“I’m considering it now,” Triska replied with a nod.

Before Daniel could say anything Falla quickly grabbed his head and pulled him into a kiss, with Triska slowly breathing out to keep calm while Luna continued laughing and hopping about at Daniel’s side. Falla kissed Daniel deeply then pulled back to smile coyly at him with a twitch of her eyebrow.

“And you wonder why I’ve loved you since the minute I laid my eyes on you,” she purred.

“The minute you laid eyes on him, huh?” Triska flatly repeated with a raised eyebrow at the girl.

Daniel opened his mouth to speak before Luna grabbed his head and turned him to kiss her as well, with the girl kissing him again and again while her legs kicked about joyously. Triska crossed her arms and looked away while rolling her eyes as Luna kissed Daniel passionately before leaning back and showing a gentle smile.

“I’m so lucky I have you, Daniel,” she praised. “I never want to stop feeling this for you.”

Daniel blinked then looked back and forth between the sisters before noticing Triska walking over and yanking him away from the girls to her side.

“Alright,” Triska said with a forced smile. “For the record I haven’t been able to kiss him once since he sealed the deal with your monarch. Do you mind?”

“I guess not,” Falla simply replied with a shrug.

“Sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves,” Luna said with a weak smile.

Triska showed a slick smile at Daniel before kissing him and wrapping her arms around his neck. The butterfly sisters watched curiously as Daniel then held her in the embrace, with the girl’s hips shifting slightly while she relished the feeling of being so close to him. When the kiss ended Triska leaned back and smiled lovingly at the boy as he returned the look.

“We need to celebrate tonight, Daniel,” Triska reasoned. “That sounds like an order for the night.”

“Celebrate how?”

Triska showed a sly smile at him, twitching her eyebrow once while one of her hands slid down his chest then grabbed onto his crotch. Daniel chuckled lightly at getting the hint and nodded while Triska used her other hand to gently ruffle the hair on the back of his head.

“I think I know what you’re getting at here,” Daniel mused.

“So do we,” Luna giggled.

“Enjoy making love to him tonight, Triska,” Falla complimented looking down with closed eyes.

“No,” Triska said shaking her head with a feisty smile on her face. “I’m going to fuck Daniel tonight.”

Falla and Luna looked at her with curious smiles while Daniel laughed a bit as he saw the girl showing her eagerness to have him that night. He then noticed further down the street that caused some confusion to come across his face. The girls looked over to seeing Squeak walking towards them, dressed in her revealing bikini, and having a dull expression on her face.

“Squeak?” Daniel asked as Triska, after cupping one more feel of him, let go and turned to her friend curiously. “What are you doing here? And what’s wrong?”

“Where’s Specca?” Triska asked looking around, seeing no sign of the nixie or any items the two may have procured at the market.

“Hey, Squeak!” Luna called out as the ant girl walked over to them. “Daniel did it! He talked to the monarch and she wants to help him!”

Squeak looked to her then to Daniel with surprise before smiling brightly and squeaking while hopping up and down. Daniel smiled with a blush on his face as he couldn’t help but notice her breasts bouncing like that before the girl rushed over and hugged him
very
tightly, electing a cough and grunt out of him while the other girls watched her with a small jump.

“Squeak. Easy, girl,” Triska urged as she tried to get the strong ant girl to let go of Daniel.

“You’re crushing him,” Luna worriedly said.

“Hey!” Falla shouted, with Squeak looking to her with curious eyes and Daniel showing a strained smile as her arms didn’t loosen in the least. “You did not seriously walk away empty-handed from the market again, did you?”

Squeak blinked then showed discontent as she let go of Daniel, the boy stumbling back a step while gasping for air, before she started squeaking with a stern tone around at the girls. The group watched as she pointed off to the side and shook her head about something then waved her hands around all while squeaking continuously, with Falla staring at her with disbelief as the ant girl kept going and not paying attention to the blank stares in the others’ eyes.

“What is
wrong
with you?” Falla yelled and interrupted Squeak’s long tirade with. “We don’t speak squeak! None of us understand you! We’ve never understood you! Why can’t you learn this? Why? Why is that so hard for you to get?”

Squeak looked at her curiously and squeaked while holding a finger to her lips before Falla marched over and grabbed her head, holding her still while touching their antennae together once again.

