24.1% Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos / Chapter 565: Signs of Spring

Capítulo 565: Signs of Spring

Though things had been tense for a short while, it wasn't long before Ryuu had managed to calm down as they slowly made their way through the small forested area in the center of the Hearth Manor. Just as he had realized in the past, Vahn felt very relaxed around Ryuu because she was one of the few girls that had never placed too many expectations on his shoulders. Other than the times when they had shared a few passionate moments, the rest of the time he was with Ryuu was very peaceful and he was very grateful for her presence in his life. In the hopes that she would feel a similar comfort from him, Vahn dispersed a gentle stream of energy into his domain and tried to emulate the feeling of nature and the warmth of spring.

Even without his attempts to please her, Ryuu was enjoying their quiet walk a great deal and already felt very comfortable at his side. She was aware of the energy permeating through the air and it brought a small smile to her face knowing Vahn was trying to make her happy. She cast him a glance with her sky blue eyes before resting her head against his shoulder as she commented, "This is very pleasant..." Vahn kissed the top her head and noticed her hair had a smell reminiscent of the warm rays of the sun, almost like she was blooming alongside the buds marking the beginning of Spring.

Though it was very subtle, Ryuu's ears waggled slightly when he kissed her head and Vahn had to bite his lips to prevent himself from teasing her. He greatly enjoyed the affectionate nature of Beast Human girls, but there was just something about teasing the elegant, cool, and taciturn Elves that tickled Vahn's fancy. However, he didn't really want to spoil the mood and wanted Ryuu to enjoy the date as she pleased without him forcing her into anything. Things were already very pleasant and Vahn didn't mind if things continued like this for the entire date.

After a few minutes of aimless wandering, simply enjoying each other's company, Vahn and Ryuu found themselves at the clearing where Mikoto usually trained. Perhaps she had taken their date into consideration and avoided the area today since Vahn couldn't see any signs that she had been here recently. As for Ryuu, she showed a slight blush on her face when they stepped into the clearing because her mind had wandered to their previous moment together in the clearing. She also remembered how 'quickly' she had run to Vahn during their small game of hide-and-seek, a memory that made her feel especially embarrassed because Syr, Chloe, and Arnya teased her about it quite a bit.

Vahn set out a blanket on the grass and pulled out a picnic basket he had prepared previously, full of food he knew Ryuu was fond of. Though she still ate meat, Ryuu was fond of vegetables, fruits, and small snacks like nuts and berries. He had lightly salted some almonds with crystalized honey that gave them a salty and sweet taste that was very popular amongst the Elven girls. There were also chilled apple slices, lightly seasoned rice, and small bite-sized fruits like strawberries and blackberries. Vahn made sure to pick foods that could easily be fed to people since he had intended to pamper Ryuu using the rather rare opportunity they had.

Before he was able to take the initiative, Vahn quickly lost the opportunity when Ryuu sat with her legs underneath her and pat her thighs, saying, "Relax your head here, Vahn..." She had seen the items in the picnic basket and quickly understood what Vahn likely intended. Just imagining lazily laying against his lap and having him feed her almost caused Ryuu's brain to short circuit and she adamantly refused to let things go in that direction. Since she wouldn't 'easily' be able to refuse his offer, Ryuu seized the initiative while Vahn was setting things up. She wouldn't truly be able to relax if he was pampering her and Ryuu didn't want things to escalate so early just because her tensions reached a critical level.

Never one to pass up an opportunity to experience a lap pillow, Vahn laid his head against Ryuu thighs after laying down in front of her. He would normally lay from the side, but it seemed more interesting to stare up at her from a different angle since he had the opportunity. Seeing her blushing face from below was a very satisfying experience and Vahn also noticed that her modest breasts were somewhat concealed by the thin sweater she was wearing. He wondered if she had worn something like that intentionally for reasons like this or if it was just something she considered to be 'cute'. If the latter was the case, this would mean that Ryuu's sense of what it meant to be 'cute' was somewhat childish and Vahn found this strangely comforting.

