"Moreish? As in like Irish?" Ashlie replied to his statement on the cocktails with a curious glance. Smiling some she would have had her hands before her lap some. Wiggling an ear to catch every single word he spoke. Truly she enjoyed the sound of his deep voice. It made her shiver with delight for whatever reason or get goosebumps beneath her fur. Not making it stand on end but just for herself to notice that she was enthralled.

"I know its an odd combo, for sure, but I started dancing right after high school because lack of money... it's sad that I make more doing that than being a teacher." she muttered a little bit too loud at the end. "Anyway, thank you for the compliment. I'm a fennec fox and doe mix, not sure if you could tell most people think I am odd."

"You work with your hands a lot that's never a bad thing, but I kinda figured you'd work with land or be a farmer of sorts. Just because your stature lends itself quite nicely to either!" Her eyes searched his own a moment as she moved inside the restaurant behind him. Enjoying the casual nature of their conversation for the most part. She knew that she was too open, lowering her ears, "I am not trying to rush into anything, my apologies for my forwardness I think... I just tend to be more of the open book type of woman."

"Do not be sorry either... my parents led good lives..." she replied softly. "Also, I'd very much love to go to the bar with you for the drinks." Sitting in the chair that he had pulled out for her. Made her smile a little bit because she hadn't expected a gentlemanly approach to everything but he was very respectful that she could tell. Upon sitting she would have taken the menu glancing over it curiously. "By any chance, is there something on here that you'd recommend? I've never eaten Korean food to be honest..." She blushed a little bit at her statement but her white furred cheeks looked adorable with the color.

[Assistant]
"Irish? Oh, no. I meant as in if I have one then I am always tempted to have another." Othiaso said with a smile, his expressive lips twitching with obvious amusement. "If you haven't had one before you can try one and see what you think." He nodded thoughtfully at her explanation about her life choices. It wasn't his place to judge her after all. If it made her happy that was all that mattered.

"Well I'm sure you are a diligent and inspiring teacher and an enthralling, invigorating dancer. There's a definite elegance to the way that you move,so I'm not surprised that you're a dancer." He observed. He wasn't trying to flatter her. That was not his way. He smiled and nodded again as she explained about her mixed bred heritage.

"I got the Fennec bit, but I wasn't sure about the hooves part." He said with a wave of his big hand... "I'm afraid I'm rather dull in comparison. Both my parents were Percherons, so I'm 100% Percherons too. It has its advantages and disadvantages. Getting pants and shirts can be interesting, but there isn't much I can't lift and people don't loose me in crowds." He said with a teasing smile.

"Um. Well... I've only tried the veg dishes obviously. Meat isn't realy very good for me and my digestion. So I can't directly recommend any of those, but I'm reliably told that the beef with the noodles is excellent as is the penang curry. That's probably what I'm going to get, but the vegetable option. It's got a lot of spices in it, but it's not spicy if that makes sense. There's coconut milk in it, so it's quite smooth. The red and green curries will be a bit spicier if that's more your style." He suggested.

"I'll just ask for some iced water for the table, but we could share some fritters and dumplings as starters if you like?" He asked, glancing at her across the table.

[User]
The female fennec and doe mix sat opposite him with bright eyes that would have spoken at the fact she was rather intent about his words. Her eyes shimmering as she listened, "Oooh more and ish... I got ya... sorry I am a little slow." Ashlie giggled softly now as she fiddled with the menu just moving between sides trying to figure out just what was good or something that sounded good. The curry he suggested sounded amazing. Yet, knowing he was a horse she wondered if he would eat any kind of meat or not.

Confirmed. He didn't. That actually made her feel a little bit better, "I didn't know I had an elegance to my movements." She smiled some and blushed lightly, "Thanks for noticing. I think one of the things that's interesting is that I've never seen your breed before and I love the hair that you have around your hooves. I'm a little jealous."

At hearing the fact he could lift anything made her eyes drift to his arms some and her breath lightly seemed to catch in her throat because she could absolutely believe that if anyone could pick her up it would be him. "I'd say yes to both statements because you sure do look built enough to pick anything up but you are fabulously tall. I appreciate that for sure."

Her tail wagged behind her brushing the seat idly and it made her blush because that was a sign of excitement for her. "I love coconut milk more than anything else in the whole world. I especially love it in mixed drinks or even in flavored teas. Its amazing. So, I'm going to jump all over that curry and yes I would say fritters and dumplings to start." Bouncing in her spot only caused her decently large chest to move some within the confines of her skin tight dress. "So, what is one particular embarrassing thing that you've ever done?"

[Assistant]
Othiaso was pretty sure that Ashlie was oblivious to the fact that when she bounced like that her generous bosom bounced in such a hypnotic way. He deferred from answering her question for a moment so he could catch the eye of the waiter and place their order, which would then free him to give her his undivided attention. He poured some water into the two glasses from the icy jug that the waiter brought and considered her question. It was rather intimate, almost provocatively so and he wasn't sure whether to answer it or not. After a little thought he decided to go for a fairly obvious, almost clichéd reply.

"Well... As you can see I'm quite a big fellow and... a certain part of me in in proportion to my stature... A young lady and I wanted to umm... get to know each other intimately, but when the time came, we found that... Well... We couldn't... She wasn't able to handle it." He said quietly and sipped the cold water.

It was true, all of it. It was an old wives tale for sure about stallions being powerful well endowed lovers, but in his case through the accident of his sheer size it happened to be true. There were other things he could have said, but for now he felt like playing it safe even if it was obvious. "Your turn." He said, flicking her question back at her. If she was going to ask intimate questions he felt it was only fair for her to answer them too.

[User]
Ashlie would have smiled at the pouring of the drink. Taking a deep drink of it. Placing it back down on the coaster and then leaning forward some. She was looking intently at him because she wanted to know what his answer might be to her question. Upon hearing it she wondered some if she would even be able to handle him in that manner. Not now of course, she wanted to build something maybe if he did. Smiling some, "I've never heard a reply like that to be quite honest with you. I wouldn't doubt that your well um... built for the task..." The sound of her voice was enticingly fun because of the fact that smile made it into her words.

Her hands rested on the table some as she moved them back and forth, she wasn't sure how to answer him, "You'll probably judge me pretty harshly for this but um... one guy I was dating didn't know I worked at the club... as a dancer. That I could be paid for more than umm lap dances," A light pause as she looked down at the table cloth some before continuing, "So, I was working in a room with a particularly built male bull, my boyfriend walks in on us with this other woman. Then proceeds to revenge fuck her in the same room even though I was working and not doing it because I wanted too. It was embarrassing and kinda umm awkward when the guy paid me. He was just glad he lasted longer than my ex."

She had a light giggle at that sighing some and sitting back, "Probably could have gone with the typical I put my dance costume on inside out once but it wasn't nearly as embarrassing as that was to me... I'm not bothered any more just made me feel like I was ugly at the time..." Shrugging some she would have looked down. It wasn't like she was ashamed of her jobs. If she was she would have told him. Yet, it just made it difficult to hook up or date because they thought she was loose because of her job. It wasn't the case at all.

"Also it's very rare a client will purchase that... just a heads up." Pointing that out she would have swallowed and took a drink again, "Why don't you ask me something that's been on your mind?"

[Assistant]
Her story was a bit odd. Othiaso wasn't quite sure what to make of it. It wasn't part of any world that he was really familiar with or had encountered before, so he honestly didn't know how to feel about it. Being... intimate with someone for money... That felt wrong to him, but then the response of the ex boyfriend seemed worse still. As for the remark regarding the 'customer', he honestly didn't know how to feel about that. Was it a positive reflection on her, or the 'customer', or a negative one on her ex and his partner for that particular tryst? He wasn't sure. He considered carefully before he spoke.

"I do not think that I could do that. It would not feel right to me. That is not what such a beautiful shared moment is about. So, perhaps I do not find it easy to understand why you would agree to it when you clearly found it upsetting. I can see why it would have made you feel bad though. It does not sound pleasant at all. One thing I can say for sure though Ashlie is that you are not ugly though. Quite the opposite. You are very perky and cute and lively. I would not have swiped right on you if I did not find you pretty and interesting. Any man who makes you feel uncomfortable like that, who asks things of you that you do not feel are right is not worthy of you." He said firmly. He hesitated and then reached over the table to stroke the back of her little hand with his for a moment before withdrawing it.

Her next question flummoxed him a little. His mind really didn't work that way. He didn't get curious or get bothered by questions. In his word a spade was a spade and a pretty girl was a pretty girl. He frowned a little again, his expressive lips twitching.

"Do you paint your hooves?" He hazarded after a moment. "I'm sorry. I don't think of things like that. It's not the way my mind works. I take things very literally. It's a quirk of mine. I don't question things sometimes." He said a little apologetically. "If you have a question for me though do feel free to ask though and I'll do my best to answer it."

[User]
Ashlie looked a little bit upset by his obvious taking of her story wrong. In her mind anyway, she couldn't blame him but it didn't sit well either. She had jobs to make money in order to live wither or not people liked them or what she did wasn't her fault. Licking her lips she would have had a furrowed brow, "I appreciate your honesty..." She stated feeling his hand on hers for the brief time it was there before feeling it pull away. Her eyes shimmering some as she would have let the anger roll off some. It wasn't his fault perhaps she just put her foot in her mouth like she was always tending to do.

