Chapitre 549: Lull

After more than an hour-and-a-half, Vahn ended up in a small tub with Chloe as she lazily moved around under his guidance and affectionately pressed herself against his body. He was currently trying to wash her body but, even after she had 'calmed down' a bit, Chloe seemed to be in a very affectionate mood today. This often happened after he had sex with a Cat Person, as they would often cuddle up with and lick him after the fact, but it seemed like Chloe was especially 'active' today. Though it was brief, he even managed to get her to purr a bit when he was stroking her belly earlier, something that was difficult to trigger because they had to be in a very absentminded and relaxed state.

Towards the end, Vahn had discovered why Chloe was acting so uncharacteristically and it made him feel very fond of the lovable and mischevious 'kitten'. Because spring was approaching, causing the days to become longer and warmer, Chloe's body was in a 'standby' state that could trigger her to enter 'heat' at a moments notice. There were several factors involved, but it was the presence of other Cat People around her and the tensions she had been feeling in her body throughout the day. Though it had been an unintentional trigger, as far as he could tell, it was the woman nearly bumping into them that eventually set Chloe off.

This let Vahn know many things about Chloe's health and it showed that she was feeling a bit of anxiety as of late, to which there could be several causes. Knowing that she had died around this point in the Divination could be the main reason, but environmental factors and her interpersonal relationships with other people were likely the main cause. Chloe wasn't the type that formed many bonds with people in the past and, though she was very receptive to people with deeply rooted trauma, this was one of the first times in her life where she proactively endeavored to get along with others. His presence was likely the biggest factor, however, as she was most likely very worried about him and his antics while, though she may not appear that way on the surface, Chloe was feeling a bit of jealousy toward other girls.

Thinking this was a good opportunity to discuss the matter, as he had a lot of trust for Chloe and she would likely keep the matter under wraps for a little while, Vahn asked, "Chloe, if I could create memory fragments like Eva, do you think I can help make everyone happy? Or do you think it would be better to create a magical tool that allows me to compress time so we can be together more?" Chloe traced her fairly long and dry tongue from the center of Vahn's chest all the way up to his neck, causing the light condensation building up on his skin to vanish as her tongue 'lapped' it up. She had an amorous smile on her face, but the intelligent light in her eyes showed she was considering her answer seriously.

After a brief moment of silence, Chloe tilted her head and said, "I think you should probably talk to the goddesses and Syr about it, Vahn~nya. From what I can deduce, both ideas seem like a double-edged sword and I'm worried about the stresses you would face~nyafuu." Chloe started licking around his jaw and behind his ear after she completed her words, allowing Vahn the time he needed to think about things properly. She could tell that Vahn had probably been thinking about how 'unfairly' allocated his time was because there were simply too many girls. They all worked together and made concessions with each other, but there wasn't much any of them could do about their desire to be with Vahn at times. Because he could see their emotional states, Vahn was very receptive to their needs and this made him feel pressured when it was obvious they were 'starving' for his affection...

Vahn knew he would need to bring up the matter eventually, but he had wanted to keep it to himself until Eva's orb awakened. The girls likely knew he was feeling a bit pressured by their expectations, as he wasn't that great at keeping things from him, but vocalizing it was another matter entirely. If he brought up his 'concerns' now, Vahn feared the girls might try to give him a little more space and he would feel very guilty. After all, there were times when Vahn wished he could just spend all his time pampering and playing around with the girls instead of focusing on his other worries. They already made so many compromises for him that Vahn felt ashamed that he couldn't make them happy and work on the things he needed to worry about at the same time.

After releasing a large sigh, which causes Chloe's ears to flicker adorably, Vahn playfully thumbed around her tail and said, "I think I know what I need to do, but I'll talk to Hephaestus, Eina, Loki, and Hestia about it later. There is still a lot of time to consider the matter before I can even worry about it, so there isn't any reason to stress about it right now...haaaa." Chloe lazily nodded her head and started considering what she could do to ease Vahn's body and mind. His biggest 'problem' was that he put in a lot of effort to satisfy the girls but there were simply too many. He was seemingly considering 'splitting' himself a bit, which could be a fairly decent solution, but that could be dangerous for various reasons. If he was linked with the 'memory fragments', Vahn would feel an even greater amount of mental strain at times while, if he wasn't linked with them, some of the girls may become more attached to the 'version' of Vahn they had than the real thing...

