Soviet, Evaine and their mage arrive in the middle of the common room, we are all eating dinner. I'd been worried they wouldn't allow her to come back. As with everyone else she is confused when she arrives and looks around for a moment and then, thankfully she smiles, that is the best way to understand she is okay.

"How did it go with Bjorn, are you okay?" I ask Evaine as soon as she takes a step and looks our way.

"Everything went better than I thought possible, and Bjorn is taking the Viscount home with him," Evaine says getting even more embarrassed that Kae's worry and attention had her blushing. She decided to deflect the attention to her left and also be a gracious host. She turns to the side and indicates Miss Fiona.

"Miss Fiona leads the council, but helped me relax and decided to transport us herself."

"Not completely selfless, I wanted to come and see you with everything that is happening." Miss Fiona answers turning towards and indicating Kae.

"Are you hungry?" Katelyn asks and she says no, "Wine?"

"Yes, thank you." Miss Fiona sits at a table nearby and waves Kae over. She looked eager.

"Do you mind if I ask you some questions and check your skills?" Looking over at a dark brownish red haired woman, green eyes and a she is staring me up and down, I sit across from her.

'She can take Tremont with her.' Grayson says and think that's a great idea.

"Hmm, can I get you to take Tremont from here to Two Rivers?" I ask as that would prevent all kinds of issues.

"I think we can make that deal, can you do to me what you do to Evaine," Miss Fiona puts both hands palm up on the table. Taking them in my hands, I run through the same routine I use on Evaine and the others, but she's already a mage so I push a little harder as she already had mana flowing inside of her, and she pulls away. "What are you doing?" Looking up at her face she is flushed, I raise an eyebrow as she has a dangerous look on her face, then it hit me that I probably should have warned her before starting.

"Oh, yeah, that is a side effect of doing this, it never happened to me when my mentor did the same but seems to raise arousal when I do it, don't worry, I'm not going to jump across the table." I smile at her and she puts her hands back slowly. She squeezes a little tighter but does a good job of not letting it show like the others do. She squints at me and takes a deep breath.

Starting over, I push the mana into her over time filling her up and holding it for a few moments and letting it go. "Okay."

"Hmmm, she takes a sip of the wine Katelyn delivered while we were doing that. "I don't know if it is the sheer amount used or you just being different."

"Tell Kae, I'll see him tomorrow," Evaine says to Beau as she heads out. She glances at the two of us and I notice.

"Hey! Thanks for everything today, better than what anyone could have expected." I say to her and she smiles and ducks out the door.

Miss Fiona uses some of the mana added to hers and delves into him, "Let's see what we have here, plant and animal spells, shield and weapon enchants, detection, control, healing, nature fast travel, and divine blessings."You have added a few from the last delving, you stated you were a Ranger when it appears you are a Druid, you have shape change, shape water, control water, wall of water, watery sphere, and you are missing the big spells in every area.

"I've always been a Ranger, Druids pray to their gods," then it hits me, "Oh, I see things changed with being brought here via the goddess Ninhersag, this explains the changes, though I didn't know about most of what you named."

"You have so much power, yet you have no spells to use it on," Fiona says more to herself than to me.

"Thanks?" I say dryly, though as a Ranger I didn't have any real spells that were devastating other than the enchants on the bow, having Allo who worked with Grayson on keeping the adversaries attention so we could take them out at range.

"Oh, not how I meant it, if you are growing, druids have many skills to grow into. Is Evaine going to show the same growth?"

"I couldn't say for sure, but if she takes to this as she did in archery, she's probably going to be stronger than I am in the next year at her rate of doing things," I answer and that seemed to get her attention.

"When she is done here and if she wants, I'd like to take her on as a student and work with her for a while." Miss Fiona sips her wine, she does the same thing I do and will sit quietly until the other person starts talking again.

'Oh stop, you do it because you like their voices and don't want to blather on, she's doing it to get you to keep divulging secrets.' Grayson says and I know he also loves being surrounded by women's voices also.

"That would be up to her," I answer, her nice face firmed up a little at that remark, I'm not actually trying to hide anything from her, but, I'm not shipping Evaine off.