A sigh came out as she looked away, he was a very literal being and that was a little hard to take. She was always sarcastic, creative with words, and always looking to try and put doses of humor into things. Yet, that would mean she would have to be a little careful and tip-toe around things. Wiggling an ear she would have looked over him, _Needs to be thankful he's fucking hot..._ She thought to herself as she would have looked away again just thinking about something to say.

Hearing his question made her head tilt, "Yes, I paint them... whenever the mood is right or its required for a costume when I dance." She replied softly and had a gentle smile. "I haven't had a beautiful shared moment with a male in four years or so? They all wanted to treat me like I get treated at my job... nasty and rude." Her voice was clearly full of bitter tones. She didn't mean for it but by the look in her eyes it was a clear hurt. "Got any particular alcoholic beverages you just die to have multiples of?"

Her eyes searched him again as she tried to put on a smile it was a little bit hard. It wasn't that she was crying or emotional but somethings had kinda hurt but that wasn't the point. Ashlie was going to do her best to push past it. Her hair in her face. "What is your ultimate favorite desert too?"

[Assistant]
She didn't like his answer, Othiaso could see it in her eyes, but there was no other answer that he could have given her. The world she had described was not one that he understood. He could understand about needing money, or needing a job, but there was still a line of things that he simply would not do and that was that as far as he was concerned. It was not that he had no empathy for her, he simply could not quite get his head around what she had tried to tell him. He was metaphorically speaking, a fish looking at a bicycle. He felt bad knowing that he had not pleased her, or she was angry, but he couldn't change that either. HE tried to get his head around the fact that she seemed to want to ask questions and have him ask her questions too.

"Well I, I honestly don't drink that much. It got to be habit when I was first starting my business. I just didn't have the money to buy things to excess and I haven't really developed a habit as a result. I mean there is nothing so good as a cold beer on hot day, you know? You've been working hard, it's hot. You take your shirt off, let the breeze dry your fur and sip a cold beer..." He paused and smiled a little. "Although I do quite like Limoncello. It's a spirit made with lemons. It's very refreshing after a meal. I like a shot of that if I can get it. Is there anything you like?"

Othiaso considered her next question and what she said about her experiences with men. "Then they were not worthy of your time. I do not think you liked how I answered you before, but I would not treat you a certain way because of the work that you do. Some furs assume that because I am big and I talk slowly and I work with my hands that I am stupid. I do not think that I could build a rocket, but I know soils, I know plants, I know how to design a garden. I run a business. I am no fool, but that is what some furs think of me." He said carefully, hoping she might see that he could understand that part of her life.

"As for desert I prefer savory to sweet, so I quite like biscuits and cheese. You said that you are a dancer. What do you like about dancing? What was it that drew you to it first? You must love it, even if you do not love everything about doing it for your job." He asked. As they were speaking the waiter reappeared and dropped off a plate with fritters and another with dumplings off with a smile. Othiaso gestured to the plates. "Help yourself please."

[User]
Ashlie tilted her head at his question some it was unexpected in a way, to be asked why she liked her job, and yet it kinda made her sit and think hard about it. "I guess I like the fact that no matter what I do there good or bad someone can find me sexy and not cute. I love being able to move in ways that are more exaggerated and graceful than just simply walking about." Her voice gentle as she noticed the food arrive some. "Honestly because you own your own business shows that your highly intelligent the only issue is how often do you tend to express that or exercise it in public?"

She wasn't being rude with her question that time but being more of a realist. Her eyes glowing lightly as she would have used her fork and placed a couple dumplings on her plate and one of the fritters. Taking a drink of her water and then looking back over him, "I like baileys and coffee for my choice of alcoholic sin. I can drink so many of those I'm sick the next day but it's mainly because I enjoy the flavors so much." Considering how to best answer the rest of his statements she would have flicked her tail idly side to side.

"I think what drew me to the job was the fact a friend of mine who owns the club showed me it once he got it done. I loved the way it looked and playfully not really thinking about it started to in my head be goofy and dance around a poll he had near us. It was like everything clicked and I knew how to move and express myself there... it was right after high school and I truly didn't have much money to pay for college or anything to live." Her tone sounded as though she wished people wouldn't judge her for the fact she made money selling her body in a way for peoples entertainment.

"I guess my favorite part is that I feel comfortable being nude and dancing even though people look at me and make up their own minds on if they like what they see or not. Doesn't matter because I am finally comfortable enough to move that way..." her eyes looked down again at her plate as she began to eat some of the dumplings wishing people would understand her weirdness. After eating some she would look at him a little bit, "I'm sorry that I'm too weird and just not a normal woman to meet."

Her tone sounded sad as swallowed figuring he wouldn't want a second date or anything. She was just going to have to make the most of this one. As best as she could do.

[Assistant]
"Oh I don't. I don't have anything to prove to anyone. I know what I can do and what I cannot." Othiaso said with a smile and slight shrug of his shoulders."I know some Furs can think that, so I am prepared to deal with it. Beyond that I do not worry about it. They are wrong and I know that."

The food was good. There was not enough of it for his personal liking, but that was not unusual given his size and was something that he had learned to live with. He let her take half and the other half for himself, as was fair and equal. He could mostly understand her answer about dancing. The bit about being naked not so much, but the idea of having a place where you felt comfortable and able to be yourself, that he could identify with.

"I see. I understand that I think. I feel happy and free when I am outside creating a garden. It is perhaps something like what you feel when you are dancing? The freedom I mean. Being at ease with yourself. Doing something that you truly love. You are not weird Ashlie. No more weird than I am for knowing the Latin name of every plant that we have walked by tonight and where they come from. You are just different and that is alright. I am not afraid or worried about different. I would like to see you dance sometime though. It would be nice to see you at peace with yourself and free. I could show you one of my gardens in return? Show you somewhere that make me feel like that." He offered, stacking the empty plates from their starters as was his habit.

The waiter appeared taking the plates and returning with their mains a few minutes later. Othiaso drew his plate a little closer and began to eat. "You said you are also a teacher I think? What do you teach? A specific subject or are you like a kindergarten teacher and know a bit of everything?" He asked.

[User]
"Well it's good you feel like you don't have to prove anything to anyone." Ashlie replied softly as she took a drink of water now between bites of her main food that had shown up. "I would also love to see whatever you make with a garden I am sure it's lovely and special to you." Her voice was gentle as she smiled over to him being as sweet and gentle as she could be. Her eyes searching him when he got to his next set of questions which didn't seem to bother her any.

"Oh! Right, I am a professor at the local university and I teach English Literature. Mostly any subject but the one I started recently for the fall is the gothic literature were we focus on things like Anne rice and Stephen King with older influences such as Edgar Alan Poe. That's just to name a small few of what I have planned. The students also have to watch a movie adaptation at the end of the semester and tell me the differences in concepts between the original novel and movie adaptation and what they though."

Her eyes glittered whenever she spoke of the subject and her tail seemed to mimic this nature. Her mouth in a lovely smile as she would watch him some, "I don't mean to bore you any but I'm a English nerd of sorts on top of my already weird lifestyle choices. I feel though in some sense I tend to be well rounded with my mindset but creativity is the one thing that in a way I am not lacking." Ashlie would have pushed some of the food around her plate before she happily took another bite.

"I want to know though do you have any major projects coming up?" She asked with a softness to her tone as she watched him above her plate. She ate slow just to continue conversation and because it was a little more respectful than to not.

[Assistant]
Othiaso wasn't expecting her to say she was professor. That caught him by surprise. It seemed like an odd thing for a university to be comfortable with a member of their faculty also moonlighting as an exotic nude dancer. He guessed that the university must not know about her other career. It wasn't really his concern anyway, so he didn't think to hard about it.

"Sounds like an interesting course. I'm not great at exams, but I finished my diploma in landscaping and garden design at a local college. Most people don't need their garden designer to have a college degree." He said with a smile. "I can see how your work animates you. I think we are both lucky to have jobs that we enjoy so much." He observed. "Well, I just got a job after I met you. That was where I was going when we bumped into each other. I have to do some more detailed layout designs and get them to the client this week, but then I will be starting work in a week or two, if those are approved." He said.

Catching the waiter's eye he had the table cleared and asked for the bill. He paid in cash and they made their way out and began to walk across the park. As they stepped outside, he reached down, stopping a little to do it and took her hand lightly in his. His fingers were too big to slip through hers, so he just enveloped it, but without squeezing. It was a little bit forward, but he felt she needs a little reassurance that he wasn't looking to leave and was enjoying himself and it felt like a small, but appropriate gesture.

The bar was surprisingly quiet after the restaurant, not more than half a dozen furs inside. He walked up to the bar with her, lifting her lightly on a bar stool, his big hands lingering on her his as he stood behind her and leaned in to order two mojitos for them. "You don't mind?" He asked quietly. "I thought it was time to move things along a little." He hands stayed on her hips, perhaps to steady her on the high stool, but perhaps not.

[User]
Ashlie was glad that he was willing to pay for her meal. It was very lovely despite the fact that now she was feeling the aftermath of the spice. The feeling made her throat feel very warm and delightful though. That was something about that type of food she would remember and keep in mind for next time that she didn't like the heat but loved the warmth of it. Eyes glimmering as she watched the waiter clear their spot. When Othiaso pay in cash she would have wiped her mouth with a napkin and placed it on the table standing up and watching him some. Her hair was a little in her face.

