Kapitel 213: A party performance *
Music from a collection of oddly designed string instruments echoed through the banquet hall as the chittering of the ar'ca'nea continued unabated, despite how long the event had gone on. Taking her time to look over the room, Dahlia figured that the spider-folk were far more extroverted than she ever was and she was beginning to think that the party would continue through the day and well into the late hours of the night. Frankly though, she wasn't the only one that looked like they were wanting a change of pace.
Bessie had gone from being a dopey and happy drunk, to now leaning against a *very* disgruntled Sabrina and snoring noisily; Dahlia even thought she saw a bit of drool on her mother's shoulder and had to use every bit of willpower she had to not burst out in laughter. To make matters even more amusing, Avery had long since curled up and fallen asleep as well, directly onto her mother's lap.

AngelAsphodel This was hard to write, mostly because I struggle with the mindset needed for smut chapters. Aslo, while I enjoy exhibitionism as a kink, consent is important and I didn't want to ignore it.
Now, this *is* a novel and I take liberties. I certainly wouldn't expect healthy kink culture fully represented here because that's not the goal of this novel. In fact, there's a good chance that the next time there's an exhibition scene in the future, it will be around strangers. In the end, I settled on Dahlia only caring for approval from those she actually cares about. Sorry if that rubs you the wrong way, but it's the balance that I feel works most naturally while writing. Again, not too much of a big deal for this chapter, but it can be relevant in the future.
Anywayyyyy, next chap will probably be spicy too. I'm hoping for it to be on the shorter side as opposed to this one, but meh, we'll see.
And, as always, thank you for reading and I hope you're having a wonderful day!
