Audrey gets out her phone and calls Aurica.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Tabs. I wanted to have you over for a chat and maybe sex?"

"Sure, we can do that. See you in your room in a few minutes?"

"Works for me!"

And soon there is a knock on the door!

Audrey opens up wearing her scarlet dress. "Aurica."

Aurica is wearing a matching black one. "Tabs. May I come in?"

"Certainly." And she steps back to let her alt pass.

"You know, you can do more with these places than just keeping the stock room," says Aurica as she comes in and sits on the remaining couch. "You can get whole kitchen wings, one-way windows out onto the gardens, things like that. Make it more of a home away from home, you know what I'm saying?"

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense. It's only been a day for me, you know?"

"Yeah. What's with all the junk food?"

"Oh. I, um. I asked a girl out on a date and it didn't go so well. So..."

"Ah. To drown your sorrows, I see."

"I had Kumi come and pet me and handfeed me gummies."

"Lingering in littlespace is not how to resolve anything, dear."

"Made me feel better at least."

"There are better ways, Tabs."

"Like what?"

"Like talking it through, for one thing."

"...I guess I could tell you, you're literally me."

Aurica orders a crystal goblet full of apple orange peach juice and picks it up and swirls it. 

"Go on, tell me everything."

"So... I had a few scenes with this girl, Lily, and... She really likes pegging me. But we'd done doggy and missionary that way, so I thought for variety we'd do cowgirl, and that went fine. But I started - out-domming her? And sort of half-jokingly said we could maybe do missionary. With her on bottom. And she was undecided about that and said cowgirl first. And then she decided sure missionary, but her on top with her strap. And she cancelled coffee with me except she said she'd be fine with another time."

"It sounds like she likes you but not enough to bottom for you. She was tempted but she didn't go through with it. Stick to taking her strap and talk the rest through at your leisure on your date." She takes a slurp from her chalice. "It's not that complicated."

"Yeah, I thought you might say something like that."