The 'best' compromise would be if Vahn could set limitations on his copies and make them only perform specific tasks such as massages, 'petting', or simply talking, without allowing the copy, or the girls themselves, to escalate things in the relative privacy of the orb. This would allow them to release some of their own pent up desires without overstressing Vahn throughout the day, freeing up his schedule and only 'tending' to them during the evenings. However, this only worked if Vahn was 'linked' with the fragments as well since his interactions with the girls in the orb would be very 'important' for their bonds to grow stronger. If he wasn't linked with them, Chloe could imagine several girls that might take advantage of Vahn's nature to incite his copies to do 'foolish' things...

After their bath came to an end, Vahn and Chloe had a light lunch before she decided to head off and track down Shizune. Though it hadn't been to the extent of Tina, Shizune had experienced a great deal of growth for a young girl and needed to move her body and adapt to the change so that she didn't make any mistakes in the future. Her fighting style was rather indirect, so it was unlikely there would be any problems, but it was still better to have an understanding of your capabilities to avoid mishaps. As for Vahn, he decided to strike while the iron was hot and checked his Status Logbook to see what Hephaestus, Eina, Loki, Hestia, and Anubis were up to. It showed that Eina was 'busy' as a result of her work, but all the goddesses were currently 'free'.

At this point, Hephaestus was even in the Manor itself so Vahn went to check her workshop only to find that it was empty. Other than the Eternal Flame dancing about happily, almost like it was greeting him, Vahn didn't see any signs of her at all. Before he left, Vahn decided to 'pamper' one of the most important parts of Hephaestus so he cut open his palm and allowed some of his blood to fall into the exuberant flame as it happily lapped up the blood in an effort to absorb trace amounts of his source energy. Vahn was curious to see if the Eternal Flame would evolve even further in the future because he found the vermillion-golden flames to be rather beautiful and dazzling...just like Hephaestus herself.

Vahn figured that Hephaestus was either with Hestia, Syr, or talking with Terra, so he returned to the central area and detected two large presences on the third floor, confirming his earlier suspicion. Making his way up the stairs, Vahn opened the door without knocking because he could 'feel' that both girls knew he was coming to them. His bond with Hestia was simply ridiculous and just thinking he was almost near the Manor was what allowed her to intercept them at the foyer every day. Hephaestus's had been the highest before Hestia's 'overwhelming' love, so her bond was also quite powerful. When he was in close proximity to the goddesses, Vahn could sense their thoughts and emotions in a slightly abstract manner that made him feel very close to them.

Hephaestus and Hestia had been sitting on the latter's bed and Vahn was surprised to find the prolific forging goddess was wearing nothing but a loose white blouse and a pair or ruby-red panties. Hephaestus' face blushed slightly and she explained, "I had stayed up all night working on a new design and was going to take a nap with Hestia. You showed up just as we were about to lay down..." Hestia also had a somewhat bashful expression, but only after seeing how Hephaestus was reacting. She had originally thought nothing of it but now realized their situation could easily be misunderstood by people if they didn't understand the context.

Vahn released a light chuckle and unabashedly climbed into the bed with the two blushing beauties and said, "I wanted to talk with the two of you while also getting the opinions of Loki, Anubis, Eina, and Syr. However, I wouldn't mind taking a nap myself if you don't mind me joining~?" Hephaestus laughed while Hestia practically yanked him over and pulled him to the head of the bed. There was no way she would allow Vahn to escape after his words and the idea of simply lazing around with him made her heart burst with happiness. Hephaestus also worked in conjunction with her, so Vahn very quickly found himself 'enveloped' between the two buxom goddesses as a feeling of extreme comfort settled into his mind.

As they prepared to doze off together, Vahn absentmindedly explained what he was concerned about and they both said they would bring it up on the network and discuss it later. Until Vahn had a better understanding of such things, there wasn't any real sense in planning around such things. However, talking about methods to help the girls feel more 'involved' with Vahn was something that they could easily discuss. Just like his little stint with jumping off Fafnir in the past, there were plenty of group activities that didn't involve things like sex or having Vahn pamper them directly. Everyone liked to experience new things, especially if they were very exciting, so there were plenty of alternatives that didn't require Vahn to do anything 'excessive'...

