The place Eel ran to, per usual, was the garden around back… Well, forest.
Compared to three years ago the vast amount of differing foliage - bright flowers, sturdy trees, vibrant herbs - all of this gathered and grown by the spirit group’s years of efforts. Group because it wasn’t just Leaf and even though most work gathering was thanks to Eel’s party.
As soon as Eel walked out; into the open space left for (actual) exercise; a flurry of bright dots of various sizes and colours burst out from the surrounding plants to jump around her. Rubbing themselves against her letting her feel the soft warmth unique to an incorporeal body.
Warm and comforting like being in a warm bath.
Eel just chuckled as she would pat a few of the ones that she could, not moving too quickly as she didn’t want to blow them away aggressively. The colours of the sparkles would mostly be green and brown but there would be some blue as well as rarely some black and gold… Though black seemed more common than one would assume.
These could also be split into three groups: the smallest is called a sprite and is just a cute little ball of emotion, tiny little guys smaller than one's palm, and the lowest level of spirits. Then there is the lesser spirit which is a spirit which has formed its own intellect, being larger due to the larger store of power within them but similarly they cannot form a physical form which traps both them and sprites to a cradle… Though Leaf told Eel that it was most likely Munzumira who did this to force them not to wander off and get into trouble which does show her softer side.
And then, lastly, the type {Elizabeth’s Paradise Cradle} had the unfortunately most of…
Suddenly through the balls of light two little green hands would explode out to grip the larger balls of fat that were on Eel’s torso.
|Redeeming femmine quality found...| <Leaf>
This was met with a twitching brow and ‘aggressive’ smile as the other spirit’s all made way, already used to Leaf’s jealous taunts and Eel’s violent outbursts.
Her hand shoots out to grab onto Leaf’s head and lift her up off the ground - Leaf not struggling much causing her legs and hand to just sway in the wind like a doll. With her lack of facial movement other than occasional blinking this would be a very apt description.
“And what is that meant to mean brat~” <Eel>
|Make a perfect prince charming if it wasn’t for that venomous tongue...| <Leaf>
“I want to hear that from you the least!” <Eel>
To this Leaf just tilted her head to the side while looking directly into Eel’s eyes. She looked so innocent one may actually be tricked and think she had no idea what Eel was talking about. To this Eel was 4 seconds away from seeing how aerodynamic the little snake was only to be stopped.
“She’ll only continue doin’ it ya know? Pree sure she’ll count it as ‘er win as long as you react so you should just hug ‘er an’ rub your tits all over ‘er~!” <Fuka>
Fuka said while walking out the back with her hands behind her head - standard kite shield on her arm and longsword on her hip - she looked basically the same due to the help of some (usually difficult to obtain) eternal youth potions.
Those bad boys require the morning dew off a leaf of a world tree, blood of a high-elf and scale of a dragon among plenty of hard to grow plants. To obtain such mighty treasures one would usually need to go through much peril… Unless you had a world tree out back and a high-dragon at the brothel training to join the staff.
Speaking of the world tree… It seemed to be growing unusually well considering it usually took a long time for any tree to grow.
<Not to mention it seems to have some insanely high-level magic around it that I can’t even recognise the element of… Surely this must be what aids in the growth… Perhaps there are more moves below the table than I first thought..>
While thinking all this she also didn’t forget to follow advice and pull an unwilling Leaf’s face into her embrace. Hugging around her upper body fully prevented escape for the spirit queen - her loyal subjects just watching on causing the surroundings themselves to feel warm bringing on happy feelings in even the most dull hearted.
“So wach-we gonna be doin’ today?” <Fuka>
Fuka would already be dressed up as a white knight with the helmet being the only thing she was currently lacking - otherwise she was fully kitted up and even had a belt with various bottles, pouches and a knife for dismantling (as well as her sword).
It was quite clear she was prepared to go out and do her job as an adventurer for once…
Though this wasn’t rare these days as she often headed out with Elizabeth and Emily to take quests though occasionally she got ‘distracted’ leading them to spend some extra time but at least she always got paid for overtime.
“Dunno, didn’t get a chance to check with your girlfriends fleshlight since she’s always so bashful on the mornings~.” <Eel>
Fuka would just chuckle softly while massaging her own chin.
“Well, we probs can’t take on ya target yet but we probs can begin to head more towards the south-east but if we do I wanna bring big Lyd’s... “ <Fuka>
“Do we need the additional support?” <Eel>
“Nah, I jus’ don’t wanna be frustrated since we’ll be spendin’ time away from the brothel~!” <Fuka>
Chuckling merrily, not even embarrassed to share her reasoning for bringing another member along.
“If that’s the case we could always rent some hors-” <Eel>
“That’s not a half bad idea…” <Fuka>
Fuka seemed to know be in deep thought as she looked towards the ground with a surprisingly serious look on her face, some drool could be seen dripping within a few seconds causing Eel’s brow to furrow and smile to become conflicted.
<She actually took that seriously… I guess she does have goblin blood - would certainly explain a lot..>
Then something seemed to suddenly explode in her head as she looked towards Fuka in shock, remembering a talk she had a while ago about Gobberz and thus the children born from goblin seed.
“Wait, half goblins grow twice as fast right…” <Eel>
The previously distracted Fuka would jump in shock, looking towards Eel, tilting her head in confusion at the stunned Elizabeth Jr.
“Yea, that’s how it is?” <Fuka>
