Titus stepped up to and then pressed his palm up against my tummy next and pushed dark blue mana into my wombs. Then Milo added his green mana, and Oliver added his yellow mana. Lastly, Sam approached with a half grin and pressed his large hand on my womb, nearly covering my whole waist at the sa ti. When his hand glowed royal blue, a dark blue with a hint of purple, the others gasped.
"Sam, you’re already at the high end of blue? Why didn’t you say anything?" said Oliver.
Sam shrugged his large shoulders. "It was never important before, but now I can use my mana to keep my family safe and make sure our hatchlings are strong," Sam said and then gave a gorgeous smile that lit up his already devastatingly handso face.
Having already known about his aura, I just smiled at him and pulled him down for a kiss. "Thank you."
Then I looked around at the others, "Thank you all of you. I’m glad that you’ve all accepted them as your own, and this won’t cause any issues within our family."
After we packed up, the guys moved a bit slower since Sam insisted on carrying instead of having ride on his back. His back was already incredibly comfortable in his sheep form, but all the males were worried about becoming jostled. The other males insisted on travelling in their beast forms and were on high alert. Even Oliver was in his chipmunk form, which was about the size of a basketball, so that he could easily climb up trees and scout ahead. He was by far the smallest male, even quite a bit smaller than my Fluffy. He’s a sweetheart, though, even though his sensitive personality is a bit aggravating to ; it makes sense given his past. I know I have issues that I need to work through, too. I’ll have to make sure that my babies are born with an abundance of mana to make sure that even if I have a chipmunk baby, they’ll be strong and know they’re loved.
We travelled for what felt like forever and started to fall asleep. My head bobbed to the side, and Sam placed a kiss on my forehead. "You get so rest, everything’s fine here," Sam said softly, and I felt my eyes beco heavy, and I dozed off.
By the ti I woke up, I found myself in a large wooden cabin with a receptionist behind a wooden counter, snacking on...a piece of bamboo. The receptionist was a curvy and adorable woman with thick black hair just past her shoulders. She had large dark purple eyes that were nearly black, surrounded by thick black lashes. On the top of her head, she had black bear ears, cute round cheeks, and large, round black rimd glasses on her face. She had ample cleavage showing and a cute heart-shaped birthmark on her right boob. She was wearing short shorts and a black and white top. She set down her snack and adjusted her eyeglasses on her face as we approached.
"Hi there! Are you here for the annual mating dance festival? I’m Sugar, and I’m your friendly receptionist. Do you already have a room reserved? Please tell you do," she said while looking down at .
I felt awkward about still being held, so I patted Sam’s arm, and he gently set down. "Hi, it’s nice to et you!" I said, and it was. It was so refreshing to et a nice woman again. Especially after Tonya just disappeared. I thought that when I t up with the guys, she’d be there too, but she wasn’t.
"We don’t have a reservation. Are there any rooms available?"
"Oh dear, we don’t." She nibbled her bottom lip. "You probably won’t be able to find another available room, too. It’s the annual flamingo dancing festival and shouldn’t be missed. They’re absolutely gorgeous! I ca to see it a few seasons ago, and I enjoyed myself so much that I ended up staying. I was able to get a job here, and they allow free services for employees, so I seriously lucked out. It shouldn’t be missed." She nibbled on her lower lip again. "You know, if you wanted, you could look at a house to buy. There are a couple of houses near mine that the village elders had built to expand the village. The only rule is that whoever buys the houses has to be a female of breeding age and having a beautiful female with so strong mates already would definitely be a bonus. I wouldn’t mind having a new neighbor. I see that you appreciate cute and pretty males, too. If you decide to stay, I could show you a great viewing spot!"
I couldn’t help letting a giggle out at her enthusiasm, and then I grinned. "I wouldn’t mind checking them out." I looked at the guys, "What do you guys think?"
They each had indulgent smiles on their faces. "I don’t mind, whatever you want, Sweetheart," said Titus, while the other guys nodded in agreent.
"So yeah, we’ll check them out. Who should I talk with about checking them out?"
Sugar stood up abruptly. "Well, I could do that. I know where they’re at, and if you decide that you want to buy one, I could take you to et one of the elders to go through the sale."
