with Hawk tonight!" Lexie finally looks back at Ashe, her tongue poking out at her.

"Date?" Ashe and yourself say at the same time.

"Yup, a date! A double date!" she stands up, grabbing Ashe's hands and pulling her up too "Let's go clean up!"

"Yeah, Ashe. Got to make sure you're all ready for your night with Hawk." you grin at her.

"Uhh..yeah sure." Ashe smiles as Lexie starts to pull her into the bathroom.

"Darien, give us some time, we're going to wash up, we can meet you someplace...or if you want to stay here you can?"

"Sounds good."

Lexie continues to pull Ashe into the bathroom so the two girls can get ready together, as they are just about to enter they get stopped by Darien asking a question "Hey Lexie, mind if I borrow Ashe for just a minute, I need to talk with her about something. Nothing important, she'll join you soon."

"Sure thing!" Lexie steps into the bathroom "Come in when you're done, Ashe!" she closes the door behind her.

Ashe just stands there, her head tilted toward the ground, her eyes looking up "Yes?"
