Serena watched from a distance along with the other beastwon as Fay hid behind the oak tree with Jas. The young rabbit beastwoman confessed her feelings in hushed tones while they kept an eye out for others.
They were so distance away, so Serena couldn’t hear what exactly was being said. Which was fine by her. However, there was one thing she was curious about.
"Hey Wilma." Serena whispered at the other beastwoman, making Wilma shift towards her. "If Jas likes her why doesn’t he make his feelings clear?"
From what she rembered in the book and got from the original owner’s mories, beastwon rarely initiated courtships unless they really wanted a beastman a lot.
Typically, it was the beastn who proposed the courtship and the beastwoman who accepted or not. Which often led to them being mates. It made her curious as to why Fay was doing this and not Jas.
"He has." Wilma answered back in a low tone. "Well, more like shown his interest and was waiting for her to accept him or not... Beastn here aren’t as pushy as so other clans. Jas would have waited forever for her, so she had to make the next move. Problem was her head. She doesn’t believe she’s good enough for anyone."
"And Macy taking interest in him didn’t help matters." Emma sighed, overhearing them talking. "Fay thought he was better off with soone else. We had to do sothing."
So that explained why they were awfully pushy about her talking to Jas, even if they were also overprotective of the youngest in their group. They were trying to show her the truth.
"It was getting a bit much." Ria added dryly. "She needs to learn to be more honest about her wants."
"Give her ti, Ria." Grace joined in. "She’s not going to undo all that self-hatred in one night... We just have to push her onto the right path once in a while."
They suddenly heard a loud squeak and turned to find Fay running off into the village with her hands covering her face. Jas quickly followed after her until they disappeared into the night.
"Ah young love." Wilma murmured softly, placing a hand on her cheek. "I rember being so shy with my first mate too."
"You don’t think we should go after them..." Serena asked, a little concerned that they didn’t seem stressed about what they’d just seen.
Emma waved a hand. "They’ll be fine. Fay probably got overwheld knowing about Jas’ feelings. No point in running after them now. They’re best left alone."
"Unless you’d like to see how cubs are made." Ria joked, earning a light smack from Grace. She turned to the older beastwoman and murmured, "What? You know it’s going to happen eventually."
"I know..." Grace pursed her lips. "But does Fay even know... how to..."
"Don’t worry, I spoke to her already." Wilma answered calmly. "Told her everything she needs to know so it wouldn’t hurt. The males are no use talking to each other about these things. They believe giving each other tips will cause competition."
A collective eye roll went though the group and it didn’t take a genius to figure out what they were talking about. Sex. Serena, personally, wasn’t very experienced in it.
But the combination of her knowledge from reading in her past life, a handful of tis Mark and her slept together and the original owner’s mories gave her enough information about the activity.
"Let’s just hope Jas is a quick learner." Wilma chuckled. "I did also have a word with him, so he also knows what he’s doing."
"No wonder he gets so jumpy around you." Grace muttered. "You must’ve shaken him with your words."
"Soone had to." Wilma shrugged. "I’m just looking out for Fay here."
"Fair enough." Grace sighed. She then glanced over at the party around them. "Anyway, I think we should start heading back... And maybe tell Matthew, he’s not going to get Jas back."
Wilma winced at those words. "Guess I’m going to need to find a replacent instead."
A bunch of footsteps pounded on the short, grassy floor as she spoke, making Serena turn her head to the side to see who was approaching them. She spotted a few rabbit cubs, Kiro and two adult beastn walking over to them.
The younger beastman was holding a sleeping cub, maybe around three or four years old, with one arm, letting the cub rest on his shoulder while the older one was guiding the energetic cubs like a shepherd with sheep.
"Replacent for what?" The older beastman asked, overhearing Wilma’s words.
"For Jas. He’s ant to help serve food, but..." Wilma paused, glancing at the cubs running away. "Got busy with sothing else..."
Ria coughed to hide a laugh as Kiro ran over to Serena and introduced his new friends to her. She listened carefully to him, tuning out the conversation from the others.
That was until Wilma suddenly called out, "Serena, we’re going to go now. Matthew’s probably wondering where we are. Are you good heading back yourself or do you need help?"
"I’m good." Serena imdiately answered.
Today’s events were enough for so ti and she was glad to have a chance to get away. Once everyone said their goodbyes and Kiro promised to see his new friends tomorrow, the siblings headed back to the party alone in search of Theo.
They found him chilling on the outskirts with Rico and a few other rabbit beastn, chatting about sothing. When the beastn saw Serena and Kiro, they quickly said their goodbyes, giving them so ti alone.
Once they were gone, Serena took a seat on a laid out fur and asked, "What were you guys chatting about?"
"Just Rico introducing to so beastn." Theo shrugged, settling down next to her. "And stuff about the garden... How about you? et anyone?"
He said the last part with a gleam in his eyes, knowing full well Serena wasn’t interested. She gave him a pointed look at his words.
She then sighed, "Not really. We were too busy dealing with another romance."
One she hoped to any and all the gods out there that it worked out after what she’d been through tonight.
