Reila asked Chimera out with her not for any logical reason, very simply to keep time with him as much as she felt she could or at least enough not to be so weird. It was no secret between the two of them about liking each other's company even if it was just the travel and the work. They liked being around each other.

She took him out to the cathedral very simply because she wanted her own supplies to make her own wine. She felt bad every time she took a bottle of hallowed wine from the stores regardless of how often or how little everyone else used them. She was quite the drinker herself if only a little to feel relaxed and buzzed. Sometimes more. Chimera should have noticed at least. Luckily she wasn't so belligerent.

She wandered the cathedral, stretching her slender body up on the vines to reach the grapes overhead and taking tastes of the different colors or ripeness. She'd probably take a couple different ones to try. Then adding some of the sugar crystals they had found behind the falls would give her some inspiration too.

"Reila"

As always, when Reila invited him out on a little adventure, Chimera readily agreed. She'd suggested going to the cathedral so that she could collect grapes, wanting to craft her own wine. He didn't drink, but many did. Perhaps it would be nice to trade wine back and forth with The Hallows or at least just have their own supply. So, he was willing to pull the cart full of baskets out across Auster for the woman.

Pulling the cart into the space of vines and grapes, Chimera unhitched himself and gave a nice, long stretch, claws digging into the ground as he did so. After that, he simply followed along beside the bob-tailed woman, a set of baskets slung over his back like some sort of pack mule. They moved along in comfortable silence. Neither of them were afraid to speak, but they also didn't need to.

"Chimera Klein"

Reila wandered the cathedral but really in a way she had before. She had been here to collect grapes for the ship before, but having Chimera here to help her was like an entirely new experience. She was experienced in the way she handled the bundles of grapes and placed them in the baskets that Chimera held and provided for her. But here with him, it was completely different.

After harvesting a few heads with Chimera taking short trips back to the cart with full baskets, Reila's stretched form reached up above her into the bundle of sweet green grapes before she would go to break off the stem. For now, the grape that was punctured through her claw was dropped down to Chimera though still while her body was flexed upwards in the vines. The look in her eyes combined with a little smirk on her maw was not an expression that could have been new to Chimera. She was suggestive and tempting in the way she looked down at him. If he didn't take the grape she offered him, that was fine. She'd take it off her claw for herself. Either way, she'd go back to harvesting the different kind of grapes on the vines.

"Reila"

He continued to follow Reila about, unloading baskets of grapes here and there as necessary. They were bringing in a pretty good haul. Already he was wondering where she might crush all of these grapes and had a bit of an idea. In one of the empty buildings was a strange, oval shaped vessel. It was white in color and one edge of the giant, rounded dish had a drain-like hole. If they stopped up that drain and put a little strainer in there, they could drain off the juice with ease.

As Reila stood up to grab a bunch of grapes, she extended one paw down to him, a grape impaled upon one pale claw. He didn't hesitate and took the grape from the woman, his tongue dragging over her pads as he did so. The fruit was sweet and juicy. Though he didn't like wine, he imagined that grapes like these might produce a very good tasting drink.

"Chimera Klein"

Reila hummed as Chimera took her offering and then plucked a few more bundles of grapes for his basket before thinking that would be enough. "I think that's good to start. See which I like more." She was obviously open to crafting for the rest of her pack mates or for trade, but she just wouldn't think of her ability so highly. She was doing this for herself but she was too kind not to do it for more.

Double checking the cart was good and ready to transport, Reila looked up to Chimera, "I didn't plan on stopping anywhere else on the way home." She announced, though not disappointed. She knew there would be more times to be with Chimera. She could admit the bit of loneliness that was growing on her but she wasn't so selfish to act out from that. She was fine with life just as it was, the emotions that were hidden underneath could keep being held back. She was ready to head home with Chimera now and she'd be ready for their next outing.

"Reila"

Soon enough Reila informed him that she had all of the grapes necessary for her crafting. It hadn't taken long at all to collect all of the grapes and it felt like they'd just arrived. He wasn't quite ready to walk back yet, so rather than slide into the harness, the two-toned giant slid down to lay upon the cool grass beside the cart. "A rest first, then we can return," he informed her, patting the grass beside him with one big, black toed paw.