Once they made their way out she would be walking beside him feeling his hand very gingerly placed on hers. Looking over him some she felt a little bit more reassured and she wondered if he was doing this because he felt he had to or because he wanted too. That was something she would have to ask at some point but now the fendoe would just enjoy the situation for what it was. Taking notes of the park and the wild beauty that seemed to exist. Her eyes seeing the bar and tilting her head.

It was very uniquely designed and even made her giggle some because it wasn't very full. She moved inside once he opened the door for her but once they got to the bar she felt his hands move to her hips as he picked her up. It made her blush as she set down on the barstool. Swallowing some when she felt him behind her as well.

"Move things along in what way?" She asked back quietly now with her searching eyes looking back over him. The way she was angled at that point would have given him a good view down the front of her dress were her breasts were. It wasn't anything special per se but it would let him know that she was pretty well curved. She felt shivers run over her because of how close he was standing and the hands on her hips. She didn't complain in the least about because it made her feel like she was attractive to him. "If you're referring to the drinks then yes I'm all about it." She teased now.

[Assistant]
Othiaso glanced down at her as she spoke, noticing her bust, which was hard to ignore from where he was looking down at her. It wasn't exactly that she had a large bust as such, but rather it was large for her relatively petite, but curvy frame and looking down over her shoulder simply served to highlight it to maximum effect. His hands stroked slowly on her hips, feeling the curve of them, his chest brushing against her back as he leaned into her a little.

"I just meant I thought it was time to go and get a drink. I didn't want you to feel like I was hurrying you along." He said with a smile. The mojitos arrived a moment later and Othiaso paid for them with cash again. He leaned over and picked one up and offered it to her. He took the other and took a pull through the straw, the raw flavors of mint and sugar hitting his tongue than fading to be replaced by the heat and bitterness of the rum, fading to the true bitterness of the lime. He shivered, fur prickling slightly, whinnying softly with enjoyment.

"I hope that was worth a little waiting for." He asked, putting the glass down on the counter. His hand slipping smoothly back onto her hip, beginning to stroke slowly again. His hands relaxing unconsciously, palms pressing into her sides, large fingers stroking lightly across her belly, the hit of rum relaxing him a little perhaps. After a moment or two he realized that he was doing it and paused, but did not pull his hands back, not wanting to make it worse.

"Just tell me if I'm being overly familiar, or invading your personal space." He said quietly, beginning to draw his fingers slowly back towards her hips.

[User]
The female fennec and doe mix blushed hard as she was handed her drink, having listened to his words as well, "I didn't feel rushed any but I will say I was taking what you said in a different direction." Ashlie giggled lightly but made no sign to explain herself any. As she took a drink she made almost a coo like sound or a mini purr. It was hard to tell but it was something the fennec fox side of her typically did ferally because of their breed to show happiness.

Her blue violet eyes then would have looked over her rim of the glass, hearing him slightly whinny at the drink, but that was when she felt his hands move along her stomach. It made the blush deeper and she lightly looked away biting her lip. She really liked the feeling of it because it made every part of her happy that he was enjoying her company and how she felt. She would have set her glass on the bar for a little bit enjoying his touches.

Taking her hands and lightly moving them over his own when she felt him lightly retreat them away from her stomach she moved them back. Softly looking back over her shoulder now at him for a moment, "You're not bothering me any at all and I don't know why you feel as though you have to in a way almost apologize for it. To me it just shows you're enjoying spending time with me. I don't really know where you want this to go if you wanna take things into more than just one date or a fling... just let me know I guess?"

Her voice was curiously soft but loud enough he would be able to hear it, thankful it was no longer too noisy in the location they were in. There seemed to be a light in her eyes that showed she hoped for this to lead into a relationship type situation rather than just being alone all the time.

[Assistant]
Her hands took his, stopping them from slipping back. Othiaso could have used his clearly greatly strength, but he didn't, letting her half hold and half guide his hands back onto her belly. That was all the reassurance that he needed that his advances were not unwanted and unwelcome. Her remark was not something he would expect someone else to ask him, but he was getting used to the fact that she was good at catching him off guard. he considered before answering.

"I mean, if you're enjoying yourself the you know whether or not you want to see me again. Speaking for myself, well this date has been a little unexpected, but not in a bad way. I mean we could have another drink and you could come for coffee? See if you like my place as well as me?" He offered, giving the time honored indirect offer of a chance to size his home up before sizing up his bed if she liked what she found.

Vanessa had loved hugging her dalmatian friend and wished that she had let the moment last a little longer, after all she was already trying to figure out when she could be that close to Ava again. The serpent just hoped Ava liked the hug as much as she did. Vanessa hoped Ava wasn't just being polite when she said thank you, but then again she had been quite cute and flustered like earlier. The two new friends spent a while walking around, but the more they did the more Vanessa was able to get her bearings. Eventually along their wandering trail they came upon the large sports complex. "Thisss isss gonna be my other home," Vanessa laughed, as she led the way inside a large building at the center of the complex.

The sports complex itself was a few different buildings in close proximity, including a swimming pool, a track, a large indoor stadium, and the one building that the serpent was really interested in, the athlete's gym. Entering in the gym Vanessa and her friend were met by a reception area that had a large amount of trophies and medals on display from the past students that had trained in the gym.

"Welcome," a young buck greeted Vanessa and Ava, as they entered. The buck didn't look much older than herself or any of the other students, so Vanessa figured he was probably a student worker. "Are you guys athletes? The facility is open to everyone today for tours and to look around, but usually it's reserved for athletes only. If you are an athlete, I'd be more than happy to point you in the direction you should go next and set you up in our system so you can get access to the building 24hours a day," the buck explained with a smile.

Knowing what would happen if she told the doe she was an athlete and not wanting to leave her new friend or waste their time right now, Vanessa told a little lie or just left out some information. "We're jussst here to look around," Vanessa explained, as she led the way up to the reception desk and past it into the facility. "Oh," the deer commented, probably having figured the large serpent was an athlete. "Well, help yourselves, we just ask that you not touch any of the equipment," the buck added, smiling at the new students as they walked by. "I can't wait to sssee what they have in here," Vanessa explained with a smile, as she led Ava into the first room of the gym. The first room was a large, tall open workout room filled with a variety of different machines and equipment.

[Assistant]
After the hug in the library, Ava started feeling more comfortable next to Vanessa. She was a lot kinder than she looked like, and wasn't afraid to show affection. It was a a nice change from what Ava was used to and she smiled as the two girls walked along campus. After a while walking around and getting used to the layout of the buildings, they finally found the sports complex and went inside. Vanessa clearly more excited to be there than Ava.

The place was huge. There was a racing track, swimming pool, even a stadium. But what Vanessa seemed more interested in though was the athlete's gym. As they checked out the trophies right at the entrance, a deer approached them asking if they were athletes wanting to use the place. Ava half hid herself behind Vanessa, trying to think of how to reply, but thankfully Vanessa dismissed him for her. What surprised her though was that the snake girl didn't tell the full truth to him. She appreciated it though as it meant she would spend more time with her instead of talking about the gym with the worker.

Once inside, Ava looked around with Vanessa, making sure not to touch anything like the man had asked them to. The room was full of various different workout equipments, besides the treadmill, Ava had no idea what any of the machines were. Vanessa on the other hand seemed thrilled to be there and looked excited to start using them. "I honestly have no idea on how to use any of these machines." She admitted, chuckling softly.

[User]
Vanessa couldn't help but let out a little chuckle, as Ava admitted to not knowing much about any of the equipment before her. "Well, I'd be more than happy to help you learn how to ussse sssome of thisss ssstuff," Vanessa explained, with a smile. Though she had meant what she said completely innocently, the slightly more perverted side of Vanesa could not deny how exciting it would be to help the sweaty canine workout. Shaking the thoughts from her head Vanessa continued to explore the gym.

"Ssso, I'm guessssing you probably don't watch a ton of sssportsss," Vanessa explained, as they moved from the large equipment room into the free weights section. Like the part of the building with the machines the free weight room felt very open and had enough room for an entire team to lift at the same time if need be. Seeing all the weights and equipment, made Vanessa really want to work out.

"Let'sss go in here," Vanessa explained, pointing over to a locker room. The locker room was super clean, as no one was really using it, and again it had everything an athlete could use from ice baths, to a sauna, and to a large communal shower. "Wanna play a game?" Vanessa asked, a rather devious smile crossing her lips.

[Assistant]
"I don't know about that..." Ava replied shyly at the thought of working out. She wasn't lazy or anything, she always participated in her P-Ed classes in high-school. But she never did anything more intense like this. She then shook her head to Vanessa's question" No, I don't. Not a big fan of watching TV actually. I prefer my books." She admitted, but if she was to be more honest, it was actually that she simply never had much time to watch television. Even going to a theather was something Ava never experienced in her life. "I do like golf though" she commented on the only sport she's ever played. Her parents were members of a country club they would go sometimes during vacations and they would almost always play golf while they were there.

