Routine and teasing

Other than some playful teasing, your day at work is fairly routine. Work on the crystal ballista is stalled out for the moment as you await some new crystal. In the meantime, the five of you work on some small machines for the border outposts, which have apparently reported increased probes from forces loyal to the demon lord.

Marin monopolizes a lot of your time, making use of you as an extra set of strong hands to speed the work of the smaller members of the team. Meanwhile, you notice her having a quiet conversation with Sanni, both of them smiling. Afterwards, she pulls you aside.

With a grin, she kisses your cheek. “You did so well, Greg! Sanni is absolutely head over heels for you. Thank you for being so sweet to her…she’s probably my closest friend.”

You smile. “She mentioned that you two came to the city together.”

The big tiger girl nods. “We’ve known each other a long time. It’s good to see her finally find happiness. I’m going to need to think up a good reward for you!”

You laugh. “You don’t need to do that! Just being around you girls is plenty.”

Marin grins, shaking her head. “Nope! We’re gonna have fun with this! Besides, we’re already planning on moving in, gotta get everyone all together. Don’t worry, it’ll be fun for me too!”

You smile. “I had no doubt about that. I don’t know how I’ll keep up with all of you.”

Hayley wanders by and interjects. “You won’t! That’s why we’re going to keep you as our toy in the end.”

She winks, and Marin laughs. “I like that! I can’t imagine you’ll object too much, Greg?”

You chuckle. “Well, maybe a little. I’d hoped you girls would like me for more than sex.”

Marin nods. “Of course we do, but it’s fun to tease you! Don’t worry, we’ll only tie you down on special occasions.”

Hayley giggles. “Yeah, special occasions, like any time we can!”

The three of you laugh, and you shake your head. “I’m willing to try anything, just so you know, but make sure I get a break on occasion!”

Marin and Hayley share a glance, and Hayley grins. “Anything? I’ll hold you to that, big guy!”

The red headed dwarf playfully swats your butt as she walks away, laughing. You chuckle and turn to Marin. “Should I be worried?”

The tiger girl grins. “Probably.”
