Chapter 196: Interruptions
The rooms were quite sizeable, being 10' wide and around 15' to the back wall. Inside their room, Geth began pulling items out of his inventory.
The first thing he pulled out was a king-size bed and large furs made from bears that were hunted in the Forest Dungeon's hunting grounds.
"We should replace these with Direwolf furs. They're much softer."
Zolis sat on the bed and rubbed against the soft material. She had already utilized the Cleansing Rune while he was preparing a place to sleep.
Geth couldn't help but chuckle.
She had already removed her equipment and wore a flimsy nightgown that had been crafted by one of the Tailors.
He didn't understand the purpose of wearing such a thing. If you were going to wear see-through clothes, why wear anything at all?
"How about we survive first? We'll see if Filthy will skin one for us later. He's better at conserving material than I am."
He followed her example and took advantage of the Cleansing Rune before stripping down and sliding on a pair of wool leggings.
Geth pulled out a few more items, one being the Transmutation Table. It was something he'd never bothered with since they had previously lacked an abundance of Skill Cards.
The circular table was around 3' in diameter. Its size was about that of an average car tire.
He looked carefully over the different card slots on the board and studied the Formation that would ultimately create a new Skill.
There was something that struck him as odd while staring at the tablet.
'Albus, doe-'
"Srrnnkkk!"
Geth was interrupted by a loud snore coming from behind him. He turned and found Zolis passed out at an odd angle, hanging off the edge of the bed.
"Ha, and she says she doesn't snore."
Shaking his head, he lifted her into a more comfortable position. Geth draped the covers over her and moved her hair out of her face.
It seemed that she was watching him but fell asleep before he could do anything interesting. He stared at her sleeping figure for a while before turning back to his work.
It felt like the temperature in the room was rising. Her face flushed even further as her mind filled with delightful images.
*Cough*
Geth could see where the situation was going and stooped down to pick up her furs, lightly placing them over her shoulder.
For Sindri, this just made things worse. The proximity caused by his actions only caused her to writhe even more.
"So, what did you need?"
Geth had already receded to his seat by the Transmutation Table. He was sitting cross-legged in front of the tablet and studying it again.
A wave of embarrassment washed over Sindri when she realized what had just happened.
"I.. uh.. I jus.."
She really wasn't sure what to say. Zolis had given her this outfit and told her it was okay to stay with them.
The two had gotten quite close since they met, and Sindri was attracted to them both. She hadn't expected that Zolis would already be asleep.
Her embarrassment was further fueled when Geth began to laugh. He already had an idea of what had happened.
He patted the ground beside him, pulling out another set of furs and placing them on the floor.
"Come on and have a seat."
Sindri walked over and took a seat beside him. He looked her up and down once more before going back to his work.
"What is this thing?"
She could see that she had interrupted whatever he was working on and couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed.
"This is called a Transmutation Table. You can feed it Skill Cards to upgrade them without having to use SP."
She sighed in relief when she found he wasn't upset with her. It was even more relieving that he hadn't sent her away.
She resigned herself to staying quiet and watched what he was doing curiously.
