Birds Of A Feather 2
I still cant believe the little guy actually made it all the way here, Rowana muttered with awe. I know it has a habit of popping up out of nowhere, but this one was just Wow!
At this point Im honestly wondering if it even needs us to take care of it, Keira replied thoughtfully. I an its survived for four centuries before us, so probably not.
The topic of their conversation was quite obviously Minic. The aptly nad mini-mimic had licked each mber of its crew goodbye just before being picked up, after which the odd collection of sea creatures slinked off into the sunset. The animate jewelry box that was lucky beyond any mortal or divine comprehension was currently sitting on top of Keiras head, right between her feline ears. The spot had beco one of its favorite seats ever since its current owner grew her crimson hair out. It was voluminous and surprisingly fluffy, making it a great place for Minic to park its tiny bottom.
It would have preferred to snuggle against Rowanas soft breasts, but it couldnt do that while the elf was walking around. She and Keira were currently on their way back to the inn, with the latter occasionally reaching a hand up to stroke Minics lid-mounted gemstone. Sothing the little guy seed to appreciate if those delighted yip-yip sounds were any indication.
Any idea how it actually managed to do it? the elf asked curiously.
Not really. Not unless it sohow smuggled its way into your potion shipnt without us noticing and then mysteriously fell off the ship along with your crate.
As unlikely and full of holes as that theory sounded, it was nothing out of the ordinary for the thing that could turn up anywhere at any ti.
I suppose it doesnt really matter how it got here, Rowana finally gave up. Im just glad its safe and sound, though I do wish we could discipline it sohow.
Well, too late for that now. Wouldve liked if its new friends stuck around, myself. They were all so precious.
Quite literally, too. Many small sea creatures like those were considered endangered species. There were plenty of Druids and Monster Tars that would pay good coin in order to preserve them. Or, alternatively, there would be quite a few aristocrats who simply wanted a taste of these delicacies before they vanished for good. Boxxy personally never cared for seafood too much, but even it was curious if those green sea turtles tasted as good as the rumors said they did.
Ohh, I know, Rowana said in a sympathetic voice. Minic made so many cute and happy friends. They probably had a whale of a ti getting here, unlike us.
Keira raised an eyebrow with a cheeky smirk.
A whale of a ti, huh?
Oh, no.
I sea what you did there, Row-ana.
Keira, could you not?
What? Am I making waves or sothing?
You know I cant stand it when you get like this.
Water you talking about? Im just going with the flow.
Yip?
The elf raised her hands as if giving up and picked up the pace.
Im going back to the inn alone.
Co on, no need to be so salty.
Stop following !
Nonsense, I cant just leave my wharf to be all by herself!
You keep this up, and I wont be your anything-to-be!
Even if you say that, youll always be my gull-friend.
Yip yip!
Great, now look what you did! Minics doing it, too!
Be reasonable, its not like its doing it on porpoise.
Honestly, when did you even find the ti to think up all this stuff?!
Just now. While we were cod-dling.
Wow, seriously?
Sorry, my mind cos up with all kinds of weird ship if I let it wander.
Yeep yeeep!
Rowana took a few more deep breaths as she reminded herself over and over that this was still the woman she loved. Her fondness for terrible puns was just another of those quirks that made every day spent living with her feel like an adventure in and of itself. Even if it was bloody insufferable at tis, it was still lively and exciting in its own way. Plus, the make-up sex afterwards was always amazing, so there was that too.
Youre lucky youre so damn cute, the elf finally said. Otherwise I dont think Id be able to stand you as well as I do.
In that case you ought to navigate yourself to a sea-t, because Im not quite fin-ished with my current batch of manatee-rial.
AAAAAARGH!
Having finally lost it, Rowana stomped off in a random direction while visibly shaking in anger.
Youre sleeping on the floor tonight! she shouted over her shoulder.
Thats okay, Ill gladly accept my pun-ishnt!
Having reached pun overload, the platinum blonde elf could do nothing but half-groan half-scream in frustration. Keira wouldve kept following and bugging her, but the shit-eating grin on her face showed that her mission had already been accomplished with no regrets. She then reached up and held her loosely clenched fist in front of Minic, prompting the tiny creature to boop it with one of its stubby legs.
Good work.
Yip.
