Well, it was great until the ending.

Everyone had agreed. Jayne was certainly the hero of the hour. Tasya even listened with rapt attention to Maria retell it, with perhaps some slight exaggerations. She was disappointed to have missed it. Plus she would’ve loved to have taken some readings in the room when all this was going on.

Perhaps he couldn’t show it. But Lord Lucero was especially proud of Jayne... and exceptionally annoyed by the Countess. From his point of view she didn’t just stand up to a, for lack of a better or less crass word, bully but also by revealing her use of an enchanted it and removing it, she had brought them all out from under the Countess’ influence. He did not, nor would even pretend to understand how that worked, or why she was able to resist it, no those were questions for those with an entirely different set of skills than he. It was slightly uncomfortable for him to admit it, but he owed the girl, they all did. That debt would have to be repaid another time, as presently he was making phone calls. Countess Waerhild’s actions could have been considered a breach of the Accord. Exposing her didn’t do them any good. No, he planned to use this as leverage, the fact Jeeves had secured the cloak in an anti-magic vault in the meantime meant he had proof of the transgression and no less than six witnesses.

He considered that perhaps other high-ranking members of the Watch used similar enchanted items... but then again these were not at all common. So there was a good chance others of the Watch had also suffered under her influence and they would not be so happy with the Countess either.

At the moment, Jayne had gone from being the eye of the storm to a food-induced coma, as she passed out. Maria picked her up and carried her over to the lounge, so she wouldn’t fall out of that dining room chair. It was a pity the Countess killed the mood, she’d wanted longer to appreciate Jayne like this. That split up to her hip...the low dip on her back, the way the dress matched her eyes, and she tied her shoes and accessories to a silver theme. She knew she had to have had help with it. But she was beautiful and tonight Jayne was their savior, and if she needed rest, she more than earned it.

Cecilia hadn’t yet revealed why she was here, she had arrived with the Countess, simply because sharing the transportation made sense, but she was here on Lord Lucero’s request to monitor Jayne now that she was manifesting her powers. She wandered over to where Maria sat with a sleeping Jayne and explained herself to the young knight.

“If it were anyone else than a friend and a Keeper, I think I might run you through...” Maria said protectively of Jayne. “But I can understand. Even she herself wants to know more. So you want to see what she’s dreaming about so soon after that to try and better understand what happened?”

Cecilia nodded, “it should not be dangerous, I can even bring your mind with me if you’d like to see.” Of course, Cecilia also wanted to be close to the young woman due to the aura she was giving off. It was... pleasant.

Maria took Jayne’s hand in hers and, “okay. Let's do this. But if she doesn’t like this or want us there, you take us out. Okay?”

Cecilia smiled and nodded, “I would never **** my gift in such a way as to be **** my way or my will on others.”

...

They found themselves in the maelstrom, hurricane-**** winds threatened to blow them away, the rain beat against their exposed skin with such **** it hurt. The thunder was deafening and lighting lit up the sky once more.

Maria hooked her arm with Cecilia’s to try and keep the two together “this is Jayne’s mind right now?!” She shouted in hopes the Keeper would hear her over the storm. But something sure heard her.

A glowing being, vaguely sapphire blue, with eyes that lit up with the lighting turned to see them. The creature was humanoid, feminine. It’s hair if you could call it that was entirely made of electricity. As it moved towards them, floating through the air, the storm seemed to move with it.

“You said this wouldn’t be dangerous,” Maria shouted accusingly to Cecilia.

“No, I said it SHOULDN’T be dangerous,” she corrected, “it’s possible Jayne’s mind has constructed some sort of defense!” She shouted back, albeit calmer.

As the entity close the distance between them, dragging the storm along, they had entered the eye of the storm with it. It was surprisingly quiet here while the storm continued to rage all around them. The lightning woman landed just a few yards from them and began to sprint towards them.

Maria adopted a fighting stance to protect Cecilia when something unexpected happened... the blue glow faded, replaced by white, freckled skin. The electrical hair turned curly read. Soon the two of them found they were being hugged by a very naked Jayne.

“Hey, you two!” She grinned and squeezed them into a hug. Her body was wet, but not even remotely cold. “I’m still trying to figure this place out...”

Maria piped up, “uhm, Jayne. You’re naked...”

The redhead giggled, “really? You’re standing inside the eye of a storm inside my mind, and the first thing that gives you pause is me being naked? Hey... It’s my mind... besides clothes seem to have a way of just getting wet here.”

