"I take it the oil did its magic?"

Nyx relaxed in her chair as she watched Nova across the table. Poor thing was blushing so hard that she swore her usual honey beige skin could pass for cherry red at the moment.

The woman took a nervous sip of her drink, looking everywhere but at Nyx's face. Which was impressive - truth be told - as they were meeting in one of the booths on The Mayflower. Imagine preferring watching someone get railed in the middle of a room, instead of make a little eye contact when talking about some flexi-oil?

"Yes, uh, thank you that."

"I'm going to be away for a while, so I've brought another for you." She carefully placed glass bottle of the oil in the table between them.

"You really didn't need to do that," Nova said, while still stashing the gift into her bag. Nyx let a smile curl her lips before shutting it down quick.

"It's for the birth. It'll help prevent any tears and frankly just make the experience a lot more bearable. Honestly, there's nothing better in all the parallels, trust me on this."

"Parallels?" Nova muttered before going ram rod straight. "How did you know that I was pregnant? We've not told anyone yet."

"You keep forgetting that I'm not human." Nyx pointed at her stomach, which wasn't showing yet. "You can rub it into your skin as well - it'll help with any growing pains."

"This stuff sounds amazing. If I examined a sample, do you think I could synthesise it?"

"No can do," Nyx shook her head, remembering her own failed attempts. "I've tried before and got nowhere. But if anyone could do it, it would be you. If you manage it, send me a copy, would you?"

"You going to tell me where to send it?" She replied, watching closely as Nyx took a sip of her drink the avoid the question. Nova sighed. "As much as I'm grateful for the oil, I'm guessing it's not the reason you asked for me to meet you here and bring Arachne."

She tapped the dark box where the spider cam was resting, careful not to jostle it and annoy the occupant inside too much.

Nyx waited for the sensual music to reach its peak, while the surrounding patrons were likely distracted as  a white furred Lupus gave a particularly noisy display. She leaned forward, which Nova automatically mirrored, to look as if they were just two girlfriends sharing about to share a little gossip.

"Tell me everything you remember about the Seokga brothers."