The tri-colored woman didn't have any other stops to make on their way back and Chimera nodded. He wouldn't have minded stopping if she needed to. Might as well not waste a trip. Heading straight back was fine as well. He enjoyed their time together either way.

The brute's speckled nostrils flared and his brow drew together. "It's going to rain," he informed her. A mere second later, the far off rumble of thunder confirmed his suspicions. Mismatched eyes met blue and he asked, "Would you like to set up the tent or just rest under the cart and hope that it's nothing but a quick shower?" They always brought the tent just in case.

"Chimera Klein"

Reila easily and happily joined beside Chimera as he motioned, still with that familiar smile on her maw. It had been sometime and even a little bump in the road but she was comfortable with Chimera. She had been for a while. He really had allowed her to grow in her own way and time and it seemed she may have been attaching to him. She wouldn’t know for sure right now, in fact she wouldn’t even notice. She did like to act as if their relationship was completely calm and usual. And it was, save from the thoughts that pulled at her mind half the time.

With the scent of rain in the air and the distant sound of thunder, it seemed this area of Auster would be refreshed from the dry season. How else would the grapevines thrive so well. "We can pitch a tent for the two of us." Reila suggested with a smirk before hopping up under the tarp of the cart and pushing out the tent they had stored. She wasn’t planning on staying overnight and they still had some time, but the unknowns of the storm was sure to grasp them. She hadn’t brought the herbs she needed for sleep but... she felt like maybe the nightmares had gotten better and maybe she wouldn’t struggle in Chimera’s arms who she had grown to care for. Once they set the tent up the gentle rain started to fall. She entered the tent inviting Chimera beside her this time with a paw raised in the air like it was an easy fit for him there.

"Reila"

Reila agreed to pitch a tent and together the two erected it. Once the frame was in place and the oiled skin over top was secured, Chimera made sure that their items in the cart wouldn't get damaged if the winds picked up or the rain became torrential. Just as he finished, the rain began to fall, the droplets creating a steady hiss as they struck the plethora of leaves overhead.

Moving towards the tent, Chimera smirked as he noted Reila laying inside with one foreleg lifted as though it was her turn to spoon him. The brute padded into the tent, turned, and lay down behind her, pulling her back into his embrace instead with her back against his stomach. There was no telling how long they'd be here, so he did his best to get comfortable.

Outside the thunder rumbled continuously and the rain came down harder and harder. Outside, the grape vines disappeared behind a white sheet of rain. One paw stretched out, swiping at a little toggle and another skin fell into place, trapping the pair in a much darker space as their entrance was cut off. Though the storm raged, Chimera found it to be rather soothing. The brute placed his cheek down flat upon the ground beneath them and his top foreleg draped over the small woman. He was content to stay like this until they could move on. Little did he know, they were going to be stuck there til morning.

"Speech"

The rain outside turned into a downpour as the two slid into the tent. Chimera came to her as she asked but in his own way which was completely fine. She didn't really have any expectations. She was completely fluid to his touch as he laid behind her and pulled her in. This wasn't new to her, but she felt like it was. Chimera made her feel that way, it wasn't like the masters or the buyers.

She felt like she fit right here with him. She barely even moved to make herself comfortable, only a little as he closed the opening of the tent. Her eyes adjusted what they could to the darkness around them, but she didn't need to see. She could feel all of Chimera around her. Her paw reached up from behind his elbow and curled around his front leg while her head and the rest of her relaxed back into him. It was too early to go to sleep, but she was happy resting just like this with him.

"Reila"

The pair settled easily together, laying and listening to the rain in the dark of the tent. Reila curled her foreleg over his and Chimera liked the slightly possessive act. The giant man lowered his muzzle to the back of the small fae's head, snuffling in the fur behind her ears, absorbing the scent of her. Eventually Chimera's mouth parted and his tongue pulled over one pale ear. Lifting his head, the two-toned brute nibbled down the side of Reila's fawn and grey neck. There was no denying the attraction between him and all the hours spent together, denying and holding himself back was taking its toll.

