D.E.M.O.N.S: Getting Summoned Weekly isn't so Bad

Of course, in retaliation Marigold was holding Lily\'s arm between her tits, but it was an acceptable loss. Lily just had to concentrate on other things… and not how nice it considering Marigold hadn\'t bothered with a bra. *Wait? Does she not bother with one to be indecent or because she\'s got regeneration to take care of an issues associated with not wearing one?

Wait do I even need to wear one now?* Lily ignored the small voice in her head trying to point out her tits where too small to need a bra. It was a liar anyway… especially after becoming a beastkin.

Lily shook her head to clear her thoughts as the came across march practising nearby. "Do you think it\'s worth interrupting March\'s practice to ask her questions? I\'m not sure this is really her area of expertise…" wondered Lily aloud.

"Eh… March is smarter then she seems so she might have some unique insight… but probably not. I think with just Blue and I you\'ve got the two main points. Sure I could be wrong… but if money is no object it\'s just a matter of which you want more, and Blue added in the idea of \'do you want it to be useful now or later\' which I think covers everything?" elaborated Marigold.

"You know I can hear you both right?" shouted March.

Lily gave March her best confused glare. "How?" shouted Lily back towards March. "Sure we weren\'t trying to hide what we were saying… but we\'re not all that close to you either…"

Lily was correct in that statement. March was carrying a large boulder around in circles. She\'d done enough laps to compact the sand around her and turn it into a circular path… more than ones. Remains of previous circles could be seen around the area. At the moment, March was heading away from the group and there was a good fifty metres between them.

"My hearing is pretty decent… and I need to train myself to pick up sounds over all the steam I generate. That and it\'s a quiet day and you were facing me so the sound carried," explained March.

"Right… well I do have some questions I guess… but first I want to know why you\'re carrying that boulder around on sand? Wouldn\'t you want better footing? I mean there\'s some dirt a few dozen metres away, and I can SEE that the boulder your carrying is from further up that way," said Lily.

"It\'s part of the challenge," stated March. "I don\'t just want to work out any one specific set of my muscles, I want to give my entire body a workout. Carrying a heavy weight around in circles while constantly adjusting my footing and ensuring the boulder can\'t fall is taxing on most of my body. Not everything sure, but for a temporary setup it\'s about as good as I can ask for,"

"Right… well here\'s what I wanted to ask…" Lily went on to explain the same thing she did to Blue… but March didn\'t have any additional insights. After Blue\'s point was explained, March found herself agreeing with it entirely. The question really seemed to be \'when do you want your power up\'. In the end, Lily wished March luck with her workout and started to head off.

"That was… disappointing," Lily voiced.

"I\'m not sure what you expected Lily. We established this wasn\'t March\'s wheelhouse and we\'ve covered the topic pretty well already. I doubt you really need all that much extra prodding to make up you\'re mind… and I didn\'t even get to flirt this time. Perhaps give me a few openings with whoever we run into next?" said Marigold with a grin.

"Well I wasn\'t exactly stopping you…" grumbled Lily.

"Fine I\'m just not interested in March. Sure I think muscles can be hot… but March takes it way too far for my tastes. Not that she\'s completely unattractive but you know…" Marigold left the statement hanging as she spun her hand around.

Lily groaned and thought on it for a few seconds before admitting… "Yeah I do understand. I mean, for me? I\'m definitely a leg girl. Thighs especially. Boobs are always nice but I\'m not obsessed with them… but even still? March is ALL muscle.

Her legs don\'t look comfortable to rest on, and there\'s NO squish at all. March\'s skin always seems so strained… and that\'s despite the fact she can puff up MORE with her steam…

"Then there\'s like… everything else. I feel like hugging March would be a lot like hugging a tree or a steel beam. It\'s not what I\'m looking for in a girlfriend. Sure she cuts an impressive figure, and imagine her looming over people and threatening them if they made inappropriate comments? That has some appeal… but that\'s about it,"

"Yeah exactly!" agreed Marigold. "Don\'t get me wrong, I\'d still totally be down for something if I thought I could convince March. I bet she could turn me into a real pretzel… but I know her type. If I asked her to bend me in half, like actually in half with bone damage and everything… she\'d refused. Despite being a hulking mountain of muscle?

I can\'t see her as anything but a gentle lover and I\'m really not into that. Plus… yeah her appearance is just a bit much for my taste. Not completely outside of my strike zone but certainly not a homerun,"

Lily was about to continue the conversation when she noticed some movement out of the corner of her eye. Flicking her ears Lily heard… nothing, or at least, nothing she couldn\'t distinguish from the other sounds nearby. Carefully trudging over Lily was surprised at what came into view.

Nixilei and Asteodia had managed to acquire a hammock somehow and the pair of them were curled up together asleep in the shade. It looked pretty cute. Nixilei was pulling Asteodia against her as tightly as possible, pinning both of the elf\'s hands to her side. Not that Asteodia seemed any less comfortable.

The elf had buried her face deep into Nixilei\'s neck, leaving one of her ears hovering just next to Nixilei\'s nose, flicking it occasionally.

"I wonder if Nixilei\'s going to take a nibble of that ear?" whispered Marigold.

"Wouldn\'t that hurt?" asked Lily.

"Maybe?" returned Marigold.

"Maybe?" hissed Lily.

"Look, yes, maybe. Did I not mention this before? Elf ears have a bunch of nerves in them, which makes them very sensitive organs… but not necessarily erogenous ones. Some people love having their ears played with. For them, it can be just as intimate as proper sex, if not more so… on other people it\'s super uncomfortable like having someone else poke around inside your nose.

"It really depends what side of the line your fall on.

Elves have a good mix… but most common is that it\'s pretty uncomfortable unless you\'re already in the mood… but sometimes it\'s always uncomfortable… and there\'s this one story… I\'ve never confirmed if it was real or not… but I\'ve heard rumours that some elves have ears so sensitive that they can\'t even go outside on a windy day or else they\'re cream their pants," snickered Marigold.

"You know what? I think that\'s a bit much for me. So I\'m just going to leave those two sleeping adorably and move on. Hopefully while finding a sufficiently interesting topic to distract you with," grumbled Lily.

"We could always talk about how hot Kat is?" offered Marigold.

"Look, even though I agree with you, I don\'t think I\'d like to talk about that. Heck, I haven\'t even talked too much about… lewder things with Kat herself. I certainly don\'t want to talk about them with someone else," said Lily as the started to sneak away from the area. Pointedly not adding the \'especially when that someone else is like you\' to the end of her sentence.

"Ah, but that\'s WHY you should talk to me about it. Kat won\'t take anything I say seriously and I\'m sure I\'ve got some advice for you tucked away in my brain…" offered Marigold.

"Perhaps… but as I said I\'m not sure I really want to talk about it. The next step for us is probably sleeping fully clothed together, at night, while I\'m in my human form… but it just feels like a bit step. The few times it\'s happened by coincidence I end up doing something… questionable with my hands," admitted Lily with a deep blush.

"See, that\'s your body telling your brain its ready! I feel like you could at least move up towards some heaving petting…" Marigold started explaining as she got closer to Lily so that she could occasionally whisper into the catgirl\'s ears.