---

After a nice three-hour nap, Vahn woke up feeling strangely refreshed, something he often felt when he slept with Hestia. Just like earlier, when he felt that incredible sense of comfort, Hestia had a natural aura that made him feel almost like he was in a daze. Though his memories were a bit blurry, which was rare considering he had a near-perfect memory, Vahn could still recall the times when he relaxed against her thighs and she gently caressed his head. It was likely a property of her Divinity, but Hestia could help him relax to an extent that even Eina couldn't, though it was a bit of an unfair comparison considering that Hestia was a first generation goddess while Eina was just a mortal girl.

Eina was also very 'consistent' compared to someone like Hestia, who could have huge shifts in her mood depending on the situation and was sometimes very 'intense'. Vahn spent more time pampering her than the other way around, so Eina was still the girl he was most comfortable with since she was not only his wife, but someone that proactively endeavored to care for his physical and mental wellness. Since she was clearly working the afternoon shift, Vahn decided to ask her if she would spend the evening with him so that he could receive a bit of her pampering...

As he had promised previously, Vahn ended up opening up his 'salon' after awakening from his nap and spent a relatively uneventful afternoon polishing his massage techniques and gaining a bit of OP with his [Petting] Development Ability. Shizune had shown up, as was to be expected, but she behaved herself since Milan and Tina were both present to observe. She wore the thin, open-back, top that only covered the front side of her diminutive chest and a pair of small black spats that clearly showed that Milan had 'forced' her to wear panties underneath. Throughout the entire process, Tina had a ruddy flush to her face but she had calmed down a lot since this morning and no longer looked anxious and upset with him.

Once he finished his relatively tame massage with Shizune, Vahn moved on to Milan who, under the watchful gaze of her daughters, fought to stifle her relatively silent mewls. Vahn went easy on her, as he didn't want her to lose face in front of her daughters, but neither really seemed to mind that much considering they knew of Milan's 'habits' from the past. Shizune was very calm throughout the entire process and even watched from up close, clearly interested in the massage technique itself, while Tina just periodically sent glances at Vahn when she thought he wasn't paying attention. Her tail flicked about in a somewhat rigid state that was a bit of a 'danger' flag if she was a bit older, but Vahn played along and pretended to not notice.

After sending off the three girls, the next to show up was Lunoire who had her characteristically gentle smile and almost sleepy looking eyes. She climbed up on the massage table and talked about her day while Vahn gave her a light massage and patiently listened to her words. Lunoire had ventured into the Dungeon with Tiona, Naaza, and Lili today and they had gone all the way down to the 24th Floor, even though it was relatively dangerous to do so considering the existence of enemies within the Dungeon. However, they had worked it out with the other girls beforehand and took the [Rallying Whistle] with them just in case they needed help.

Lunoire was beginning to work hard to increase her strength, but she still had the same disposition of simply wanting to laze about at times, much like Hestia. She had also opened up a lot to Vahn and was one of the girls that proactively talked about her day and the things she was worried about when they were alone. Many of the other girls had a tendency to bottle up their thoughts, much like himself, so it was sometimes difficult to understand what they were going through. Fortunately, they talked amongst themselves a lot and, the ones that were less vocal, still put their concerns onto the network and received 'counseling' from Hestia and Syr after the fact...

Once Lunoire had left, the next girl to enter the salon had been Ryuu, who had a bit of a bashful look to her. Vahn felt the urge to tease her but kept things 'professional' as she sat down in a reclining chair he had within the salon. Ryuu hadn't come for a massage and instead, somewhat hesitantly, asked Vahn for a pedicure and a manicure as she relaxed against the chair. Vahn happily obliged and dutifully attended to Ryuu, even as her blush grew progressively redder over time. He didn't tease her directly but, by talking to her and keeping her from completely relaxing her mind, Ryuu was overly aware of his actions and felt very embarrassed to have him grabbing her legs and 'playing' around with her toes...

After sending off the tomato-colored Ryuu, the last person he tended to for the afternoon ended up being Tsubaki. Vahn felt a little exasperated when she showed up because Tsubaki was always very 'proactive' when it came to things and it was hard to stay calm around her. Fortunately, she had calmed down a bit compared to her past self as a result of her pregnancy. Though she teased him a fair amount, she was quickly 'tamed' after Vahn gave her a deep tissue massage without relying too much on his [Hands of Nirvana]. It wouldn't be nearly as pleasant, even causing her a bit of soreness, but it was the type of ache that was strangely relaxing. Vahn also took the time to check the status of her pregnancy, a topic that hade made Tsubaki mellow out greatly.

