Chapter 889 888: Rest Day (1)
"Yeah, it is nice isn\'t it... Besides, I think we all came to the conclusion that we would need this break anyways. It\'s been a few days of non stop fighting and traveling, harvesting and mining... we all need a small break, don\'t we?"
Leone took a seat beside me on the pelts we had been tasked with cleaning, the furry softness of each monster we had killed providing excellent bedding as we just lounged around for a few moments, causing me to glance over at the now pale skinned, back to normal Leone.
"Hey..."
She looked towards me, her brow raised as she wondered what I wanted from her, only to smile wryly as I said "You need to practice getting into that True Vampire Form of yours, Leone. You need to get quicker with that transition so that it can expedite the fights we are in, at least the ones that require something as strong as that."
"I know, I know, it\'s just... difficult. Tiring. The strain it places on me when I return to my usual self is already rather monumental, and trying to streamline that process is something that will take some time... I don\'t really know how to explain it. It\'s... I guess its like having a second version of yourself locked away, waiting to come out? Trying to unlock them from their cage, guide them up into your mind, but making sure you don\'t accidentally slip up and lose control? All of it is taxing, so trying to get quicker at that is... difficult. Just... difficult."
Rolling onto my side, I stared at the Vampire for a few quiet moments before asking "What if you had something to help focus your mind better? Would that help? Something that puts you at ease, something that ensures you are able to remain yourself?"
"Like what? There is magic like that, sure, but it would need to be incredibly potent to help me with that version of myself, and traditional, more \'primitive\' ideas of focusing the mind won\'t really work, so..."
I nodded, only to smirk as I asked "Then what about blood? Would Jahi\'s blood, Anput\'s blood, my blood help you at all? Something to give you some strength, something to focus on..."
Seeing her blush slightly at that, I chuckled as I continued to stare at the Vampire, drinking in the way red suited her on two separate levels; her adorable, ever sexy blush when she was shy and embarrassed, or that mature, confident red skin from her True Vampire Form...
Even though that side of her was something that was so sexy on so many different levels, it still couldn\'t compare to the refreshing, ever present shy and adorable Princess that I had fallen in love with, and I was certain that the others would agree with me on that.
"Your... blood..? I... I guess..? But how would I get it in the middle of a fight?! Or Jahi\'s, or Anput\'s?! That would endanger you all if you lost even a drop during a fight, wouldn\'t it?!"
Hearing her worry and anxiety at a situation that hadn\'t even happened yet, I chuckled again and reached for her hand, grabbing it and guiding it towards my heart - which was, obviously, beneath the two large mountains that all three of my lovers were always fixated on - as I said "Yes, but what if you could carry around our blood in vials or something? We could give it to you before a battle, that way we could regenerate whatever was lost and you could still have it inside the battle?"
Letting her feel my heartbeat and enjoy the softness beneath her fingers, I smiled coyly at Leone and took in her darkening cheeks, before she coughed and looked away, still leaving her hand with mine as she said "I-I... I guess.. that would work, yes... But how would we be able to maintain its... \'freshness\'? Ensure that it was still potent enough?"
"That would be a mixture of my Ice Mana and your Blood Mana, would it not? Something to maintain its purity and keep it cool enough to not evaporate or coagulate. If it\'s a sealed vial that\'s acting as its own environment, would that work?"
Her blush slowly receded as she was presented with a theoretical and magical question, the Vampire\'s analytical mind latching onto this problem and beginning to work away at it, though her blush returned with a vengeance when Jahi came over and said "Hey, you were supposed to be treating those pelts, not using them as beds! And Leone, I know Kat\'s breasts are amazing, but you ARE in public, y\'know?"
That made Leone yank her hand away and go completely crimson, something that made Jahi chuckle as she looked over us both, watching as Leone stood up and tried to move away while I continued to lounge on the pelts, enjoying their softness for a few moments more.
"C\'mon Kat, get! Anput needs these now for the leather!"
Reaching down, Jahi grabbed my wrist and pulled me up, ignoring the lazy glare I gave her as she got me off of the pelts, though considering her other hand went low and copped a feel, I forgave her swiftly, especially when she whispered "Let\'s take a break from this work, hm? I need you badly, my love..."
Giving her a nod, I smirked as Jahi did the same to Leone, making the Princess blush as she was pulled into Jahi\'s side, the two of us cushioning her muscular body between our softer ones, which only made the Demoness all the more arrogant as she paraded us back to our tent.