“Just… tell me what went wrong this time,” Falla groaned with defeat.

Daniel and the girls watched as Squeak squeaked her story to Falla, with the butterfly girl’s expression going from a tired stare to surprise. She then started giggling as Squeak showed annoyance to her reaction, the butterfly girl holding a hand over her mouth for a moment before she backed up and keeled over laughing.

“Are you kidding me? Seriously?” she asked Squeak with a wide smile before she fell to the ground laughing and kicking her feet. Squeak watched her with discontent while the others looked at her confusedly.

“So, what’s going on?” Triska finally asked.

“What did she say, Falla?” Daniel said to the butterfly who was rolling around on the ground laughing. Falla looked to him while trying to hold her voice in then to Squeak as the ant girl glanced down the road with a small scowl.

*****

Standing near the caravan Kroanette was watching something with bewilderment along with Alyssa who was on Lucky’s back. Pip was sitting on the witch’s hat and watching the same thing with a curious eye while Clover stood beside Kroanette and rose in eyebrow in question.

“Um…” Kroanette slowly said before glancing to Alyssa.

“Wow,” Alyssa merely replied with a simple tone.

“What the fuck is going on?” Clover asked shaking her head.

The girls watched as a line of giant butterflies were flying out of the caravan, all of them giggling and waving back behind them with smiles of wonder. Pip’s eye that was visible from her hair glanced side to side as she watched one after another fly out of the ride and back towards Flairwood.

“What are they all doing in there?” Kroanette asked.

“They’re not robbing us,” Alyssa speculated. “They’re not taking anything.”

“That’s a lot of boobies,” Pip mentioned while drooling as she watched all the bosoms of the butterfly girls flying away.

As the last two giant butterflies walked out onto the front seat of the caravan so did Specca, the nixie smiling with a blush at them as they kept touching her arms and tail with curious smiles.

“Your scales are so beautiful,” one of them praised. “It’s like looking at the ocean.”

“I can’t get over how sexy this tail looks,” the other purred while caressing the nixie’s tail. “It’s so slick and smooth yet shimmers like stars in the sky.”

“Thank you so much,” Specca bashfully said before one of them got behind her and started groping her chest, squeezing the breasts vigorously while the nixie squirmed in her grip.

“Are these covered in your beautiful scales as well? Can I see?” the butterfly eagerly asked.

“What about down here?” the other mentioned coyly as she knelt down and rubbed her hands along Specca’s thigh up to her skirt, with the nixie quickly stopping the hands with hers from venturing upwards any further.

“That’s enough,” Specca insisted with a weak smile. “What you see is what you get, that’s the price we agreed on.”

“I suppose so,” the one behind her pouted with a small smile before she moved around in front of the nixie. “I just can’t get over how stunning you look. The bookish appeal, the graceful shift of tones with the beautiful scales, the absolutely adorably timid nature, I adore it all. It’s so subtle and powerful, you’re a walking dream. Are you sure you cannot stay a bit longer? I simply must have you model some of my fashionable skirts; they’ll look perfect on those sexy hips of yours.”

“No,” the other butterfly insisted as she stood up and held Specca’s hands with a hopeful smile. “Come and model for me. Please? I just have to build upon this lovely look of yours. You’re so shy and graceful, expressing such wisdom while also looking so hot! I can make you a better shirt and tie, I know I can, and I can also give your glasses more flair, maybe a lovely bow ribbon or even a flower bud on the side, it’ll be too cute to bear!”

“Thank you, but I’m going to have to decline,” Specca graciously said. “As I said we’ll be leaving here today, hopefully, and I must be here when my mate returns.”

“You have a man too?” one of the butterflies asked with a sweet smile. “Is he as eye-popping as you are?”

“Oh yes,” Specca said looking down with a bashful smile. “He is certainly the only man in Eden for me.”

“Lucky girl,” the other butterfly commented before the two started to fly off together. “Take care, Specca. And come back and visit us again!”

“Take care as well,” Specca called out as she waved to them. “And thank you for everything.”

“Specca?” Alyssa asked as the girls came over towards the ride. “What’s going on?”

“Oh, there you girls are,” Specca replied with a curious smile at them before showing joy as she pointed to Lucky. “You brought Lucky back, that’s fantastic!”

