Chapter 35: Uncalled For, And A Tempting Offer

"Wow, you came just at the right moment. Everyone is getting tired, and I am sure that you and your daughter don't want us sleeping in here," I said as I turned to find Mex walking over in a burgundy housecoat that had a black lining.

"The girls know where their rooms are; you just have to ask them. Nushi, the trim looks clean, but you know that they will just grow back the same way," Mex said with a piteous voice that made me want to punch him, and I wasn't the target of his dramatism.

"I trimmed them for her, and I was going to help her mold them," I said, still puzzled over the how, but I did have a couple ideas; one involved heavyweight and some string.

"Shape them? Did my darling daughter not tell you why her horns shrink down? It's because she has such a poor attitude, isn't that, OOF!"

Mex's speech was cut off as a book hit him directly in the mouth and knocked him over.

"GET OUT! ALL OF YOU!" Nushi screamed.

I wasn't sure what the reason was for Mex to be acting, but I got up with Mary and grabbed him by the housecoat. I waved for the girls to follow as Nushi threw herself into her pillow, and then dragged Mex out with us, and left him outside the door.

She must have gotten him good, or he was playing possum so I could ask him about why he was such a condescending jackass to his own daughter. I would have stopped him, but this wasn't my house.

So I let Jilly go in front, and I followed her to the front on the right side from where I was facing north.

"We have stayed here many times before, and Mary usually lives here, but she is forever wandering off," Jilly said as she opened the big door to the tower and ducked inside.

"I don't getsss lost! You alwaysss findsss me, and bringsss me back!" Mary hissed, trying to defend herself.

"I never do it on purpose, it's that stupid luck of yours, but I did get free meals out of it when I came to visit, but I am too big for the place as you can see," Jilly said as she lowered her centipede body, so she was at my height, but proportionally, she was much bigger them me.

"I'll see what I can do tomorrow or the next day. Before we go in the morning, I want to spend some time with each of you to figure out your capabilities and how your abilities can work apart. After that, we will head out with Nushi and go meet the four Elementals I met today," I explained, and Jilly nodded.

"If you want, you can come sleep with me… YAWN! I am pretty tired, but I could stay up for a bit longer if you want to have some fun?" Jilly, give a yawn and stretch but moving up close to me at the same time.

Now that she was this close to me, it was not only intense how much bigger she was than me, but the fact that her breasts were each the size of my head! I really wanted to take her up on the offer, but I couldn't leave the Cerberus girls all alone on their first night, and I didn't think that Mary was going anywhere.

"Maybe another night Jilly, I think everyone is tired, and I am no exception. We can do it another night," I said non committedly, but Jilly took it as a promise.

"Good, don't make me come find you," Jilly said, and then turned from me and went over to a set of stairs that went down a level, and then she and her long red glossy body disappeared down into it.

I smiled and shook my head and then turned to the girls.

"Ready to go to bed? Where is your room, Mary?" I asked the Cerberus girls, and then Mary.

"It'sss up," Mary hissed by my ear softly; both she and the snake must be very tired because there didn't even hiss when she did.

So, I headed to the opposite side of the room from where Jilly had gone down. There was a set of stairs leading up that I walked up with the girls walking beside me.

Once we got up top, the room was mostly bare, but there was a large bed with pillows. I walked over to the bed and then turned to the Cerberus girls.

"Do you want to sleep in your own bed, or…"

*Poof!*

I was about to offer them to sleep in the bed, but they transformed back into the three-headed brown dog. I noticed that the girl's tail was short, and it looked scared; something must have happened to them, but it would probably be a painful memory, so best to leave it be for now.

"You can sleep on the bed then. Mary, are you going to sleep with us or, can I sleep on the ground?" I asked Mary as the girl bounded onto the bed and made themselves comfortable.

"I don't want to sssleep on the cold floorsss!" Mary hissed at me.

"No, I mean I will sleep on the floor, and you can sleep in the bed with Cera, Bera, and Riez," I explained to Mary, but one of us wasn't getting it.

"Howsss do I sssleep in the bed if you aresss on the floorsss?" Mary asked in confusion, and I gave up because I was the one not taking the hint.

I went over and kicked my very beat-up shoes off; I would be lucky if they lasted till tomorrow, even with how beaten they got today. After that, I laid down with Mary, and she loosened her coils and removed them from my waist.

Then she slithered over me and curled into my chest and arms, pressing her face into my bare chest and giving it a lick. After that, she pulled back a bit and then wrapped her tail loosely around my one leg.

Cera, Bera, and Riez were already fast asleep at the end of the bed, and the sun was finally going down. This was quite the interesting first day of my new life, but I could live with it for the rest of my life if this was how I ended every day.

I warped my arms gently around Mary and soon fell asleep.
