"You... are just incorrigible, you know that..?"
Pushing the Demoness off of myself, I let out a huff and crawled backwards, away from her ravenous, gluttonous hands as I put space between us so that we could stop this here and now. We had things to do besides laze about all day, and while there was the obvious desire we both held to keep going we truly did need to stop, which was why Jahi so easily pulled away, sitting on her haunches and regulating her breathing as she cald herself down.
"Yeah, I know. Anput's making all those weapons, Leone's brewing potions... so what are we going to be doing?"
"I'm going to be enchanting those weapons if they want them enchanted or helping Leone brew all those potions. As for you... I don't think it really matters just yet now does it? I imagine the Sultana wouldn't mind a spar or having you pick her mind."
The Demoness gave a slight pout at that soft dig at her, and after a few seconds of staring at as she contemplated what she should do she just waved off and found her clothes, though when I rubbed the small of her back she glanced at with a small smile.
Cleaning ourselves off and getting dressed, we erged from our tent for the first ti in a long ti, the sun almost reaching its zenith as we apparently had taken a much longer ti than I had realized.
I made my way over towards Anput's signature stone forge and slipped inside, joining the Jackalkin inside and finding her standing before a half dozen newly forged blades that were all quite beautiful.
Hearing enter she turned and flashed a grin before resuming her hamring, eventually saying "I managed to work pretty quickly all things considered! I was gonna finish this one out and deliver 'em to their new owners before taking a lunch break. It is roughly noon, right?"
"It is. You managed to get this mana weapons forged this quickly? That's incredible."
"I know right? It'd be more impressive if two of them weren't simple daggers - one broad, one stiletto - and another wasn't a mace, which was honestly more of a glorified brick attached to a stick... But still, they were forged, so they count.
Anyways, yeah... I'm guessing you were coming over to offer your services as an enchantress, right? If so, the mace wants a simple weight increasing enchantnt while the stiletto and rapier want Wind Piercing enchantnts. Then that longer scimitar wants the typical suite - sharpness, durability, battery - and nothing else just yet since you don't have the ability to enchant with Fire Mana at this mont, right?"
I nodded, approaching the wall of weapons and carefully retrieving the four weapons that Anput told I needed to enchant before taking a seat out of the way as I prepared myself to aid my lover in fulfilling her obligations.

"Delayed again, huh? Thankfully it seems it's only by a handful of days, but still... has she ever shown up on ti?"
The Empress just gave a soft smile as she shook her head, making sigh as I got up from the table and said "Well, if that's the case I'll go and find sothing to do then, I guess. Unless there was sothing I was needed for..?"
These days spent waiting inside of the Palace doing nothing at all were... intriguing to ; I was so accustod to mountains of paperwork needing to be completed within the hour that having all this free ti was getting to .
There was only so many tis I could spar soone or so many books that I could actually bring myself to sit down and read... so of course I had been 'exercising' day in and day out in hopes of creating sothing again...
Whether or not that was going to be the case was a whole separate issue to be tackled simply by giving them both so more loving whenever I could, but for now I had little to actually do... but I was happy to have this break.
Getting a shake of the head from the Empress and having the various won sitting around either ignoring or shaking their heads as well, letting know that this eting was over and I was free to go.
There had been nothing to do so the waiting for the arrival of Lilith had been keeping excited for each day, but now that she had delayed her arrival by about a week I was back to doing more waiting, which ant I needed sothing to do.
Making my way back towards our room, I found both Ria and Julie lounging on the couch together with the children in their arms, the sight reinvigorating heavily as I moved to join them, scooping both Alessandra and Lakshmi into my arms with a grin.
It'd been far too long since I had finally accepted and began to yearn for achieving my dream of having children - truly having them, caring for them and watching them grow and not just the act of conceiving them - so actually being able to hold two little mortals that were my own was soothing on the soul.
Even if the little Elf half glaring at wasn't mine by blood, she was still my daughter, much like the other girl that had been born from Julie; they were all my children in so way, but I'd be lying if I didn't say the babbling, lavender skinned Demoness staring up at didn't take more of my attention.
I gave them both a kiss before lowering myself to the ground and letting them crawl free, with Alessandra making her way back to her own Mom while Lakshmi draped herself on my chest and began to sleep, making want to chuckle but forcing to hold it in as she drifted off instantly.
It was peaceful here, and the bliss was wonderful, though it was tempered and darkened by the knowledge of what was happening over in the Sultanate, sothing that I tried to keep myself as inford of as possible; a letter was due soti soon though, so I was hoping the news was good.
If I had known how good it was I definitely wouldn't have been as restless that night, that's for sure... but I don't think Ria or Julie complained too much about that, nor were they wanting to stop anyti soon either~!