Ryuu began picking things out of the picnic basket and feeding them to the 'lazy' Vahn who had quickly relaxed his body after laying against her thighs. Seeing his calm expression helped her relax greatly and she preferred seeing Vahn like this even more than when they were together at night. She had never been good around other people and it was always somewhat 'difficult' when they had sex with other people around. Without Syr, and other people she trusted, Ryuu wouldn't be able to go through with it and was one of the people truly grateful for the change in scheduling. Though she would like to experience 'exciting' events again in the future, it was preferable to her that things were slow and relaxed like this. After all, they put their lives on the line in the Dungeon and there were enemies all around them...relaxing when they had the opportunity was for the best.

Staring down at Vahn's face from above, Ryuu placed a chilled blackberry against his lips and saw him open his mouth, taking both the blackberry and the tips of her fingers inside. A bit of warmth touched her cheeks when she took a strawberry from the basket and placed it in her own mouth, noticing it was strangely sweeter than expected. Turning her eyes back to Vahn's relaxed expression, Ryuu found herself entering a momentary daze as she once again realized he was very handsome. He still had the looks of a young boy that was just transitioning into manhood, but his features were flawless and, even though his skin was a healthy tan, it was completely unblemished almost like a god. She knew he could even become 'beautiful' by turning into an Elf or a High Elf and this thought made a small pressure expand in the bridge of her nose...

Vahn noticed the strange fluctuation in Ryuu's aura and opened his eyes just as a single drop of blood fell and landed against his forehead. Ryuu's face turned crimson red as she reached her hand up to make sure there wasn't any more blood coming out at Vahn began laughing heartily even as he sat up to help make sure she was okay. He didn't know what she had been thinking about but seeing this type of reaction from Ryuu made Vahn feel strangely pleased with himself. Even when she gave him a bit of a fierce look, Vahn couldn't stop himself from showing a large grin until he eventually ended up embracing her from behind when she tried to bashfully avoid his gaze.

After tumbling around for a bit, Ryuu ended up calming down as Vahn's warm embrace and the soothing energy from his hands helped ease her tensions. She was sweating a bit from moving around and the cool morning air against her thighs was especially noticeable right now. Ryuu very rarely ever wore skirts and she was somewhat regretting it now that she could feel a breeze against the relatively thin pair of panties she was wearing. This made the warmth coming from Vahn feel even more pleasant, however, so Ryuu eventually just relaxed and let the tensions drain from her body. Vahn kissed her neck, making her heart begin to race, but Ryuu didn't mind it too much as anticipation began to sprout within its depths.

He could sense that Ryuu was getting in the mood, but Vahn didn't want to put Ryuu in a disheveled state when she put in so much effort to dress up cutely for him. Instead, he just nibbled at her ear for a bit before tucking his head into her neck and simply holding her from behind as if they were going to sleep. Ryuu's heart was beating like a spooked rabbit, but Vahn just held her tightly for several minutes until she eventually calmed down. Her breathing, which had started to accelerate as a result of his teasing, turned into a gentle flow that escaped through her nose almost soundlessly. After a while, Ryuu eventually ended up asking, "Vahn...would you be happy if I also got pregnant...?"

Vahn inhaled a bit of Ryuu's scent when he inhaled and said, "Ryuu, I'm already very happy with how things are going...but I would undoubtedly be even happier if you had my child. Just make sure you're ready before taking that step...I don't want you to push yourself just to appeal to me." Ryuu parted her eyes and stared off into space with a thoughtful glint in her eyes as she said, "I have been thinking about it ever since the discussion about the Divination...I don't want to die without having the opportunity to leave behind a part of myself in this world...something that will represent the love we have shared with each other..." Ryuu still struggled with knowing her death had been at the early age of twenty years old. She had always expected to have plenty of time to have children, but that didn't seem to be something that could be guaranteed...

