I waited out on the deck as we grew closer and closer to a particularly large island. I could see a string of smaller islands wrapping off into the distance, numbering seven in all just as I had been told. From the look of it, they were rather tropical. There was a stretch of sandy beach, waves, and even tropical trees. Compared to the day at the beach I had taken with the girls on the coast of Aberis near Kingsport, this was a far nicer place. No wonder it was popular despite being a dungeon.
Now that I thought about it, the more south we went, the hotter and more humid the weather had beco. I didn’t know the exact dinsions of the planet, but perhaps we were just North of the equator? As I pondered irrelevant questions, I was soon joined by Cici and an ill-looking Chance. Under the guise of scratching her behind the ear, sothing I had found that she liked in particular, I used so spells to help alleviate her nausea temporarily.
I didn’t know if it was an animalkin thing, but I found that they each liked to be touched in a very specific way. When it ca to Lydia, she didn’t like her ears being touched. I an, I touched them anyway, but it seed to be a weak spot that made her squirm. She preferred to be scratched right above her tail. Such a touch got her purring. Of course, the claws ca out shortly after that, but with White Mage, I usually could manage.
anwhile, when it ca to Miki, she didn’t like her tail being touched. I wondered if it had sothing to do with the spirit tails. Either way, she liked it when I traced a finger along the edge of her ears. She beca very affectionate and even nipped a few tis. Then there was Raissa, who seed to live for head pats. Even the word head pat could cause her tail to start wagging.
“Mmm…” I heard a low whining noise.
I turned to see Cici watching scratch Chance behind the ears. Chance had her eyes closed and a small smile on her face as she pushed her head against my hand. Cici had a frown and looked like she needed attention too. After living with a harem of won, I could tell when one girl was feeling left out. It was even more obvious when it ca to children. I adjusted my position so I was in between the two girls and then I began to pat Cici’s head while scratching Chance’s ear. Soon, her eyes were closed and she was smiling happily too. Maybe this was a girl thing that had nothing to do with animalkin at all?
“Mmm…” I heard another whining noise behind .
I looked back to see Anne standing there with nearly an identical look to Cici’s from early.
“Go scratch yourself!” I snapped at her, and put my back to her.
“Tsk! I can’t rebuke you for honoring the daughter properly, but isn’t the best daughter before you? It’s like eating ground beef when a steak is right in front of you!”
I decided it was better for my sanity to ignore her.
