Making Plans

The following day, I woke up feeling surprisingly refreshed, and the first thing that came to my mind was how to satisfy Lusamine's Quest. I quickly considered all the possibilities but ultimately decided to take her out for a day of shopping.

I sent a text off to Jolene and then got out of Lusamine's bed to stretch my back out. I could see why she slept with Joy rather than her own bed, but that was just more reason to get this Quest completed. I knew that she would feel a lot better once she could make this place feel more like a home and somewhere that she wanted to be.

My phone buzzed, and I looked down at it and went through a range of emotions as I read the text. I had said good morning and asked what time Jolene wanted me there, but I had also told her that I was thinking of taking Lusamine shopping.

<Good morning, handsome! Shopping? That sounds like it might be fun for us girls! Maybe Joy and I can meet the two of you, and I can take the girls around shopping! I am sure you have plenty to do! Tallia also is going down to the Great Crater with Nemona for the night to help with some of the Pokémon down there! That means you can come over for the night! ~Your Little Cum Slut in waiting!>

Truthfully, it was probably better for Jolene to take Lusamine shopping, and I was sure that Joy would enjoy that. The thing was that I wanted to use that to help build up our Bond, but I sent back a message saying that it sounded good, but I would be a bit.

Last night things had been going well with Lusamine, but then I received the Quest. Everything seemed to go downhill from there, yet, considering Lusamine's personality, that was probably the best out of things.

Thinking about how strong Lusamine had gotten reminded me about my own body and something Nemora said. I did have a toned body, but I was still pretty skinny.

[If you would like, can I run you through some exercises? It will only take about ten minutes, but during that time, I will be stimulating and slightly tearing all the muscles in your body. Once you are finished, it will feel like you have worked out for about three hours, but you will need to take a twenty-minute break after to recover.]

"Yeah, I am more than okay with that. I can do this, and then I will go make Lusamine and breakfast before calling a cab," I said as I stretched a bit.

[I suggest that you do this in Joy's Habitat. You might want to suggest that Lusamine join you.]

Now that was an excellent idea if I had ever heard one! Considering that she had clearly already been working out, this might be a good way to break the... ice. I would have to stay away from that word or any suggestion of the Quest.

I closed my eyes, opened the back up at the front door to Joy's home/PokeCenter, and then knocked on the door.

"Come in! I thought you were going to sleep all day!" Lusamine called out in a complaining voice, and I walked in with a smile. I headed to the back of the building to find Lusamine sitting at the table with an annoyed look on her face.

"Sorry, I was just doing some thinking. I was thinking of working out, and I can tell that you have been doing that already, so I wanted to ask if you wanted to join me?" I asked, trying not to sound nervous.

"I suppose that we can, but I am not doing something that you pick! I am a girl, and I have my own workout, so you are just going to have to follow along with me!" Lusamine declared as she stood up from the table but then looked at the fridge.

"I will make food after we are done. I am only going to be able to go for 30 minutes, so that should be fine, right?" I asked, and Lusamine nodded.

"That is only a light workout, but I suppose it will be fine. I am much stronger than you, so you should try to catch up," she said and then walked through the glass sliding door that led to the backyard.

I turned and followed her out, but I was wondering if Cryo's abilities would still work if I did Lusamine's workout?

[This will be fine. While not as effective, the point is to keep your body moving for 10 minutes to help keep you focused on something other than the pain.]

"This place should be fine, so start stretching," Lusamine said after she had found a nice place where the sun had been on the ground and dried it out from the morning dew.

Since the upgrade to the Habitat Design, Joy's ball had become filled with trees around the edge and other small bushes. There were also some in the backyard that provided shade, along with a small flower garden surrounding an umbrella-covered patio table and chairs.

"Sure, but just so you know, I can only work out for 10 minutes," I said as I started to stretch again, but Lusamine made an annoyed sound.

"What is the point then?! 10 minutes will do nothing for you! Even in this place! You have to put in an actual effort if you want to impress me! You said that we would be out here for thirty minutes!" Lusamine growled, but I put up my hands in my defense.

"Wait. Cryo is going to be doing something to my body, and I am going to try to go for as long as I can, but he said I am only going to last about 10 minutes!" I explained quickly, and then Lusamine narrowed her eyes at me.

"Can it be done to me as well?" She asked.

[Yes, I would be glad to!]