Hearing Ryuu's words, Vahn was also pulled back to the Divination and the feelings that had threatened to tear him apart knowing what had transpired. He also felt a bit of pressure to make the girls from the Divination happier, now that he had the chance, so the thought of starting a family with Ryuu wasn't something he was against. In fact, just imagining a smaller version of Ryuu running around in girly clothes made Vahn enter a small daze as he said, "I think our children will be adorable..." Ryuu laughed at Vahn's remark and shifted around in his arms until her body was turned to his and they could see each other's expressions.

Ryuu couldn't sense auras as he could, but she still felt the love Vahn had for her and it made her feel very safe and secure. However, there was one last thing she had been worried about so Ryuu said, "I'm not sure how things work with your transformation ability...but...I'd like...to be impregnated by an Elf...or maybe a High Elf...I'm sorry, Vahn...I-" Before Ryuu could continue apologizing, Vahn sealed her ruby-red lips that had become much darker than normal as a result of the fierce blush she had on her face. He also wasn't quite sure what would happen if he impregnated a girl as a different race, though he assumed it wouldn't really be an issue at all. Vahn knew he was 'compatible' with almost any race and it shouldn't actually create a hybrid, but something akin to a stronger version of his partner's race. However, if Ryuu felt more comfortable thinking their child would benefit from him being in the form of a High Elf, he would give her that small comfort.

Using [Thria*Mimos] in conjunction with his imaging ability, Vahn's hair grew marginally longer as the dark brown color faded until it became a golden color. He was emulating Ryuu's energy flow to supplement his transformation but his focus had been on becoming a High Elf. A cold sensation reached the tips of his ears before a heat flowed through them as their length increased greatly. His healthy brown skin became a pearl-white with a healthy glow to it as Vahn's facial features softened greatly. He knew he would probably look very feminine but it didn't really matter that much since his basic appearance shouldn't change too much based on the image he was holding. As for Ryuu, her body had started to tremble slightly as she observed the changes, clearly not expecting that he would act on her words almost immediately after she brought up the subject...

Vahn released soft laughter as he stroked Ryuu's cheek and said, "I imagine our children will be even more adorable if I'm in this form...what do you think~?" Ryuu titled her head to the side to avoid his gaze before bringing her hand up to her face once again as a thin line of blood escaped her left nostril. Furrowing his brows slightly, Vahn infused healing energy through his palms to help Ryuu calm down because the blood was clearly rushing to her head faster than she could deal with it. Though it was very adorable, Vahn couldn't help but feel a little concerned since Ryuu typically didn't behave like this. She was probably very tense from her change in attire, having her hair styled, and being alone with him in the middle of a scenic illusory forest.

Ryuu buried her face into Vahn's chest to hide her expression as she did her best to calm down in his embrace. She realized now that her words were taken very seriously by Vahn and she probably should have chosen a more 'opportune' moment to bring it up. The very thing she had worried about ended up happening and her tensions had reached a critical level causing her a great deal of embarrassment. She had only mentioned it to Syr, but her nose had been bleeding periodically whenever she got too excited. Ryuu had wanted to avoid exposing this small secret so early because it was a very embarrassing thing that she didn't have much control over.

To make sure there weren't any issues, Vahn had been staring into Ryuu with his [Eyes of Truth] active and was inspecting the area around her nose to see if there were any problems with the blood vessels in the area. He could see that some of them had expanded slightly, but that could just be a result of her increased blood flow through the area and was actually common when there were large temperature changes between the seasons. Though it wouldn't really be a problem if left untreated, Vahn stroked the back of Ryuu's head and said, "Ryuu, look up at me for a moment..." She was a bit hesitant at first, but Ryuu eventually looked up at Vahn with slightly moist eyes that clearly showed that the vibrant pinks and passionate reds in her aura weren't imaginary.