Ava kept following Vanessa around as she explored the gym and didn't really think twice when they entered the locker room. Thankfully it was completely empty since the gym itself wasn't open for use yet. Biting her bottom lip a little hesitant, Ava thought for a second on Vanessa's question, knowing her new friend had a strange random mind she couldn't figure out yet. But her curiosity got the best of her and she knew the snake girl wouldn't do anything bad to her. Not to mention, Ava was a sucket for playing games. "OK. What type of game?"

[User]
Golf was the one sport Vanessa knew nothing about, so of course it would be the one Ava liked the most. Even though she didn't have any idea how to play Vanessa would. "Well," Vanessa started, excited that Ava was willing to at least try a game, though she didn't know if the Dalmatian would feel the same after she had explained the game.

"Let'sss play a game of chicken," a large smirk crossed the serpent's face as she looked down at her nervous friend. "It'sss a sssimple game all you have to do isss not be the chicken, if you are a chicken then you owe the none chicken one favor. For thisss game of chicken were gonna sssee who can anssswer more quessstionsss while taking their clothesss off, one question one piece of clothing," though Vanessa had played this game a million times with her friends, she had her doubts that it was going to go far with Ava, if the Dalmatian would even play along.

"I'll go firssst," Vanessa explained, as she rather care freely tossed her backpack off and onto one of the benches next to the empty lockers and took off her top, reaviling her large tits to the Dalmatian once more. "Who wasss your crusssh growing up?" Vanessa asked, a broad smile across her face as she once more tested her new friend and once more probably caught the Dalmatian by surprise and with no clue what to do, play or chicken out.

[Assistant]
Ava listened curious as Vanessa explained what the game was. She had only heard of this game before, Chicken, but never played it. From what little she knew it seemed pretty simple enough, players would alternate questions or dares with each other until someone 'chickened' out and gave up. What Ava didn't expect was Vanessa to so quickly take her shirt off. Which made her blush again as she started looking back to the entrance of the locker room

"V! What If someone comes in??" She exclaimed nervous but without shouting. Her eyes came back to Vanessa and were fixated on her gorgeous breasts. She bit her bottom lip. This was all waaay outside her comfort zone, but despite how shy and nervous Ava was, she had this small little problem of hating when people thought she was a coward or didn't accept a challenge. "I... I ahm..." She tried hard to stop blushing, and everytime she turned her gaze away, her eyes seemed to come back to Vanessa's tits on their own.

Gulping down, she gathered all her strength and accepted her game, she managed to stop looking at her breasts and looked up at her face. Blushing, she answered her question. "Mark... Mark Fishbach... he's... he's an internet celebrity..." As she used all her might to look at her while answering, as soon as she finished talking Ava's face started turning to the side, avoiding eye contact as she was really embarrassed. It was normal right? To have a crush on a celebrity? She never really got to know anyone during high school and never had any real friends she could go attached to.

[User]
Vanessa could see how Ava's eyes were drawn to her breasts, the innocent canine couldn't seem to get enough of them. Knowing that Ava was continually checking out her naked titis and obviously wanting to see more, caused a spark to ignite inside Vanessa's core. Smiling and placing her hands on her hips Vanessa waited for her friend to answer the question.

"Hmm," Vanessa pondered, her face scrunching as she tried to remember if she knew who Ava's crush was. "You gonna have to ssshow me sssome picturesss later, becaussse I don't think I know who Mark Fishbach isss," Vanessa explained, as she finished trying to remember and just accepted that she didn't know.

"It'sss your turn now, ssshow me sssome of that pretty fur and asssk your quessstion," Vanessa explained, a twisted and excited smile crossing her lips. "Or you know you could jussst chicken out and let me win," Vanessa added, rather excited to see how competitive her new friend was.

[Assistant]
_I can do this..._ Ava thought to herself after realizing she successfully answered Vanessa's question. _It's just a game of questions... not too bad... just..._ She kept thinking as her gaze was once again brought to the snake girl's gorgeous looking breasts. _Don't think about that too much. We're both girls... there's nothing wrong with this._

What Ava forgot was that it was now her turn to ask a question. And take off a piece of clothing. There was no way that her face could get any more flustered by this point. Taking a deep breath, her hands slowly grabbed the hem of her shirt. _I can do this... we'll be living together after all. Eventually we would see each other with little to no clothes. Better to get over it right away right?_

Determined not to lose the game, Ava pulled her shirt up and took it off, letting it fall on the bench besides her. The top portion of her body was now exposed for Vanessa's viewing, except for the most important part, since Ava was obviously wearing a soft purple bra under her shirt. Despite that, she still tried to hide her breasts by covering them a bit with her hands. The rest was completely on view for Vanessa though. Her soft fur on her belly and arms. "T-There... I-I did it..." She stuttered but a small smile was trying to form on her face. Never had she ever thought of doing something like this, but weirdly enough, it was a bit fun...

"So... ahm... my question right?" She confirmed and tried to think of something she might want to know about Vanessa. A question came to her mind which made her blush again, as if she could get more flustered than she already was anyway. "How... how was your first date... with someone?" Never having dated anyone in her life, this was something Ava was a bit more than curious to know how it was like.

[User]
Even though she knew the canine had to be wearing a bra Vanessa was still rather excited and a little turned on when her friend chose to play the game with her and take off her shirt. The Dalmatian had the most beautiful body Vanessa had seen in some time, even if she was determined to try and hide what she could from the serpent's hungry eyes. Ava's shy cuteness combined with her toned, spotted furry body caused the spark inside Vanessa's core to grow into more. With her eyes searching her new friend's perfect body Vanessa could feel her cock begin to stir to life.

Lost in her concentration and taking every subtle thing about the Dalmatian in Vanessa almost forgot that they were playing a game. "Ya it'sss your turn to asssk me a quessstion," Vanessa confirmed, as she attempted to focus on the game. Bringing her attention away from the canine's body it quickly donned on Vanessa that she was sporting a growing hardon. Not afraid of showing what she had Vanessa wasn't bothered by her arousal, she just wondered how Ava was going to take realizing that they weren't exactly the same sex.

When Ava finally asked her question it gave Vanessa a much needed distraction from what was becoming her obvious as it started to bludge against the fabric of her mini skirt.

"Ssso for my fissst date I took thisss girl Trisssha who I was friendsss with ssskating, becaussse I think it wasss around Christmasss. After ssskating we got sssome coffee and talked for a while. Eventually, I let it ssslip that my mom wasss working late and that I had the houssse all to my ssself," Vanessa explained, trying her best to remember her first date, as it was far from her only one.

"After we made it to my place we messsed around for hoursss until we eventually fell asssleep together. I'm pretty sssure I remember Trisssha getting in trouble for ssspending the night, sssince ssshe didn't have permisssion to," Vanessa finished her story, a smile crossing her lips as she wondered what Ava was thinking.

"Oh," Vanessa giggled a little, as she remembered another funny part of her first date, "Trisssh'sss dad had come over sssuper early to pick her up and wasss trying to be angry, only he totally forgot how to be angry, when my mom opened the door and he recognized her from her work."

Finished with her story, Vanessa smiled at her new friend and slipped her thumbs under the sim of her skirt. "You want me to asssk another quessstion or are you done?" Vanessa asked, as her eyes continued to search her friend for anything she might have missed. Taunting her friend Vanessa slowly teased taking off her skirt.

[Assistant]
Ava was so distracted and embarrassed that she didn't notice the small buldge starting to grow under Vanessa's skirt. All she could pay attention was in her breasts and how she noticed the snake girl looked at her exposed body. _We're two girls, there's nothing wrong with this._ she kept telling herself

Vanessa started telling her about her first date and Ava immediatelly blushed when hearing Vanessa's first date had been with another girl. So did that mean... oh god... did Vanessa actually think she was attractive? This suddenly became even more embarressing for Ava as she kept hearing Vanessa's story.

Besides how she described them 'messing around', the rest of the date sounded actually a lot of fun. It seemed like they really liked each other and Ava felt a bit sad for never having had a date like that before.

"I... I see. Seems like it was a lot of fun." She replied trying to hide her embarrassment for realizing Vanessa was lesbian. The snake girl then teased her but slowly lowering the hem of her shirt and asking if Ava was still going to keep going. The dalmatian swallowed her nervousness and nodded. No point in giving up now since she already came this far. "Ask your question..."

[User]
"Okay, I just hope you're not too disssappointed with me after thisss," Vanessa explained, her face turning into one of nervousness, as it wasn't uncommon for her to lose girlfriends when they discovered what was under her skirt. Though she was slightly nervous about how Ava would react, Vanessa slowly and confidently pulled her dress down.

Kicking her skirt off to the side, Vanessa took her time looking back at her new friend, showing a side she kept mostly to herself. Liking to dress in a more feminine manner then her body might allow sometimes and sporting an impressive cock Vanessa found it hard to find anything to wear under her skirts. Not being able to find anything cute that could fit her large member meant the serpent almost always went freeballing. Standing there in just her torn leggings that only came about halfway up her thighs, Vanessa finally looked up to meet Ava's gaze.

[Assistant]
So far this day has been the craziest day in Ava's whole life. Her roommate started introducing herself by showing her breasts. Hugged her. Brought her to the locker rooms and then challenged her to a game of questions by taking off their clothes. Ava was nervous, embarrassed, but so far... actually liking being around the snake girl. She was... wild. Care free. Impulsive. All things Ava never was.

