“Don’t think too much about what Lisa said - it’s just something you figure out by yourself as you get older, okay? I’m sure you’ll meet somebody - or as you're a hero, maybe somebodies - who you can be as open to. I personally think it’s hard to describe it so concretely it’s… Well just don’t get held up on it. We’re all still young here after all.” <Ali>
Ali’s voice suddenly brought a quiet Eel from out her own mind with a jolt, letting her look up at the woman as she flusteredly tried to explain to her that she ‘didn’t need to think about it’, which only got a chuckle and a bright smile from the girl.
“Okay~” <Eel>
<She’s not wrong and if I’m understanding what they said between themselves, they’re keeping some important details away from me anyway so it’s only obvious I don’t understand! Fine though; keep your secrets! I have plenty of time to slooth them out on my own~.>
Her bad habit rearing its head with a smug smile as she let out a little ‘Fufufu~’ laugh while ‘figuring it all out’.
This only caused a large sigh to part from Ali’s mouth only for Eel to let out a question that almost got her to choke on her own sigh.
“How did the baby get in there though?” <Eel>
“Erm- Well you see… When a man and a woman love each other the man may try to put a bab-” <Ali>
“Eh~ but they’re both women right? How did big sis Kee manage a child inside big sis Lisa?” <Eel>
She didn’t know whether to be happy the child had ended up so openly accepting of her and the girls - thus marking huge improvement over their first interaction - or cry over the fact that she, a {Courtesan}, had to explain sexual education to a child. A child that she wanted to let avoid this kind of thing…
But that did beg the question of why? It’s not like Eel was that young and most girls her age in her demographic (if you remove her {Race} and {Class}) would already be in the process of doing a bit more than learning about the theory behind it all in order to be ‘ready’ for customers by 13. Hell, just a few weeks prior they got another girl the same age that was doing just that.
Ali didn’t know how far through the girl was because they didn’t just blunt force everything in this brothel it may take a bit longer but generally with the happier and warmer environment they still get there despite a slower start.
So why avoid it with Eel who was naturally more curious due to her higher wisdom?
“Well, Kee got her younger brother - Ketch - to help out. Though he didn’t seem very happy about the way Kee went about it… Well, whatever, he’s not one of my girls so his happiness in the short term isn’t nearly as important.” <Ali>
Nodding her head, not hiding anything but at the same time not saying anything. She’d probably find out soon enough that the ‘white pee’ was important but for now she’d just let things go as they cam- went.
***
It didn’t take long for them to arrive at the bathing area which wasn’t too big - fitting nicely in the back left corner of the brothel.
The bath was actually in the back and had two entrances - one from the left hall from the bar room and another down from the second floor. She was informed it was because ‘the bedrooms were on the second floor’ and ‘sometimes they have customers upstairs or downstairs’ so Eel could only nod to agree.
<That white pee did look particularly goopy - must be not feel pleasant so makes sure they’d want to wash sharply.>
And so, they found themselves in a decently large locker room with two groups of wooden lockers, double stacked, in a stone frame at the center (back to back) and all around the walls - including a bit in front of the staircase that hugged the right wall. A nice wooden banister joining the stairs. The stairs and banisters seemed to be made of a slightly different, more coarse wood in order to avoid slipping but the whole brothel was made from treated wood to prevent problems.
After all, there would be a lot of liquids flying around in this building. Even Eel was aware of that much.
There were some blank lockers with keys left in them and many would have a name written in a little clay plank that was slided onto the doors. Well at least Eel guessed as much. Can’t read, remember? Really need to fix that soon, actually…
Walking up to a pair of lockers in the front right corner away under the stairs, Ali removed the plank from the top one and let her hands glow for a second as the clay reshaped to form some characters. Reaching down she’d show Eel what was written on it.
“This is your name in full, ‘Elizabeth Jr’, and the one bellow says ‘Emily’. She’ll be your roommate until she’s 13 when she’ll either decide to leave or get her own room - she’s very cute so I’m sure you two cuties will make a great set of mascots for us~.” <Ali>
Eel would jokingly puff up her cheeks and stick out her tongue while removing the cloth from her body only to have it yanked out before she could put it in the locker by the Half-Elf behind her.
“I’ll get you some new clothing, alright? Show yourself around a bit and don’t be afraid to make use of the soap - there are some public use ones since clients who stay overnight often are allowed to take a dip but that also means we can’t buy the strongly scented ones. When you start to earn some money you could buy your own.” <Ali>
“I don-” <Eel>
“I’m not listening~!” <Ali>
Ali would shout over Eel while heading up the stairs in a slight jog.
“You should at least not shout while people are sleeping…” <Eel>
She said while pouting at the older woman escaping. Looking around she would find a basket hidden in the corner by her. Why would a basket be so out of the way? Well, one way to find and curiosity has never hurt anyone!