Once his salon treatments were finished, Vahn went to visit Terra inside the garden and spent the remaining time before dinner talking with her, Riveria, and Syr. The atmosphere around Riveria was a bit strange, but Vahn pretended not to notice it too much and just pandered to the mature High Elf for a bit so she wouldn't try to beat him with her staff. She was likely still bothered from the events of the day prior but Vahn wasn't going to shy away so easily so he did his best to stay calm as they talked about some of his research topics. Riveria was interested in the idea of the orbs, though Vahn hadn't gone into any details about 'why' he wanted to make them, while Syr seemed to have inferred something from Vahn's behavior and had a small smile on her face. Terra was much the same, but for decidedly different reasons...

Chapitre 550: Procedure

After spending a relatively peaceful night with Eina, Vahn got a jump start on the morning and decided to spend some quality time with Aki and Arnya as he waited for Loki to stop by with the first goddess he was supposed to help. Thinking about pregnancies made Vahn want to spend time with his own girls and it made him very pleased that both Arnya and Aki were very healthy while the babies in their bellies seemed full of vitality. He couldn't identify the gender of their children, but being able to hear their faint heartbeats made Vahn feel elated and a bit possessive as he gently stroked the girls' bellies.

Arnya was laying across his lap with her legs folded as she absentmindedly held her hands over his while Aki just leaned against his shoulder and nuzzled against him. It was moments like this that Vahn wished could go on forever and it made his desire to 'compress' time greater. He had thought about it a lot during the evening and had talked to Eina after she heard about the topic from Hephaestus and Hestia. Eina felt that is was best to make a compromise between the two, meaning Vahn should use memory fragment orbs while also using a time compression orb. She could understand the potential dangers as well, but it was Eina's opinion that having the 'option' was better as it would allow Vahn more time to relax as well. If the orbs were very secure, it was also a place where the children would be able to play around in relative safety...

He hadn't thought of it before, but Eina also mentioned it would be a good way to move people to and from one point to another without having to have long convoys or prepare a large number of supplies. If he really wanted to travel around with his family, without having to prepare a fleet of dragons and the like, Vahn could potentially have everyone safely placed inside the orb and carry it with him. Though it was unlikely, it was even possible for him to engineer the orb in such a way that it may allow him to take the girls to other records with him in the future.

However, after thinking about this, Vahn realized it was a very bad idea because they would essentially be 'trapped' inside the small world he created for them. If something happened that caused the orb to fracture and destabilize, it would result in the deaths of everyone inside because their bodies wouldn't be sustainable in a foreign record. The goddesses, especially, couldn't leave the record at all unless Vahn found a way to strip them of their Divinity without damaging their soul. Since they were a 'product' of their Divinity, this was impossible unless Vahn was well versed with souls and had, at the very least, a Tier 5 soul himself. It was difficult to imagine even being Tier 4, much less Tier 5, so Vahn figured that was a dead end for the time being...

Vahn's quality time with the two rotund little kittens was brought to an end around 10 AM when Loki arrived outside the Manor accompanied by a homely looking goddess with curly orange hair and flax colored eyes and a very nervous looking man with light brown hair, brown eyes, and a healthy body. After reluctantly parting with Arnya and Aki, Vahn made his way out to meet them as they briefly introduced themselves and made their way to the Guest Residence. The goddess was known as Holda, possessing Divinities related to Agriculture, Sewing, and Weaving, while the man was her rather fortunate lover, Chris Heiland. Vahn was very interested in Holda's skills regarding sewing and weaving but decided against asking about it since it would make the situation even more awkward.

Once they reached the Guest Residence, Vahn sat with Loki on one sofa while Holda and Chris sat on the opposite side. Holda had a gentle smile on her face and said, "Sage Aldrnari, thank you for giving my Chris and I the opportunity to conceive a child. It is truly a blessing I had never thought to experience in all my many years..." Though it was generally a breach of etiquette to do so, Holda bowed as an expression of her gratitude while Chris became increasingly nervous by what was about to happen. However, when he spoke, Chris's voice was a deep baritone and there was an underlying confidence contained within as he said, "This is a kindness that will never be forgotten for as long as I draw breath. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be with the goddess I love as true a true man and woman. We..."

