"Did Taharqi explain anything at all about us?"

"Nope," shrugs Sendhei. "Just that some magic sent you here from very far away and you wanted to meet more friendly faces."

"Yeah, that is the quick version. We have magic that lets us absorb and then complicate things." He waves at the grid of materials they laid down on the tent's floor.

"And have come in contact with several things we managed to duplicate that are useful."

Gabe takes this opportunity to show the video they showed Taharqi last night.

Sendhei was about to say something but he stops when he sees the video and then immediately gets a boner. "What," he says, weakly.

"We can use this to record sex and then show the recording later."

"It records sights and sounds. Not just sex. And before we get into another orgy, I want to explain some things first."

    "Another?" asks Sendhei, turning to look at Taharqi, who merely grins and shrugs.

"Can you blame me?"

    "Yes." He pouts.

"I have never explained this before. So I don't know the common questions... our crystals can duplicate people too. Gabe and I - but not Thomas - are one of many copies to come out of a crystal that wasn't working properly and we don't know how to make it stop. A chunk of that crystal came with us and it might still be making more."

"There are like dozens of them stuck on a island with a bunch or non-copied people like me."

"...the orgies you must get up to there would definitely rank up in the hottest things in my life, hands down," says Taharqi, and Sendhei is just slack-jawed at the thought.

There are now two boners present in this conversation.

"You got it right. Gabes have a sex club and everything."

"We Gabes are very proud."

New video, it starts with a close-up of a butt being used as a bongo. Then the shot widens to reveal a line of Gabes using a line of mostly naked Gabes as bongos. The video pans to a tied Gabe surrounded by a mix of Henries and other men.

Sendhei laughs at that one. "That's... such a weird thought."

"The tied up one is my Gabe. We were celebrating the day we emerged from the crystal." He pets Gabe's hair.

    "Awwww. That's cute."

"I could use multiple Sendheis..." says Taharqi thoughtfully.

    "You could?"

"It would be hot!"

    "You don't fuck me that often," says Sendhei, pouting again.

"Well I get busy. More of me would be useful, too."

"...we could try but it would take a while. We mostly self-taught on how to use our magic and this crystal is unusual for duplicating automatically without stopping."

"Not everyone takes nicely to being a clone."

"But it would be very hot. Fucking yourself is an underrated experience."

"I think it's not really a rated experience, so much. And it was mostly idle thinking, I did not have specific plans about acquiring clones."

Gabe mock pouts.

"Anyway, so our future plans will depend on what happens in a few months - maybe sooner - if clones emerge from the thing. So we will want to settle down somewhere that can accommodate our growth rate."

"The highlands are rather spacious."

"Could be the case you'd have us - multiple us - as neighbors. But we might be getting ahead of themselves. Another piece of... news is that Gabes sometimes find a place between worlds shaped like a tavern. With people from many worlds. It's how we got people like Thomas."
