"Welco back, my love. Did you ladies have a good trip?" Karl greeted Dana as she walked up the stairs.
"We did. The wedding is set for one month from today, well, 29 days. I see that you were busy while we were gone. You found all sorts of new mbers and employees." Dana replied.
Karl held his arms open wide, encouraging Dana to sit on his lap while they talked.
"I did. The employees are forrly from a village in Drodh that was having issues with their neighbours. They’re taking care of the magical plants in the Tiny World.
The extra Guild mbers are all sculptors, tailors and blacksmiths.
Most of the tailors didn’t beco Guild mbers, they’re employees, but we did add one to the Guild Roster, just for the chance to learn more from Rae.
I will have to get her to go see them now that you’re all back.
Are you happy with how all the plans went? Still need to change anything?" Karl asked as Dana settled down on his lap and leaned against his chest.
"No, we covered everything to perfection.
I know that you weren’t there for it, but we had Rae, Remi and Cara, so it still felt like we were getting your input.
They know you pretty well."
Karl laughed at her response. Not only did they know him well, they could check his thoughts to see if he objected to random ideas. Despite the distance, they weren’t cut off from their link.
"You all returned just in ti. The Winter Social is in a few days, and the Guild Alliance is eager to get to show off.
I’ve made you ladies so new decorative accessories using the materials from the monthly delivery of goods that the last challenger’s guild dropped off. They ca out very well, and the master sculptors put in so overti so that they would be ready when you all returned." Karl explained.
He smiled when Dana squird in his lap, turning to face him properly.
"You didn’t do anything crazy, did you?" She demanded.
"Of course not. I only created a new set of accessories. Totem Rank, Epic Grade. They’re impressive, but I have made dozens more necklaces at that quality since you’ve been gone.
Most of the Mythic Team will be wearing them to the social to show off the fact that the Alliance has master crafters, but I’m told that it is as much a fashion show as it is a social event, so Rae is going to love it."
Dana smiled. It had been a good month to be Rae.
"Is there anything in particular that you would like for to make you? I know that Rae has plans for all of the major events, but not every event needs to be perfectly designed to Rae’s taste." Karl suggested.
Dana winked, then kissed his chin and whispered in his ear.
"The events I’m thinking of don’t need clothing. I’ve missed you."
Karl disagreed. Unwrapping his Dana was half the fun.
He wrapped an arm under her thighs and stood up, then opened a portal to their bedroom.
"Ladies, we will see you all tomorrow. Lotus, the Tiny World’s entrance is open in the Gargoyle Garden, not far from the portal to Drodh. If you want to et the rest of the employees, that is."
Dana laughed as Karl’s hand began working the buttons on her top before they were even through the portal, and then she sighed in relief as they were finally alone again.
Soft silk slid down her arms, then vanished into her inventory as Karl removed it from her body.
She had always been weak to his touch, but today the effect was on an entirely new level. Every touch sent shivers through her body, and the mont that his tongue caressed her skin, making gentle swirls as Karl kissed his way from her neck downward, her mind went completely blank.
Dana wled in pleasure as Karl showed her just how much he had missed her presence, but her mind betrayed her before she could tell him the sa.
Just as she opened her mouth to speak, the pleasure washed over her, and her consciousness faded. The next thing she knew, she was under the covers, draped across Karl and the sunlight was streaming in their window, aning that he had brought her to the Drodh Guild House, not to their room in the Alliance house.
"What exactly was that last night?" She muttered to herself, blinking the sleep out of her eyes.
Karl rumbled in amusent beneath her. "Well, if you don’t know, then I’ve been doing my job all wrong."
Dana swatted his chest. "Not that, you big idiot. It was like my whole body was electrified, and my mind went blank, then I just passed out. I’ve never felt anything like it before."
Karl paused, carefully reviewing everything that had happened the evening before.
He had been ditating to improve his understanding of the Fundantal Rule of Mana Manipulation when the ladies returned, so maybe that had sothing to do with it?
A mont of focus brought him back to that post ditative state, with energy flowing through him, but Dana had no response.
However, when he ran his hand across her belly, she moaned in pleasure, and Karl felt the energy in her body shift. That was it! He was unconsciously altering the mana in her body to follow his will, but the effect was stronger than she could handle.
So, if he was going to continue using the trick, he would have to practice.
[Does this count as learning a new Technique?] Opal asked from her space.
[That depends on whether he can turn it into a nad skill, or if he just turns Dana into a puddle while trying.] Remi replied.
Karl tuned the pair out. If they wanted to be nosy, he would just ignore them.
Besides, turning this into a skill just might make him the most popular man on the planet if he taught it to others.