Vahn reached out and pinched Ryuu's nose, something she didn't seem to expect as she pulled her head back slightly, and used [Hands of Nirvana] to repair the slightly damaged blood vessels and reduce their swelling. Ryuu seemed to realize what he was doing and, even though it felt like there was a strange 'sinking' feeling in her nose, she allowed Vahn to treat her. The pressure that had been building up in the bridge of her nose faded away almost entirely so Ryuu released a sigh of relief before burying her face back into Vahn's chest and saying, "Thank you...I'm ready now..."

Almost as if her aura had been incited by her words, a hazy red completely filled Vahn's vision and there was a strange scent of fruit and honey accompanying it. He deeply inhaled the fragrance without inhibitions as he stroked Ryuu's back in a small circle and said, "I'll never be able to thank you enough, Ryuu...but I still feel like I need to express it...so thank you...I love you." Ryuu's ears waggled a bit and she peeked up at Vahn with her watery sky blue eyes before gripping his tunic tightly and saying, "I love you too, Vahn...more than I ever thought possible..."

If someone would have told her six months ago that she would be laying with a boy in the middle of a clearing, Ryuu would have looked at them as if they were mad. Now, however, Ryuu felt like any other outcome than what she was currently experiencing was...unacceptable. Without waiting for him to initiate things, Ryuu pulled herself closer to his face and began kissing Vahn with more passion than any of their previous exchanges. She may not have realized it herself, but this was also the first time Ryuu proactively initiated a kiss like this with Vahn and it was the first real step they both took towards their shared future...and the culmination of their happiness.

With practiced movements, Vahn caressed Ryuu's body as they 'eagerly' began undressing each other. When Ryuu pulled her vanilla-colored sweater free from her body, Vahn saw the thin green halter top she had been wearing and quickly reached for the strings to free it from her body. Ryuu grabbed his hands and pulled them down, however, saying, "Leave it...I know you like it more when girls wear a bit of clothing...since you changed for me, I want to do something for you as well..." Vahn felt his heart itch when he heard Ryuu's words, causing his own tensions to rapidly begin increasing as he rolled over and 'pinned' Ryuu against the colorful picnic blanket. Seeing the light layer of sweat against her fair, yet slightly ruddy, complexion made his heart begin beating marginally faster than normal.

The green halter top made her seem even more beautiful and tantalizing than normal because Vahn could see two concealed buds poking against the fabric almost as if they refused to go unnoticed. Knowing that she was very sensitive in her breasts, Vahn began massaging Ryuu's left breast with his right hand while his left quickly removed Ryuu's pure-white silk panties and 'discarded' them into his inventory. He left the thin belt around her waist and the purple pleated skirt in place as he began kissing around her neck and collar bone. Ryuu was always somewhat hesitant at this point but this time Vahn found that she didn't put any strength into keeping legs closed at all. This caused the tensions that had been rising up inside of his body to break free like a flood gate as an endless tide of warmth and love flowed from his heart, directed toward the blushing Elf that looked at him with a passionate and inviting light deep in her sky blue eyes...

Capítulo 566: Lack of Awareness

After more than an hour, Vahn and Ryuu ended up laying down on the slightly damp picnic blanket as they both looked towards the crystal clear sky. Their hands were interlocked as they lay next to each other and enjoyed the peaceful reverie after their passionate engagement with each other. Throughout the entire seventy minute period, Vahn only ended up ejaculating a single time and had treated Ryuu more gently than he ever had in the past. There was no rush at all and they simply lost themselves in each other in a slow love-making session that made the 'bashful' Elf turn beet red. Ryuu wasn't as sensitive in her vagina as normal girls but, after he had released a large volume of life-giving essence into her sacred temple she had clung to his body for more than seven minutes straight as her body trembled from the reverberations of her climax.

