Satisfaction and satiation

Your mood only lasts until you get home, thankfully. As you walk in the door, you’re greeted by Sirona, who bounds up to you, visibly excited. So excited, in fact, that she drops the usual hesitation and shyness of her speech.

“Brian! Mazzy took me to the cafe today, and it was amazing! Everyone is so nice, and I got to do some cooking, and Ellie said I did a great job, and…”

She stops, blushing, as she realizes that she’s rambling. You save her from her own embarrassment by pulling her into a hug. Sirona squeezes you tightly, and sighs happily. Over her shoulder, you see Mazzy standing in the hall, a satisfied smile on her face. Catching your eye, she gives you a wink. You and Sirona separate, and you both look at the little halfling. Chuckling, you shake your head.

“Here to give Sirona the ‘I told you so’, Mazzy?”

Mazzy shakes her head. “Nope! Already did that.”

Sirona nods. “On the way home. They teased me a little bit. It was…fun. I like this…family.”

Mazzy smiles again, walking over to Sirona and taking her hand. “I hope we didn’t take it too far. It was all in good fun.”

Sirona shakes her head, smiling down at Mazzy. “Not at all. I makes me feel…included, like I’m already part of the family.”

You smile to see the two of them getting along so well. Mazzy is always so thoughtful, so of course she would worry. Really though, you can’t picture any of the girls going too far with the teasing. None of them are spiteful or mean, and they all get along so well. It shows, in that Mazzy thought to check up on Sirona.

You glance around. “So, where is everyone? Usually I’m getting swarmed by now.”

Mazzy laughs. “Feeling neglected, dearest?”

You roll your eyes. “Just wondering, is all.”

Mazzy giggles. “It’s so easy to get you, love! Dakota and Ellie went shopping, but they wouldn’t say for what.”

You chuckle. “Knowing Dakota, that means something wild. Should be fun.”

Mazzy nods. “Definitely! Oh, as for Kenna, she’s discovered microwave popcorn. She’s on the couch, eating.”

From the living room, you hear Kenna’s voice, clearly talking around a mouthful of food. “It’s good! And I told you, I’m a dragon, I need a lot of food!”

You walk into the living room to see the dragon girl lounging on the couch, holding a bag of popcorn. There’s at least two empty bags on the table beside her, and she pauses with a handful halfway to her mouth. She raises an eyebrow and smiles.

“Something wrong, my mate?”

You chuckle. “Nope! Just make sure you don’t overdo it.”

Kenna shrugs. “I think I have things under control. After all I doubt you have any complaints about this, right?”

She spreads her arms wide and shakes her chest. You chuckle, shaking your head. Despite the popcorn crumbs and huge appetite, Kenna is undeniably gorgeous.

“None at all. But you should probably clean up your mess before Ellie gets home. You know how mad she gets about a dirty house.”

Kenna nods, stuffing the handful of popcorn into her mouth. She gives you a thumbs up, and begins to pick up her mess. Chuckling to yourself, you head off to take a shower, already feeling better than before.
