"-Um, yes?? Actually, I kind of quit? Not because of you! Well, not only. They were making such a big fuss about it and yelling and I just - it showed me what kind of people I was working for and what I could expect going forward, so, uh. F- Forget that." He laughs nervously.

"They kinda suck, huh? Sorry it went down like that."

Ame steps a little closer.

"So, how were you planning to spend all your new free time?"

"-Ah - well - most of the current job market is construction that I'm pretty unsuited for, or service and sales," (glance) "Which isn't quite my Skill list, I'm hoping to find an internal clerk position for some of the merchant groups coming here, or maybe a scribe or artist job? What about you? I mean, obviously you're an Adventurer. I mean - for a hobby, I guess. Ameron Lavere, right?" He smiles uncertainly.

"Yep. Call me Ame. What's your name?"

She slips to his side, taking his arm and pressing her boob against it as she starts them walking again.

"Samuel Obrum. Sam. Sure, um. Ame." She didn't answer his question? He is generating Guesses. He is not going to say them out loud. "Um. W...ould you like to go somewhere a bit quieter?"

"That's the idea," Ame agrees easily as she guides him down the street. "I'm sure you barely had time to enjoy it when you touched me yesterday. Lucky I ran into you, it'll be nice to finish convincing your senses that you didn't just imagine that, huh? I wouldn't call it a hobby exactly, but, I do like to take it upon myself to care about that kind of thing."

"I'd honestly almost forgotten about that?" This is a blatant lie. "Or, everything about it was just so stressful I've been trying not to think about it, because uh. It's not the sort of thing that people just do very often."

Blush 2: The Blushening commences.

"Yeah," Ame giggles. "I am sorry that caused such a mess. All I wanted was to make sure you knew, that I wasn't just teasing or humoring you, y'know? But now I kinda wish I'd done something worth that much mess. Probably they would've just escalated the unreasonableness if I had, though."

"I mean, it was kind of scary at the time? Uh. I was pretty distracted by you, but they warned us over and over that adventurers can get angry and unpredictable..."

What, was he expecting her to pull some tsundere entrapment shit? Damn it, that's probably actually happened. Blarg.

Ame gives him a wry smile. "I'm very predictable." In this one specific way, anyway. "My sexy body is never off-limits. And I don't like to let anyone go on assuming it is."

While he's focused on her, Ame is steering him toward a certain establishment.

"Um. I guess that's an opinion. I've heard of girls who, um. It's a bad idea to assume that kind of thing though?"

"Unfortunately," Ame agrees, as they step over the threshold into a certain tea shop.

"That's why I try to make it obvious I'm one of the rare exceptions. Of course, if you don't want to wait for a rare exception, there are safer ways," Ame says as they come to a stop.

The tea shop is cozy and warm and understatedly pink, with wooden flooring and walls, half a dozen round tables arranged around the room, a half-wall opening into a kitchen painted bright yellow where sweet scents waft from, lots of soft chairs and decorative trim, and sketches and paintings of floral scenes decorating every wall, plus a door leading further back simply labeled 'Rooms' in a brass plaque.

"Ah. Um. I thought it wasn't just... Tea. I overheard people talking about the - waitresses. Not officially, but. I would have been mortified. To be wrong. And I have no idea how to..." He waves his hands vaguely. "And now I'm basically asking a girl how to hire a whore, what the fuck*?"

Lily raises an eyebrow at Ame. A slim blonde grins and waves and walks towards them bouncily.

*"Why is there a dragon in my house?"

Ame returns the grin and also winks at Lily.

"I'm literally the best girl to ask that question in the whole world probably," Ame says with a laugh.

To the slim blonde, "Hey. I'm gonna fuck this boy. Wanna help? I just watched him make like three passes trying to work up the courage to come in here."

"Oh wow, right to the point huh! Not even some tea or cookies to get comfy? We have great cookies!" Her approach transitions smoothly into a big hug for Ame. "I'm Chrysanthemum! Chris for short. I could just give you a kiss for helping Lily! But if you want me to 'kiss' him instead..." She unhugs and makes eye contact briefly with Sam, leaning forward and rolling back and forth on her feet so he gets an eyeful of cleavage while she's at it. "Yeah, he's kinda cute. Friend of yours?"

Sam, meanwhile, seems to have frozen up completely.