Vahn had done his best to infuse as much of his mana as he thought she could handle when he probed her depths in an attempt to 'guarantee' pregnancy. Through that long seven minutes, Ryuu's body had absorbed as much of his source energy as it could contain and she was 'forced' to ovulate as a result. This was further proof that the infertility issues of Elves were related to the amount of 'nourishment' they could receive in their wombs and Ryuu's glowed like a rainbow with the swirling source energy that nourished her body and almost made her go crazy.

Ryuu couldn't actually absorb the source energy itself, but her body was siphoning parts of it and converting it into an ocean of natural energy that would normally never exist during such situations. As a result, unless Ryuu decided to take a pill later, Vahn speculated there was around a 98% chance she would remain pregnant. He had already seen the small egg eject from her ovaries and 'dive' into the swirling mass of source energy and vital essence to be further nourished. As long as it ended up sticking properly within her uterus, everything would be fine and there would be a tiny Elven child running around within the next 8-14 months.

The pregnancies of Elves and High Elves could last for much longer periods of time depending on how close they were to a source of natural energy like one of the Sacred Trees. The longer the pregnancy went on, the more complications that would typically arise but Vahn didn't think it would be an issue at all. Even if Ryuu just spent time within Terra's garden every day she would probably deliver her child on time. Vahn even suspected he would be able to 'accelerate' her pregnancy if he helped nourish her body with source energy every day.

One of the 'mistakes' the Elves had been making for millennia was the fact that, after an Elf got pregnant, they would focus on taking care of the female and would cease having sex entirely. This actually complicated matters further and 'forced' the females Elves to have to nourish the baby with their own vital energy to ensure it would develop safely. He could either infuse his energy directly into her body, or they could have sex periodically and Ryuu should be completely fine without burdening her vitality at all. This was all speculation, however, so Vahn would need to closely observe her throughout the pregnancy to make sure things were going smoothly...

From his side, Ryuu suddenly muttered in a very quiet tone that almost sounded like she was speaking to herself, "I'm a little scared...it feels like I'm in a dream..." Vahn squeezed Ryuu's hand in response before turning to his side and cuddling up against her in a warm embrace, saying, "It certainly feels like a dream for me as well...but I hope this is real since I would feel embarrassed the next time I see you if I had a dream like this...hahaha." Ryuu had been in a bit of a daze as she enjoyed Vahn's warmth but, realizing what he was saying, the redness that had yet to fade from her face returned with a vengeance. Ryuu couldn't stop herself from curling up into a small ball as Vahn hugged her tightly from behind and continued by saying, "I love you, Ryuu...lets make a happy family together." Though she was still incredibly embarrassed, Ryuu nodded her heard and muttered an 'Nn' as she squeezed Vahn's arms tightly.

---

In total, Vahn's date with Ryuu had gone on for a little over four hours before they eventually decided it was best to return to the Manor. During those four hours, excluding the seventy minutes they had taken to 'plan' for their future, they spent their time simply cuddling up together under the warm rays of the sun. Though they talked about a few things, the majority of the time was spent in silence as both Ryuu and Vahn had gotten wrapped up in the peaceful atmosphere and just wanted to enjoy it. She wouldn't know for 'certain' for around two weeks, but Ryuu was already acting like she was pregnant and Vahn 'humored' her by gently stroking her exposed stomach while infusing a gentle stream of energy into her body.

After they reached the Manor, Vahn and Ryuu shared a very long embrace with each other that ended up catching the attention of Naaza, who had been planning on picking up some herbs from the garden. She opened up the back door and had a wide-eyed expression on her face before trying to retreat back inside as Vahn laughed and Ryuu blushed. Naaza's presence brought his moment with Ryuu to temporary end as she 'escaped' into the Manor, likely to go talk with Syr or Riveria. As for Naaza, she had a slight blush on her face now, almost as if Ryuu's had been infectious and she had ended up catching it. With a slightly apologetic expression, Naaza muttered, "I'm sorry, Vahn...I didn't mean to interrupt..."