Cecilia had so many questions, “okay. We know we’re in your mind... but can you tell us more about this place?” She had an idea what it was, but she wanted to know more first.

“I don’t know much... except I control the storm to an extent. I can’t make it stop or make it less severe, but the eye moves with me. Some part of me found this when the, I believe I am legally bound to make this pun at least once, and inside my own head seems like the safest place to do so... when the Cuntess” there was a snicker from Maria, and Cecilia covered her mouth to conceal her smile at that, “was laying into me. I felt was anger... and I was wandering out in there where you guys were, beyond the eye. As she continued I remember feeling the power and energy here... and I knew how easy it would be to just unleash it all on her.” she looks away a little ashamed, “but then... I’m not sure if I found the eye of the storm, or it found me. You can tell it’s so much quieter here, the thunder is even muffled and distant, the rain is a light sprinkle instead of a torrential downpour, and I barely even feel a breeze. So I’m not a psychologist, but I think my mind created some sort of medium to help me. Here in the eye of the storm, I didn’t feel the rage and anger that I felt outside of it. It let me calm down and... well you saw what happened.”

Maria looked around then smiled at Jayne, “that is really frickin’ cool, I could not be more proud of you if I tried by the way,” it was her turn to hug the wet redhead and planted a kiss on her cheek. The next flash of lightning illuminated something in the sky that resemble a valentine’s heart.

Cecilia stood in awe, “Jayne I’m not even sure if this is entirely a mental construct... it is of course possible, as dreams work, your mind using analogies and allegories to sort through other problems. But this feels so real... somehow this even helped you to resist the enchanted item the Countess was using... and thank you by the way You really did save us from her influence. The moment that cape hit the ground it was,” Maria and Cecilia said in unison without any plan, “such a relief.” They laughed.

Jayne grinned and took them each by the hand, “come with me,” they walked through a devastated neighborhood, into a backyard. The house that had been there was almost entirely gone. All that was left was the foundation and part of the bathroom. But that’s not the reason for Jayne bringing them here... No, she lead them to a fully functioning hot tub, in the eye of the storm. It didn’t make much sense, but not much about this place did.

“So... as you can see, the place is a real fixer-upper, but it came with a hot tub,” she laughed and let go of their hands and she climbed into the hot tub, sinking down to her neck to relax in the warm water, “join me won’t you?”

Maria seemed a little conflicted about this with Cecilia here... but then again she had no eyes. Not that it stopped her from seeing. She began to strip, and Cecilia soon after.

“No, you’re doing it wrong...” Jayne said smugly.

“How so?” asked Maria, then she glanced over to Cecilia to see her butt naked with no closes discarded anywhere. “What...?”

Cecilia smiled, the voluptuous blonde climbing into the hot tub explained, “it’s simple. We’re inside her mind. Our clothes don’t really exist. Imagine yourself without them...” Cecilia had retained her silver blind, she didn’t really feel like having her naked eye sockets out.

Maria thought about it a moment, then looked down at her body, her clothes were gone. “That’s... really convenient. It’s totally a ‘there is no spork’ moment.” the three ladies settled in, Maria scooting next to Jayne and cuddling with her... then she looked over at Cecilia who was all by herself. She was already considering sharing Jayne with Tasya back in the real world... and even though she didn’t have that emotional connection, Cecilia was totally a bombshell. Plus this was actually all in Jayne’s head so... “come on over Cecilia, sit on Jayne’s other side.”

Jayne eyed Maria, then Cecilia. She had questions but she didn’t want to interrupt now... there was the much more important issue of being pressed in between two beautiful women.

Cecilia hesitated, “are... you sure?”

Maria arched an eyebrow and reached under the water, she began stroking Jayne’s cock, “Yeah I’m pretty sure... now come on over before I change my mind,” she grinned. Jayne moaned.

Jayne had to be dreaming... well she was dreaming. But was this really happening right now? Maria, the woman she’d come to think of as her girlfriend so quickly, and now, Cecilia... the voluptuous Keeper? She melted happily squished between the two women, their bodies radiated warmth, desire, passion. She was hard enough to cut diamonds right now.