He wouldn't have sex with her. Not until she was sure and took the initiative. That didn't mean that he couldn't touch her though. Teeth continued to pull gently through her fur and his foreleg slid out from under her own to trail down the length of the woman's ribcage. Claws pulled lightly over the soft, sensitive flesh between rib and thigh. It was easy to manipulate such a small fae and the man used his big paw to press her even more tightly against his underside. "No matter what you may discover while we're apart," Chimera spoke in low, velvety tones. "know that I thoroughly enjoy our time together." Both his actions and the arousal nestled between his thighs and against the base of her tail proved that.

"Speech"

She was completely at Chimera's will, there was no hesitation or tension in her as he wrapped around her and started nuzzling and licking through her fur. Maybe it was reminiscent of her life prior, she had learned not to fight what was given to her. But really this was different. Maybe Chimera could tell or maybe he didn't know at all. All that was right on the surface was that she liked what Chimera did to her. Now, before, and maybe sometime soon in the future. It seemed like the desire between them would just keep growing until it happened. There was no problem with that.

It started subtly at first. She was still until he started moving down behind her ear where she gently pushed herself into him and rolled her neck just enough to give him access to her. Her eyes closed as the moment became closely intimate to her. She hummed as Chimera trailed lower and his paw waved over her side where she kept her own paw attached to his even as it went out of reach her paw pads pulled lightly over the skin of his leg. Her breath became a little sharp at times showing just that bit of how Chimera made her feel.

Reila settled back into him as he pulled her tighter, and feeling him up against her was turning her on more than he could know. She was very reserved about it, she wasn't wild. Her burning eyes opened in slits while her cheek turned to face him as he spoke. Having his own confirmation that he liked being being with her was relieving in a way but she didn't have any indication that he didn't. Just that short amount of time after his queen showed he concern about their time together but that was over and done with. She liked to act innocent, like there was nothing going on between them. But the more time they spent together, the more Reila was fantasizing for herself. Maybe the more they built, the more she wouldn't worry about not liking being with Chimera sexually. It was a difficult risk to grasp when they were like this. She gently rolled her body into his, his paw falling into the inside of her thighs and closer to those more sensitive areas but that wasn't her intention at all. Instead she reached up to kiss him, still under his every whim.

"Reila"

Chimera thoroughly enjoyed the way that Reila reaction to his touches. Her little breaths and hums served to further excite the man and there was no way that he was stopping. Not unless she asked. By the way that she moved, allowing him optimum space upon her neck to nibble and lick, he doubted she'd do so. Reila hummed in pleasure and Chimera growled in return, giving her supple frame another little squeeze with one big paw.

As Reila pressed into him, Chimera gave the woman a gentle nip to the side of her throat. Such a tease. His paw continued to trail along and when she rolled in his grasp to kiss him, the man's pads ghosted over the most intimate parts of her. It had been unintentional, but he didn't mind it. As the pair kissed, he doubted that she minded either. That same paw pulled back up the woman's body to wrap around her shoulders, once again pressing her into him. Lips and tongues danced with one another and Chimera's arousal was growing by the minute. Things were getting dangerous.

Willpower. He needed to find his willpower. She was making it so, so hard, however. Pulling his mouth from hers just enough to speak, the black and white giant growled low, "I need to stop," he informed her, his paw stroking her back and shoulders. In the dark, the brutes lips pulled back in a grin. "You just make it so hard," he spoke through that grin. Pun intended.

"Speech"

Reila never purposely used the skills she learned prior to her life here in Fenmyre, but they were there as she kissed Chimera. He may have well known the things she had done before as well as the way she could completely give herself over to him. For his own place in the trade, and due to a couple of his own queens. He could get at least that glimpse into what she was capable of. Reila was more than just a submissive slave though.

She stayed just at the pace he wanted whether that was slow or faster, but maybe he could feel the sense of her own eagerness in her movements. Honestly she was holding back quite a bit herself. Her body waved very gently in his grasp just on that bit of excitement she felt as they went deeper into their kiss. But it seemed to be cut too short for her liking.

