With nothing better to do Hunter started to look Ori over. Exactly like her picture and description on the store she has shiny red scales with pink undertones mixed in. Noticing his glances she simply glanced down, hoping she could cause his interest to rise.
"Once that meathead is back you'll be sleeping in his room, he's allowed to cuddle with you but you are to not allow anything further to happen. Once he has paid for you in full he will be your master and I will transfer all authority to him. Are there any questions you would like to ask?"
Finally looking up to Hunter she thought for a moment.
"Is there no way for you to simply be my master?"
"No, I've already promised the little lizard so you will be his. Don't be too sad though, he has potential and considering my girls treat him almost like a son I'm sure I'll be forced to evolve him eventually."
With a puzzled look on her face she seems to finally notice the unconscious girls around her. Each one seems to be giving her a suppressive feeling that was slowly growing stronger.
"Just be useful around her and make the kid happy, you'll be rewarded if you do well."
"Yes master."
"Hunter."
"Yes….. Hunter."
"Good, now go introduce yourself to the others and I'm sure they will find something for you to do."
With a nod Ori left the room, she still seemed disappointed but there was nothing she could do to change things. Considering that her new master didn't seem like a bad person she knew she was already lucky enough.
With that out of the way Hunter continued to watch over the four, slowly browsing the shop, the forum for any good trades, and of course laughing at all the confusion and fear he apparently caused by becoming the first tyrant. Looking at all the different chat rooms devoted to talking about him he didn't know if it was good or bad, either way he found it the pretenders and haters to be funny.
Noticing he was still tired he decided to slowly lay down not disturbing Frost who had a painful expression on her face. Kissing the top of her head then the twin's heads he drifted off.
After enjoying a few hours of sleep he felt something moving on his chest. Opening his eyes to find Frost's eyes staring back at him. What were once crystal clear blue had turned a noticeable shade darker that added depth that drew you in. Her scales seemed to have grown smaller more compact and had a brighter shine to them, of course her old scales were shed off and now covered the bed.
Looking around he noticed everyone was starting to wake up, then he noticed the smell. With every advancement came a cleansing of sorts and Hunter has gone through a few of them. Needless to say after everyone became conscious of it they needed to clean up. With a group effort they started to get rid of the waste their bodies ejected. While they did this he took in their physical changes.
Frost's eyes weren't her only change, what was once snow white hair turned into more of a crystal blue. She grew a few inches and now looked to be a teenager of around fourteen or fifteen. Her chest had started to develop and her curves had started to become more pronounced. The hunger in her eyes as she glanced towards Hunter seemed to have grown stronger as well.
The twins also grew a bit taller from 160 centimeter to around 175. Their skin seemed to shine in a healthy white tone, instead of their lightly tanned look from before. Their hair turned into a black with purple tones running through it. Looking like what Hunter pictured would be moon elves.
Finally Cassandra probably had the largest changes out of the four. Her scales became a slick glossy black that resembles marble. Compacting and connecting in a more seamless fashion heighten their beauty. Her height stayed the same but her build went from slim to curvy and her face which had slight lizard aspects before was now more human. She also had slight bumps on her shoulder blades that might become wings of her own in the future.
Altogether their became more beautiful in an almost primal yet pure way. This caused Hunter to have trouble looking away from any of them.
Noticing this Frost started to be a bit bolder in her looks and started to purposefully draw his eye. This didn't go unnoticed and the twins followed suit. Hunter started to have a tough time controlling himself before a knock at the door interrupted the mood.
Sighing with relief that he wouldn't have to face Frost's feels just yet he opened the door and stepped out. Of course that relief quickly left him when he saw who knocked, his little sister Lily. He hadn't seen her in at least four years and she also felt awkward meeting after so long, especially with what happened beforehand.
"Hunter?"
"Yea, how are the other two doing Lily."
Her face became sad and she looked like she wanted to cry. With a sob in her voice.
"They aren't physically hurt but."
"I get it. You guys manage to settle in ok though, do you need anything?"
She shook her head.
"I heard you woke up so I just wanted to thank you I guess."
She turned around but before she left he heard her whisper "She was still our mother."
Not knowing how to reply he simply stayed silent as Lily left. Feeling a headache coming on with what to do about his siblings. He felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist, turning around to find Frost as she quickly went up on her toes and gave him a kiss.
Not wanting to think anymore he kissed back. He felt conflicted because he saw her as a little girl but she grew too fast for those feelings to solidify. Now he will simply respond to her feelings without a care, because from here on she was his.
Just before Frost could drag him back into the room Max came running down the hallway. Right before he could talk Frost gave off a burst of killing intent that had Max reaching for his sidearm. Hunter appeared beside him and stopped his movement.
"Frost enough, what can I help you with Max."
Max looked a little sorry and awkward at his reaction so he quickly moved his hand to scratch the back of his head.
"Sorry to interrupt but you have guest."
"Who?"
"Ratmen."
"Sigh, I wish people could explain in more than one word."
"Look there is around forty ratmen, a swarm of dog sized rats, and two tiger size rats. if the ratmen in front weren't waving in a very friendly way we probably would already have started a firefight. Their leader wants to speak to the mighty lizard human."
Hunter points to himself.
"Yes idiot now get downstairs before someone's finger twitches."
Going to leave Frost grabs his arm and has a look of visible anger.
"Sigh, go get dressed and grab the girls. Meet me downstairs."
With a pouting fine as his answer she reentered their room. Hunter could only shake his head at another headache coming along as he followed Max.