Cecilia trembled a bit, she herself had a hard time believing this happening... she had dreamily thought about Jayne since trying to help her forget that horrible time. Of course, if she was truthful to herself or others for that matter, her reasonings were not entirely selfless. Jayne was like a magnet to her, once she got close enough she craved to go all the way. To feel herself skin to skin with the young woman. With one hand she reached forward and began to fondle Jayne’s breasts, the other slipping deeper underwater, traveling past Maria’s hand to massage her very full balls. She had noticed she’d changed since they met. She didn’t want to comment about the size of anything not plainly visible, so as she circled the redhead’s nipple with her thumb, “you’ve grown since I’ve last seen you,” she commented.

Jayne nodded as she whimpered in pleasure. “I learned how to use whatever spell I learned that day... I can shape my own flesh and bone. I have no desire to try that on anyone else. Wouldn’t recommend doing as much as I did all at once either... Maria knows.”

Maria smirked slightly and squeezed the cock in her hand gently, “Yeah, she scared me to ****... I was cuddling her one moment the next she’s asking me to cover her mouth so she doesn’t scream and she’s shapeshifting right underneath me... bones cracking and body making all kinds of uncomfortable sounds.” Maria leaned in, this was so real... she could smell Jayne’s unique scent, she hesitated a moment, even though there was no reason to now, it was just a dream, sort of. She planted her lips on Jayne’s neck and began showering her in kisses up to her ear which she nibbled gently. She really did taste good. She whispered... “since this a dream... we can lose our virginity to each other. Before were lose our virginity to each other.” She felt Jaynes cock twitch mightly at that thought, “mmmh, you like that idea.” So did she really. She was sopping wet below, and it sure as can be wasn’t just the water.

While Cecilia found that bit about Jayne’s power very fascinating, asking about it was not a pressing concern of hers at the moment. She heard what Maria whispered, and whimpered slightly at the thought herself, “please... me too. You know my order may not feel the touch of a man.”

“Are you girls sure I didn’t die back there... this isn’t heaven?” Jayne said, her heart racing in her chest. She looked to Maria for her approval.

Maria smiled back at her, knowing she was being asked for permission first. “I see no reason we can’t help you, Cecilia... But I call first dibs.” She smiled at the blonde Keeper. Part of her wondered why she was okay with this. Maybe because it was all in Jayne’s head? Maybe because she didn’t see Cecilia as a threat to their relationship? She had been celibate all her life, now she had a girlfriend... for barely a day, and here she was willing to share her with other women... That sounded fundamentally wrong to her, but for some reason, it just didn’t matter with Jayne. As long as she was hers.

Cecilia gave the couple a wry smile, “your terms are acceptable” She bit her bottom lip, her skin was so flushed red right now. She stopped fondling Jayne’s tit to reach underwater down to her own needy sex. She was so turned on and excited to be here while the young couple made love for the first time, she felt her heart in her throat, so great her anticipation was.

Jayne watched with reverence as Maria moved to straddle her. The warrior's powerful thighs surrounding her. She thought for sure her heart was going to explode now.

Maria was nervous as fuck all. Part of her couldn’t believe this was happening... but of course it wasn’t quite really happening. She leaned in close, her lips inches from Jayne’s “kiss me.” Was all she had to say.

The redhead ran her hands up Maria’s body until they came to rest on the back of her head and neck, and pulled her in for a kiss. Neither of them knew what they were doing. Their first attempt was barely a peck on each other’s lips... then another... another... another. The kissing became fevered, needy, they began to experiment with open mouth kisses, she felt Maria shivering from the excitement. Finally, the two reluctantly separated,

“That was my first kiss.” the two said at the exact same time, surprising each other before breaking out into giggles.

“May it be the first of many wonderful things for you two...” Cecilia didn’t want to interrupt or to crowd, but the couple were just so sweet, and she was fucking horny. She slipped around behind Maria and pressed her considerable chest into the young woman’s back while running her hands up her sides tenderly.

Being sandwiched between her love, and the blind blonde bombshell, Maria’s nerves were frayed from the near-complete sensory overload. She shuddered, kissing Jayne had been like an electric current running through her body, running from her lips right to virginal pussy. She felt like she going to orgasm just from the kissing, and then when she felt the Keeper’s hand on her... Oh God, it was good.

“Now, Jayne. Play with her breasts and nipples, so I don’t take that first from you two,” Cecilia instructed. She didn’t know why she was suddenly playing the role of coach when she herself was a virgin. But it felt right.

The couple looked at each other, and Jayne smiled, “she right, you know...” her hands slipped from behind Maria’s neck, down her shoulders to her chest, a bit of wonderment in her eyes, she began to gently squeeze and grope Maria’s breasts, her thumbs played with stiff nipples, alternating between circling and stroking them, making sure to slowly rub the surface of her thumb right across the tip.

