We're Back! - Folician Chronicles 9

Chapter 17 - Your mother's to ugly

~~~ Char and Paloma leave

The Friday morning before the World Courts hearing Hands showed Char and Paloma to the transport, "I've already sent a message to my pack, so they know when you'll be arriving. Spicy will take good care of you. Char, you'll probably be assigned to a normal trainee section. Paloma you can go to the Harem and Cindy will take care of you or to Ray's pack. I'd suggest the harem while you are being tested for what additional education you need. The temple harem is used to dealing with humans and will take care of you and teach you our culture." He held Paloma and gave her a good kiss. Before he moved back he gave Char a good hug and light peck. By now both had robes and were wearing them.

Paloma returned the hug and kiss, "We'll see when we get there. Not sure about being in the Harem. The term bothers me for some reason. I'll talk to Cindy and see what it's like, but I just don't know. Don't want a bunch of males thinking I'm there just for sex." She blushed, *I greatly enjoyed my time with you but other males? I just don't know.*

Hands nuzzled her neck, *I understand, and many humans need to get used to our culture. Cindy, Rain, and Salty will let the harem know not to make offers. If you approach one that's your choice. If one does offer and you aren't sure, tell them. Get to know them, learn who they are, what they are like, and the same goes if you end up with Ray's pack. If someone offers tell them you are getting to know their culture. We really do respect someone saying no. If someone is interested in you, they might gently pursue you and try to seduce you, but they'll respect what you say. Heaven knows I've been pursued occasionally. If nothing else stay in my pack for a few weeks.*

Char stomped her foot on the ground, "Mom! Not what I want to hear. You're my mom and I don't want to know." When several others laughed she stuck her tongue at them. She walked onto the transport to the snickers.

One of the transport crew wrapped an arm around Char, "Mothers can be a pain, can't they? I remember a few conversations she had which I wish I hadn't heard." The female was fairly young and made a slight face, "Sometimes they can be horrible, but we need to remember they also are people. Not just mom or dad but people who need companionship. I'll show you around the transport before we have to buckle in before we leave."

"Still ick. She's my mom and don't want to know. Bad enough knowing she spent an evening with Hands. Don't know what might have happened and trying not to think about it. I'm to young to even consider it." When the other laughed at her she grumbled at her.

"Go, find your room and I'll see you sooner than later. Enjoyed my time with you Paloma." He nuzzled her again before urging her aboard the ship. He turned away and stretched, "Hope they do well. On to the next issue." He had a malicious expression on his face.

~~~ Hands visits the redneck

Hands walked to the transporter room once Paloma and Char had left on the transport, "Transport me to the coordinates the Dragoness was at. I'd like to have a discussion with someone." He'd left Rex behind with strict orders to remain on the ship with Savory and Sweety. He knew Rex would go overboard in reaction to what they'd learned.

He was transported down, and he looked around. This place was a hell hole of rusting junk, stench of swamp water, and other revolting odors, "Good goddess they need some outside Febreze for this place. Goddess it stinks." Hands wanted to cover his muzzle but didn't. He wanted out of this place as soon as possible. His suit sensors were showing the person was inside the remains of the trailer. The front and back had been destroyed and he wasn't sure how it was still standing.

"Yo, asshole, since hunting dragons didn't work how about Folician's? Might do better hunting us but keep in mind we don't taste like chicken or long pork." He used his suit to amplify his voice and faintly smiled as people started to almost stumble out of the other trailers.
