Making It Official

Lesha didn't let me put her down, and I didn't mind. I had been worried about her, so I loved getting this extra time with her.

At this point, we were just clown short of a circus with the menagerie that I had gathered. Crass Waved to us as we passed, and Lesha waved for the two of us.

Looking over to see the other girls, I almost felt like I was setting a bad example. Gloria was carrying Mei like I had Lesha and Candi was riding on Trinity's back.

Together we all looked ridiculous with Gobby, the rolling arms, and the mostly naked group of men leading us. I shook my head trying to imagine all the things that Crass would embellish and blow out of proportion this time?

The whole scene had been something wild and hard to understand or believe. Then, I had healed even the pair of arms which still didn't make any sense, but then they could prove to be handy.

If nothing else, they would be an end source of bad jokes and even worse puns. The group of men were turning now and we started to head down the hill towards the ocean, but I could see the big hall up ahead.

This Guild Hall was much the same as my own, but the big difference was the red tiles on the roof. They made the place look a lot fancier than the place that I called home, but it still wouldn't be the same.

"Wow, when they said you were going out to find us a place, this is not what I had in mind, but good job! I wonder if they have one of those auto baths?" Lesha asked.

She then motioned for me to let her down once we were outside. After I did, she turned around and then kissed me, and I pulled her in close and held her there for a moment before following the men inside.

The place was almost identical to our own mess hall when we entered, except this one was filled with tables and chairs like a proper guild. We had only brought the tables out as we needed them.

Suddenly, a message popped up, and it surprised me making me step back, and back into the girls. They complained but I knew this message, and I had to block out the girls while I focused on this.

"Can you all just give me a moment to figure out some things? Also, can someone see if there is anyone in the kitchen getting food ready? It has to be getting close to lunch, right?" I asked as I took a seat at the closest table, the other girls joining me in silence.

I added all five points to my guild members. Strangely enough, the total number of guild members had doubled, but I guess that was from gaining hold of another guild.

I turned to Gloria, Candi, and Trinity, and smiled at the girls.

"Are you ready to join the Guild, and make it official?" I asked the girls.

"I would like my crest on my chest where Lesha has hers. That way I can match with Mei as you two do," Gloria said while Mei cuddled into her.

"What about you two?" I asked Candi and Trinity.

"Same as you guys. I think that it would be weird if we didn't get it in the same place. We would be the odd girl lovers out, and we are already an odd enough couple, to begin with," Candi said while grinning at Trinity.

I went through the process of marking each one of the girls, and then I got up to start with the men. Each of them demanded that I give them the Crimson Legion crest over their hearts in service to me.

I thought that it was going a bit overboard, but I also did understand that part of it was from the pact that was between us all. I had saved their lives, even if I was the one that almost took them.

In the end, I would release them all one day, but that day was far in the future. Naldrick gave me the layout of the guild and where I could find the Waystone.

This Guild Hall turned out to be very similar to my own in more ways than I had first anticipated. Everything was laid out in the same fashion as my own hall, but there was a fifth-floor area just after my suites.

That area was where we were all heading to go and talk with Healia. On the way up, the girls insisted that we stop and take a look at our rooms.

When I was back in Healia, Mei had got a room, and she was just getting settled. Then Gloria showed up, and we had left before she could join, but I assumed that the girls would be sharing rooms now.

"Why are there only two-room?" Candi complained, but Trinity was already dragging her into the room.

"Do you mind if we just stay down here and look around?" Gloria asked with her arm around Mei. "There is never much for us to say anyways when you and the god talk."

"Are you going to abandon me too?" I asked Lesha who was staring longingly at the final and far closed door that would be to our bedroom.

"Can I?" She asked, not even paying attention to me.

I rolled my eyes, and Lesha did catch that. She came over and gave me a kiss, and then put her lips to my ear.

"I think we still have a bath date, so don't spend too much time up there talking with that crazy old lady, okay?" Lesha asked me.

"Try not to pass out on the toilet again before I get back, okay? I said in reply with a smile.

"Shhht! Don't say that or the other girls will hear!" Lesha scolded me, but I just her, and turned to head up the final flight of stairs.