There was a deep love in Chris' eyes as he looked at Holda, an expression she shared as she completed his sentence, "We decided to get married after this...I know it may inconvenience you but, if you aren't busy at the time, please feel free to attend the ceremony." Vahn was about to agree without putting much thought into it, but Loki spoke out first, saying, "There are a lot of circumstances that need to be taken in consideration from the perspective of the Alliance, so we'll have to look into the matter before making any promises. However, even if Vahn himself can't show up, expect that a representative of the Alliance will be in attendance~." Holda smiled in understanding at Loki's words and said, "Yes, I believe that is for the best."

As the matter had been a closely guarded secret, Holda and Chris weren't entirely aware of what they needed to do for the 'ritual'. Because she couldn't 'afford' to pay the fees and offer up the requisite materials, Holda had agreed that her Familia would contribute fabrics to the Alliance over the course of the next ten years. It wouldn't hurt their business with their other client, as they weren't being asked to make clothing, so Holda had agreed to it without much thought. Her Divinity allowed her to weave a large amount of cloth in a very short period of time and it was exactly the type of material Vahn had been looking for to make some of his clothing designs. Loki was very aware of this and picked out a goddess that already had a long relationship and could produce high-quality fabrics. Though she knew Vahn had a bit of a 'preference' for various types of clothing, Loki herself was fond of such plays and wanted to 'enable' Vahn so she could benefit herself.

Loki explained the somewhat embarrassing process to the anxious couple and Holda was a bit embarrassed to know she would have Vahn touching her after she made love with Chris. He also didn't seem too fond of the idea, but Loki showed off her own 'crest' and claimed that Vahn would be very professional about the matter, even allowing Chris to be near throughout the entirety of the procedure. Though Chris still had a few inhibitions, there was no way Holda intended to leave without getting a baby in her belly. She was one of the younger goddesses, only around 290 million years old, but her desire for a real family was as prevalent as many of the first generation goddesses. Because he truly loved her, Chris had absolutely no way to resist the 'pleading' look from Holda and this set the mood for a passionate session between the two lovebirds in the safety of the underground chamber.

Vahn sat on the first floor with Loki laying across his lap using his arm as a headrest as she remarked, "It's a bit awkward waiting for a couple to do the deed while we just sit here, isn't it~?" He had just been thinking the same thing, so Vahn smiled and lifted Loki's chin before giving her a quick peck on the lips. To prevent her from misunderstanding, not that she was prone to such things, Vahn said, "I think it's interesting to see the love others share...but it makes me feel a little competitive and I want to pamper the girls around me a bit to compensate~."

Loki opened her eyes slightly and asked, "Oh~? And how exactly do you want to pamper this little goddess you so shamelessly knocked up~?" Vahn showed a teasing smile and said, "I have a great idea...how about you sit on my lap properly for a moment?" Interested to see what Vahn had in mind, Loki sat up with his assistance and rested her back against Vahn with a bit of curiosity rising up in her. However, instead of doing something more 'exciting', Vahn just reached his arms around her in a loose embrace and rested his left hand around her belly, stroking it in a small circle. Loki released a sigh, not out of disappointment, but as a result of the strangely contented feeling she had being held by Vahn.

Vahn nuzzled his face into Loki's neck and said, "Loki, thank you for always working so hard to make sure things are going smoothly. Now isn't the best time to show my gratitude, but I'd like you to free up some time this evening and I'll pay you a visit at the Twilight Manor..." Loki had been feeling very relaxed in Vahn's arms until she heard his words, causing her emotions to begin bubbling up with her excitement. She began to laugh in a playfully mischievous manner and said, "I'll free up the whole day if you like~." Vahn laughed and kissed the back of her head without responding directly to her words...

A few minutes passed in silence when Loki suddenly said, "You know, it might be more fun if you bring along some of the other girls...I have plenty of clothing that would suit them~." Vahn wasn't quite sure what Loki was thinking until she explained, "Even though I have a bit of confidence, I know I wouldn't be able to take care of you entirely on my own. If possible, you should try and convince Ais and maybe Anubis to come along with you...or maybe there is someone else you'd like to dress up? Me, personally, I had a bit of an interest in Ais in the past so I think seeing her trying on clothes would be interesting~." Vahn cocked his head to the side in thought before shaking his head and saying, "I don't think it would be good to ask Ais...she would probably say yes, but she has you listed as one of the girls she doesn't want to have that type of encounter with."