"Keep in touch with her, work with her and us as allies and she will be your liaison," Cinthia says using me, Miss Fiona sits back, we were both surprised.

"I can do that," Fiona smiles at me, "this is what you meant?"

I nod, "told you, I'm just the body, they just clue me in on the little things they need done."

"Your manner of speak is the opposite of every mage I know, they'd be posturing, is this a you thing or other world mannerism?

"They are friends of mine and wouldn't put up with me taking credit for what they do, it's a manners thing." I says moving her words around.

Fiona stares at me for a moment, "Thank you Kae, I'll take care of one of your issues for you, now. Katelyn, can you show me the way to Mertil's home?" Fiona had been holding my hand the entire time, with her delving skills she was probably using the touch to check for truth.

"Oh Gods, I've been waiting so long for this, follow me." Katelyn claps her hands and gives an evil giggle. "It's happening."

"I take it you are not a fan of his?" Fiona asks her as they walk out the door.

------------------

'Wake up!' I feel a slap to my chest? "What?"

"Come downstairs, we're all there, you should be there also." Katelyn is smashed drunk.

"Do you want to take my spot?" I ask looking up at her kneeling over me.

"Don't, I promised I wouldn't jump you, and bring you down, but you are cute and naked, no, come on." She pulls on my arm and I laugh at her struggles.

"Fine, give me a moment, go on, I'll be there shortly," I get dressed enough to head to the common room after using the pot. They are all drunk, laughing and leaning into each other.

"Kae!" Beau almost shouts.

"Shhhh, people are sleeping," I wave at Beau, "I'm right here."

"We're celbratin," Katelyn whispers really loud, pointing at Mertil, "not allowed to say why, she said so."

"Sounds like we should listen to her then, she is in charge," I answer looking at Mertil who doesn't look that upset.

"He said no," Mertil says to me. "Wasn't going to go, she told him he could go, with or without his belongings, he went without."

"Come with me."

"Kae, it's not..."

I walk a few tables away and sit, scoot back from the table, and wait.

"When she walks up, I pull her between my legs; "Sit."

The first few minutes she holds onto me, neither saying anything, the others whisper, but we can hear them. Then I feel her squeeze me harder and start shaking, so I hold her tighter.

"Why do I feel bad." She asks finally.

"Because he never had a choice, you never had a choice, all of this was planned out well before we were born, we just have to make the choices."

"What was my other choice?" She asks teary-eyed.

"Not sure, move with him, do in Twin Rivers you were doing here? You need time to come to grips with everything that is happening," truly whispering between us so the others couldn't hear, "take your time, we aren't going anywhere."

"Thanks," she gets up and I can smell her arousal and she'd have taken a few kisses as favorable consolation, but can also see she isn't ready for it at the moment and watch her walk back to her old seat.

"I'm going home, you don't have to come there tonight," she says to Beau as she hugs her and then Katelyn.

"Kae just got here." Katelyn semi-whispers to her.

"I got what I needed Kate, have fun, I'll see you in the morning." Mertil stops at the door to see me watch her, which is I think what she wanted as she smiled and left.

"What was that?" Katelyn asks me.

"She had a life with him, they went through a lot together, even if some of it wasn't pleasant, she needs to reconcile everything before moving on."

"You are an old soul trapped in a young, hard, body." Beau says and gets more seductive as she says it.

'If you don't fuck them, I ain't helping you anymore.' Gray says rather loudly and both shocks me for his unusual outburst and that it was him in a nutshell making me smile.

"She's going to be okay." Katelyn looks over at me looking more worried than she looks certain of what she's just said. "Right?"

"That's up to us, she's been put where she's supposed to be, we just have to make sure we don't waste it." I answer, "Thankfully you three always have each other."

"I'm going to sleep with her, she likes being held." Katelyn gets up.

"She said not to Kate." Beau says.

"She said you didn't have to, I'll behave. Wait," she walks into the kitchen and returns shortly chewing on some mint. "I'll be back for breakfast." She walks to the door, "maybe."

