Rowala Park

Admiring the scenery as we traveled the bustling roads of Tusk City, I reveled in my wife's warmth as we eventually reached the sprawling field that was Rowala Park.

Various other carriages were gathered inside the field, resting on predetermined sections of stone; there were three branches of road leading around the park, and sprouting from each branch were large squares meant to house the carriages.

Situated in the midst of the park was a quaint little cottage, where numerous people entered and exited, the bright red signage reading 'Toll House' above the doors.

Lifting my head from Rhefia's shoulders, I took in the sight of the dozens of carriages settled inside this space, people lounging in and around their carriages, feeding their steeds, and chatting amongst themselves.

"Love, how much is a toll usually?"

Glancing down at me, Rhefia pursed her lips as she looked around, before a wry smile appeared on her face as she said "A place like this? Probably 4 some odd Silvers a day, though they likely do deals on extended stays. How long did you plan on staying?"

Frowning, I mentally reviewed our current financial situation for a few moments, which made Rhefia chuckle.

"Money won't be too big of an issue, Astra, as long as we manage our books right. We don't need to eat out often, so we save coin there. We have a lot of raw meats and such to sell, so we have some income there too. Also, Aethisia and I will most likely visit the Arena anyways to unwind, so we can make some coin whilst we fight. Then..."

She gestured towards my chest, which made me chuckle as I nodded, resting my arm under my ample breasts and giving them a bounce, smirking at Rhefia as she stared hungrily at them.

Laying her hand on my thigh, my Deerkin wife sunk her fingers into the soft flesh as she searched for a spot to settle into.

Enjoying her hand, I looked around at the various people, taking in the different groups that all relaxed or worked inside Rowala Park.

Three carriages were all parked near one another, each one bustling with activity as various Orcs, Boarkin, Deerkin, and a few tanned Elves.

They stored various crates into one of the carriages, whilst a few others sharpened and tended to weaponry, all while another few mended armor or prepared kits for their upcoming venture.

Another carriage had a few Rabbitkin all standing around it, dressed in some rather revealing clothing as they laughed amongst themselves.

Their carriage was adorned with a few symbols, and upon seeing my gaze Rhefia smirked, informing me about them.

"Those Rabbitkin there are all followers of Freyishtra, the Goddess of Prostitution. Most likely, they'll either send the tired or sick back to their temple whilst the others all sell themselves to any of the caravans setting out, or they're all planning on 'resting' for a bit before going towards Birchan."

Nodding, I took in the symbol, committing it to memory for future reference...

It was a star with a singular, more rounded 'point' facing downwards, with two crescent moons hanging just above it.

Studying it a little closer, I realized the phallic shape wasn't a penis but rather the vaginal canal, while the two moons were ovaries.

Letting out a 'huh', I then turned towards another carriage, watching as some merchants sifted through their containers and checked off their lists, doing inventory.

Finding us a spot, Rhefia hopped off of the bench instantly, stretching herself out with audible pops, before groaning softly as I began to massage her stiff back, all while the others began to filter out of the carriage as well.

Doing the same as Rhefia and I, we loosened our travel weary bodies out before I glanced at Yiksa, grabbing the coins from my inventory as I handed her some.

"Go get our spot reserved, and uhm... if you want to, try and get us a 'discount' as well~!"

Taking the twenty silvers from my hand, the Dark Elf smirked back at me, her lust obvious as she made her way towards the Toll House, turning back only when Camara shouted "Don't get arrested~!", which made us all chuckle.

Clapping my hands together, I looked around the Park and took in each spot, asking Rhefia "So, what can we do to this space? Are we able to make our own fires, build up a little camp? Or..?"

Continuing to enjoy her massage, Rhefia sighed contentedly as I pressed into her shoulders, rubbing out the knots.

"Mmm... Little higher love~... So uh... yeah, we can do~ anything to our spot besides tear it down~... as long as we leave it habitable for the next person and clean up..."

Nodding, I glanced over to Kalia, who took my spot as I began to set up our temporary home.

I wasn't going to do anything crazy, but I did have the ability to craft some more intricate lean-to's that I could attach to the carriage, creating a giant tent for us all to share.

Add our pelts and bedrolls to the mix, as well as some wooden flooring that I could cover with said pelts, and we would have a really good sleeping area.

As for the Geri, I could leave them leashed up, but I would loosen it and give them some room to inhabit; that way I could have five rather potent guards at the tent at all times.

Crafting the lean-to inside the carriage's built in crafting table, I had everyone help me set it up as I pulled it out of the back, making a display of pulling it from storage.

Considering way back when Rhefia seemed surprised at my 'Crafting Magic', I didn't want to risk putting myself or my family in harms way if that turned out to be more important then either of us could realize.

When everything was set up, and we were all settled in, Yiksa eventually came back with a slight pep to her step, an obviously satisfied grin on her face letting us know it all went well.