Despite all that, nothing could have prepared the dalmatian for what came next. As Vanessa pulled down her skirt, Ava hoped she would be using panties underneath it, but she wasn't. That wasn't what shocked her though. What really shocked her was seeing that Vanessa, which she just found out was lesbian, also had a huge cock attached to her. It made sense now why she would like other girls.

The dog girl immediately covered her face with her hands, too shocked and embarrassed to keep looking. But a small part of her kept one of her fingers pulled to the side, meaning she could still see Vanessa's massive cock. She's never seen a cock before. But as far as she knew, only guys should have one... right? Not knowing how to react, what to say or do, Ava simply stood there. Red as a tomato and unable to take her eyes off of her friends cock, she simply kept waiting for Vanessa's question

[User]
Vanessa could play the shy girl for only so long, eventually her hands returned to her hips and she had the confidence to look at her canine friend, which compared to some reactions she had received in the past was super cute and totally fitting of Ava. "Isss it that ugly?" Vanessa giggled, as she watched Ava cover her face. Turning her attention from the dalmatian Vanessa looked down her toned muscular body to see her now rigid cock.

"You know if you weren't ssso damn cute it look different," Vanessa added, as she realized she could no longer hide what the canine was doing to her. Anything but normal Vanessa's member was quite the interesting cock, with a nice tip at the end and a knot at its base of the seven thick inches. Accompanying her thick shaft, Vanessa had a nice sized pair of balls that obviously had trouble fitting between her legs.

"I guesss my next quessstion iss if you like what you sssee," Vanessa asked, a smile once more crossing her lips as she looked up at Ava and wondered how much more the shy dalmatian would be able to take.

[Assistant]
Vanessa seemed to be back to her confident posture as she looked at Ava staring at her cock. Her voice thankfully was enough to make Ava look up at her face for a second, breaking her spell of looking at her cock. She asked the dalmatian if it was ugly, at which point her eyes gazed back down at it again. Was it ugly? Ava had no idea how to describe it. She's never seen a cock before in her life. "I-I-I... I don't... think so..." She stuttered and stumbled with her words.

Her gaze went back up to Vanessa's face completely flustered as her friend told her it was like that because she was cute. _So she does think I'm cute! She... she finds me attractive... did I really make her... like this?_ Ava could only stare at the snake girl's cock. It was big, just by looking at it, Ava didn't know if it would fit in one of her hands alone if she were to hold it. Then she realized what she was thinking. _Do I wanna hold it?? No no. That's... no..._ Ava has never even had her first kiss yet. This was definitely skipping a lot of steps for her.

Then Vanessa finally asked her question, to which Ava averted her eyes blushing and biting her lower lip without Vanessa seeing. Did she like it? She had no idea. The puppy girl's mind was filled with different feelings and questions. Her body felt weird. Her legs very so slightly trembling. And her eyes kept betraying her and going back and forth from the floor to her cock and then to the floor again. She had to be honest right? But what was honest when even she didn't know what she thought? Ava tried to swallow her nervousness and looked back at Vanessa, barely managing to look in her eyes. "I... I don't..." She paused, trying to focus and answer her question. "I don't... hate it. I-I guess it's... I've never seen one before..."

[User]
The fact that Ava had never seen anything like her cock didn't really surprise Vanessa, if anything it just made her already perfect cute innocent beauty that much more amazing. Vanessa gave Ava plenty of time to examine her body before she decided to move the game forward, only not in the same way.

"Well, you want to get a clossser look?" Vanessa asked, a twisted smile crossing her lips. While she waited for her friend to figure out what she wanted to do Vanessa moved her right hand to grip her cock. "If you're not too chicken you can even touch it," Vanessa challenged, as her hand slowly rubbed its way up the length of her thick cock. Keeping her eyes on Ava, Vanessa continued to slowly rub her thick member.

Standing close and alone with Ava, who had conveniently forgotten about her own body, caused the flames of hunger inside Vanessa's core to lash out. With lust burning in her eyes Vanessa waited to see if her new friend was ready to chicken out.

[Assistant]
Ava had no idea what was going on. She had her bra and belly exposed, and the roommate she had just met that day was standing naked in front of her, with her cock hard and her hand slowly stroking it. She asked if Ava wanted to come closer, but her brain was so full that she didn't really process what she said, instead, her body slowly taking a step closer to her, then another, then a third step. Stopping when she was less than a few inches away from her.

Vanessa dared her to touch it. Once again, she had no idea what she was doing. This was all too new for her and she didn't know if it was right or wrong. Her hand moved slowly on its own, getting closer to her massive cock. Vanessa looked at her with lust and hunger in her eyes, but Ava didn't notice. Her hand closer and closer to touching her cock.

When her finger barely touched the tip of Vanessa's cock, something in Ava's brain clicked and she seemed to come back to normal, pulling away and blushing profusely. "Sorry sorry sorry" she exclaimed looking away and covering her body with her arms again, too embarrassed to keep looking at Vanessa's naked form. "I-I-I'm out... you... you win..." she declared in a soft and embarrassed voice. She hated losing at something but she was still not ready for something like this.

[User]
Vanessa would never have guessed what her new friend did next. Eyes widening in excitement and lust Vanessa watched as the cute dalmatian crossed the small gap between them to stand inches from her naked body. With the dalmatian so close Vanessa released her cock and returned her hand to her hip. Though she really wanted Ava to touch her, Vanessa couldn't help but be slightly nervous that she might be pushing the dalmatian too far. The lust burning inside Vanessa was just too much for the serpent to think straight, she wanted the dalmatian and couldn't talk herself out of it, especially not when Ava came to stand so close to her. Inhaling the scent of her new friend and obsession, Vanessa waited to see if Ava would go any further.

Biting her lower lip Vanessa watched closely as the dalmatian's paw drifted closer and closer to her thick cock. Wanting it to happen so badly Vanessa was taken off guard when Ava merely touched her and pulled away. Though she probably didn't know it or do it on purpose, Ava was easily the biggest tease Vanessa had ever met. For a moment the fire inside Vanessa lashed out angrily, but Vanessa quickly realized what was happening and set the fire out.

"Girl you don't need to apologize," Vanessa giggled, a broad smile crossing her lips. Vanessa knew better than to shame Ava or make her feel bad about not feeling comfortable. "I'm jussst glad you didn't run away when you learned I had sssomething different between my legsss," Vanessa continued trying to make Ava feel better. "Trussst me Ava, we all get nervousss when we're not usssed to thisss kinda ssstuff, ssso don't beat yourssself up too much," Vanessa added, as she leaned down to pick up her discarded clothes. Not wanting to make her new friend any more uncomfortable Vanessa began to dress.

[Assistant]
Vanessa was... OK? Ava hesitantly glanced back at her roommate and saw her picking her clothes and getting dressed again. She wasn't angry? She even said it was normal to be nervous as Ava was. The dalmatian for a second was worried that Vanessa would be angry, or make fun of her for chickening out. But no, she comforted her and said it was fine.

Ava was still a bit flustered, but managed to look back at her new friend now that she was dressed again. Although, the sight of her naked body and hard cock was definitely not leaving Ava's mind anytime soon. "I... I guess I owe you a favor then... right?" she asked, trying to smile and lighten the mood.

[User]
Even though she got dressed again, it was rather awkward for Vanessa after all she wasn't super used to being left with blue balls. Doing her best to tuck her still rigid cock under her skirt, Vanessa turned her attention back to her friend.

"Ava you don't owe me anything," Vanessa explained, with her usually kind smile. "You were anything but chicken. Jussst becaussse you got uncomfortable with that sssituation doesssn't make you a chicken. A chicken wouldn't have touched me or taken off her top. You jussst aren't usssed to this kinda ssstuff and it'sss not wrong to want to take it ssslow," Vanessa explained, reaching over to pick up Ava's top and hand it to the dalmatian.

"Don't let anyone ever call you chicken or make you feel bad about not being willing to do sssomething that makesss you feel wrong or uncomfortable," Vanessa told her friend, realizing Ava had probably missed the education her mother had given her about the importance of saying no and being honest with others. Smiling Ava waited for her friend to get dressed. While she waited for Ava, Vanessa's cock managed to shrink slightly back into its sheath.

"I hope I didn't pusssh you too far. Sssometimvesss I forget to think thingsss through all the way," Vanessa explained, hoping she hadn't already ruined their friendship.

[Assistant]
"But... the game. I lost..." she tried replying but Vanessa cut her off, telling her she was brave and far from being a chicken. Hearing her say all those thing to her made Ava smile happy, finally feeling that Vanessa could actually be a very good friend for her. Yes, she was very direct and open, but kind and caring. Which was all Ava really wanted.

Taking her top back, she slowly got dressed again while smiling, slightly flustered still. Once she was fully dressed again, she turned back to her new friend and bit her bottom lip. "Thank you V. This was... this was fun. Really." she smiled looking up at her and added. "But a game is still a game, and I lost. Even if I'm not a chicken, I still owe you a favor. That was the deal."

[User]
"Okay, you owe me a favor and I know I'll eventually need it," Vanessa smiled at her friend accepting that she had won the contest. With the game over and her cock no longer creating an awkward bulge in her mini skirt Vanessa saw no reason to continue to hangout in the locker room. Taking the lead Vanessa started from the locker room.