She then noticed Clover and showed a saddened frown.

“And you brought her back as well? Why?”

“Screw you too,” Clover retorted looking away while crossing her arms.

“It’s a long story,” Kroanette said glancing to Clover then back to Specca curiously. “But what were all those giant butterflies doing in there?”

Specca glanced back to the cabin with a small smile then saw Daniel and the other girls approaching from Flairwood.

“Daniel!” she called out before she hopped off the ride and ran over to him. Daniel smiled at the nixie as she lunged into his arms and held him close, with her tail wrapping around his leg right away. “How did it go? Did you speak to the monarch? What did she say?”

“She said she’ll help us,” Daniel answered, with Specca hopping with an excited squeal. “She’s going to stand with us in Rockhelm when we summon for her. That’s two rulers who agreed to help us, now we just need three more and Charlotte will join us as well.”

“That’s wonderful news, Daniel!” Specca cheered before kissing him deeply.

“What the hell?” Triska shouted out, with Specca quickly leaning back and looking to her worriedly.

“What? I’m allowed to kiss him, he’s my mate too.”

“Not you,
her
!” Triska yelled as she pointed to Clover, with everyone watching as the elf glanced to the human with annoyance. “What is she doing back here? We told her to get lost.”

“I’m not quite certain to be honest,” Specca mentioned as she adjusted her glasses while watching the elf carefully.

“She found Lucky and rode him back to us,” Kroanette explained as she walked towards them. “And she offered to assist Daniel with speaking to the elven priestess in Green Haven if we give her a ride back there.”

“Green Haven?” Daniel asked as Luna and Falla ducked behind him and watched the temperamental elf from over his shoulders. “The elven forest we’re traveling to, that’s where she came from?”

“She’s not coming with us,” Triska argued shaking her head. “We’ll take our chances with Daniel-”

“Won’t work,” Clover called out while avoiding eye contact with them. Triska watched her cautiously then glanced to Alyssa as the witch hopped off her horse and walked over to them with Pip sitting on her hat.

“She told us that without a proper invite to speak to the priestess visitors like us wouldn’t even see her let alone be allowed to talk to her,” Alyssa told them with a shrug. “However if she puts in a good word for Daniel the priestess might agree to speak with him.”

“Does she even
know
any good words?” Falla questioned.

“She’s scary,” Luna whimpered.

“Before you judge her harshly,” Kroanette spoke up raising a hand to Daniel. “Do know that the reason why, or at least I hope why, she’s rather irritable is because she lost her home grove and someone special to her when a fairy lost control of herself. The story she told us the other night about the lone survivor from that grove, it was her she was speaking of.”

“That really happened?” Triska asked as she and Squeak eyed the elf carefully.

“We’re not letting her come with us still, are we?” Falla nervously said.

“I don’t want to be yelled at again,” Luna sadly mentioned.

Daniel took a moment to remove Specca’s tail from around his leg then walked over towards the elf, with her merely glancing to him with derision.

“I don’t like the idea of you coming with us,” Daniel said shaking his head. “I do appreciate you offering to help me speak to your priestess at Green Haven, but the fact is you’ve been very disrespectful to the girls and I don’t want that to continue.”

“If you want to speak to my priestess then you’re giving me a ride,” Clover retorted.

“Then I guess I’m not speaking to her,” Daniel answered, with Clover looking to him with surprise. “Let me make this clear, Clover. You are not coming with us if you are going to be mean to these girls. They mean the world to me, and I will
not
allow you to speak so harshly to them. If taking you with us is the only way I could speak to the priestess of Green Haven, then I will not be going there anymore.” The other girls all watched Daniel with wonder as Clover growled and looked down with a frustrated glare.

“You are not a kindhearted girl, and as such I will not permit you to ride with us,” Daniel concluded before turning and walking back towards the others.

“Please,” Clover called out, with Daniel stopping and slowly looking back to her. The elf took a shaky breath then glanced to him with trembling hands. “Don’t leave me here like this. I lost my priestess’s treasure to that goddamned neko. I can’t go back alone and empty-handed. If you take me home and speak in my defense I’ll do everything I can to let you talk to my priestess about whatever you want.”
