Vaa's insatiable appetite sted several rounds. Her crazed pleasuring pulled four more asms for her own part, and two more for Natalie. The tter were clearly an afterthought. Vaa's desperate throat-fug was more for her own sake than Natalie's. That said, she had certainly ehe ride.

  But, finally, the pink liquid filtered out of her system. The two of them y on their backs, sweating and panting for air.

  "Okay," Vaa groaned. "I think—I think it's gone now. I'm back to normal."

  "Gd to hear that," Natalie panted in response.

  They took another mio recuperate. Eventually, they sat up, and Natalie rubbed her forehead as she eyed the irl, half expeg to be pounced despite the assurances. But Vaa rose unsteadily to her feet and shuffled over to grab her discarded armor, indig it really was over.

  "We should talk about that, though," Natalie said.

  "Y-Yeah. Probably." Vaa slipped on her panties, leaving her pants on the floor. Sitting cross-legged, she faatalie, heat rising on her cheeks. "That was more than I bargained for."

  Natalie agreed, though it hadn't been some worst case sario. Everything had ended well, she thought. Just been a bit—much.

  "You alright?"

  "Fine." Vaa didn't meet her eyes. "Sorry if I was—uh, pushy."

  Natalie paused, then smirked. She was gd to see that Vaa wasn't disturbed, just embarrassed by her eagerness.

  "Don't get me wrong," Natalie said. "I like pushy, if it's you being pushy about getting my dick down your throat."

  Vaa blihe her eyes, indignation sparking. Natalie ughed—that had been her goal. Crudeness did tend to work on spurring a rea out of this girl.

  "I was talking menerally, though," she said before Vaa could growl at her. "I didn't think aphrodisiacs were oable. Er, well, I khey might. Kinda obvious. But we should've talked about what to do in that situation."

  Vaa hesitated, then bit her lip and looked away. "Yeah. But you ha—fine. So."

  "Fine?"

  "You were a gentleman about it, okay? Thank you for not … you know. Taking advantage of me."

  Natalie pursed her lips at even the implication that she might have, but she khat hadn't been what Vaa had meant. She nodded in aowledgment.

  "But you're not mad that we did anything, with you like that?" Natalie asked carefully. That'd been her real question.

  Vaa blinked. "Of course not. I doubt I would've let you just sit around. Something o happen. My head was—messy." She coughed. "You ... deflected. Stopped me from doing too much. So thank you for that."

  Messy. A funny way to describe the addled state she'd been in.

  "Okay," Natalie said. "But what if we'd both been promised? That might happen."

  Vaa hesitated.

  Natalie leaned frabbing her ankles and looking ily at her partner. "I only want what you want to give. And I knew you were—affected. So I moderated myself. But what if I'd been pumped full of that stuff too?" She coughed. "Because it wasn't that I didn't want to take you up on the offer. I just knew you weren't your normal self. But if I'm not thinking straight …"

  "I get the point."

  Vaa silently studied her for a few moments.

  Before shrugging and standing.

  "I won't bme you if that happens," she said, waving a hand dismissively. "I'd like to decide for myself when we ... take the step." She squirmed at addressing the situation so directly, then blushed as she realized the implication she'd made. "I mean, if we take that step. Don't get any ideas. But if it's out of our hands, then it's out of our hands. I won't be upset." She waggled a finger. "Don't use that as an excuse, though. Try to fight it. But, you know, whatever."

  "You sure?" Natalie asked. "We just leave, if the risk is too much. That's always an option."

  Vaa was already pulling on her pants. "What happens, happens," she repeated. "We've only gotten through two enters. Elida is expeg us ba a few hours, since we want to get another raid done. So no more wasting time."

  Natalie frow the irl for a few moments before a smile slowly slipped onto her lips. Clearly, having her first time taken—by Natalie herself, at least—wasn't that big of a deal. While she doubted either of them wa to happehey were both affected by an aphrodisiac, it wasn't much of a deterrent to Vaa. Maybe one of the more roundabout endorsements she'd gotten.

  She rose and began slipping on her own clothes.

  Before turning the er aing off deeper into the Pace Basement, they eyed the hallway of vihey'd returo dormancy. Holy, they'd been less avaricious than she'd expected. They'd only drawn one asm out of her before tossing her aside, and zero out of Vaa.

  Speaking of that, why? They'd groped Vaa a bit, but after dosing her with aphrodisiac, they had lost i. For what reason?

  To set Natalie up? By throwing an addled hot and bothered Vaa at her?

  Surely the dungeon wasn't trying to be her wingman.

  Begrudgingly, she would admit that, whatever the case, she appreciated the vines for that. Or maybe the City or the dungeon in general, sihey were behind their summoning. Because those asms Vaa had sucked out of her had beey incredible. While she preferred Vaa to be of sound mind when they 'ied', it had definitely been a unique experieo have the irl boung her head up and down her cock with that level of desperation. And she doubted she'd get to see the girl ag so unabashed again.

  Unless another simir sario cropped up again. Which wasn't impossible. Where there was ohere was often more. At least now that she and Vaa had discussed the possibility, she didn't feel as weird about it.

  Shaking her head, she turned and strode down the hallway. Turning the er, she saw that the corridor tinued for te before ending with a wooden door. Ihe room, she didn't find much. A barrel sat in the ter, with the usual empty shelves and expected celr decorations lining the walls. There were no nooks and ies monsters could be hiding in, so she rexed. Though the barrel's pt was suspicious. Something could be i. In fact, she'd be surprised if there wasn't.

  The top was already removed, she found out as she strode closer, hammer in both hands. Peering inside—half expeg something to jump out—she found that the entire tainer was stuffed with …

  Something green?

  "What is this stuff?" she asked, eyeing the barrel filled with green semi-liquid. "Is that … slime?"
