Punt! STALL! EQUIVICATE!

Jenny had already stepped into the bathroom so she hadn't heard Siobhan's question. Thinking quickly, I take stock of the situation.

That the die has powers was already a given. Neither of us would doubt that. The humming blonde in the bathroom was more than enough proof for either of us. But the stray ruby red hairs that Siobhan had found on my pillowcase were the exact same hue as the...witch? Demoness? Xarira hadn't actually said what she was, only that she wasn't human. There's no good reason to lie to Siobhan, but I just can't bring myself to tell her about my "dream" just yet.

"Look," I whisper to her, hoping not to be heard over the shower water, "It's got something to do with my die. Our die. I had a really weird dream and while I will tell you everything, I think we need to get ourselves some privacy first."

Siobhan pouted a little bit, attempting to use the puppy-dog eyes, but she quickly realized that discretion might be the best option. "Alright. I get it. I like Jenny, but we did just met her I guess we should wait until after we've gotten her taken care of. Wait, why are you laughing?" My chuckling interrupted her nascent monologue.

"Babe. WE just met each other."

Biting her lip, she tried to keep a grin off her face. "Well, in that case, I'm going to go shower with Jenny. You can wait until after we're done before you get yours. After all, you're practically a stranger, aren't you?" With that she turned, entered the bathroom and locked the door.

"Yeah...well...you had some of this stranger's cum on your cheek that entire conversation." I yelled through the door to peals of laughter from within.

While I waited I did some quick searching on my phone. The terms Ceridwen and Xarira produced shockingly few results. Even fewer when searched together. The only thing the search engine produced were websites that were about a half step above an old Geocities blog. Xarira was a name whispered by these sites with equal measure reverence and fear. Definitely seemed like crossing her wouldn't be a great move. As I was about to dig deeper the door opened and a voluminous plume of steam proceeded the two woman. Siobhan's apartment building seemed pretty new. Hopefully there was still some hot water left.

With neither Siobhan or Jenny to distract me, my shower was pretty quick. When I emerged I saw a fully dressed Jenny looking a little impatient. "Could you get her to hurry up? I really don't want to face my mom with all of this by myself, but she's not even dressed!"

"Well...she put on panties...very adorable panties..." A quick elbow to my ribs broke me out of the reverie.

"I know you're in a hurry Jenny," Siobhan called over he shoulder, "I'm just getting some coffee going. I'll be ready to go in just a bit."

Snapped back to reality, I turned to the barely legal blonde next to me, "What's your plan when we get you home? How can we help? And does your mom have a gun?"