Walking over to the washing basket she would open up the top and open and step on the bench to look in head first with her left hand gripping the side of the basket and the right moving to keep the top of the basket up.
What she saw was clothes. Specifically female clothes.
Panties, stockings, bra’s, tops and sometimes even full one piece dresses were all available to sift through. Reaching in with her right hand - letting the lid sit on her head - she would grab a bra that was on top and bring them up to her face where she would see them.
It was a familiar little black piece with clear wet patches in the centre of each cup however on top of the outside part it would be caked with that gooey white pee men peed out into and on top of those slum girls for money.
<So those girls must have been {Prostitutes} as well then. The Bunny did seem nice but they didn’t seem happy unlike the women here… Hm~ so the goo actually dries~?>
She thought while studying all around the bra around here and there; letting some of it fall off back into the basket below while also not being particularly worried about getting it on herself - she was going to bathe after this for the first time in her life after all~!
Playing with it a bit she would decide to drop it back into the basket before looking at her hands. Shrugging softly as she brought her small hands up to her face, sniffing a bit like a little animal only to reel back in surprise at the rather strong smell. However, slowly sniffing from a closer and closer distance until her nose was practically touching her fingers.
“Smells strong but once you get used to it, it’s not too bad… I rather like it. Reminds me of the sea~"
"..."
"How do I know what the sea smells like... ” <Eel>
Nodding her head as she would go to shake her palms before another idea popped into her head.
“Those girls on the street were guzzling it so maybe it’s tasty…” <Eel>
And so, after hesitating for a bit the girl stuck her tongue out to touch the white pee…
“Geh-! Super strong! How do they drink it!” <Eel>
And she pulled her face away again and rubbed her palms on the side of the basket, hissing softly with her tongue sticking out, rubbing it against her upper arm matching a cat perfectly. Due to her lack of anything but ‘bread’ in terms of meals she wouldn’t have many words to describe it by. Reaching back in she would grab a pair of white panties that would be very moist around the front but wouldn’t have any of the white on it.
“These are big sister Kee’s right? Look like hers…” <Eel>
And, with that, she brought the wet patch up to her nose and sniffed.
<Ah~ sweet like lily’s~!>
She didn’t know what lily’s smelt like but she assumed something like that. However, that thought was cut there and her brow twitched.

[+{Enhance Senses (Taste+Smell)}] |>
“*Sniffle* I dinn’t mean it…” <Eel>
A saddened Eel said as she dropped the panties back into the basket before heading away into the bath (who’s entrance would have been in front of the entrance on the ground floor if not for the wall of lockers).
The actual area inside was pretty simple, just a stone floor with some benches on the right in front of a wooden shelf that came off the wall with a long mirror across it. On the shelf some towels would be laid. Another basket on the end no doubt to dump the wet towels. At the back of the room there would be a large stone basin cut into the floor with steaming water but there would also be a small but long basin in a similar place to the shelf with water also inside.
<Wah~! Those magic ruins must cost loads of money to have implemented!>

This all easily makes her forget her previous misdeeds - not that you’d find her complaining about it. Quickly jumping right into it; and ‘it’ is, of course, the bath.
*Splash*
Standing in the basin she would rub her body with her palms to get out the grime while soon dunking her head in the water and rubbing that as well. Remembering there was supposed to be soap she looked around for a bit and found like holders in the side of the bath that held exactly that. Rubbing some on her hands she once again rubbed her body and not wet hair before sinking under the water - also known as sitting down - before coming back up a lot less bloody than before.
***
As Eel made her way over to the towels the familiar of Ali would make her entrance once again. She held something in her hand - a stick with spines coming out of one end - looking up at her Eel would tilt her head.
“This is a hair brush - just sit on the bench and I’ll brush your hair for you but I warn you that I may hurt a tad since it’s your first time...” <Ali>
“I’ll be fine, I’m big and strong.” <Eel>
Puffing out her chest and sitting would with a smug smile, hands on her hips, as she waited for Ali to get to work.
…
Throughout the building the screams of a {Hero} would echo out as her first time was taken with no remorse.
***
“I did tell you it may hurt~.” <Ali>
“...” <Eel>
“Oh, don’t pout like that, you're much cuter when you smile. Hey, look at yourself in the mirror and you’ll agree!”
The pair would be sitting in the changing room once more with a pouty Eel having brushed her hair and changed after having her dry off. Her attention was brought to a full length mirror that would be on the left side of the changing room between some lockers.
Seemed like some people would consider that the best place to have a locker but she preferred her corner.
Standing up she would walk up to the mirror and what greeted her was a malnourished but clearly cute girl with large grey eyes with a golden sheen and vibrant violet hair that fell down to her neck in a fairly wavy fashion.
She wore a jade one piece dress with white frills around the collar, short sleeves and skirt. Eel moved her little hands up in a fighting stance as she flashed her fangs only for that girl to do the same thing!
