After dinner, Fortuna took Venus and Hermes with her leaving behind a few kisses for Yunan, she was quite pleased with how he handled the ascended, for a mortal he did a very good job. After the the other G.o.ds left, Yunan sent away his friends and stayed with Hephaestus alone, drinking some lava wine and snaking on succulent fruits.Hephaestus seemed to be troubled by something and was not able to express his need correctly so Yunan started the conversation for him " If it likes me, it cannstay around and play with Drogon, although i doubt i can take it out now and then since i am doing the underwater floors at this time, ibhave no idea how long it will take to reach the 40th floor, but if ut can wait i do not mind having her join me"
Hephaestus seemed a bit relieved as he responded " the Lamia spread word about you willing to have her with you if she wanted to roam the dungeon, and it has been a hot topic when i was away from the island, when i came back yesterday i was told this one here was chosen to accompany you and if you are agreeable enough we might have you receive some awakened as guests for a period of time". Yunan just nodded his head silently in agreement, he had nothing to lose and it was not a big responsibility if he could feed them the same as Drogon.
"We are sentient beings, but we have no contact with the races, even the trades we have are very limited in contact" the cat jumped on the table and walked to Yunan " what we need is getting used to the other sentient races, if you agree to having me here, you basically agree to becoming the link between the awakened and the sentient, are you sure you want to do that?".
Yunan rubbed the cats head gently "i do not want such a troublesome role, i just wanted to have fun with an awakened, my first contact with your kind was not the best and my contact with the Lamia wasn"t that bad, so i thought i would invite her to have some fun if she ever wanted to, that is all i can offer, i have friends from the sentient races and maybe you can find a home for your friends with them, as for me, if you feel like playing around and relaxing, then everyone is welcome, i do not discriminate much"
"So you are saying that you are the wrong person to link us with the world" the cat lay down lazily and let Yunan pet her. "Yes, after all i kill your kind all the time, i fight them to get stronger, i eat them to get stronger, i ferment their corpses into wine and fruits to get stronger and i feed them to my armor to get even more powerful, i do not regret it, as for the awakened, i do not quite have any impression on them, if it comes to it, i can kill them the same as beasts, monsters and the sentient races, my friends share this view with me, they come by all the time, so you might get to see them soon, as for me being a good guy, i dont know or care about it, i live by my own way and let the world turn its by own way, convinced?"
"So what is my status if i ever join you, not just a guest, but a full membership what will you offer me?" Asked the cat mid purring, she seemed more relaxed by Yunan"s words than she should be. "A pet, just like Drogon here" Yunan telepathically told Drogon to stop being lazy and join the conversation "he should tell you the percs if you take me as your master". Drogon lazily leaped into the table and went to lay beside the cat "you get food, usually the choicest cut of the day"s kills, every now and then he buys some good things with high levels, he does not call on you unless its too bothersome or too deadly, its not much work either way, and you get to laze about and absorb mana directly from him without doing much, oh the cuddles are endless".
The cat seemed convinced as it also huddled closer to Drogon and both of them took a nap, Yunan and Hephaestus laghed heartily at the two sloths, after a while Hephaestus stood up "give her a good name, and take care of her, i"ll keep in touch about the matter with letting the awakened be your guests, as for now, if you do this the right way, both me and the awakened would owe you a big one", "forget owing me, you have already seen my friends and how they are, i think the worst possibility is your awakened becoming angry at being the newest toy in the party, as for debts and what not just forget it, we are all having some form of benefits, so there is no need to worry about it".
Hephaestus left soon after looking much younger and more energetic than ever, as for Yunan he went to find Ophelia, she and kitty were on cuddling duty tonight mostly because Ophelia might lose her G.o.d and she might need comfort, as for the part about his new cat, well he left that for tomorrow, it was the start of the weekend and the extended family would be present, they can think of a name for her then.
As expected, Ophelia was feeling a little bit sad but she cheered up upon hearing that Yunan missed cuddling with her, so she happily accompanied him for sleeping, Kitty did not seem to mind Ophelia as much as the others, probably because she was the sweetest thing next to Reina, and Ophelia always had kept to herself and didn"t push herself on master Yunan, still, Maybe it was a natural thing like how she followed Yunan simply because he smells good to her.
After a quiet and peaceful night, the portable home turned private dimension started getting busy and lively with the big family a.s.sembling on another stress free weekend, full of happiness and joy and tension relief.