"Mertil does like being held," Beau says to me as the door shuts. "She didn't know you were doing the same to me that you were doing to Evaine."

"It probably isn't far enough along, sounds like it will just be me and you after a while if Evaine is off with Fiona.

"I'm interested in the healing aspects and also the way you deliver it is nice also." She is definitely pushing for some attention.

"I'll walk you home," standing up I take her hand and she wraps around my waist.

"Good, earlier was nice, but short," as we walk down around the corner there is nobody around until Jacob comes from around the back of Beau's house from the docks.

"Jacob? Do you need anything?" Beau asks without moving away from me, seems like she is no longer concerned about how things look, or too drunk to care at the moment.

"No, just checking to see if I can see the sentries from the dock area, and any blind spots where they can't see me, you two just keep doing what you were doing."

"Thanks, good idea," I say as we pause.

"No problem, I like the help they provide and I've been setting up some targets for them to practice on, some of my team are rather competitive. Anyway, I'll come by tomorrow evening." He chuckles after looking at Beau, walking down the main road.

Inside the door, I pause with my hand on the back of the chair that was still pulled out from the table. "Mertil loved this, her eye's were shining, her mouth open, breath heavy."

"I know, she, or we talked about what would happen if she came around, she said she couldn't, but if, if, it would be amazingly sexy for you to be our third."

"Katelyn?"

"Oh yeah, Forth." Beau laughs, she hasn't moved into the home yet.

"Strip here, or in your room?" I ask and she starts moving.

"Oh, okay then," Beau lifts her shirt off as she walks down the hall to her room. "You coming?" I stop in the doorway as she bends at the waist dropping the long skirt she had on, her darker hands from working her plants, the rest of her was perfection for her age, light copper.

"If we have to send ten trips out to get you some food, I'll do it, you have got to eat more, Beau."

"Yeah, yeah, we are, Katelyn's been making sure Mertil's been eating during her time in the Inn, I'm gaining some, look!" She pats her belly, it's tight, too tight for her..

"You have two weeks to give me more hips or else." I get my shirt and pants off in a rush. Stepping towards her.

"Can't you just make food now?" She asks and I stop.

'Heroes Feast babe,' Cinthia says, 'Goodberry isn't all that filling and Verdent sprout is more nuts and such, Create Food would create enough for the entire town, but it is not very tasty.'

"Cinthia, can you explain that to both of us?" I say outloud.

"Now? You want to do this now with your cock out and Beau horny since the table action in the kitchen earlier?" Cinthia says this through my mouth.

"We can wait a moment, they all look like they are starving while they feed me half their food." I answer.

"Fine, create food and water at your level is enough bland food to feed 25 people, Heroes great feast if shared and not worrying about the affects it gives, is enough for 12 to gorge on, so another 20 could eat comfortably considering the greens they're eating now."

"How? I have no idea, am I going to have to go get training for all of this?" I don't know how to cast real spells, most of mine are concentration or ability based.

"Mistress granted you these boons, this spell requires you to announce what you are going to do, who is granting you the blessing and to imagine it before them."

"So, Cinthia? Are you ever going to join us?" Beau's face blushes but she keeps eye contact.

"Eventually, it took all I had to spend time in the real with our man here, I need to conserve for the trip we're taking into the ruins, so I can bring his lovely ass back to you ladies." Cinthia answers.

"Hmmm, sure he can't cut it without you?" Beau asks and then laughs when I look her way shocked. "Just ribbing you, Hey Cinthia, does he always talk so much during sex?"

"I know right! He did it nervously as a virgin and it never," Cinthia starts and I cut her off. "What!? You talk just as much as I do?"

"Pound me harder, That's the spot, keep going baby, is not the same as discussing lavender soap prices in Sreport." Cinthia replies and Beau is laughing as she falls back on the bed.

I take a quick two steps forward and catch her legs, they went up when she landed back first on the bed and now were up my chest.

"That was quick." Beau says looking down at me.

Spending a moment so rub up and across her slit, making sure I don't slide in yet, she leans up and watches. "I enjoy my two playmates, but there is no substitute for a very nice cock, you teased me with your talk of food, put it in."