"I'm really sssurprised you lasssted that long," Vanessa explained, as she walked out of the locker room, "I totally figured you wouldn't like playing that kind of game, but you sssurprised me. You know if you like that kind of ssstuff there'sss no way you and I aren't going to be bessst friendsss." Once outside of the locker room, Vanessa led the way back towards the entrance.

Having explored everything she needed to right now, it was time for Vanessa to find out where the cafeteria was. "Are you hungry? I think we ssshould try and find the cafeteria next and then we can go get sssheetsss and ssstuff for your room," Vanessa explained, as they exited the building back into the fresh air of their beautiful college campus.

[Assistant]
Ava smiled while blushing as Vanessa said they'd become best friends in no time. The dog girl liked that. She never had any real friends, and Vanessa really seemed to like her, she also liked the snake girl so far and also hoped they would become best friends.

"Yeah, I guess I'm a bit hungry" she agreed, following her out of the gym and back to exploring the campus. "I don't really think I need much stuff for our room. We cab spend the rest of the day in our dorm afterwards, if you don't want to do anything else"

Vespira dangled from a fine thread of webbing, her slender digits intricately spinning a design in one of her many webs strewn about the walls of her cozy lair. Her silver locks, braided and beaded in tanzanite, framed her face as her figure hung upside-down. The drider thought clearer this way and today her mind was filled to the brim with deep thinking. She had not met another of her kind in almost a millennia. Driders were solitary creatures to begin with, but such a lonely nature has only proved detrimental to their numbers. Their race was declining at a fast rate and since males and females rarely coupled due to distance and lack of proper communication, offspring were little to none. Vespira, and what little others remained, were facing extinction. The deep-seated biological instinct to reproduce had bothered her for a couple years now, but her thrumming song along her spider silk, a mating call, had not enticed any suitors. Perhaps there were no suitors to seduce at all. She eventually gave up all together.

The last thing she anticipated happening was a human encroaching on her territory and even stepping foot into her home. Vespira had an unusual, but beneficial relationship with the village just outside the forest. They knew of her presence and feared her, so in exchange for their safety, they offered sacrifices every full moon. Delicious livestock, shiny trinkets and jewelry made up the bulk of their offerings. The drider had no complaint, even found humor in the tales of terror they told their spawn at night. That she would steal into their rooms and whisk them away back to her lair to eat or that she would stalk the healthiest men and kill them with her venom, resulting in poor harvest, ill animals and all matter of dark omens. Human flesh was admittedly tasty, but all their baseless idle chatter was just that. Only once had they offered a human to satisfy her hunger, their previous leader, but he was already dead.

This human had come willingly to her as a sacrifice. The echo of his fast-beating heart reverberated around the cave, the smell of his sweat-soaked body entered her nose like a musky cologne, the slight trembling of his limbs tempted the predator in her, but he had a condition in mind before he submitted. He wanted a vial of her venom. It was no secret that drider venom had two amazing properties, one miraculous, one deadly. Swallowed, the venom could cure the worst of ailments, but injected it could cause paralysis, organ failure and eventual death. Which he intended to use it for, she did not know and did not care. She accepted the deal, gave him a batch of her venom, and sent him on his way to do with it as he pleased. He would be back soon enough.

At first she felt excitement. Human was a delicacy Vespira had not delighted in for a very long time, but after her sacrifice left the possibilities blossomed in her mind like white roses, the delicate kind that grew in bushes just outside her lair. Yes, this arrangement will work out just fine.

[Assistant]
Derek had been rather terrified when he had last approached the Driders lair, scared of dying, but even more so, scared of the possibility of failing his beloved little sister... although Derek hardly looked to be the affectionate type, being a bit over six feet tall, with broad, muscular shoulders and matching arms strengthened by working at the anvil for hours on end, he looked more like some sort of thug than the loving caretaker of a sick little girl...

Now however, his fear was lessened significantly. Sure, he wasn't looking forward to death, but now that he knew his sister was well and had enough coin to support herself, he could rest easier knowing he had done his job to protect her. It had been four days since Derek first returned home with the Driders venom, and at first he had thought he had made a horrible mistake... the first day, she had broken out in a terrible fever. On the second, she had the shakes, trembling like a leaf, her body aching in pain. The third she had slept so deeply he had feared she was dead... but on the fourth day, when she awoke, she had more energy than she'd had in years. It was a miracle... although one he would pay a hefty price for.

Derek had briefly considered breaking his deal with the drider, but the possibility that the creature might come seeking revenge on him and his sister was far too dangerous... instead, he had told his sister that in order to get the miracle cure, he had made a deal with a merchant. He would work for him in a far away city until his debt was paid in exchange for the cure... he didn't want his sister to live with the guilt of his decision, and she would eventually figure he'd either disappeared, or started his own family somewhere far away... she would miss him, but at least she could live a full, happy life.

As he walked into the cave Derek took one last deep breath, feeling a strange sense of calm pass over him as he accepted his fate. "I have returned to pay my end of the bargain drider, my sister has recovered, and I am ready to pay my debt." Derek had been raised on the horror stories of the drider... of the slow, painful death that awaited him. He comforted himself with the thought that although his life would end, his sisters would go on... and for that, this was a price he was willing to pay.

[User]
The drider finished her handiwork while her angular back legs eased her to the cold stone floor. She was certainly a sight to behold through the eyes of a mortal, not just her heart-shaped face with four sets of ruby red eyes, but the dark ashen grey of her skin ending in a glassy abdomen of purplish  black. Vivid hues of blue and violet spots adorned the top and stretched from the spinnerets to the base of her spine. From her toes to her head Vespira reached ten feet, but her sleek humanoid form lacked any real muscular definition compared to her human offering. While he sported clothing, she wore nothing to cover her perky breasts, only strings of semi-precious gems and crystals draped over her arms and around her neck. Just like birds, driders were attracted to gleaming things.

Once the human man had entered her cave, his movement set off a series of vibrations through her connecting system of webs. They served as an alarm, alerting Vespira should trespassers slink into her humble abode for whatever devious reason. Just as easily as she was warned of his presence, the panicked tremors climbing up one of her limbs, she reached with a clawed hand to pull on a hanging cluster. The sturdy mesh he stood on came alive, wrapping around his calf and jerking him into the air as if he were nothing more than a ragdoll. "Hm, a mortal that keeps his word", she mused in a deep, honeyed voice. Approaching the upside-down man with a crooked grin, Vespira gave him a gentle spin. Humans were a fragile species, even if they looked as rough-and-tumble as this one. "Honest men are a dying breed. I was prepared to fetch you should you have kept me waiting another day".

She took the opportunity to study her captive more thoroughly. Glowing eyes of red fixedly wandered down his length, noting his robust physique with plain satisfaction. In her younger years she had met many mortals of the opposite sex, but none had represented such peak physical condition as the one swaying before her. They were typically a gluttonous sort, pompous and entitled. "Now let's check the equipment", she murmured, reaching out her hands to caress his stomach upwards to pull down his pants.

[Assistant]
Derek was surprised by the sudden jerking of his leg as the webbing took hold, hauling him up to hang like a pig on some butchers hook. He was spinning a little as she approached, watching her as she approached whenever she was in view, a bit thankful that she steadily him. "It took a few days for the venom to take full effect, I couldn't leave my sisters side until I was certain she was cured." He said, not sure why he felt the need to defend his actions... he supposed it didn't really matter what she thought of him, he was only going to be a meal to her, soon forgotten amongst the countless others.

He wasn't sure if it was the blood rushing to his head or not, but seeing her completely nude, human looking upper half made his face turn a bit red. He flinched slightly at her touch, an involuntary reaction on his part, not sure if she intended to tear into him then and there. What she did next was another surprise, although he supposed it made sense... if pigs wore pants we'd certainly undress them before starting the butchering process. As she worked on his clothes he spoke again. "I know that this was not specified in our earlier deal, but if I could make one small request... when you kill me... could you make it quick?" He asked, taking a deep breath to calm his nerves. "I mean... I don't begrudge you eating me, humans eat animals too... but even then, we do usually try to minimize suffering... I know you are under no obligation to do so, but I would... appreciate it." He said, unable to really believe he was saying all of this, it felt surreal... he was actually going to die, any second now... He did his best to keep calm, taking a few deep breaths, trying to just think of his sister... this was for her, and if he reminded himself of that fact, it made it all a little easier.

As she removed his clothing she would see, and smell that he was at least well groomed. He was clean from a quick bath in the river, although the not unpleasant smell of firewood smoke clung to him, a side effect of the forge, a smell that never really left him no matter how hard he scrubbed. His skin was pale, his body big and muscular, his hands rough from the work required of shaping steel. He was also rather well endowed, for a human. Even flaccid she could see he had a decent girth to him, his balls full and heavy with what she truly desired.

She would also no doubt notice something shiny on him... a silver pendant, one that was strung on a thin, elegant looking chain. It was a wire wrapped heart, the centre being a smooth, translucent red stone. The work was extremely detailed, done with a great deal of care and love... and in fact had some of the same fine craftsmanship as a piece of jewelry she had been offered up a few years previous.

