Damn you peer pressure

"Sure." You said as you all finished off your breakfast and left the dining hall. On the way to the dorms front doors Auria ran towards the back half of the building, probably going to get Lucia. You looked up the stairs to see if Clare with Edin but no such luck. Outside the dorms Oriana looks around to find her missing sister then lets out a sigh and impatiently drums her fingers against her arm. When Auria shows up with Lucia you and Lucia stare at each other for a moment before you talk.

"How are you?" You ask, it still feels weird between the two of you.

"I had a good wake up." Lucia says with a smirk at Auria. "Oh." She reaches up and rubs at Auria's top lip then licks her finger clean. "Missed a bit."

Oriana lets out a sigh but her acceptance of her sister relations, while not total has improved.

"Where is your carriage?" Eve ask looking around.

"We don't have, it's not that far to walk." Auria says, happily wrapping an arm around Lucia's waist as they take the lead.

Delilah blinked twice before they smirked. "I'm just used to it." Eve said defensively as the smirk grew.

"My carriage is on it's way." Asune said. Almost as soon as she finished speaking said carriage broke the crest of the hill and appeared in their view.

"See." Eve said triumphantly. "I like walking." Delilah said giving you moon eyes. "And how many times did those walks pay off?" There was a slight pause. "Christopher you owe us sex." They said in unison.

"How did I..." You trail off as all those now very obvious 'walks' that Delilah had taken you on came to mind. "Yeah fair enough."

"Oh can we -" Auria sated with a great deal of excitement.

"My mother said I'm not allow to have sex in the carriages anymore." Asune said as the carriage arrived and the door opened for you all. You are honestly surprised. Not at the no sex rule but at Asune obeying it. "Christopher will sit next to me." Maybe not obeying it.

Piling into the carriage left it as a bit of a tight squeeze. When Lucia sat down you saw the situation click on her face. When she'd arrived she was still in post nut bliss, but now she was sitting in a carriage with Asune. She froze up staring at the daughter of a Duchess. Delilah looked at the two then opened leaned around Lucia to open the window. You doubted the breeze would help Lucia recover but it was worth a shot.

When you arrived at the church Lucia jumped out before the door had even been opened. She literally jumped out of the window. It was a very good thing Delilah had opened it for her. You looked at them and they winked at you. "Is that energetic when you have sex?" Asune asked Auria who got a dopey grin on her face.

"Yeah, she's great." Auria said climbing out of the carriage and giving Lucia's ass a squeeze.

Asune looked at the couple and you saw gears turning in her head. "I think you should stick to trying to seduce Vatarie before going after anyone else." You whisper into her ear before climbing out. You've no idea if that would work but are also pretty confident Asune wouldn't mesh well with Lucia or Auria, or both of them.

"This is a church?" Eve asked as they stepped out and looked at the house they were standing in front of. "What's a church supposed to look like?" Delilah asked. "Oh, are you sure?"

"Christopher," Oriana took your hand and walked you towards the door, "Farrah will want to talk with you after the service." She opened the door and led you inside.

"Greetings Daughter," Farrah said from the altar when she saw you. "G-greetings Stud." She said bowing a little to you then righting herself. "Please come with me." She walked through the back door into her kitchen before you had had the chance to walk further than the doorway. Oriana walked with you to the door and stayed by your side when through it. "I've gotten a - Oriana." Farrah said picking up a piece of paper and turning back to you. She looked from you to Oriana for a moment.

"The letter?" Oriana asked, acting oblivious to the surprise.

Farrah looked at you. You didn't have much of an opinion on this. Well you did but Oriana had a talent of turning anything you say into supporting her so staying quiet seems safer. "Yes the letter." Farrah handed it to you and you read it.

'Mother Farrah,

The Mother of All's presence has been long absent in the kingdom of Natira, it has warmed all of our hearts to know that you have her support in bringing them her light. The man of which you speak is unusual. There have been Father's involved in the church but leading a service is unheard of. We have dispatched a Matron to observe your services and report on your sects, activities.

If the Matron find this man is, in deed, in communion with the Mother of All you will have our full support to expand your conversion efforts in the kingdom.

Grandmother Stil.'

You look at Farrah. Well at least they are giving you warning of the motherly inquisition. "So when do they get here?" You ask hoping for a response in line of a few months.

"I don't know. Matrons don't announce themselves, they just arrive." Farrah said.

"Well then at least we'll know when they get here." You joke. Neither of the two laugh, "Sorry I didn't mean, it's just you'll probably notice is someone new shows up right." You laughed awkwardly, you weren't trying to offend them you really weren't.

"Actually." Farrah said slowly. That is when you finally noticed the noise. It had been growing very slowly from the other side of the door but you'd just assumed it had been Lucia and Auria getting more handsy without a sister to clam jam them. You walked back to the door and opened it a crack to check the pews.

You slowly closed it again and turn back to them. "Oh. Guess my joke didn't work then." You laugh even more awkwardly. From your brief check there wasn't a seat free. In fact there had been a few people standing at the back of the room. "So what is the worst case if the Matron is unimpressed." Visions of burning stakes appear in your mind, though for the first time you are a lot less intimidated by the idea, you have a Goddess and a former Empress at your side, not to mention Hanun of people you love. The motherly inquisitor between what out for you it it happens.

"They will send another Priestess to take over my position for three years while I act as their acolyte before the church is returned to my care." Farrah sounded horrified by that and, you didn't want to think you were disappointed, but in your last life religion knew how to horrifically overreact to everything that ever happened... That was a weird thing to be disappointed about. "I have your robes ready for you." Farrah said picking up something from the table and holding it out for you.

"Robes?" You asked looking at the male equivalent to Farrah's sheer dress with gold thread. The main difference being that the thread was extenuating something other than your boobs.

"For when you perform the ritual to summon the Mother." Oriana said.

Oh right that ... Why didn't you wait for Clare?