Vahn shook his head and just stepped forward before embracing Naaza tightly and stroking the back of her hair. Before she could collect her thoughts completely, Vahn whispered into her droopy dog-like ears, "Naaza, I know you're being patient for Lili's sake...but I'd like to spend some more time with you. Since you didn't put your name on the schedule, I'll come by your atelier and take a look at your research. There are a few things I'd like you to take a look at as well, so please make some time for me..." She didn't answer for a long time, but Vahn could see Naaza's bushy tail waggle back and forth happily before she eventually nodded her head and said, "I'd like that, Vahn..." However, before he could 'steal' a kiss from her, Naaza came to her senses and managed to free herself from his embrace as she ran off towards the forest with hurried steps.

For a few seconds, Vahn just watched her departing figure in confusion before squinting his eyes and transforming into his Báihǔ form. He immediately noticed that his body was 'drenched' with Ryuu's scent and he had probably disturbed Naaza a bit by hugging her so closely. She was definitely in the category of girls that wasn't that open to showing affection in public so Vahn gave himself a mild reprimand before making his way towards the onsen. He was going to be opening up his salon in a little more than an hour so it wouldn't be a bad idea to wash up normally before getting ready. Since the girls that would be coming for his services would likely clean their bodies beforehand, Vahn expected he might even get to spend some time with them beforehand.

Though he didn't check who they belonged to, Vahn could detect several presences within the bath including an aura fluctuation he didn't recognize. However, the 'rules' of the Manor had already been explained to the Guild girls so their use of the onsen was entirely voluntary. There was no need for him to show 'unnecessary' courtesy within his own home, especially when they were briefed on the situation beforehand. Syr had talked to him after the incident with Rose and gave him a small lecture on how he needed to act as the 'man of the house' and avoid making concessions for people 'borrowing' their amenities.

Upon entering the bath, Vahn saw a flash of pink and saw Misha crowding around Eina with a teasing smile on her face as she held a sponge in her hands. As he had expected, Preasia was already present as well but she was far away from the 'chaos' alongside Fenrir and Tina. Vahn was surprised to see them together before he remembered that Tina also had an hour-long massage prize to redeem. He wasn't sure if she intended to use it now or if she had just decided to tag along with Fenrir and Preasia to take an early bath before dinner.

Fenrir had noticed her Master's presence before anyone else in the onsen and had stood up from the water with a splash as she waved her paws excitedly, shouting, "Master, come take a bath with us! Fenrir will wash your body~!" Her outburst caused Misha to become 'alert' as the awkward smile on Eina's face relaxed with a sigh of relief. She wasn't that good at dealing with Misha and being in the bath together like this was always a little awkward since she had a tendency to get handsy. With Vahn's presence, however, Misha had frozen like a Needle Rabbit that accidentally wandered into the lair of a Wyvern. Vahn showed a casual smile, but the only thing Misha managed to do in response was to sink into the water and blow bubbles as she hid her figure from his gaze.

Eina laughed at the behavior of her best friend and colleague before saying, "Who was the one to say they didn't mind even if Vahn saw their naked body? I wonder if you'll be able to go through with the massage at this rate...ehehehe~." Misha seemed to have been 'awakened' by Eina's words as she stopped trying to conceal her body completely and splashed water in Eina's direction, saying, "Eina, don't say things that can be easily misunderstood! Geez, you senseless woman~!" Misha began to laugh in a somewhat bashful manner and Vahn was very aware she was doing her best to keep her back facing him. Even if she had a disposition towards women, there were few girls that were simply okay with being 'ogled' by men they weren't involved with.

