Steve

Steve phoned Mina on the way to work letting her know that Mitch would like to talk to her about maybe helping out with the bucks night.

“So he would like me to dress sexily and be fucked by a dozen guys as entertainment?” she asked.

Steve smiled over the phone, “Yeah I suppose that’s it, I don’t know if he wants just you or a few Mythfolk, you think you could find others who would be interested?”

Mina laughed, “Kaya for one,” she replied. “Bring him around tonight and we can figure out the details.

Steve laughed, “I think Kaya will be attending Jan’s Hen’s night. And I can’t come around tonight, I have a date with Jan and Kaya.”

“Pft, you and your lovie stuff,” she scoffed, “I suppose it will have to wait, what with the house warming on Friday, maybe Saturday night?”

“Sounds good, I will check with him. And will I see you at the housewarming?” He asked.

“Yep, I will be there, looking forward to it, still renewing contacts with some of my friends from back home. My uncle will be there too if Jan is interested in trying some orc.”

“I will be sure to let her know. But right now I’m just getting to the office. Oh that reminds me, do you know an Amat?”

“Yeah,” she exclaimed, “I thought she was still in the way house, she’s a friend of the family, my uncle did her tattoo work.”

“I didn’t see any tattoos?” Steve said, the question evident in his voice.

“Ahh, then you haven’t fucked her,” the tone she had was not one Steve was used to, he supposed it was a teasing tone of the orc but didn’t sound like the kind of tone he was used to with people.

He shrugged it off, “Alright, well I will see you tomorrow. And check with Mitch he is happy to meet you Saturday.” They said their goodbyes before Steve got out of his car. Quickly he messaged Mitch letting him know they could meet Mina and discuss the bachelor party on Saturday night. Mitch responded quickly with the thumbs up.

Entering the office, he found the place in an early hubbub, apparently there was some new work to be done. He made his greetings to his workmates and headed to his office. He was surprised when he got there to find a single long antler sitting on his desk. He was still pondering its presence when Amat came in. She was wearing a business style skirt suit, though it was obvious she was not wearing a shirt under her buttoned business coat, he hair was elaborately tied up in a hair style Steve did not recognise, and she had no antlers.

“I wanted to thank you for being so nice to me, I am giving my other Antler to man from the restaurant the other night,” she explained.

“Thank you, is this a custom of your people?” he asked, not wanting to be disrespectful.

She nodded before responding, “Each year when our antlers shed we give them as gifts of thanks. A single antler, or two for particularly special thanks, I wanted to give you two, but also wanted to give one to the Italian,” she said the word slowly as if it was new to her, “for his help and welcome.”

“Well thank you, are we still on for coffee today? You me and Keron?” He asked.

She nodded, “I will let you get back to work, but when you are ready come and get me and Keron and we can have coffee and talk.”

As she left Steve took his seat and logged in, checking the morning news. There he saw several stories from different newspapers about Tucci’s, depending upon the slant of the paper the story either said that mythfolk were causing issues with a local business, or that the business was being boycotted by people for their racist behaviours. He shook his head, there was going to be a lot more of this before things settled down.
