Afternoon

Faranne and Finn returned to the village, where everyone was waiting for them, worried that something bad happened to them in the woods. The sun was setting, which meant that they had spent a long time outside, but now that they finally returned, they were met by warm hugs from their friends. Finn got the most out of it, as everyone was mainly worried about him. Lilith came running to him, and jumped at his arms, to give him a big hug, while Zoey noticed that they had returned. She quickly ran to Finn to pull him into a long, caring hug, filled with affection, and relief from Zoey, as she was very worried about her crush.

"Don't scare me like that..." - Zoey whispered, with a sad tone, as they hugged. Finn just chuckled, and held her closer, before pulling away to see each other. That's when Zoey noticed that Finn wasn't looking too good, his entire body was covered in bruises, and he was clearly bleeding from a few wounds, so she gasped, and quickly grabbed his hand, to take him to the park, where she would treat his wounds.

At first, Zoey didn't say a word, as she was too focused on treating Finn's wounds, who enjoyed seeing how gently she was treating him. Her soft hands felt good, as she tried to heal the multiple cuts he had on his back, which hurt for a bit when she had to apply ****, but apart from that, he enjoyed every single second of her hands touching, and feeling every part of his torso. Zoey didn't think too much of it, but she did like touching Finn's toned muscles.

Finn got distracted with the sight of Itzel running around with his new crabby friend, since apparently he was trying to find a home for it, and even named it Sandy, as it is a female crab. She had to rest on the beach for now though, because Itzel couldn't get her a proper home yet. After that little distraction, Finn felt how Zoey slowed down with her movements, as it seemed like she had treated most of his wounds.

"Alright, it looks a little better... I just have one question, why did you run after that goblin when I told you that we needed to retreat?" - Zoey asked him from behind, as she just finished stitching the last cuts on his back. Finn thought for a second about his response, as he knew Zoey was a little mad at him, and he needed to explain himself.

"I felt like it was the right thing to do... it doesn't matter, it was dumb and I know it..." - Finn replied ashamed of himself, he clearly didn't want to talk about the topic, and Zoey noticed this from the tone of his voice, so she wasn't going to ask more questions. Instead, she started giving him a shoulder massage, with her soft hands, to help him relax, and tried to talk like normal.

"Is okay, I get why you did it, we don't need to talk about it... I just don't want to see you all beat up like this again... they messed up your handsome body, they will pay for this!!" - Zoey said playfully, but this didn't seem to change Finn's sad mood.

"They are just going to keep coming and coming... we will have to fight them again and again and the worst thing is that we will never stop them" - Finn said with remorse, as he thought it was his fault for not defeating the goblins. Zoey frowned, as she didn't like to see him like this, and she became more affectionate with her massage, putting more love in every shoulder squeeze, trying to release all of the stress from him, while also brushing her hands around his neck, basically caressing it nicely with a soft touch, that Finn absolutely loved.

"I wish they could go away forever but sadly that's how things are..." - Zoey said softly, before letting out a sigh of exhaustion. She tried comforting Finn, but as she was very tired of fighting the goblins, she couldn't think much of her response, and ended up coming off a little pessimistic. She also only wanted to spend intimate time with him, so that's why she was a little frustrated when they got their lunch interrupted by the ugly goblins.

"Well, I don't mind fighting them every now and then... as long as I have you at my side to fight them..." - Finn said flirtatiously, as he stared at Zoey with a smirk, now that the soft touch of her made him feel better, she blushed, and giggled nervously, before flirting back.

"You know I will always be at your side..." - Zoey said softly, as she leaned forward to hug Finn from behind, who responded by grabbing her hand, and holding it. In that moment, they looked like the ideal couple, with Zoey resting her head on his shoulder, while he turned his head slightly to smile at her. Their faces were very close, so it looked like they were going to kiss. They got even closer, as both of them felt the love surrounding them. Zoey had a lot of passion in her heart, so in that moment, she felt a wide range of emotions, from the simple feeling of wanting to kiss Finn, to a deep sexual desire for him and his body. She felt very aroused, and right before she could lean in for the kiss, Finn had to ruin it by asking a question.

"So you said you wanted to talk to me later today... what is it?" - Finn whispered seductively, with the best intentions of encouraging Zoey to kiss him. He was really trying to make a move, but in his attempt, he reminded Zoey that her plans with him were ruined by the goblin attack, and that's when she looked down, disappointed. Finn noticed this, and moved a little to take a good look at her, now they weren't in a cute romantic couple position, as there was something clearly wrong.

"What's wrong?" - Finn asked, worried that something bad happened. Zoey looked back at him, and she didn't look sad or anything, but she also didn't look happy.