Vahn sent a small wave towards the smiling Eina and entered the water before gravitating towards Fenrir, Tina, and Preasia. He transformed into his Vanargandr form so Fenrir could actually wash his body and then sunk into the water to make it easier for her. Tina had averted her eyes as he walked over, which was her normal reaction, but Preasia had watched him like she was recording each of his movements with her eyes. Vahn felt like he would need to confront her about her tendency to stare at him in the future but had been putting it off since none of the other girls seemed to complain about it. He knew from Loki's guidance that Preasia was also a little 'broken' and needed his care and concern if she was going to stabilize in the future. During the massage session later, Vahn intended to 'comfort' her a bit more than usual to see if it helped ease the burdens in her heart.

Fenrir was happily humming away as she scrubbed Vahn's thick midnight-blue fur with awkward movements. This wasn't the first time he had been washed by her so Vahn had previously given Fenrir a type of sponge with an elastic strap that could be stretched around her paws to make it easier for her to wash him. She had been very fond of the items and, almost every day since then, Fenrir had 'taken' the right to wash his body as her own. Her reason was that he always washed her and now wanted to return the favor since he was the only person she could wash without endangering. Though she loved to be pampered, Fenrir wanted to return some of the treatment she often received. Vahn hadn't thought much about it previously but Syr had made a comment about how Fenrir had 'learned' that type of behavior from watching him...

Tina seemed to collect herself after a few minutes had passed and moved a bit closer to Vahn as she asked, "Vahnya, will you help wash me~?" Vahn nodded his head without thinking about it too much since he had washed Tina several times in the past without incident. This time, however, Vahn helped up his paws and smiled as he explained, "It might be a little difficult like this though, so you'll have to be patient for now. If you don't want to wait, you can get Preasia to wash you." Tina saw the claws on Vahn's paws and blanked momentarily before giving a brief glance at Preasia and making her decision. Turning back to Vahn, Tina nodded her head and said, "I will...help Fenrir wash you...nyan?"

It wouldn't be the first time Tina washed his body, but Vahn noticed the subtle change in her behavior and compared it to how she had been acting throughout the week. They had been spending a lot of time together and it was obvious she had been opening up to him more and more. Her affection was permanently affixed at 99 right now, but her hidden parameters had probably been increasing a fair amount. Vahn tried expressing familial love for her, but her disposition had undergone a change ever since the day he gifted her the ribbon. Since it was made out of a material that was almost completely hydrophobic, Tina was even wearing her ribbon during the bath and Vahn could see her tail twitching around in the water with the vibrant red refracting under the somewhat hazy surface.

Before Vahn could answer her himself, Fenrir had started washing the side of his head and said, "Tina can wash Master's shoulders and back. Fenrir will take care of the front to avoid trouble, nyufufu~" Though she may not have intended to do it purposefully, Fenrir had emulated Milan's voice when she was speaking to Tina and even copied one of the characteristic laughs of a Cat Person. Tina startled slightly before a deep blush appeared on her face and she made her way around Vahn's back. She hadn't had any 'intentions' at all, but Fenrir's words made her realize it might have seemed like she was trying to wash Vahn's front since Fenrir was already scrubbing his head and back. Though she did her best to avoid staring, Tina's heart began beating rapidly as an image she knew she shouldn't recall came to the forefront of her mind.

Vahn released a sigh and closed his eyes while trying to block out Tina's chaotic aura from his mind as Fenrir began ardently scrubbing away at his chest with her oval-shaped paw sponges. She very unashamedly stayed close to his body and bounced up and down happily as a result of her exertions. However, even if his eyes had been open, Vahn wouldn't have seen too tantalizing a sight since Fenrir was an ally to Tiona and Loki. As for Tina, she awkwardly moved her hands around Vahn's back causing him to quickly realize she had 'forgotten' a sponge. After pulling one out of thin air, Vahn passed it over to the bashful girl who released a slight mewling sound of embarrassment...

