NTR Quest 30 - Distrust

"Yeah." You say simply while hoping your ability to read others allows you to hide your own intent well enough.

"That sounds nice." You see Kara's face brighten in a way you have not seen before after you say that. She leans forward and hugs you tightly.

"I am so happy to hear that, hero." She says genuinely, resting her chin on your shoulder.

You gulp, trying to be delicate in the way you carry out your plan. It is not a plan in the sense that you considered it at all until now. The idea only entered your mind a few moments ago, but everything you have learned and devoted your time to until now built up to it.
"Should we..." You motion towards the bed.

Kara, or more likely Raithe, leans back and looks at you with wide eyes. She nods towards the bed.
"Oh? Yes! If you want to, of course." She offers bashfully, walking over to plop down on the side. You gesture hesitantly towards the body of Raithe laying off to the side under the furs.

Kara glances back and hesitates for just a moment before shaking her head lightly. "She wont mind."

"I'm sure." You say a bit sarcastically out of habit before catching yourself and adding.
"That's very much like you, isn't it?"

She tilts her head to one side and giggles as she slips out of her clothing. "Isn't it?" She agrees. Once she is significantly undressed you waste no time climbing over her onto the bed. She lays back accommodatingly and stares up at you. It is a strange feeling, because you have had sex with Kara multiple times and this is the first time that you have felt from her some sense of meaning that does not come purely from your end. She reaches up and drapes her arms over your shoulders, folding her hands behind your neck to pull you close. The two of you kiss deeply and at that moment you begin to get into it.

It is not her, you are sure, but it feels nice. Though she is only wearing the skin of the woman you are after, her emotion and happiness feels real as you begin thrusting.
"This is good." She breaths encouragingly, her own body rising and falling. You furrow your brow as you realize you almost allowed yourself to get lost in the moment. Remembering why you did this to begin with, you initiate your plan.

"Is it?" Her eyes widen and stare into yours as you reach out.

You are not looking up into your own eyes as you expected, but instead dark halls of stone laid on top of stone. Old brickwork, but it does not actually scream of being old. There is no grime or wear like the legacy structures of old you've visited, such as the guild hall in the capital. No, the passage you are standing in looks recently built and well-kept. Confusing that impression are various vines that crawl up and down the walls, not as overgrowth but as if by design. As you are wondering where you are and why, you step aside and watch a pair of young beastfolk walking the hall past you towards the end.

Twin foxes, one with red and one with silver hair. Both with golden eyes. You can tell because both of their small faces look up to glance in your direction without actually seeming to notice you. Without anything else to do you begin to follow after them as they take their time, wandering while taking the full breadth of the hall. As you get closer to the end you hear distinct voices. One booming, one elegant and subduing in the way it carries down the hall.

As you reach the end the two Beastfolk turn on their heels and walk carelessly into an open hall that is without a doubt a throne room. The hall is wide with the same stone construction. In place of pillars, great heavy oak trees lift the ceiling itself and spread out into hanging leaves and branches. The floor is a bed of green, with older leaves cracking conspicuously under the children's bare feet, and yours. The noise you create makes you cringe, but no one acknowledges your presence there. That much is obvious as the two enormous, stone-like gnolls guarding the interior of the entryway pay you no mind.