"Nothing, is just that I had planned to talk to you in a special place and do something tonight but I don't think we'll be able to do that... I think it is too risky to go out of the village today and I'm also very tired from that fight so I think our little plan will have to wait a day or two, is that okay?" - Zoey replied, clearly disappointed that her plan couldn't come to fruition today, but Finn seemed to take it lightly, so he wasn't too affected by it.

"Is fine, totally... I mean yes, it is risky to go out tonight so I'm totally okay with rescheduling our plans for another day... even though I still don't know what we are going to do..." - Finn replied playfully, which caused Zoey to laugh excitedly, she was now smiling a lot and Finn was confused by it.

"Alright, good to hear that... then I guess we can do it another day... oh and also, you will see what I have prepared for you... I don't want to spoil the surprise..." - Zoey said cheerfully, before lowering her tone to a seductive one, to tease Finn, which worked perfectly, as it turned him on quite a lot. He was more excited than ever to see what Zoey was planning with him, the way she talked, and looked at him, gave him a hint that maybe they were going to do something intimate, but the way she was biting her lower lip after saying that, led him to believe that they were going to do something naughty...

"Okay, bye... see you later, take care!!" - Zoey said awkwardly, as she lost herself in another sexual fantasy she had with Finn. Right when they were talking, she began thinking about all the things she wanted to do with him, and since she started to feel a wet spot on her panties, she unwrapped her arms around him, said goodbye to Finn, and giggled like crazy, as she walked back to her house, where she was going to try to relieve herself, while thinking about Finn of course.

Finn was left wondering what was the deal with Zoey, but he couldn't think too much, because he noticed Faranne walking up to him. She looked very happy, and eager to talk to him, so he made space for her to seat with him, and start talking

"Hey, how are you feeling?" - Faranne asked nicely, but with a tired expression. Finn always got nervous when he talked with her, because her smile, that he considered extremely beautiful, distracted him. But now he was embarrassed by what he did before, so he stammered a little before he replied.

"I'm fine, Zoey really took care of all my injuries, she is very good at it" - Finn replied cheerfully.

"Yes, of course she is going to treat your injuries with love as always, because she cares about you as much as I do... that's why I have to talk to you about not putting yourself at risk like earlier..." - Faranne said, with a calm tone, which suggested that she wasn't mad at him, but Finn knew he was about to get a lesson from her, about knowing what battles to fight or whatnot.

"First of all, I'm very sorry that your birthday didn't turn out like you expected it to be... you never know when these things can happen but I'm just happy that we are all alive and safe..." - Faranne said, with a sweet smile, that also made Finn smile, before continuing talking.

"But I do think what you did was extremely dangerous and stupid... I don't think you realize how risky chasing that goblin was... clearly you don't and that's why I think I should maybe teach you a little more" - Faranne said patronizingly, she wanted the best for Finn, but he never got to fully appreciate her for that. He felt so bad, that he considered the idea of changing that, and start to listen to her, or maybe try to follow her advice and lessons in a better way.

"Okay, I'm sorry... I'll try to do better next time" - Finn said nervously, before he looked away, to hide from the shame. But Faranne caressed his head softly, to make him feel better, and started talking with her sweet voice, that always made Finn smile.

"Is okay, I know you will... you are going to become the best warrior of all time and I'm going to make sure of it... you know I hate being harsh on you and teaching you lessons but unfortunately I will have to be like that from now on..." - Faranne said, with a soothing tone, that at first calmed down Finn, but then worried him, as he knew he was going to have to listen to Faranne ramble about life lessons, and other stuff, that was useful, but a little boring. Although he didn't expect to see her smile, trying to contain her laughter, right before bursting out laughing, he was very confused by it, until she explained herself.

"You really thought I would be harsh on you?? I hate that, you know that I do... and I love you, really love you, you know that I do... and I also know that you hate my lessons, they are quite boring and I understand... that's why I'm trying new ways of teaching you lessons, they are more... interesting, fun, if you will... is nothing bad and I'm just experimenting here but now that you have become an adult you will be able to tolerate my new ways of teaching... they could be a little more intense but we will see..." - Faranne said playfully, still making Finn confused, as he wasn't sure what she meant, but he just nodded to agree to whatever she was talking about, and she smiled, to then continue talking.

"Great... well, I did prepare something special for you tonight, like a gift... so I will try to merge that with your new lesson, hopefully it all goes right... Now, follow me... I promise you it’s going to be a lot of fun, you will love it!... and I'm sure you will learn a lot of stuff too!!" - Faranne said, with a friendly, and excited tone, that turned into a somewhat flirty one, that caught Finn off guard.

He didn't fully know what she meant by all of this, he wasn't sure about how she was going to give him both a lesson, and a gift at the same time. But since Finn was excited for it, and as Faranne stood up, and started walking away, he followed her to see how his birthday was going to finish off with Faranne's gift, who was walking strangely. She was almost bouncing with excitement, which made him smile ,before he noticed that she was leading him to her house, and made him wonder what special gift was waiting for him there.
