Tail and Flirt

I stare at Tesk blankly.

'My tail glows? The f*ck? That's a thing?'

Taking in my blank look, Tesk's smile gets a bit strained. "So you didn't know... I was hoping you would be able to tell me, but it seems that it isn't going to be that easy. I do find it a bit strange that you don't even know about it though?"

She phrases her last words as a question, the implication obvious. So of course I respond with infallible logic.

"How much of what goes on with your back and ass are you aware of? It's not like I'm constantly checking myself out!" *Cough* Ignore that I plan to do exactly that when I get myself a room at the inn.

She blushes, "O-of course not! I-I was just wondering about why your father never thought to mention this to you before."

I shrug. "Dunno. Maybe he didn't know either and didn't think it was a big deal."

'Or he doesn't exist and I'm making everything up as I go along. Not gonna say that though.'

She clear her throat. "Well, seeing as that's the case, would you permit me to examine your tail? Perhaps we can find out the reason together."

I nod. "Sure, no reason not to. Unless this is your plot to lure me somewhere secluded to try and kidnap me."

She stares at me. I cough and look to the side.

"That was a joke."

"...Right."

Looking like she doesn't believe me, she gestures for me to follow and we head towards the request board.

My confusion clears up when I notice some stairs inset into the wall, hidden from view until you approach the board.

Seeing my shocked expression, Tesk chuckles. "The stairs lead up to a set of rooms where clients can meet up with adventurers, if either party wishes. It's pretty rare though, unless there's something specific about the request that either party is concerned about."

As start to climb, a small flash of light blinks in the corner of my vision. I look at it and see it glowing a soft green.

Tesk explains without prompting. "There's a barrier on the stairs to prevent people from just wandering up. Only guild employees and licensed examiners can enter. Should anyone without authorization try to climb up, a barrier will be erected to prevent them from advancing. If they try to force their way, another barrier is erected behind them and the air is rapidly ejected from the space. Once they're unconscious someone will drag them to the dungeons under the building."

I absorb the information easily. Basically it's a restricted area with a potentially deadly security system. My mind latches onto the last part though.

"You have dungeons under the guild? That's so cool! Why?" My eyes sparkle as I question her and my imagination runs wild as to what kind of dangerous beings they keep there, guarded at all hours by the might of the g-.

"It's not really a PROPER dungeon, per say. Its main use is for when adventurers get too drunk at the bar and try to cause trouble, It does get registered if you end up down there though, so watch your drinking!" There's a hint of mirth in her eyes as my ears and tail droop in disappointment.

They perk up a moment later as a thought strikes me. "What about the people who try to force their way up! They must be dangerous enough that the guild has guards watching them every minute!"

She snorts before quickly covering her mouth. She glances my way, but I just stare at her. Why would I care if she snorts.

She coughs before shooting me a smirk. "For the most part, the only people who try to force their way past the barrier are drunks. Honestly, I've only seen it activated once on a sober person. A merchant who thought he was more important than he was. Waking up from suffocation in a dungeon humbled him real quick."

My ears and tail revert to their droopy state. Tesk giggles.

By this time we arrive at the room she's been leading me to. She opens it and I enter, beholding a small room with two couches facing each other and a rectangular coffee table between them.

I choose to sit on the couch on the right, since right is right, and Tesk sits beside me.

She claps her hands and her eyes gleam when she looks at me.

"Ok, first I need you to lie on your stomach, place your lap on mine."

I do as instructed.

"Good, now I'm going to infuse mana into my hands and eyes to see and feel your tail while you cast a weak continuous wind spell. It may feel a bit unpleasant at first, but trust me, it'll start to feel pleasant as we continue."

I turn my head back to stare at her. She looks at me and we make eye contact. Holding it for a few moments I use a smidge of fire magic to heat up my cheeks, producing a blush. Then I lower my eyes and turn away.

My voice is quiet, "Please be gentle, it's my first time."

She looks at me for another moment, confusion clouding her eyes. Then she looks down at their position. I'm laying across her lap with her hands hovering over my ass. Her words come back to her and a heavy blush rapidly spreads. "THIS ISN'T SEX YOU DUMB CAT! IT IS PURELY FOR SCIENCE!"

I don't look at her. My tail starts to flick, coming close to her breasts each time it goes in her direction. "I know, don't worry. I'm fine with you doing THINGS to my body for SCIENCE."

Somehow Tesk's blush gets even deeper and she covers her face. It's not until she hears me snickering that she uncovers herself and glares at me.

"Please take this seriously. It's a really interesting thing."

I look at her, a gleam in my eyes as I purr. "I am, when are we going to start? My body is ready."

Tesk takes in a deep breath, and lets it out slowly.

'To slap a bitch, or not to slap a bitch? That is the question.' Her eyes look down and I see a sadistic smile grow. Her hand comes up as my eyes widen. Before I can say anything though, her hand comes down.

*SMACK*

I let out a small yelp and a small jump at the unexpected pain on my ass. Tesk smirks at me. "Going to behave now?" I nod, tears at the corners of my eyes. She's got some strength!

She mutters under her breath as she begins to channel her mana, "You shouldn't flirt with someone if you aren't serious about it..."

My face turned away, I reply quietly, unsure if my words can reach her, "I was serious though..."

If she hears me, she says nothing and the process finally begins.
