Fey looked with dismay at the pair, what the hell were two small unarmed non-combatants doing trying to travel alone? She grabbed Kayla and pulled her close, flipping up the other's hood revealing a bedraggled and confused Lily which she pulled close too. Closing her eyes she let her healing magic pour out into the two, rolling it through and over their bodies with a steady green light, smoothing over cuts and bruises and sore feet. The two girls gasped and shivered in her hands as they were healed, their aches and pains soothed away.
After she was done she pushed back Kayla and looked her in the eyes, not Lily though, who had her face buried in Fey's chest and was desperately embracing her, her eyes squeezed shut.
"What the hell are you doing out here? Alone in the woods is no place for two defenceless inn keepers."
Kayla blinked and looked down at her now healed and whole body in disbelief.
"Y-you healed me?"
"Yes, I am a healer. Now please tell me what happened Kayla."
The stunned otterkin glanced at the rest of the band, her eyes going very round as they spotted Flora. After taking a moment to gather herself she cleared her throat.
"W-well, we were, uhm, physically close and you changed everything for us, opened up a whole new world, but, uh, when you left things didn't improve. Our husbands lost it and Hope called in the tribe. They decided to take all of us back home to judge our husbands for failure to do as the tribe wanted."
"Okay and?"
"We didn't want to go! They'd just try and pressure us into something equally awful. Hope told us that she would explain our side and said we should leave, so we did, but we didn't know how hard it would be!"
Vivi rubbed her chin. "I guess with your piddly little legs a days journey turns into three, and then even worse you decided to go without having a clue how to fight."
"Y-yes, there were… wolves." The otterkin shivered at the memory. "We had to sleep in the trees, and hide, a lot."
"But why Kayla? Wasn't there some other way?"
Kayla gave her a strange look. "We wanted to find you Fey, we decided we wanted to find you and join your adventuring band!"
"Uh, say what now?" said Vivi.
Lily wiggled against Fey's chest, burying her head in Fey's vast breasts which outsized her several times over. She clutched at the softness for dear life, unable to fully reach her arms around them.
As Fey looked down at the otterkin Ellaria stepped up beside them.
"The answer to that is a hard no I'm afraid."
Fey felt Lily freeze up against her chest and begin trembling. Kayla gave Ellaria an outraged look and balled her fists.
"Why not! We came all this way!"
Ellaria raised a finger. "Number one you are innkeepers, not adventurers." A second finger came up. "Number two you don't have a combat class and have no clue how to fight." a third finger was raised, "And number three you are incredibly tiny and liable to get stepped on and smooshed by a monster. Flora gets away with it because she can fly and is incredibly magically talented."
"Ahthankyou, ahthankyou." said Flora doing something that looked vaguely like a flourishing bow although it was difficult to tell with the size of her belly.
"B-b-but we came all this way! We risked our lives!"
"Did you come for the band or because you wanted to be with me?" murmured Fey.
Kayla opened her mouth then closed it, a deep rosy blushing colouring her cheeks.
"Look, we can take you to town and drop you off but that's about it."
Kayla looked absolutely devastated by this news. Fey looked down to see Lily's face peeking up between her breasts, her eyes big and watery and pleading.
Fey sighed, honestly she barely knew the otterkin twins but she had had sex with them, and she had filled them with an immense amount of her own cum. She found herself feeling a little possessive over the pair, not to mention their pathetic state was strongly activating her protective motherly instincts.
"Ella, could they be unofficial members?"
Kyla's eyes lit up and she leapt on the small hope. "Yes! Let us be unofficial members!"
"And do what?" scoffed Flora.
"We- we could carry stuff for you!" said Kayla desperately floundering for ideas.
"Nope, sorry, don't need it." dismissed Flora.
"Why?!"
Vivi gestured at Ellaria's dimensional bag with her sword.
"We've got a dimensional bag, carrying stuff isn't a problem."
Kayla seemed to sink down with disappointment.