So her precious venom was meant to heal his ill sister. Her brows furrowed in thoughtfulness. Humans were raised in close family units, developing strange bonds with each other. Once a drider hatched, they were on their own. Vespira's dozens of siblings would prefer her dead to narrow the competition and she was inclined to think the same. As for her parents, their only obligation was to see their eggs hatch. After that, it was either escape the nest or risk your dam resort to cannibalism. Hatchlings were taught to fend for themselves, to be strong in the face of immediate danger, and the practice was effective in weeding out the weak. What were the benefits of becoming attached to your family? This poor creature caught twirling in her web's embrace risked his life for a sibling, and for what? She was going to die anyway if not by disease, so what was the point of ending his earlier than fate planned? Stupid human emotions.

Working her lithe fingers under the course material of his trousers, pulling them to his knees, she finally revealed his member. She felt a familiar tingle in her nethers at the sight, one she had not felt in a very long while and was elated to feel once again. Even flaccid his rod was impressively long and thick, but his real weight in gold was what he held in his brimful sac. She palmed his weighty balls, reveling in their heat and texture. Yes, these would sire strong children! Her free hand fingered his hanging member in unnerving concentration, a tinkly laugh escaping her throat. How cute. The poor dear, much like a frightened puppy, was working himself in a tizzy. "Mm, you would be a tender and juicy meal", she hummed, licking her lips meanly. One black claw tapped on a corded thigh. "But, to save you anymore panicked rambling, I have other plans for you. So, at least for now, you're free of my fangs". It probably did not help her case that the layered webs surrounding them had stained bones and half-eaten carcasses stuck to their netting. What could she say? Girl's gotta eat!

Just as we she was reaching to untangle him from her clutches, a glimmer of something shiny caught her eyes. Unable to resist the pull, she lowered herself to his eye level and stepped closer, spying a glimmering bauble about his neck. Without a second thought, she tore it from him and admired the handiwork. The detailed design resembled the jewelry she collected from the village's offerings and the stone, she drooled, finding herself getting lost in the gem itself. "How sweet, another piece for collection".

Derek had expected many things, her cupping his balls had not been one of them. He made a small, startled sound as she did so, although thankfully her touch was a gentle one, and not exactly unpleasant... if he hadn't currently been hanging upside down and terrified, he might have actually enjoyed it...

He was both confused and relieved when she said she had other plans for him... he'd worry about what those plans could possibly be later, right now he was just glad that he wasn't about to be eaten alive. He watched as she discovered his pendant. He didn't attempt to stop her from taking it, if he ever got out of this situation he could always make another one. "I actually made that... it's part of a matching set, my sister has the other... My main job as a blacksmith is working on larger objects made of iron and steel... but occasionally I make jewelry... pretty sure you have an amethyst necklace I made a couple years back." He said, thinking maybe if he showed her he had a talent for making such things that she might be more inclined to keep him alive.

[User]
"Black... smith?" Curious indeed. She had a talent for crafting crude pieces of jewelry with bits of precious stone, but to think the callous hands of a mortal created such a gorgeous ornament. She had thought as much with every necklace and bracelet she found in her offerings from the village, and she held captive the very man who made them. At the mention of a piece of amethyst neckwear she had supposedly received years ago, she left her sacrifice pants down to pull out an old wooden box hidden in a dark crevice. Opening the latch, a mirror greeted her with a reflection while the bottom held a trove of blinking treasures. Searching through the stash, and putting the one she took from her new play thing inside, she pulled out the very article of jewelry he was referring to.

She held it up for him to see. "You made these? And not only jewelry, but you can make other things? How?" Vespira could use him for more than a sperm bank, but a tool to fill her lair with all sorts of riches. Her eyes were full of stars as she walked over and cut him free. "I think you just increased your value to me, human. If I asked you to make more, what would you need?" She lowered herself to his level, fondling the chain greedily.

[Assistant]
Derek watched as the spider woman scuttled about, looking oddly graceful in her own way. Seeing her take interest in his skills rather than how he might taste was certainly an improvement... and he was willing to do anything to encourage any line of thinking that kept him alive. "Well, I made all sorts of things back in my village... swords, pots and pans, horseshoes, tools... Anything made of metal, I can craft it... if I have access to my workshop." He said, speaking cautiously, not wanting to press his luck. "If you were to allow me to take trips back into town, I could make things for the villagers, and use the profits to make jewelry for you. You already know you can trust me to return... after all, I did once." He said, figuring that was proof of his trustworthiness. "If I were to spend... maybe two days a week back home, I could earn some coin, use that coin to buy precious metals and gems, and make items for you, whatever you'd like... as long as you give me the time to craft it." He said. Jewelry may be small, but it was intricate and time consuming work, requiring a careful touch and patience... then again, considering stories about her had been around since long before his grandfather was a child, he doubted waiting would be a problem for her.

"Uhhh... do you think you could let me back up? I'm getting kinda dizzy... and I'd like to pull my pants up if that's alright with you." He said, he was feeling rather exposed, and now that they were talking so casually he was starting to feel a bit embarrassed... he had been far too busy tending to his sister to have much of a social life, so his experience with women, although not non-existent, he wasn't so comfortable with them to not mind having his junk hanging out in front of one.

Vespira saw the logic in his proposal and felt overly-tempted to find these things stored in his house and bring them here, but as much as she would have preferred the easier route, it would be a headache moving them. Not to mention they would encroach on her sacred space and she liked her home just the way it was. Free of any annoyances, such as mortal instruments. Circling the dangling man slowly, she gave his idea more thought. "Quite the interesting proposition", she spoke languidly, fiddling with her amethyst bauble. He proved once to be a man of his word, but the drider still did not trust him. "I suppose two days would be acceptable. After all, if you decide to trick me and disappear, I could always take that miracle cure of your sister's and turn it into curse. I could strip away her vitality and leave her a rotting husk, let the village and its people suffer for your transgression. Yes! I do believe this plan of yours will work out splendidly !"

A darkly humorous smile twisted her lips at his plea. What was with humans and their fascination with clothes? They were simply unnecessary. Modesty had no place in nature and her plans for him called for a pantsless pelvis. Nevertheless, she cut him loose with one swift motion of her claw. "I will send you back to your village in three days, human. That should give you enough time to tend to my needs". For a practically immortal creature, days were mere minutes on a clock. His absence would be just short enough to satisfy her. She was not as patient as she would have one believe. "And I expect many sparkling, twinkling things when you return. Now, since you will be staying here, I imagine you will need a place to sleep and some food. I've never entertained pets before. My nest would be most convenient".

Her voice drifted into a series of mumbles, slinking off into a corner where her spinnerets came to life. She leaped onto the nearest wall, crawling across the vast network of webs above to the center. There, the webbing was layered into a thick hammock. She teetered about, fetching feathers and other soft materials stuck to her webs and gathered them in her nest to create a softer surface. Human were such fragile creatures and if she wanted to keep him alive, comfort was king.

Ayva tail curled just enough to bare her soft, dark fur of the back of her thighs. The thick tail swayed with her excitement. Finally spring break was here, and she can get away from her ever hovering parents. Its been months since she seen her brother. And in that time she had changed drastically. So is the way of their kind. And it is one of the few reasons her overly protective father was always chasing away any guy friends of her, or even potential boyfriends. What few male friends she still had, knew their place, and was straight up proper when around her father. Showing their utmost respect for the Alpha wolf.

Her ears gave a small twitch as she caught the sound of her brothers deep voice, and then their parents as he greeted them. A smile curling upon her maw as she pressed her suitcase closed, and snapped it shut with noisy clicks. She was nearly dancing as she turned. Her soft red skirting of her spring dress dancing along her thighs as she turned to fetch her purse from on top of the dresser. Stuffing a few more things from her wallet, makeup, few smaller things she didn't want to have to dig for in her luggage. Humming softly, she shrugged the strap of her purse over her shoulder, and tugged the luggage off of her bed with a small thud, and a grunt as she tugged and pulled out the handle. "Time to go."She purred and made her way down stairs.

Ayva looked up at her older brother, a warm smile passing her maw, as she nearly ignored her parents. turned her golden gaze over to her mother. "Yeah I know, Don't worry, I haven't forgotten the talk."She huffed, she was not a child, yet her parents treated her as a pup still. She was intelligent, and quick witted. She did well in school, quite popular, and high grades. She made sure she did well to allow her parents a bit of rest. But it also meant she didn't have much in means of fun. She turned down most parties she was invited to. She met their curfew. What else did they want from her.

She followed her brother out, waving her hand to her parents in goodbye. She couldn't wait to get away."Lets get out of here Alex."She smiled, slipping into the passenger seat and strapping herself into the seat.

[Assistant]
Alex hadn't really enjoyed going home the last few times he'd been there. It was much more liberating being in the outside world and not having to deal with his overbearing parents. They weren't nearly as strict with him as they were with Ayva and he could tell she was a bit frustrated by it. Either way, the visit was brief as his sister seemed eager to go and he was happy to oblige. He knew his parents meant well, but it could be tough to deal with. His tail thump mildly at his side as they settled in to the car, he was content to be leaving.

Once they both settled in the car and she was ready, he backed out of the driveway and they were on the road. It would be a drive, so they would have plenty of time to catch up. "So, I figured you'd want to cut loose a bit this week. There is a party tonight that we should be back in time to attend." As they moved out of the suburbs, he glanced over at her. "It's off the river, so hopefully you go my message and brought a swimsuit." he added. His sister had grown into an attractive female---he felt weird thinking about that.

