Opportunity presents itself

It's funny the wording of two parties present, as one party can be more than one orc, or in this case... One Orcess watching from the other couch.

Mimicking Xa'Gun's throat clearing, Demze cleared her own... This prompted both Hellie and Xa'Gun to look across from them.

"You know... You can be so bold when you don't think anyone is watching, dearest sister..." Demze spoke with a catty tone as her eyes shined in the darkness prior to the first rays of light to touch the valley.

Hellie quickly let go of the firm member in her grasp, as she attempted to hop off of Xa'Gun. She was successful in escaping the compromising position, but it did cost Xa'Gun a knee to his stomach.

"I-Ummm... I need to take a quick shower..." Hellie bounced off to the burrow's bathroom, leaving Xa'Gun who was grimacing from the belly blow and Demze.

Xa'Gun rolled up to a seated position, as he rubbed his tender, but large stomach from the pain.

"So..." Demze followed Xa'Gun's actions with her eyes.

"So, what? I'm going to go lift weights... Leave me alone."

Demze watched as Xa'Gun stood up and left through the back door of the burrow. She then sighed to herself, while hanging her head in the dim light of the burrow.

*******

Hellie walked back into the Burrow's foyer after her bath. She spotted Demze still sitting on the couch.

"How odd..."

Demze looked up to find Hellie standing before her in only a towel, the water dripping off her muscles.

"Is it always such a good idea to not dry properly before slinging water all over the burrow, Sister?"

"Blah, I like to drip dry, but what's wrong with you?" Hellie asked in a concerned tone.

"Thinking my next steps to my goal, I suppose... I think I've been distracted recently." Demze confessed as she sighed again.

"Ah...? I understand... I believe that- I may be distracted- too..." Hellie hesitantly spoke...

"Oh, is that before or after you grabbed his Peen?"

"I-I... I just woke up, and my hand happened to be there-"

"And you thought, hey, since no one is around, I'll use my hand to make him feel great, huh?"

"No, no, no! I mean, yeah, but no! I mean, it's not like he entered me! It would have been a happy ending, and that-"

"And then you would have been wanting more than scrubbing on him, and next thing you know, you break your promise to yourself... Wasn't it when he became the strongest or was it when he becomes the champion of the slave pits?"

"Ch-Champion of the slave pits..."

"Why did you make such a stupid deal, to begin with..." Demze finally asked her intended question.

Hellie looked down at the floor, with her hands folded over her bath towel, "...Well... I mean... I thought he was human... and... Well... I was already attracted to him... and I don't mind if he's human... I thought, 'hey, if he's still the strongest, then I don't mind,' but since Slugga, I promised myself I wouldn't be so easy... After all, you called me... I had to come up with something for him to prove he's worth my time and my body... So... It seemed like a good idea to have him fight to be the slave pit champion... I mean if he died, what difference does it make, but then... He turned out to be an Orc, and he doesn't mind that I've laid with another... So now... So now... I... ya know..."

Demze massaged her temples listening to Hellie, "In the end, you want to toss your idea out the window and just sleep with him already... That about sum up your nonsense?"

"...yeah... But, but-"

"But, you don't want to be a whore, and you want to keep your promise. You're not sure if you can..."

"...yeah..."

Demze's hands paused on her temples as a thought occurred to her.

"If memory serves me, Slugga's exile ends in three months... Correct?"

"...yeah???"

"He could come back stronger, you know. He did say he would win you back when he returned."

"Pfft~ Slugga... I don't know why I thought he was the one. Using poisons... Blah!" Hellie folded her arms shaking the last of the water on her arms, while she stood in a ring of water on the burrow's floor.

"And he should return right before the final matches for the slave pits... Yes..."

"What are you thinking?" Hellie grew concerned.

"Dearest baby sister, you should listen..."

"Don't baby sister me... We were born minutes apart."

"Be that as it may, dearest baby sister after Gun-Gun wins the slave pits, he'll need to beat down any suitors and your old flame, and the end, right?"

"Well... I don't want Slugga to poison my Tin Can..."

"We'll make sure that doesn't happen."

"Yeah, okay fine... But... How do I stop myself from ya know... with Xa'Gun."

"Well, riding him in your sleep isn't helping."

"...no..."

"This might sound counter-intuitive, but... You need to stop being around him so much... If you think about it, the more you are around the more chances there will be for your panties to fall off."

"SISTER!" Hellie shouted, in a rare display of shyness.

Demze shrugged her shoulders, "I'm not the one grabbing hold of him so early in the morning while rubbing herself on him."

"..."

"Take some time to go out with your girls... Since you've fallen for Gun-Gun when was the last time you went training with your gang."

"...Well... You know we haven't been close since Slugga... ACK! I swear everything is his fault!"

"How about making amends with them, and party for a while. I'll give you some coin to take them out for a while. Nothing like making friends over mead... Isn't that what you always say?"

"...yeah... But..."

"I'm not saying don't come back here, or never see him again, idiot... Come during dinner and eat with us, and don't fall down with your butt up for him... Is all I'm saying."

"...That... Yeah... That might be for the best... But who's going to watch him while he trains?"

"I'm sure Uncle Jukzuk can do it."

Hellie nodded a few times.

"Ah, true... Well... This is going to be a pain to talk to the girls again... Zorra flat out called me a whore after Slugga..." Hellie sighed.

"In my room, go to the desk and open the top drawer on the right. There will be a small bag of gold. Take it and use it for what ya need to patch things up with them. They're simple girls... You all were friends for a long time. I'm sure you can make things right. Talk to them about Gun-Gun, but whatever you do, do not let them see him, or we will have Slugga the sequel."

"...Did you actually make a joke???"

"Yeah... I did." Demze snickered.

"...Okay... Well, Imma go get my armor and head out..."

A few minutes later, Hellie walked by in her armor, and spoke as she was leaving, "Tell my Tin Can I'll be back for dinner."

"Will do."

[Perfect... Now I have him to myself, for a while.] Demze rose and went to the bathroom to complete her next set of plans.