“Who’s this?! If it’s a fight you want I’m tough” <Eel>
This shocked Eel as she suddenly got scared and looked back at this stranger who suddenly appeared! She was sure they were alone in this room! Ali; who stood behind the girl; with a warm smile just shook her head.
“No, we’ll have to buy some food to fatten you up first but that’s your reflection dear.” <Ali>
Ali couldn’t help but chuckle - the girl was too short to see herself in the mirror and was too distracted to get a better look at it after Ali had arrived. In other words Eel had never seen a mirror herself thus this was her first time seeing herself.
And, with the mention of food, a little growl also joined causing the reflection in the mirror to go red from her neck up
“Hm… That’s troubling I don’t think I can make anything - there is the porridge we were given from the lord’s mansion as an apology for the loss of Eliz-” <Ali>
“I want that then!” <Eel>
All embarrassment going away at the mention of possibly eating something that technically belonged to her mother if you leaped through some hoops.
“Eh, but that stuff is an alchemist compound mostly to promote growth and has some side effects li-” <Ali>
“Want it!” <Eel>
She said, turning around to the woman with puffed out cheeks and stomping her left foot on the floor. Arms crossing in front of her chest. You could practically see Ali melt at this display as her hesitation was overcome by the cute display…
Maybe she wasn’t cut out to be a guardian?
Sighing she would shake her lowered head followed by a defeated voice.
“Fine… We needed to do something with it and I guess if anyone needed the compensation it would be you - it was likely intended for you in the first place when they sent it.” <Ali>
At this Eel puffed out her chest proudly and walked towards the door as Ali just followed behind as they headed towards the kitchen.
***
As seen previously; to get the kitchen one would first need to head through the ‘tavern’ area around the front. And so, that’s what the pair went to do…
However, upon arriving they would see a rather ‘interesting’ sight.
A {Black-Wolf} on all fours upon a table with her face practically shoved against the table with hazed eyes and drool leaking out the side of her open mouth - accompanied by an escaped tongue - and a pair of white panties shoved in (her own no doubt).
Her deep voice more high-pitched than one Eel remembered as her squeals could be heard even through the fabric.
Behind her the pregnant elf would still be sat down but would have her face vanish - planted firmly between the wolf’s exposed cheeks with a hand sinking into one each to firmly grasp. And, despite the sound suggesting otherwise, she was doing more than giving the girl sloppy kisses… Well, that was certainly a part of it but with how her head was bobbing and twisting it was hard to say these were regular kisses.
Eel would be staring with great interest only to have a large hand come from behind to cover her eyes and drag her by the collar towards the kitchen.
“Eh~! No fair, I want to lea- watch!” <Eel>
“No! Don’t be a pervert Elizabeth Jr, only perverted girls watch people without permission!” <Ali>
And to that stern telling off, even going as far to use her full name, all she could do was silently stew in her shame.
<I’m sorry you're too late…>
***
Arriving in the kitchen, Ali would put in her utmost effort as a level 1 in {Cooking}... Which was to say she boiled some water then poured it into a pinkish powder. Stirring to make sure it wasn’t too inconsistent (though being porridge it wouldn’t exactly be unexpected) before placing it down in front of the girl.
It wasn’t too much, just a small bowl with a small tea spoon in it, she was expecting the girl to give it a taste and decide she was done with it. As such she decided she may as well get some cleaning done beforehand.
“Now don’t eat too fast or force yourself, I know you’ve likely been st-” <Ali>
“More please~.” <Eel>
“Eh…” <Ali>
In the span it took Ali to turn around a wash and dry a plate that had been sitting in the sink overnight. The girl had already devoured the entire bowl. Sure, it may not be a big bowl but (even if taller than most) she was still a kid so that bowl shouldn't have been big enough.
Not to mention, although the porridge was meant to taste somewhat like summer fruits it was also supposed to be very salty making it hard to eat let alone in an instant.
“Erm- I don’t think it’s a good idea to-” <Ali>
“I can’t have anymore?” <Eel>
A pouty face with teary eyes… Ali felt this was simply unfair but she had to put her foot down this time because it really did concern Eel’s health.
“It’s not that you can’t have any in the future - in fact consider all of it yours. It’s just that you haven’t eaten a lot for most of your life so your tummy is probably a bit ill - to fix this we’ll slowly feed you more and more each meal till you can eat as much as a normal girl your age. Okay?” <Ali>
She would obviously be saddened by the words she heard but she would put the spoon down in the bowl with a pout.
“Good, now pull up a stool. You’ll likely end up cleaning a lot so how about I leave this to you?”
|< Congratulations {Job} {Brothel Worker} Acquired Through Actions >|
And so, they passed the morning having Eel learn the ins and outs of the kitchen with a backdrop of Kee’s muffled but still loud moans.
