"Yeah, I'll think about it. I want to stay in CORA for a while first though. Get used to my new home."

"Want to give me spoilers for any of the others?

She hums, smirking playfully. "Maya is a turbosub and masochist, despite how dignified and elegant she is."

"Ooh, fun." Hyacinth plants her staff on a rock and lets it push her forward. "Neo? Ruby?"

"Neo sees fighting and sparring as foreplay, and is into CNC. Ruby likes her weapons in a bit more than the usual way, and will fucking melt if you call her 'sis' when you kiss her."

Hyacinth gives a thoughtful nod. 

"You know, new world... maybe new family? We're already moving in together, so if Ruby wants me to call her sister..." 

She raises an eyebrow. "I mean, I already proposed it earlier when I didn't even know, you know?"

She cackles again. "Oh you are a gem. Everyone in here is blushing now. Yeah, I think this is going to go just fine."

"Oh good. I do like being convenient." 

Hyacinth casually checks her inventory for her coin balance. "Incidentally, I was wondering how much money we've got between the two of us — between the bounties and the inn stays and the materials and gear I've no clue what our budget looks like."

"Let's see..." Hailey does a bit of mental math. "We had a hundred crowns before you showed up, the wolves paid ten, as did the goats, then fifty for the bear, and another twenty we'll get shortly for the moose. We've paid out... eleven crowns seven silver so far. So that means by the time we get back to the inn we'll be looking at a hundred sixty-eight crowns between us."

"That's five months of pure inn stay. If we were to get, like, an actual house or apartment I bet we could cover it for a year easily. Adventurer economy's kind of funky, huh?" 

She tilts her head. "You know, I think I like it better this way. Go kill a bear, get two month's rent. I can super live with that deal. Sure, I sometimes almost die, but I come back, you know?" 

Hyacinth flashes a little smile. "Sure, it's not UBI, but c'mon now."

Hailey laughs and nods. "Yep. Having to murder monsters for our rent is a small price to pay for getting to look this hot all the time," she gestures indicatively at them both, "am I right?"

Hyacinth laughs, then nods. "Yeah, pretty much."

"So what about you, Sin? What are you into?"

"Iiiiiiiiii..." 

Hyacinth looks away. "D/S stuff, mostly. I — definitely would like to try some S&M stuff sometime too, I've said that. I just — you were my first, genuinely. Never felt comfortable before I put this body on, and everyone could see it. So..."

She blushes. "... I, um. Was pretty predictably into forcefem stuff... some of it kind of rough... and I've read a decent chunk of hentai including some actual sex education material... it was kind of a... special interest of mine. And the more I learned the more I wanted to be... hot like the girls I read about..."

Hyacinth drops her face into her free hand and blushes helplessly. The fact that her other hand's occupied by her staff means she can't really hide her embarrassed face though.

Hailey snickers, smirks, and leans over to kiss Hyacinth's cheek. "Cute. Very cute."

This is really not helping the blush situation!

Hyacinth manages to speak up. "But yeah, um. I was really into... sissy hypnosis... And the kinks that come with that. Chastity, maid play, um, cuck stuff, humiliation, degradation... Being forced..."

Hailey grins sharply, cups Hyacinth's chin, kisses her deeply, and then nips her lower lip as she pulls away. 

"Well, now I've got an idea for what to do if we ever figure out how to run separate avatars simultaneously. Tie you up with your hand between your legs and make you watch while one Pirate fucks another into a mewling puddle."

Hyacinth lets out a flustered mewl and bites her lip and looks down at her feet.

Hailey just smirks, wraps an arm around her, and keeps walking. "Adorable."

... everything is still okay...?

She leans a little heavily on Hailey and tries to focus on where she's going.

Judging by the fond grin on Hailey's face and the tight squeeze she's holding Sin close with, all of this seems to have been taken as good news and prospective fun.

... She walks in silence for a little while. 

Even a well-intentioned cis person might not believe her if she said she was a girl, on this evidence. At least, she thinks so...

Her family certainly didn't believe her, and they didn't even know...

Eventually Hailey looks over and notices the expression on Sin's face.

"Wait a damned minute... I know that look. Are you shame-trapping yourself about this stuff?"

"Um... depends on what you mean by shame-trapping...?"