Loki already knew about this but she still released a plaintive sigh and had a bereaved expression on her face. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind when she was thinking about the girls she was fond of in the past so she smiled and said, "You should bring Aki over to the Manor then...she would probably be a bit embarrassed, but I think it would be good for her to talk with her old comrades. If you want, we can make it a small event with all the pregnant girls...kekeke, I can just imagine Hephaestus wearing a maid outfit...It makes me giddy just thinking about it!" Vahn had been considering Loki's words when the image of a bashful Hephaestus wearing a maid outfit appeared in his mind and caused his mental processes to come to a stop before he muttered, "That could be interesting..."

A peal of mischevious laughter escaped Loki's lips before it turned into a loud cackling that continued until Vahn licked the back of her ear, saying, "Don't tease the other girls too much, Loki. I don't want too many strange rumors to start circulating so I'll just stop by with Aki and Arnya since Tsubaki and Hephaestus are simply too well known throughout the City..." Loki had a small smile on her face as she considered Vahn's words and said, "Three girls is probably a good number, and its good that you're considering the reputation and status of everyone. Aki really should deal with Raul so it doesn't stress her out anymore and I think Arnya would be well suited to get out of the Manor more. You know, her brother has been causing a bit or problems within the Freya Familia after he found out she was pregnant..."

Vahn's brows raised slightly at Loki's words, prompting her to explain, "He is a bit of an idiot with a sharp tongue, but Allen Fromel still worries about Arnya, his last surviving family. He previously made an arrangement with Freya to protect her so he freaked out a bit when he found out she was pregnant and, not with just any man, but the man he hates more than anyone else, fufufu~." Without waiting for Vahn to ask any questions, Loki's smile turned slightly cold and she said, "Many of the Elite members of the Freya Familia have a powerful envy towards you, some even outright hating you...they are afraid you will take away their goddess from them, even though she was never their's to being with. When Freya chose Ottar as the father of her child, their resentment shifted to him, but you should expect it will be focused on you when they find out that Freya has no interest in having any of their children."

Though it was a difficult situation, Vahn could understand why they would be angry with him, even though he thought their mentality was kind of foolish. Even if Freya tried to pacify them, not that she had any obligation to, that would require her to spend nearly twenty years being pregnant just so her current 'children' wouldn't resent others. This obviously wasn't acceptable, especially by Freya herself, so Vahn expected things would be a bit tense within her Familia in the future. Ottar seemed like a stable and reliable guy, while Freya herself was somewhat terrifying, so it shouldn't really be an issue. The biggest problem was the more independent members, especially Arnya's brother, Allen. He was probably the reason Arnya had been afraid to get close to men in the first place because, even though he had 'abandoned' her, he was still very overprotective of his little sister...

After around a half hour had passed, the mechanism for the elevator activated so Vahn and Loki left the 'comfort' of the sofa and went to intercept Chris. He had a flushed face and an awkward expression as he wiped away his sweat and said, "We're ready...please treat my goddess well, Vahn.." With a serious expression on his face, Vahn pat Chris on the shoulder and said, "Leave it to me, Chris. I won't do anything strange and you'll be leaving this place as an expecting father. It's a bit early, but congratulations on both your wedding and the birth of your child." Though he already knew what Vahn was saying was true, Chris had a dazed and slightly silly expression on his face as he processed the very pleasant and exciting words.

Vahn had a confident smile on his face as they took the short elevator trip down to the underground chamber but it quickly froze up when he saw the rather beautiful Holda supported near the edge of the bed he had set out for them wearing nothing but pale purple lingerie. She had just finished making love with Chris so her complexion was slightly flushed with a thin layer of sweat covering her body. Vahn felt like, even though she wasn't pregnant yet, she was already glowing with the signs of a woman deeply enamored with the man she loved. He activated his [Will of the Emperor] to avoid any stray thought and immediately experienced a cooling sensation that made him feel calm, confident, and focused.

Holda blushed a bit deeper when Loki and Vahn showed up, but she did her best to stay calm even though the atmosphere was very tense. She had no idea what to say in this type of situation as even 290 million years hadn't prepared her for something like being strung up by golden chains in front of onlookers. Loki apparently wanted to break the tense atmosphere a bit so she smacked Chris hard on the back and said, "Go comfort your little wife, fool. Holda, just relax your body without thinking about it too much. Vahn might have to touch your body, but you'll get over it soon enough and have a bun in the oven to celebrate with your little husband later on. Now, hurry up and get this over with~!"