Yuri fanservice hug!

"My good deed for the day," Ame replies wryly. "He's shy, but the kind of shy with horny spilling through the cracks. So if I can give him a confidence boost and land you all a new customer at the same time, well, sidequest fucking accepted."

"Oh, wow. She's right, you don't have to be afraid of your desires! Just remember, you're paying for the room, and if we happen to follow you there that's nobody's business but ours, yeah? It's a little stupid, but that makes it totally legit!" She winks and does a weird salute-like gesture, cocking her hips out dramatically for a skirt-swish. She never seems to stop moving at all.

"Y-You're right that I'm horny. You're both hot and I - can't quite believe this is happening?"

"It's your lucky day, yep! Special discount on a room for you and Ame today, just... 13 copper for an hour and a half room rental! Less for less. They're lovely rooms you know, very nicely appointed and totally soundproof. What's your name, cutie?"

"S-Sam. Um, I'm honestly kind of nervous, this is - fast-"

"Oh, you'd usually take a shower in the room and relax a bit first. But feel free to sit down and order something too! The prices aren't inflated or anything, Rose cooks everything herself, it's lovely. Level 14 cookies aren't half bad, you know?"

"Sounds tasty. Are we allowed to eat in the room?"

Ame fishes out thirteen copper even as she drapes herself over Sam's shoulders, pressing her breasts into his back (and carefully balancing the giant backpack so he doesn't feel it).

"And in my experience," Ame says in low, sultry tones, "the moment to slow down is right before the point of no return... so you can feel safe you won't miss anything, able to savor every last hot, slick, soft, undulating, squishy, and lurid detail."

Oh, you're good, Chrysanthemum doesn't say out loud. "Sure! Cleaning cantrips take all of ten seconds, after all."

"I, I-" Sam shakes his head. "-I'm at least going to pay for it, Ameron," he huffs, shivering from the contact, "Let me do that much."

Ame shifts, returning to Sam's side so she can smile at him and visibly hand over six copper.

She drops five back into her pouch and holds up the remaining two. "These're for me. I wanna try those cookies and take a batch back to my party."

"Sure! That'll get you seven cookies."

Sam subconsciously leans into Ame still and hands over seven copper of his own, and gulps.

"Mmkay, all set! Go ahead and get to room three. I'll be a few. Oh, and what's your name?"

"Sam. Call me Sam."

"Cool, now I know what to moan when you're in my cunt~ Heheh. Make sure to shower, Sam. And maybe keep him warm for me, Ame~"

"See you soon," Ame says to Chris.

Ame and Sam proceed to room three.

Hey it's me,

She hears Chris's voice as if it's just behind her right ear as they enter a room with a nice dresser, thick carpet, and a huge bed with surreptitious bondage gear mounts.

Think about talking to me specifically to reply. Wanna talk strategy on him before I come in, or just figure it out as we go? Oh and if you explain consent it'll save some time.

Ame manages not to startle, disguising it as her spinning around to grab and shut the door. She give Sam a smile over her shoulder as she heads over to the dresser. She takes off the Supporter Backpack, and sets it down with a wall-shaking thud. Under it is her shiny new shield, which she takes off and sets on top, revealing that under that is her normal strappy compact backpack, which she slips off also to finally reveal her fishnet-clad back.

"If I turn around, are you going to be distracted from looking at me by me looking at you?"

Ame starts unfastening her sword sheath, still facing the dresser, her hips slowly, deliberately swaying.

Cool Skill. And a little of both, probably. I want to encourage him to act on his impulses, first, as much as possible. Break through the barrier of this-isn't-allowed that's been trained into him. We need to make him feel like this is something he's doing, not something that's happening to him, I think that'll be important for how he processes the whole experience. Once we manage that then we can start showing off why we're worth being paid, and hopefully have him coming back to you often as a good customer who respects the job.

You're the boss, sure. I like being on top - not even to dom, just to be doing and moving, I'm super restless - but the customer's instructions first. Dropping the link unless you have something else to say, costs a lotta mana.

"Wow, Adventurers, huh," He says of the backpack. "I don't think so...?" Sam says, staring at her back. "I should probably go shower like she said." He hasn't started undressing from his shirt and khaki style pants and Clerk Robes(tm), yet, though.