Maria saw stars, her poor nerves couldn’t handle it anymore. Her body shook in ecstasy, as she came, “oooh th- so- so- good... so good,” she moaned, unable to form a complete sentence.

“Jayne, give me your hand, palm up,” said Cecilia, her own body trembling and an on fire from the experience. Holding onto Maria while she came felt amazing itself. Such an intimate moment, when Jayne proffered her hand, Cecilia took it gently and guided it below to Maria’s center. She helped the young woman explore her lover’s flower, guiding her fingers along the length of her petals, and even helping navigate to the ‘stem’.

Maria shuddered, “oh Jaaaayne... it’s so good... if this is what it feels like now, you’re going to break me with your cock. I'm still so sensitiiiiiiiiveee-” Maria’s voice was cut off as Jayne’s thumb found her clit.

“She has a point... now that you’re more familiar with her body, you should move on to the main event,” Cecilia said as she reached under Maria to grasp Jayne’s cock, helping to line it up, while she and Jayne both helped lower Maria onto the head of Jayne’s cock, until it enters, just barely splitting her lips.

It was Jayne’s turn to shudder, “I’m almost inside you now..,” Cecilia had guided her directly to Maria’s trembling wet entrance. Just a little bit more...

“Jayne...” Maria bit her bottom lip and looked her lover in the eyes, “I know this is basically a dream, but I have never been so scared, and yet so sure of anything in my life,” she gasped she **** herself a little deeper, her pussy was so tight, and Jayne’s invading member so broad.

Can a racing heart melt? Jayne’s insides felt like putty right now. Just a bit deeper... there. Jayne felt it, Maria’s eyes went wide as she did too. This was it, the final obstacle in their trial run. Her eye’s met Maria’s. Was this love? Was this lust? She searched those beautiful ochre eyes.

“Do it...” said Maria. There was a flash of pain. Sudden, but not bad. Some part of her mind likened it to an injection. You knew the pain was coming, it penetrated your skin filling you with this foreign object, and like that the pain subsided. But now that Maria’s pain had subsided, she did still feel something foreign inside her though, and she loved it. She kept trying to lower herself deeper now, it was such a tight fit. But her body needed it. It needed Jayne. She desperately craved more.

Her lover was moaning now wantonly on her cock. Jayne was struggling with the tight passage that kept squeezing her tighter, perhaps not as severe but she felt the desire to be as deep inside this woman as possible, To be connected on the final, most intimate of levels. Inch, by inch.

Maria grunted softly as she finally did it. She felt the rest of Jayne under her, she had encompassed her entire cock, it was inside her. Where it belonged., she felt another pressure inside her, only to see a slight bulge indicating just how deep inside of her Jayne was. She and Cecilia both ran a hand down towards it felt the tip of Jayne’s cock through her skin, she couldn’t help but giggle, then that thought was replaced by the need once again. “Take me, Jayne...”

What followed was the loud wet splashing sound. Jayne quickly realized the water wasn’t helping. With a little aid from Cecilia Jayne was able to keep herself inside Maria and climb back up the step of the hot tub once so she now sat on the edge. Maria had wrapped her arms around Jayne, and soon they resumed their rutting. Maria cried out in pleasure with each thrust and Jayne struggled to keep herself together, to not cum too soon, the tightness and pressure was so good... then things got a little weird. Cecilia!

Cecilia needed to feel this too, she wanted everyone to feel it, so perfect was their union that they felt not only their own pleasure but their lover’s as well. She placed one hand on Jayne and the other hand on Maria. Quickly the blonde seer began moaning in ecstasy as well. She felt every thrust, every inch of Jayne, she saw through Maria’s eyes what it was like riding her lover.

Jayne quickly became aware of the same, she felt herself fucking, herself? She looked down and saw a redhead gasping in surprise. It was her face, she felt not only on her dick pistoning in and out of Maria but what Maria was feeling as well with the massive tool filling her so completely. She realized why Cecilia was moaning lustfully as well. She was feeling what Maria felt... Holy shit, she was fucking two girls at the same time. Sort of. Still counts.

Maria was lost in a sea of pleasure she felt herself growing incredibly close, she didn’t completely understand what was happening this was a sensory overload she could not even wrap her fuck happy head around right now, but she saw her own face gasping in surprise and pleasure as she now experienced Jayne’s senses too. Oh, that's good. Having cock must feel pretty good... oh.. she felt herself... was that Jayne? Both?