With Loki's insistence, Holda did her best to relax as she held hands with Chris. Vahn walked over and maintained a calm and professional demeanor as he 'casually' grabbed Holda's hips and activated his [Eyes of Truth]. Chris frowned when he saw this because it was like watching another man firmly eye the delicates of his soon-to-be wife. However, he didn't want to upset Holda so he focused on her face and did his best to comfort her as Vahn moved her body from side-to-side before tracing his index finger around her lower back. Seeing another man carve a crest into Holda's body made Chris feel a strange sense of defeat but he knew it was 'necessary' to give Holda the happiness she had sought for a greater amount of time than he could even imagine.

After a few minutes, Vahn finished the procedure and placed his index finger in the center of the crest he had carved to conceal it. He heard Chris release a slightly relieved sigh when it vanished and this made Vahn feel especially awkward since the mark really wasn't necessary. However, being able to track the goddesses that had undergone the procedure was a very helpful thing to do and Vahn needed to remain consistent so that their little scheme wasn't exposed. Thus, after casting one last glance of the relatively plump rear of Holda, Vahn looked to Chris and said, "It's done, congratulations." as he released his hands from the man's lover.

Chris had a somewhat serious look on his face but it was quickly replaced by relief and excitement as the chains supporting Holda eased up and disappeared. Vahn handed them another set of towels and a change of clothing before saying, "We'll be waiting on the first floor if you want to ask any other follow-up questions..." So as not to unnerve the couple any longer, Vahn had already turned away after handing them the set of towels. He didn't get that far, however, before Holda called out, "Wait, Vahn Mason..." and brought him to a stop. Vahn turned around slowly to see what she was up to only to witness green and white petals forming around Holda's body as she wore her raiment.

Holda's raiment looked like a delicate multi-layered dress that reached all the way to the floor and had a very natural and homely feel to it. Loki showed a somewhat envious look, as her own raiment was somewhat 'awkward' to wear, and clicked her tongue. Holda laughed at Loki's expression and affectionately stroked Chris's face before she walked forward and stopped right in front of Vahn. With an incredibly serious expression, somewhat offset by her gentle smile, Holda said, "Truly, I can never thank you enough for what you have done for us this day..." With her words finished, Holda reached forward and embraced Vahn very tightly, causing him to freeze up and immediately look to Chris who, surprisingly, didn't seem upset or surprised. After a few seconds, Holda pat his back a few times before releasing him and saying, "If you need the assistance of the Holda Familia, please let me know and I'll see to it personally."

Vahn could tell that Holda was just expressing her good will because, after touching her earlier, he could see that her affection for him was only 57(Trust). Her aura was also very stable, so he smiled and said, "Yes, though I can't offer the support of the entire Alliance, please let me know if there are any issues during your pregnancy. I'm a capable physician and I'll do my best to ensure that the child is healthy..." Holda smiled vibrantly and rubbed her own belly before Chris stunned Vahn by asking, "Will we be doing the delivery here?" Before Vahn could get a chance to process what Chris just asked, Holda nodded her head and said, "Yes, I believe Vahn is the best suited to the task since his skills are likely far greater than anyone else's...isn't that right, Loki?"

Loki was giggling at Vahn's reaction but she nodded her head at Holda's question and said, "Yes, since we have some concerns about the first generation of children that will be born to goddesses you can come to the Hearth Manor when the time comes for the delivery. We don't talk about it too much, but Vahn is known throughout the upper echelons of the Alliance as the 'Godhand' because of his medical skills. We'll also have capable midwives present and you can be absolutely certain things will go smoothly if you choose to rely on us~!" This was already something that had been arranged previously, as they knew Vahn would offer to help out of concern regardless, but Loki still found his reaction priceless.

Chris supported Holda's shoulder and had a very loving expression in his eyes as he stroked her belly. It quickly changed to gratitude when he looked at Vahn, even though there was a part of him that had an urge to pick a fight with the boy. However, resisting the urge, Chris said, "We'll rely on you when the time comes..." before guiding Holda away without wasting too much time. Vahn had expected to sit on the first floor and talk for a bit, but he could somewhat understand why Chris would want to quickly extricate himself from this rather awkward situation. Loki and Holda laughed in their characteristic ways as they also understood what Chris must be thinking...