She didn't show her disappointment though, her smile rising along with Chimera's as she looked up at his own face. Her tempting smirk wasn't anything new to him but in the nature she actually got to experience with him maybe it was. "Do I?" She questioned playfully as her paw trailed down the length of his chest and south from there. She was in fact quite the tease, she wouldn't venture too low as much as she wanted to. She huffed in a quiet chuckle as her daring eyes still looked up towards him. Regardless of Chimera saying he needed to stop, Reila still pushed forward with another, more heated kiss. Her body turning just slightly more into him as her claws almost clung to him in a needy fashion. She knew where she was playing. She wouldn't drag it out for long though, instead pulling her maw back from his. The look on her face knew exactly what she was doing to him, how could she not? There was more than one indicator. Without saying anything else, she went to spin around between his paws back to her spine against his chest, "Goodnight my King." She mustered in a near sarcastic tone. Surely he may have had a good sleep tonight though.

"Reila"

Reila was a minx. She knew exactly what she was doing and the Fenmyrian King allowed her to embrace that newfound independence. Though she'd lived a life bringing pleasure to others, Chimera didn't think for one moment that she was putting on an act for him. He believed that this was truly Reila as she was meant to be and it spoke volumes as to just how comfortable she was when in his presence.

The woman played with him, acting as though she was in disbelief that she was making things difficult. Chimera growled low at her, that growl only increasing as she joined their mouths again. And then, just as quickly as she had kissed him, she turned away, placing her back against his stomach once more. He didn't get angry about it, nor did he chastise her for the snarky, almost mocking words that she spoke. A little teasing was okay in private, he only hoped she wouldn't make such mistakes in front of others.

One big paw rested upon the woman's ribcage again, but he had some teasing of his own to do. The brutes tail curled, snaking between the fae's hind legs and settling against her womanly bits. He gave it a gentle wag and then gave his body a little wiggle, feigning getting comfortable. "Goodnight, Reila."

"Speech"

As much as Reila was working up Chimera, he was doing the same to her. His deep manly, maybe even possessive growls did something to her. In her own accord she was hot to the core. Maybe more of a simmer, she was actually trying to hold off and keep him hungry for more. Or get him so bothered that he couldn't wait any longer. She loved the thought of it.

With his tail wiggling between her thighs, her own bob tightened slightly but not in a way to show him to back off. Her paw carefully wrapped around his leg that was under her like a pillow and she hummed a little in response before settling back into him. "Can you make it back to your queens?" She teased speaking quietly still through her closed eyes like she was ready to go to sleep. "I don't mind getting a little dirty, Chimera." She wasn't suggesting any action between them but she certainly didn't mind a surprise in the middle of the night when they were both dreaming, or maybe if he chose to rub up against her to relieve himself either. Consciously or not. She couldn't help but wonder if that would even be enough for him. She smirked at her own bad thoughts.

"Reila"

The horrendously delightful woman continued her teasing and Chimera growled again, this time placing a little nip to the back of her neck. He could make it back to his queens. He could also control his urges if he decided that he wanted to. She was very enticing with her words and actions, but he could shut it all down if he decided to. She had been the one to express her uncertainty. She had been the hesitant one. By denying her, he was fulfilling her wishes. Chimera wouldn't risk having the woman become uncomfortable around him, so he wouldn't sleep with her until she was absolutely certain.

"I don't do anything half way," he informed her, his paw pressing her body back against his so she could feel every inch of the hardness that she was responsible for. His tail moved between her thighs yet again, dragging against the most intimate parts of the woman. "You're dirty enough as it is," he informed her. There would be no nighttime rubbing. He didn't need to masturbate or anything of the sort. Waiting would only make things better in the end. With one final pull of his tail between Reila's thighs, Chimera released his hold upon her and rolled over, placing his back against her own. He stretched out, comfortable as ever and a sigh of content pulled from him. "Goodnight, Reila."

"Speech"