"But aren’t you working right now?" I said.
"Don’t worry about it, I’ll have the Beansprout man the desk. Beansprout!"
From around the doorway to another room further in, a tall male with giraffe spots and those bumps on the top of his head and a cute skinny tail ca around the corner. He walked over with a friendly smile on his face.
"Hi, my na is Hugh, not Beansprout; it’s nice to et you. Don’t mind, Sugar, we’re childhood friends."
"Yeah, we’re childhood friends. He’s not bad. I’m going to take this female, actually, what’s even your na?"
"Oh! Silly of not to rember to say, I’m Perla. It’s nice to et both of you."
"Oh, what a pretty na. I’m going to take Perla to check out the available new houses. We might be neighbors! You don’t get any ideas, though, Beansprout, she’s got taste in males and won’t want a skinny Beansprout with two left feet."
I pinched my lips together, trying not to chuckle at the two’s banter.
"I wasn’t going to try. I already have a female that I like," Hugh said with an exasperated sigh. "No offense intended, you’re very pretty."
I gave him a small smile and looked between them, especially the obvious affection in his eyes when he looked at Sugar and her oblivious gaze. They were adorable! I was rooting for him.
"I can take over here while you’re gone," he said.
"Thanks a bunch!" Sugar said and gave him a quick hug before bouncing off around the desk and grabbing a black bag with a picture of a panda on it. She caught looking at her bag. "It was a gift from Beansprout last Festness, which also coincides with the dancing festival, which is the best thing ever! I wouldn’t normally carry a bag that has my beastkin type on it. Is that a little weird?"
"It’s cute, and it’s sweet that he got it for you. Plus, pandas are adorable," I said. "So you and he? Are you two an item?"
"Who? Beansprout? Not even close, he’s just my friend. We grew up next to each other, and when I decided to co to this festival twelve seasons ago, he followed after . Flamingo beastkin are really sothing, he said that he just wasn’t able to find anyone that he wanted to be mated with. There is a flamingo beastkin female that I’ve beco friends with. She lives near my ho."
Poor Hugh, he had a lot of work to do before she would realize his love for her. "I hope you like it here. It’d be nice to make another friend who isn’t a flamingo. I an, I love them, truly I do, but it’s nice to talk with soone who isn’t a flamingo once in a while. What do you do for fun? You know, when you aren’t mating because that’s obviously fun, right?"
"You don’t have any mates?" I said.
Her face flushed. "I...do not. Was I that obvious? I was, wasn’t I? That’s embarrassing. It’s not that I haven’t been offered before; it’s just that the males who approach are all serious creeps. I’m so sort of creep bait. None of the guys who I have any interest in ever look my way. The guys who are interested in , either want because they think that my being plump is a sign that I’ll give birth to large and healthy eggs, or they’re perverts who have a thing for big butts and are graphically vocal about their interest to the point that it makes feel like I might pass out must from listening to their filth. They think I’m willing to listen to their nonsense just because I’m a curvier female than they’re used to. Little do they know that almost all of my species are built this way. They’ve never even seen a panda beastkin before, but they don’t bother asking. Jerks."
"I think it’s fine to wait until you find the right mate to settle down with. There isn’t any rush as long as you don’t have to worry about the snatching ritual." I said.
"Ohh...you’re from one of those villages. Yeah, this village doesn’t participate in the snatching ritual because there’s no need to with the constant flow of tourists who co through here and the influx of business that that brings along with all of the spa services and the hot springs. It’s a good fit for , who hasn’t settled down yet, though my mom keeps on trying to set up with surprise dates."
"Blind dates?" I said.
She tilted her head to the side in confusion. "Blind? Why would my mom have to set up with a blind date? I know my looks aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I don’t think I’m that bad."
"No! No, that’s not what I ant. It’s a saying from where I co from. Blind dates are only dates that you go on without having seen your date before."
"Oh, well, the only ti I’ve seen my date before is when my mom sends drawings of males in the post. They usually don’t look like the drawings that I’m given, so it’s practically a blind date every ti."
I looked back at my n who were following us at a distance to give us a semblance of privacy and thought to myself that I’d really lucked out.