He was a bit concerned about keeping an eye on her during the party. He knew that he had his own objectives---mainly to get drunk and get laid---but he didn't want his poor sister to succumb to some scumbag like him. He supposed they would cross that bridge when they got there. "Is there anything you wanted to do this week other than relax and get away from Mom and Dad?" A smirk danced across his muzzle. "I'll let you be as irresponsible as you want. Within reason."

He milled that thought over a bit and then the realization that his apartment was small. "Oh" he remembered. "My apartment isn't very big, so it'll be a bit cozy, but we can make it work."

[User]
Avya looked to her brother, a bit of surprise lighting her eyes. She has never been to a party before, well besides a few simple birthday parties and even then her mother was at least there. As if they did not trust her at all. So being given the opportunity to let loose, without the looming presence of their parents, despite their request that they are responsible, no parties and the like. What they didn't know wouldn't hurt them... would it? She hummed in contemplation before a smile tugged her maw. "Well... I think it would be fun. If your friends don't mind you bring me." She paused and nodded, a bit of bang slipping over her left eye. "I most certainly did, I brought a couple. To be honest. I didn't know which I should bring. plus... I bought another mom and dad don't know of."She smiled, hoping the new swimwear wasn't too revealing.

She couldn't deny that she was a bit nervous about a party, especially with older people. But there was something also very exciting about it. She thought for a moment, wondering what type of things they could do, now that she was out from her parent's watchful eye. There was so much they could do. "Well, honestly, I am game for whatever Alex. I am sure there are things that you... Can show me."She was smiling her voice held that lace of a purr, that also held her excitement. "I just want to have fun with my big brother." She smiled. she was fine with whatever, already she was feeling that sense of relief.

Avya didn't think she's ever seen his home and was quite curious "That is alright, I do not mind. The most important thing is that we have fun and hang, or well whatever you can think of."She smiled up at him. She was thankful just to be with him. She had always looked up to him and admired him. And his leaving took a good blow on her.

[Assistant]
Alex smirked though his attention was on the road, he was obviously listening to her as an ear was pointed in her direction. "I wouldn't necessarily say there were my friends. I have some friends there, but the party is being run by a frat, so there will be a ton of people there. It'll be a nice place to goof off, meet some people if you want, and get drunk." he grinned. "Oh, and they also do a mean BBQ, from what I've heard. This'll be my first year attending their spring break party."

He glanced at her a moment as they pulled up to a light. "A bathing suit Mom and Dad don't know about?" he laughed. "Already hiding things from them, eh? You'll turn into me before you know it. What, did you buy some slutty little thing?" he asked as the light turned green and he moved on. He was a protective brother when he still lived in the house, but he never really was protective in the boyfriend department because their parents never really let them date much, so he never really had the opportunity. He was curious how he would feel if he saw some drunk college dude flirting with his sister.

"We'll have fun, for sure. Even if it's just like the old days staying up late and goofing off with whatever we could get away with. Maybe we'll go see a movie, whatever. Other than tonight I don't really have an agenda, so we'll have to just figure that shit out." he stated as they got onto the highway. "The college town has some decent live music places too; we could go to a show too if you're into that."

[User]
Ayva couldn't help be a bit nervous. She had thought most of the people would be coming to such an event he would have known. But hey, new experiences right. She had a unique way of drawing people in. So she was hoping that she wouldn't draw too many unwanted advances. Especially in the new bathing suit, she had purchased. A cute two-piece, of red, sure skimpier then the rest she owns, but one that showed off her curves and beautiful fur. "Well, I am sure it will be exciting. And if they got good food well. What could go wrong?" She giggled slightly. Brushing away some thick locks of bangs.

She grinned mischievously to her brother. "Well, of course, I mean I wanted it, I thought it was cute, but you know how mom and dad can be." She couldn't keep from grinning as he teased her about hiding things and becoming like him. "Well is becoming more like you a bad thing?"She had looked up to him all her life, so it was only a matter of time she picked up on some of his habits. She gave a casual shrug of her shoulders. "Maybe, just a bit." She paused a bit. "But not too bad honestly. Its not a one-piece little girl piece. Or anything." She turned to look out the window. Not even considering how college men may be like.

"Hey long as it ain't horror flicks I am all for movies and goofing around. Talk about the good old times, or even, what you have going on. Like is there a lucky lady who has stored my brother's heart" She quirked a brow, trying to tease him. Not that jealous little girl she once was. least she didn't think she was. As a girl she was always wanting her big brother's attention, and remembers how she would get upset when he would brush her off or he would spend more time with his friends then her.

[Assistant]
Alex laughed lightly as she talked about her bathing suit. "I hope it's not too revealing, I don't know if I could handle seeing my sister in a tiny thong with some small string going up her ass." he stated, though it was fairly clear he was joking, or at least trying to. He knew in the back of his mind his sister wouldn't do something like that, but the power of their parent’s oppression caused him to do some rebelling when he got to college. He'd leveled out since then, but he could understand if his sister needed some rebelling.

"Lucky lady?" he repeated and then shook his head. "Nah, not really. Not for a lack of trying though." he added as his eyes remained forward, his body on auto pilot as the music droned around them. "I've been trying one of those apps, but it feels weird going on a date with some chick I don't even know. Then we must make this weird small talk and try to get to know each other in a small amount of time. I don't really like it." he added with a shrug.

"Although, it's nice for a hookup every now and again. Seems that college girls are a bit more... liberal" he struggled to find the right word. "Than high school. But, no, no lucky lady for me. What 'bout you? Mom and Dad let you date anyone? Or have you been doing it on the sly?" he grinned as he took a moment to glance over at her. "You still a virgin?" he asked, being rather blunt about the whole thing.

[User]
Ayva shrugged her shoulders. It was fairly revealing, compared to what their parents always got her. A little two-piece and all. She couldn't help smile as she looked over to him. "Well compared to the others it is. I mean bit more cleavage, a bit of cheek, and my mid-drift."She said it as if she didn't care if he knew her new little piece. She knew he wouldn't tell their parent. Considering he knew how they were. Least he had the freedom of escape of collage. She was still under their heavy hand.

"Mmhmm, yeah" She responded though frowned as he shook his head. He was a good looking wolf, why wouldn't he have a lady, any lady would be lucky to have him. Her grows furrow"Well they don't know what they are missing. Your a great guy" She stated, she might have been a bit bias, He was her brother after all, and she for most all her life looked up to him. He meant everything to her. So to her, it didn't make sense why he didn't have a lady. "I understand that those apps you never know what you will be getting. People can lie on those things. you don't not a crazy one"She mused "Big bro deserves the best." She smiled over at him.

She gave a small shake of her head. "No nothing for me either, think at this point, every guy is scared to even pursue. Dad has been quite... hard on any that expressed interest."She sighed, looking out the window. Though the question that followed surprised her. "Alex" She gave a small giggle of a squeal as she looked at him. "Yes... yes, I am.Still."She was blushing brightly, though thankful that the soft furs on her cheeks hiding the flush.

[Assistant]
Alex already knew the answer to the virginity question, after all he was sort of in the same boat. He wasn't allowed to date when he was living at home with their folks. Hell, he was barely allowed to date. When he got out into college he rebelled fairly hard as a Freshmen, but had leveled out since then. "Thanks" he murmured as she complimented him. "Unfortunately, being a great guy doesn't bring the ladies. Maybe I need to work out more" he added with a laugh. He didn't make any more comment about the bathing suit, but he was certainly curious as to how it would look, for some strange reason.

He nodded a bit. "Yeah, I'm not surprised Dad is chasing off any potential boyfriends." he stated as his eyes continued to monitor the road. "I would say if you played your cards right you could lose that virginity over spring break, but that's weird thinking about my sister banging some idiot college guy." he tried to make light of the situation. "Plus, most college guys are idiots and you're better than all that."

He sighed softly. "I know things are a bit tough at home, but once you get away it'll get better. I never understood why Mom and Dad were so strict. Something must have happened in their childhood that made them come down so hard on us. It's not like we were terrible kids or anything." he grunted in annoyance. "Hell, we probably missed out on a bunch of stuff normal teenagers are supposed to go through, ya know?"

They had complained at length in secret about their parents for years now, but now that Alex has been freed from their control it made it seem all that more irritation that it was still happening to his sister.

[User]
Ayva couldn't understand to why no ladies came after her brother, for a guy, and of canine lineage. He was attractive, with an amazing personality and such a big heart. They would know this if they would just get to know him and. She frowned a bit, as her eyes studied him. She shook her head. "They honestly are missing out, you shouldn't have to change yourself. If they cant accept you for who you are, then they don't deserve you." She stated simply even as he laughed it off as though he was joking. Making her quirk a brow.

She gave a small giggle as he said if she played her cards right. She held no intentions in one nightstands. She respected herself more then that. But she also understood that drinking will be done so thinks could possibly happen. "Perhaps, we shall see what the break holds for us."She laughed, adjusting a bit in her seat.

"Ohh I know we missed and are missing out. The things I have heard, the things I see. Tells me enough That I am especially"She closed her eyes as she let her head rest back, but the way her ears perked was enough to tell him that she was paying attention. "But it is only a matter of time till I am here bugging you again"She mused, she really was just waiting for her acceptance letter. She was quite advanced for her age. She she was encourage to apply.