Pushing her legs back a little to line her up, "You want it like this and cum hard and quick or a nice slow buildup?"

"Hard and quick, I have an early morning," she arches her back she pushes to get me in a little, "get in there Kae." pushing to meet her we both moan at how good it feels, so tight with her hips up and it hits all the right spots for her. No talking this time, just effort in keeping up different rhythms until I hear her breath catching with a hitch and know to keep going.

"You don't have to be dominant with me Kae," she says with her head on my chest.

"Good, was going to let Mertil do that," I answer.

"I already do that for her, she likes it. I used to like to be dominated because there wasn't any security, I just wanted to feel safe with someone, healers don't make the best fighters, but you've proved I don't need to worry about that anymore."

"Really, that's good to hear, saving it for when your naughty though."

"My only worry now is you being okay, everything's shifted," Beau says playing with my chest.

"I should be okay," reaching behind her and grabbing her ass, pulling her a little tighter into me.

"Fiona is going to be a problem." Beau reaches down and grabs my limp dick. "She took Evaine around herself, and the way she was looking at the both of you, she said she wanted Evaine, and she looks at you like a meal to be had."

"I think you are right about that," squeezing her ass every time she squeezes me, we both chuckle after a few moments at the game picking up the pace.

"You don't play well with them, fucking Fiona into a friend should keep them from taking you away or worse," Beau lets go and draws on my stomach. "They didn't want to let you go, all three of us are going to be a problem for them."

"Two of us, Evaine is going to end up going with her." I answer and yawn.

"Cinthia? Can you let Kae sleep so we can talk? Beau asks sitting up a little.

"Done, what would you like to discuss?" Cinthia answers.

"What should we do when you go into the ruins? It's not safe, should we be nearby with Katelyn's team to help if he needs it?"

"The wolves will be there, focus on Mertil, get livestock and wheat seed for Saiden's farm, sell the oils and get your supplies for your ale."

"Is Evaine and Fiona joining us with Kae?"

"Unknown on Fiona, there are going to be quite a few transitory women, most in this town, a few outside, but you will always be his beta healing woman.

"Can't you wait until Evaine and I are like Kae, we could then heal and fight and do all the stuff he does?" Beau asks.

"That will take a while, Evaine only has the spark, and you are not there yet."

"Oh." Beau was hoping this would go a bit faster as everything has been happening that way.

"Spells will be out of your range for a while to come, basic healing is already at your disposal as blessings from the Mistress you were already a healer."

"Oh, Kae can show me in the morning?"

"No need, let's practice now, take Kae's hand, start off with a prayer to Ninhersag, a request for information down at Kae and his well being will come back, you then change the push with the request to restore or remove what you see. Go on."

Beau looks at Kae and 'Please Nin.'

"Mistress." Cinthia corrects the thought and Beau jumps, then starts over.

'Mistress, please guide me in helping Kae,' she could feel an invisible wave wash over Kae and come back showing only aches and pains from all of his recent activities.'

"The blessing only requires intent where your normal spells require a certain amount of power to complete, if you don't have the amount needed, they will fail and the power wasted until renewed."

"Renewed?"

"Meditation or sleeping normally restore your reserves, you can also get renewed from Kae as he has a lot to give. The way he does it for you is crazy hot." Cinthia's voice but having Kae's face say it, made Beau blush.

"Yeah, shockingly effective." Beau answers.

"Goodnight Beau," Cinthia says and fades back to her realm.

"Goodnight," Beau curls up against Kae.

Beau's feast had jellies, custards, fritters and stews, accompanied by platters of various cuts of cow, pig, and lamb, the ladies in the Hall were

Mine wasn't as big and had dishes from my world with a pot of hash with eggs, and flatter bread compared to their hard outer crust with soft insides, looking like balls of bread. It's not like we cooked over an open flame for hours, I could do this in the mornings to offset the amount brought in for the next few months.

"Triss! You're back on pie duty, this isn't even close." I hold up a slice on a plate, it was missing something she does and the crust was barely browned. Yvette and Jenna agreed with Triss giving the pie a scornful look and then going back to her conversation with Sabina.
