Yunan woke up later on with a well-rested feeling as if everything in his body decided to sit in just the right position. He was alone when he woke up but he could tell that he was not alone for very long, he could also tell that his family was having a meal in the kitchen and were noticeably in a better mood from the way their voices sounded.Yunan stood up from his bed and took a shower before putting on some clothes, even if he was cleaned up daily, a shower after waking up was his habit and it was hard to build good habits, so he stuck with it as long as he could. Afterwards he rejoined his family to the welcoming arms or fists depending on personality, however, all of them were happy to see him up and running.
" I am sorry, I made you worry about me needlessly." Yunan bowed and apologized for having his family worry about him, he was happy that he had such a nice and bright family that held him in high regards. "Oh shut up and come eat with us, you must be famished" Leader was the first to answer him just to keep the others from asking about what happened, somethings should not be shared, even if they were as close as Debauchery, however, even though Yunan agreed he still provided a small explanation as he sat down and started stuffing his face.
"This was all thanks to the armour levelling up, it needed a lot of mana and thanks to our symbiosis I was the main provider after it consumed all the reserves we had, and to keep me from feeling the effects of the mana drain it knocked me unconscious, I woke up some time ago but I still needed to rest and replenish my mana and recover my optimal conditions, I wonder how much time has pa.s.sed".
"A week since you woke up and 2 months since you first fell, and if what you said is true then you should thank the armour, because you were in pain that even healing magic could not relieve, we witnessed your body break and restructure a few times, was that also because of symbiosis?" asked Ophelia. "It should be" replied Yunan "since we have such a relationship, the armor would try to upgrade my body to a level where I can handle its new powers, even though I don"t feel particularly changed, other than being able to control my tentacles better there is nothing else to worry about" Yunan took out two tentacles and used one to pat Ophelia on the head and the other to feed himself and a third to catch the unidentified flying objects that were sent his way to test his control over the tentacles.
"What can you do with those tentacles?" The question came from Fae instead of Balin who may have been itching to ask the same thing but thought he was not the correct candidate because of his tendency for perversion. "Pretty much anything I can think of, its an extra limb that I can control and change depending on the situation, if I am correct I can control about 10 of them at the moment, and don"t even think about it, I refuse to use them in any form of entertainment, no arguments".
Balin looked deflated while Yunan took back his tentacles, Sapphira and Drogon came back from the garden and competed on who could nuzzle at Yunan harder than the other, they were happy to have him back, Yunan could tell that there were some who wanted to do the same thing but it was neither the time nor the place for showing affection, and following that logic the next place for the family meeting was the cleansing pool because mild intimacy was not shunned here.
Here Yunan got to understand how much he was missed in the family, he knew they loved him, all of them, even Dustan who loves money more than himself had found a place for Yunan in his heart. It was a marvellous feeling that Yunan thought he would never experience from another person other than his mother, still, it was good to have a family that will miss you as much as you miss them.
It took a few days of effort to make the girls feel much better about letting Yunan out of their field of view, during this period of time Yunan learned about some of the things that happened when he was sleeping, for example, Lili"s complete disregard for the legion had earned her a scolding from the pope and risk of expulsion, and even now she is in a bad standing with their members because she left mid-fight to reach out to a stranger, as for Reina her royal family has simply removed her from the list of adventurers belonging to their organization and told her to do what she liked, even going as far as to say that she is no longer required to follow the rules of the family and become the next guardian.
Hermes has been coming over to smooth things with Ophelia because her loyalty was worth more in faith power than most of his priests, devotion was not directly translated to power but the strength of feeling was the true catalysts for granting a G.o.d power from his followers, Kitty has been found by her former owner, who she ran away from when he brought her to the dungeon, when she was out with Lina and Nina for shopping and he was beaten half to death, although he had filed complaints he had no evidence of legal ownership, thus the guild ignored him, simply because Kitty was registered under Yunan and they would rather anger an illegal slaver than bringing calamity on themselves and their families for a slave.
And finally Lina and Nina were contacted by their former mates who offered to take them away and let them join an organisation dedicated to the aid of former slaves and victims of illegal slavery, they still have not returned any answer, even though they had met said group many times when Yunan was fast asleep, therefore Yunan decided it was time to let the girls go, after all the reason they became his servants was because he was good to them and that was all, that drive must have died a long time ago, since he always treated them delicately and respectfully, as for kitty who seemed to be competing with Sapphira on who gets to be petted by Yunan, he felt she really wanted to be his pet and the slavery bond was just her way of pledging herself to him.