Tina had been a bit distracted by Vahn's broad back and had hesitantly pressed her palm against it as she moved around the soapy suds sticking to his lean and muscular figure. When Vahn suddenly handed her a sponge, she felt like her heart had crept up into her throat and her stomach trembled like there were thousands of butterflies flying around inside. She plopped down into the hot water to cool off her head but encountered something neither she nor Vahn had expected. Because he was in his Vanargandr form, Vahn had a long bushy tail that was resting beneath the murky surface of the water. Tina had made sure to avoid stepping on it previously but, after her embarrassment overloaded her mental circuits, she sat down in the water and straddled against his tail with a plop. Vahn hadn't expected the sudden contact and it caused his tail to twitch once outside his control as Tina jumped up from the water with a 'Nyaaaayaaaaaaaaaaaaaahn~!?" sound and took off sprinting toward the changing room without even grabbing a towel to cover her naked body.

The atmosphere in the onsen became very awkward as silence overtook everyone that remained behind. Misha had a bit of incredulous look on her face and even Eina showed a complicated expression as she was able to piece together what had happened. She had been watching Vahn ever since he entered the bath and saw Tina plop down in the water suddenly before jumping nearly two meters in the air and running off. Though it was only for a brief moment, she saw the tip of Vahn's tail poke up out of the water and the shocked expression on his face as he watched Tina's 'escape'. It very clearly wasn't his fault but Eina intended to talk to Milan about her daughter's behavior since she was at a 'precarious' age right now...

Fenrir had been surprised by Tina's outburst and had completely stopped her hand movements before grabbing her Master's shoulders and pulling herself up to see over him. She saw his tail swirl about in the water and the conflicted expression on his face before a strangely exasperated look appeared on her face and she shook her head. Seeing her strange reaction, Vahn turned his head up at Fenrir as she said, "Master needs to learn to control his tail properly. Very naughty." Completely outside his expectations, Fenrir plopped her paws atop his head and said, "Don't worry, Master can be naughty all he wants to other girls, just not Tina. Be patient, okay~?"

For the first time in his life, at least as far as he could recall, Vahn felt an indescribable sense of shame and just hung his head as Fenrir 'happily' resumed washing his body. Though it was the result of a misunderstanding, Fenrir's words felt especially heavy and made Vahn unable to respond for a while until Eina appeared next to him and said, "Fenrir, Vahn didn't mean to do anything...it was an accident, so don't be so hard on him, okay?" Fenrir's ears flopped as she tilted her head to the side and said, "Fenrir isn't wrong...Master just needs to control his tail and accidents won't happen. Master can feel everything around him so he could have avoided the situation if he was prepared. Even Fenrir doesn't let people sit on her tail...Master is just inexperienced~?"

Eina was at a loss for how to respond to Fenrir's words because it was the longest stream of sentences she had ever heard from the typically curt wolf-girl. Vahn, however, completely understood what Fenrir was trying to say and he couldn't help but agree. Because he was so accustomed to being human, Vahn didn't really practice making proper use of the traits he obtained when transforming. He could still remember using his tail in Báihǔ form to fight against enemies, but he had stopped trying to adopt that kind of fighting style once he awakened Xuánwǔ. With [Shundo], Vahn's mobility was already very high so he had stopped relying on his Báihǔ form in combat, even though it used to be his preferred fighting style. Since it was an ability derived from an Innate, it was undoubtedly much stronger than magic he obtained after a few days of practice...he just stopped trying to get used to it and it was even more practical to become a Vanargandr that used Xuánwǔ instead...

After thinking this far, Vahn raised his head and showed a mixture of an apologetic expression and a resolute look as he said, "I need to start training properly..." He hadn't been putting much effort into his morning training and often spent the entire time meditating until the girls were ready to head off to the Dungeon. It seemed he needed to familiarize himself with his own forms more, or perhaps needed to spend more time in a transformed state so he had better awareness. Vahn already had near-perfect control over his own body, including sensations like touch, so it was nearly impossible to actually catch him off guard in a normal situation. This meant he could have easily avoided the 'mishap' with Tina but, after thinking this far, Vahn began to wonder why such mishaps always seemed to occur around Tina...
