Chapter 53 - Ch. 52 A Great Deal

With a yawn, I woke up to find a suspicious lack of pervert inside the little nook and smoke rising from below. Half expecting some monster to have killed and cooked the pervert I look down and spot a fire but the girl isn't in it but the maker of it. She's tossing the wood shavings from the holes I made for her yesterday into the fire as she cooks what looks suspiciously like a large turkey... Seeing the pile of black feathers next to it I laugh... That crow doesn't look right... Taking a deep breath in and activation my mist creation on a long out-breath I manage to create the mist multiple times over. I kinda wish it would just cost more health for more mist but eh whatever I guess my race isn't meant to have this much health. Collecting and condensing the mist into little clouds to shroud my wings I spread my wings and dive down catching the wind with my wings as I got close to the ground leaving a trail of vapor behind as the wind catches some of my mist and pulls it out of the cloud and it chases after me under my control I flap my wings and head to the top of a nearby tree looking out over the forest clinging to the pathetic little point of this "tall" tree I can't help but remember my past life... Trash the whole forest is full of trash... Nothing but pathetic trees. This forest might be endless but it's endless trash!!! Feeling an overwhelming confused emotion mixing in with my anger I remember the little girl whose roasting my kill and jump from the tree gently gliding down to the ground before finally using my wings to stop myself from going forward above her as I hover a foot above her and fall next to her on the side not covered in feathers.

"AHHH!!!"

Staring at the girl who I just scared like an idiot I can't help but wonder whether or not I should keep this mount around she's so easily scared what is she gonna do when something actually happens? I guess cower behind me...

Seeing my annoyance after she had calmed herself down she gives a bitter smile before putting up her hands and saying "I'm sorry you startled me"

Huh... She's talking to me now... First, she's groping my junk while I sleep and now she's talking to me... Does she think I'm human or something? Ah, whatever. At least it's less boring if someone talks. I don't think this mist body even has a voice box so I can't even make a sound with my mouth. Now, wait for a second... Looking at the girl closely I hop up onto her shoulder and realize... She's shrinking!!! Of course, that's not what I realized... but it's a fun thought let us see how much effect this mist body talent has? Alex if you would be so kind.

Huh... I am growing fairly quick I guess. I might as well try the other thing while I got some time. Sitting next to the girl I begin to meditate with a slow and steady out-breath I maximize my usages of mist creation before immediately using that mist for my newest skill mist healing and breathing it back in. Noticing that not all the mist is used for mist healing I consumed the rest for mist body repeating the cycle over and over as I damage myself to create mist before using that mist to heal the damage and strengthen my body. After a little while of my little skill-based meditation, I am awoken by a gentle hand nudging me. Opening my eyes I look at the girl who has finished cooking the turkey, refuse to call that weird-looking bird a crow that looks exactly like a turkey, and has placed a good chunk of the meat in front of me. Do I need to eat? Eh, whatever I'll give it a try stretching my neck forward I begin to munch on the turkey. It actually tastes pretty good. While I'm eating I continue to monitor my breaths and activate my skills without paying all my attention I find myself going from 5-6 activations of mist creation a breath to 2-3 but that's to be expected I guess.

After a few bites, I notice the girl has gathered the feathers she plucked and some shreds of her shirt and is quietly using a broken bird bone as a needle to sew the feathers into her clothes after a little while she gets lost in it and after getting the whole front, or back of her shirt down she pulls her arms in and turns it back around absent-mindedly as I munch and watch the little girl expose her chest to me I notice the scratches are still there so I cover her chest in a thin layer of mist that I condensed into a cloudlike barrier and use mist healing on her being careful not to interrupt her careful sowing as she uses the feathers to cover the hole in her shirt. Eventually, I can no longer see her exposed breasts or the cloud cover I had given them as she has worked her way down and began to weave the little feathers into a shirt lower and lower. After hours of work she has turned her once almost entirely backless shirt into a midriff-bearing jacket of feathers as I pulled the cloud barrier away I wasn't gentle enough and startled her and her hands stopped... Then her eyes lock with mine and her face flushes red as she realizes she had just exposed herself to me for a couple of hours straight.

She quickly puts down the remaining feathers and hides her face looking the other way. I inspect her craftsmanship and am slightly surprised... This mount might also serve as a quality maid... hmm and she even serves diner plus a show... All around pretty good deal price-wise... I mean I did have to save her but I also got exp from that I guess... hmm she's a pervert and weirdly conscious about sexual interaction with what she should consider to be an animal... not to mention she treats me like another person a lot... She's got her faults for sure but I guess I could get worse companions at least she can follow directions... Eh, I guess I'll keep her for now...

After giving her a while to cool down from her own little pity show I climb onto her shoulder and make an arrow and a mist cover before settling down and half-do my meditation. Still can't focus entirely as I gotta monitor the surveillance and give direction but at least I don't need to worry about walking. The girl seems to talk a lot as we go... Now that I think about it. What's the language she is speaking? Hmm, maybe I can understand it because of the binding. On a deep in-breath, I realize something...