“I’m cummmmming,” cried the trio.

With one last thrust, Jayne penetrated Maria’s deepest chamber, flooding her with her seed.

Maria screamed in ecstasy, clamping down on Jayne's cock, instinctually milking her for her cum, it was so thick and so hot. She wanted this. She needed this. Needed Jayne. She wondered if when they did this for real tonight if she would get pregnant, she could imagine being pampered as the mother of Jayne's child, the two in love sitting together, Jayne rubbing her pregnant stomach and saying sweet nothings to her. Okay. Slow down Maria, it's too soon to be thinking about children... but Jayne's cum feels so good inside of her. No, stop that. Her father would kill her, they haven't acknowledged this relationship, but sex before marriage AND getting pregnant? But it was okay, she told herself. Jayne would take care of her... and the hot cum inside of her felt so good. She wondered if they could fuck with just the two of them together, how many times could she get Jayne to cum inside of her? Would her belly swell with all of it?

Cecilia collapsed against the side of the hot tub along with them, panting heavily. So that’s what it feels like to get fucked... what it feels like to be fucked by Jayne. Part of her felt jealous... she wanted to go over snd slurp on Maria’s pussy just to- what was she thinking? Where did that come from? Again she wasn’t sure if this was the influence of being inside Jayne’s mind, or was it her? She’d always been sexually repressed, and now given a chance to let it all out felt good. She imagined herself with great swollen tits, a wet nurse for Maria and Jayne's children, she was happy. Wait. What? Then she remembered that Jayne tasted like berries.

“By the moonlight, Jayne that was amazing... and thank you-” she turned to look at Cecilia in order to thank her for the wonderful, if trippy experience but she was gone. “-Cecilia? Haaaaaaaaaa ohmmy.”

Jayne was startled but quite pleased too by the sudden feeling of the Keeper’s tongue and mouth slurping at the fluids from both her and Maria... ‘Dang, she must be really really excited to have a cock in her life,' she thought.

“Umph, you-” lick, “have,” suck “no” sluuurp, “idea.” Cecilia was overeager for what was dripping from Maria now, teasing her lips happily to coax it. She was ravenous, “m-my MIstresses... please, please may I have this cock?”

Maria and Jayne shared a confused glance before Maria decided to slide off her lover’s cock, ugh. It felt as good sliding out as going in. Her happily wrecked pussy dripped Jayne’s cum everywhere, which Cecilia happy caught a few globs of before Maria managed to sit down next to Jayne.

Cecilia climbed up to lay next to Maria, “please take me like this, mistress... please fill this unworthy pussy,” she leaned up and began kissing Maria’s arm and shoulder. She didn't feel worthy but she wanted to be so maybe they would keep her. 'Wait, what the hell Cecilia?' she thought, her mind recoiled from the things she was saying... and then the image of Jayne and Maria sitting on thrones entered her mind, she was naked on hands and knees, happy, fat and pregnant with one of Jayne's children.

Jayne had no idea what was happening but was operating on pure lust right now, and Maria was not much better as she lay there kissing the Keeper back now. She lined her still rock-hard cock up against Cecilia’s soaking entrance and began to tease her lips, running up and down the length with her fat cock head.

The Keeper writhed in anticipation, she stopped kissing Maria long enough to say, “thank you for sharing this cock with me, mistress” Jayne found her entrance and was pressing in, “I’mmmm so grateful!!” The Keeper squealed cutely.

Once more, if reason had ruled the day, perhaps the couple would’ve realized something else was happening to Keeper Cecilia. Something primal was awakening within her, something buried deep. A need. No, a duty to serve. Bubbling darkness, just below the surface. It hungered, yet strong also was the will to give.

Jayne was trembling slightly now, this was intense... she felt the resistance within Cecilia’s passage and paused, “are you ready, Cecilia?”

“Yes, fuck me, please, no need to be gentle good mistress, I tend to flame... and thus tend to thee,” Cecilia pleaded.

The couple thought this a little odd, but then it could be her acting out a fantasy. The woman was easily 10 years their senior, so maybe she just really knew what she liked... even as a virgin?

Maria had decided to play with the Keeper's chest, easily at least two cup sizes larger than either her's or Jayne's. She kneaded the soft flesh and likely licked and sucked a nipple experimentally. There was something natural about this to her after some time, she couldn't help but wonder how these breasts would look swollen with milk, and what it would taste like in her mouth right now. Did... she just think that? That doesn't sound right but... when she did think about it, it was pretty hot.

