Chapter 12: Duty

Author's Note: I'm sure people will read this story eventually

Yesterday, Silva and Song spent the day in their downtime by cuddling together, kissing, and relaxing in the embrace of one another. It was similar to a spa day, with most of the activities just being stress-relief by being gentle and loving together. It did work wonders for Silva's stress though, she already felt much more relaxed.

After seating themselves on the couch, the two began to kiss passionately, following a nap shortly after. Past lunch, a bit of slow garden work, a practice session, and dinner, it was time to relax in bed once more. The two changed into their pajamas and climbed under the covers together, wrapping their arms like a protective jacket around one another. 

Song snuggled herself deep into the bosom of Silva, comfortably stealing all of the heat from Silva's chest. The two fell asleep comfortably in each other's grasp.

Come morning, the sun gently shone through the window of Silva and Song's room. Illuminating the area, it prompted them both to wake up. Though Silva woke up first due to her eyes being more exposed to the light rather than Song, who was covered and pressed into Silva's chest.

Freeing one of her arms to shield her eyes from the light, she gazed down at the precious girl that was snug in her arms. She smiled with great love in her eyes.

"Song...you're so beautiful." She whispered, running a hand gently over the sleeping girl's head. Feeling her soft hand made Silva feel an extra bit happier. However, her enjoyment was short-lived as she realized what she had to do today. The girl sighed.

"I'm sorry Tweyen, but it seems duty calls." 

By now, Song had already begun to awaken and she gazed up, hair covering her vision slightly.

"You got a job today...?" She gently asked with heavy drowsiness in her voice. A cute yawn shortly followed.

"I need to hunt down a few bandits that have been terrorizing an island's farm village. Because of them food has a major tax spike and farmers can't produce as much, as the bandits keep taking some for themselves. So for our markets I need to subdue them." Silva explained. This made Song interested however.

"Can I help? I want to help!" Like a child wanting to follow a parent, Song gazed up excitedly at Silva, her bright green eyes striking Silva's weak points.

Silva giggled, and was more than happy to bring Song because she is a capable warrior and adult.

"Sure. Let's clean ourselves up and get ready. The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can get home and do whatever." 

Song took that to heart and jolted up, running off to the shower. To save time and water, Silva joined her. The two shared a loving shower with a bit of kisses but cut it short in order to make time. The two got their clothing and weapons, and headed to the door. Cami and Cuco saw them from the kitchen table as the two drowsy sisters ate their cereal while still in their pajamas.

"We'll be out on a job for a while, you two. Stay out of trouble, and try not to blow up the house. Again. Cucouroux." Silva jokingly glared at Cuco, who stuck her tongue out playfully. Cami and Song both smiled. 

As the two left the house, they headed to the boat and prepared to sail off. Adventure awaited them.

Silva had found the island a little while ago, but chose to very carefully pilot the edge of the island, searching for a rather stealthy way in. The element of surprise would be a very valuable asset for Silva. As they flew and searched, Silva began to go over the plan.
