I'm sorry for shitting your thread up. If it makes you feel better, I might just get banned for it.
>>161689Shitposting, in MY DnD thread? BANNED!
It's hilarious, nice job anon >>161685Erich curses, and Helder says something in a lower tone of voice. Amber is not close enough to either to hear them. At least for the moment, the threat seems to have passed.
>>161691Has the train started moving? If it has, those officers will still be onboard for sure.
>>161692No. The train is still at the platform. It is hard to tell if they train is delayed, or on time, but Amber has been on the train for some minutes already.
>>161693That's better news than if they set off already, at least. If they're fortunate the police will leave after their sweep and they can be on their way.
>>161694And.... The police show up from behind, from the direction they were last seen leaving.
>>161695Eep! Amber acts natural, but tries to see if they have Helm in tow.
>>161696Helm is not visible. As they are at the end of the car it isn't clear he'd be particularly visible anyways. The police slowly move down the car.
>>161697Well, this is very disturbing. Amber can commiserate with Helm for trying to run off, though her better sense prevails and she tries to appear nonplussed and inconspicuous.
>>161663And so, Silver lays down with the Kirin. Silver's chest and belly rub up against her scales, which while not as hard as metal, are far from completely soft to the touch. He can feel her relatively short back fur, and especially her mane, much of which remains between their bodies. Khoi wraps her tail around under her body, but otherwise remains still and silent.
>>161698Roll, wisdom modifier
>>161700The cook remains still, but the two police officers slowly move down the car, looking around. They walk right past Amber, coming from behind
At the end of the car, in front of Amber, a griffin in fedora and beige woolen trench coat stands in the doorway.
>>161701Evidently they
are important enough for the secret police to conduct a search. Amber knew that the railways were a risky prospect because they were too obvious to pass up. Yet the poor road network of Katerin would not have worked either, unless if there was some unknown route going through the northern swamp. Perhaps risking those dangers would have been preferable.
>>161702It's a white female griffin sitting in front of Amber whom she does not know, who mutters the words,
"Inquisition."
>>161703Amber suspects the word should worry her, but she does not reply. Anything you can do or say might mark you as a target.
>>161699Perhaps this is the most bodily contact she has ever experienced before. Perhaps not. What is known is that Khoi can feel every contour of Silver's body, even under all of that floof. She doesn't feel his "Sword", thankfully. Perhaps she feels his sheath, but that's an unavoidable fact of biology that she may not even know anything about. Silver seems surprisingly calm, perhaps he even is a calming, protective influence for the small kirin. Or not, who knows?
>>161705For all of her protests otherwise, there is little doubt that Khoi is, or was, afraid of Silver, or at least the situation. She takes two full minutes to ease up, and finally adjust to her situation. Even as she breathes more naturally, she remains curled up in a bal, with her back bent against Silver.
>>161706For her benefit, Silver doesn't advance any farther, or try to push the envelope. He just stays there, holding and laying down with his kirin as she very slowly becomes acclimated to the close contact.
"Do not worry so much, Khoi. I will not hurt you, nor will I dishonor you. This is not so bad, is it?"
>>161707Like acclimating to cool water
“No…” she meekly answers. She slowly eases up, straight into her body somewhat. Perhaps the biggest sign that she’s adjusted comes when she lets her tail move and hang out behind her.
>>161708This is nice, just being here with his kirin. Especially once she starts to relax. Silver continues to not make any threatening moves towards his kirin in an attempt to continue to prove to her that he means no harm.
"There, see? It is just spending time being close to each other. Did you know about all of this before coming here? Kissing, snuggling, cuddling?"
>>161709“No….” She answers. She’s not his
yet after all.
>>161710Soon enough she will be. Soon enough...
"It is good way for couples to be close and intimate without sex. And, if you do not mind me saying, you seem to like it."
>>161711“Eh heh…” she simply smiles awkwardly.
>>161714Silver smiles at Khoi. He continues to cuddle his kirin and enjoy her soft, warm presence. He gives her a slight squeeze around her midsection.
"I hope you had good night with me. I really enjoyed it."
>>161715squeekyHer eyes widen at the squeeze, almost like a stress doll,
“This was… not bad…” she snswers
>>161716Silver lays his head down across her neck.
"'Not bad'?"
>>161717Silver lays his head on her, pressing the little Kirin further into his embrace.
“No….”
>>161718The unicorn looks over at his kirin's face.
"Are you still scared, Khoi? Worried?"
>>161719“”Sort of… it’s… new to me…”
>>161720"We can stop for now if you want. All of this is for you, so you get say in what happens."
>>161721“It’s okay…” she says, still in the fluffy unicorn’s grasp.
>>161722The smile on Silver's face gives away his happiness at her answer.
"I just worry. Like you said, all of this is new to you. I want this to be good experience, one you look forward to again in future."
>>161723“Maybe… I am still considering things.”
>>161724"Could I hear what you are considering?"
>>161725“You as a husband.” She answers directly.
>>161726"And what do you think so far?"
>>161727“You are more sincere than I thought you were.” She answers
“But I still have reservations.”
>>161729“Well… your age. And those in your profession do not tend to die of old age, which you are not that far from.”
>>161730Silver lays there in contemplation. It's not the first time she's said that, and it's really gotten him to think about just how old he really is.
"Hmm...I suppose those are...fair reservations..."
>>161731And has a neutral, or perhaps serious expression.
“I do not want to be a widowed mother with several young foals.” She adds
>>161732Silver nuzzles into the side of her neck.
"I promise you, you will not. I will not be dying anytime soon, nor anytime while you are still young."
>>161733For a moment, she closes her eyes she smiles.
“How do you know?”
>>161734"I can feel it, deep in my soul. Death will not come for me so soon, and I promise you I would fight as ferociously as any guardian of Tartarus to keep him away."
>>161735She blinks
“Did you expect your… your wife to go so early?”
>>161736Oof. That, that hurts the unicorn. Pain and old trauma are clearly visible on his face when she says this, and after a couple seconds he works hard to bury it back down.
"...N-no...I did not." He smiles sadly. "But she died fighting, as hard as she could have..."
>>161737“Could not the same happen to you?” She asks, with that same, blunt, heavily accented but non-emotive voice.
