"Hmm... where to begin..."
Resting on the couch and giving that languid, confident grin, my wife made roll my eyes as I gestured at the larger Felinekin that sat beside her, saying "Probably with the appearance of this massive woman. What happened, who is she, and why is she here?"
"Hmm... Well, Sarnai here is a forr rcenary and potentially a cultist that tried really~ hard to kill ~!"
I took a long, deep breath and began to rub at my temples as I listened to Rhefia’s flippant ’explanation’, my headache only getting sowhat worse when this Sarnai interjected to say "I was not a cultist! Just a rcenary. I didn’t really care for all that Goddess mumbo jumbo; I worship Tigreseta, Goddess of Feline Ferocity!", which made roll my eyes again.
"Whover you worship is of no concern. Why, pray tell, is a rcenary that attempted to kill you sitting on our couch like she did no wrong?"
"Oh, probably because I gave Rhefia the ride of her-!"
Sari let out a warning hiss that made Sarnai blink a few tis in confusion, only for her ears to twitch and her tail to swish around in that adorable manner - which was made even more adorable thanks to her being so Goddess damned massive for a woman - as she glanced at all of the little ones, who were staring at her with curiosity.
"Ahem, what she ans to say is we fought, I won, and she cos from a tribe with so... fun little rules. Since she was a sort of leader of this rcenary company I wanted to ask her so questions, so I kept her alive and uh... she told about said rules, where I... y’know..."
Using her hands to loosely demonstrate that she had fucked the woman beside her, my wife gave a wide, proud grin as she added "And then I sorta went a little overboard and decided to keep her! Think, she’s all kinds~ of muscle, so she can help with labor or being a guard for the family!"
"But you got her pregnant."
The imdiate fading of her grin as she hesitantly said "Yeah, I got her pregnant." made narrow my eyes, though after a few monts I let out a long sigh and just said "As long as she understands her place now... or shall I make her understand?", which made Rhefia shrug.
"Either or works. She seems honest enough, she’s here now, and I don’t doubt the uh... ’strength’ of my soldiers, so... y’know..."
Sarnai seed confused, though when Rhefia gently put her hands over the little one’s eyes - as well as Sari, who was holding Aka - I gave her the reason, flashing a cold smile as I began to play around with a little blood, causing the large woman to shiver.
Fear seeped into her eyes that seed so misplaced considering the size difference between us, and honestly the lack of ever having to use force against people ant I never really got to understand just how ’scary’ Blood Magic was, but... well, now I got another look at it, I guess.
"Mm... Well, since you went ahead and made this decision alone, I shall make this one alone. Sarnai..."
Standing up and approaching her, I idly spun the blood around my hand as I stared into her eyes, enjoying the fear a little before pressing my hand to her brow as I sweetly said "Welco to the family~!" and made her just like Yiksa.

Aethisia PoV
Remaining out on the porch while everyone else went back inside, I swirled around the remaining wine before draining the glass completely to help my nerves, which were going haywire with how neutral both Camara and Gertrude were looking.
Beside was Sadie, wearing a calm, pleasant smile as she just curiously studied the two, and her presence was both a boon and a bane; on one hand she was calming with how unbothered she seed, yet on the other hand she was the reason for this...
Well, I was the reason for this, and trying to find the words to explain it to my sister and mate who was holding my child was just... I felt like... It was making feel so fucking pathetic as I stood here, not knowing what to say.
I was a horrible partner who couldn’t keep my dick in my pants and made decisions on a whim that suited and alone, never thinking about the future and just living in the mont; I felt like shit, yet after a mont Sadie just patted my arm before pushing forwards.
Now standing in the middle of the three, I took a deep breath and just... began to speak, explaining what happened over at the town, how Sadie and I t, what I felt about everything and just...
When I got to the parts about the darker emotions that I felt regarding the killings, I quieted myself since lia was asleep, and just staring at her made think about how any of the people I had killed could have had children of their own...
Sothing I was taking for granted that they might have been fighting for, or sothing that they just now were never going to get to experience because of my actions.
That was what seed to finally cause Camara to ’crack’ as that neutrality lted, while Gertrude just stepped forwards and stared in the eyes as she listened, only to eventually grab ahold of my chin and force to keep looking at her.
That caused to falter, and when I fell silent the Bearkin just continued to stare before she leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on my lips, though a mont after she pulled back she moved her hand from my chin to my cheek, specifically after she had placed a crisp slap on it...
I was a bit shocked by that, but when she just said "Your emotions cannot excuse everything, but they explain enough." I felt a little bit of relief coursing through , and I imdiately nodded and tried to speak again, only for Sadie to do so instead, the older woman smiling at the other two with warmth.