Jayne slammed home and buried herself inside Cecilia, she shrieked in agony which quickly melted into pleasure as Jayne found her passage easier to travel, soon she was bottoming out, the redhead’s heavy balls smacking Cecilia on the ass with each thrust so lewdly.

The Keeper had suddenly turned into a babbling mess writhing in pleasure, her legs wrapped around Jayne and helped pull her deeper with every thrust, she could feel the woman’s cock in her womb, right where it belonged, and she came, quirting her fluids all over Jayne. She thought about those heavy balls smacking her ass and how full of life-giving seed they were.

Rather encouraged by this turn of events Jayne kept going, having just cum inside Maria, she had some more staying power now and fully intended to torment this poor woman with pleasure. Not much of a torment really when you think about it. But, she really wasn’t thinking too hard about it.

This went on some time, after several orgasms, Cecilia began to grow calmer, she **** herself up and managed to wrap her arms around Jayne, who for her part did an excellent job keeping balance. “Embered one..please... do it, fill my womb with your seed” her voice was trembling from pleasure or perhaps madness, had taken on a serene quality. 'and give me a child be your heir...' she thought. The idea of her belly full with one or more of Jayne's children pleased her greatly. Perhaps the other Keepers would do the same. They could give her so many children...

Jayne had no idea what just happened, Maria was laying there a little dumbstruck and still enjoying her post-orgasm glow, so she had no advice to offer. So while fucking Cecilia standing up, with all of her limbs wrapped around her, she came hard and deep inside of her, flooding the poor Keeper’s long denied womb. Jayne moaned loudly as she felt her cock milked for all that it was worth, while Cecilia looked as if she’d achieved an absolute state of bliss. Finally beginning to feel her legs complain, Jayne gently laid the Keeper down on the edge of the tub, and then rolled over to lay between Maria and Cecilia. Out of breath, and spent... at least for now.

The afterglow’s silence was broken now by the serene voice of Cecilia. “You have touched the Darkness withing me embered one. To be embered is to be a beacon for souls. Sovereignless souls will become thy strength. I will show thee how. Bring me souls, plucked from their vessels”

Maria and Jayne shared a glance, “Uh... that’s nice... I kinda thought this was a roleplay thing or your fantasy... I’m not sure I want to ‘pluck’ souls from their ‘vessels’.” The quiet storm that had raged around them began to shift in color tone... light seemed to appear in the distance that did not dissipate in an instant like the lightning.

Cecilia rose and went to stand before them... no sign of Jayne’s cum dripping down her leg where it should’ve been. “Embered one. I am blind beyond the eye. But surely you can see the little flames in the distance. They’re not extinguished by the storm. They are part of it.” As she spoke the lights did start to become larger... no closer.

Jayne sat up and stared as she realized columns of fire had appeared in the storm, bearing down on the eye. Her storm. But she was the storm?

“You are embered, thus you are fire. I am a Fire Keeper, and I tend to thee,” said Cecilia calmly. Perhaps a little too calmly as the fire hit the edges of the eye of the storm, leaving them untouched, fortunately.

...

Jayne woke up back on the lounge Cecilia and Maria holding her hand. They woke too. Hardly anytime had passed since they began. Maria and Jayne were both very confused about what just happened. They looked to Cecilia for an answer.

The Keeper choked as if to hold back tears, “I’m, ok. Give me... time to meditate on what we just saw.” she stood and retreated to another room.

The couple wordlessly agreed to give Cecilia some space right now. “I think we need time to meditate on what we just saw,” Jayne said half-jokingly. She sat up scratching an itch on the palm of her hand. Maria and she shared a knowing smile. “The first half... would be worth doing over.” They both blushed... her other hand itched now.

Maria nodded, “well I’m sure Tasya could explain to us the scientific method. The experiment could be recreated, and see if we get the same results,” she teased. She noticed Jayne's hands were really bothering her now.

Before she could ask anything about that a very satisfied Tasya approached them having finished her plate, “hi... so I heard my name and science mentioned over here. I thought someone was talking nerdy without me,” she gave a nervous grin. This was humor, right? This works to start conversations. This was the sort of common over-analyzing that was typical of Tasya.

Jayne **** herself to try and ignore her hands a moment before she scratched them raw, she waved, “hey Tasya, it’s good to see you,” and then her hand burst into flames.
