After the agreement your relationship with Kara more or less stabilizes. Though you two are not as active together, her libido also seems to cool a bit in general, while on the ship at least. There is no shortage of men, but you begin to suspect that she had been going overboard ever since you made it known what you wanted out of her. For any other man, her efforts would have worked after the first attempt but your stubbornness brought you to the point where things are, by your estimation, looking up. All you need to do is pursue one of the girls in your party seriously. There is no rush so you decide to wait and mull over your options, promising Kara to decide by the time the ship docks on the other side of the strait. It will only be another day from the point that the deal was made.
Thinking about it, the only real choice is Heilan. Though Kara did not specify, Vura would undoubtedly ferment ill will. There are no points gained for pulling one over on the person you hold the agreement with, since she could simply decide on a whim that the terms are changed if she deems you in violation. You are fairly sure that Vura is not interested in you, at the very least. You have the tiniest suspicion of her inclinations but are not ready to make assumptions. You do not particularly care, either way. Luire is male. Without being sure of his interests, it would still be in poor taste to start making moves on him when taking his history into account. Besides, he seems nice enough that you would not want to lead him on, since you are definitely not interested in males; no matter how feminine they may be. That just leaves Heilan. She is not of the same type as Kara, but she is close. She is a beastwoman of a similar age to you. In terms of experience, you may even have her beat so you could have a shot at being the senior in a relationship for once. She is not without her charms, either. Heilan does not let on a lot about herself and seems rather basic, but she is also fairly driven which is attractive to you. Though you do not get her, she does have interests and is receptive to listening to instructions and following orders. As a party member she is perfect. As a temporary girl for the purpose of the deal? You can not be sure until you try.
When the ship moors you all quickly disembark. Kara is pleased to touch ground. The boat was, in essence, one big dead zone for her magic. Nothing alive in any direction. Vura did not mind the proximity to both Heilan and Kara, but also seemed to not mind sailing in general. Luire was comfortable and mostly kept to himself in the cabin he shared with Heilan and Vura and a few other women that had been using the ships services. You eye Heilan, rushing off the boat after Kara. She did not seem comfortable on the ship, but would always stick close to your master. She always found some reason or another to strike up a conversation. Now was no exception. You stayed a few feet away and pretended to watch cargo unload.
"So... This is your homeland?" Heilan asks.
"Uhh." Kara does not want to answer that question. You assume it is for various reasons. Her entire reason for forming this party with you is based on a lie, essentially. Giving more info than necessary will just bring trouble.
"I think my ancestors migrated down from here. Maybe we're related?"
"Unlikely."
"You aren't used to the cities, right? Because you live out here?"
Kara shrugs and says evenly. "More or less, yeah."
"That's really cool. I've always wanted to connect with my roots."
You turn to look a bit more closely. Kara is obviously sizing up Heilan after that statement. She adopts a subtle look of doubt that is imperceptible to the wolf girl.
"Uh huh?""My family's roots go way back in this area, I think. My grandma always told me stories that she was told by her grandma. You know how it is."
"I guess."
