She couldn't help it, she was very very impressed. She hadn't thought that she would ever be wearing a bra again with her increased size let alone the most comfortable bra of her life! The straps and fit was somehow perfect, magically reshaped to fit her body, changing anywhere where things might awkwardly rub or pinch or weigh, of course helped along by the cups of the bra which levitated and cupped her breasts up in such a wonderfully comfortable way that it felt like she was resting on feather pillows.

She grinned at the vulpine. "Okay, you did good here. Are you sure the cowkins won't mind?"

"Nah, they practically showered me with them after what Fey did to them, I just had to make a not so sincere promise that Fey would be coming back."

Lily gave her a look of feigned outrage, but that quickly broke into another grin, she couldn't help it, she could grow so much larger without any problem at all now!

As Lily twirled on the spot, shaking her new bust someone stepped into the alley. A stranger.

The stranger froze in place, seemingly taken by surprise by the girls. After a moment she hesitantly stepped forward.

"Uhm, h-hi?"

Lily paused in her happy and innocent twirling to find this new person.

The new person was human-like with long wavy brown hair. Her eyes were blue and her face freckled, she wore the common fashion of short shorts and a blouse. Slightly more out of place were a pair of plate like ears sticking from the top of her head, giant mouse ears, pink on the inside and brown and white furred on the back.

The girl was quite clearly a mousekin, emphasized by the mouse tail that swung gently back and forth below her shorts. A bag was on her hip that looked oddly familiar, an ornate thing with tooled leather and green and blue sewn patterns, although it had been clearly damaged, the sewing cut in places and many stitches puncturing the leather where it had been meticulously fixed from some slash or other. It took a moment for Lily to realise what it reminded her of, it was quite like the Dimensional Bag Ellaria kept on her hip.

"Who the hell are you?" said Flora, suspicious.

The mousekin flinched, near losing her footing as Flora spoke.

"M-miss KillFuck S-soulShitter, I'm j-just a guide! Really!"

Flora's expression went from a scowl to instant gleeful delight as the mousekin used her adventuring name.

"You know my adventurers name! Where, where did you hear it!?"

The mousekin looked even more flustered, "I, erm, read it in the guild's r-registry- I-" she paused as she noticed the scowl slowly returning to the gnome girl's face, "But I overheard a lot about you in the AG's bar! The powerful gnome kineticist who can crush her enemies and hear the lamentations of their widows!"

The scowl evaporated, once more returning to a pleased grin.

"Awesome. See I told you Vivi, having a badass adventuring name is so worth."

"That's cool and all mousey but what do you want? You seem like you know us," said Vivi, a tentacle gently stroking her belly.

"Well, it's kind of my job, I-"

She was interrupted from continuing however by Ellara and Fey appearing in the alley, the centaur towering over the elf as she led the way to the group, her large hooves clopping noisily on the paving.

"Got it. Sorry about that, took a while to figure out which dungeons haven't been ransacked and which are just too dangerous for us to bother with. You would not believe the mess this AG has made of its archives, I ended up organising half of their dungeon documents for them."

Lily perked up. "A dungeon? We're going to a dungeon? Like proper adventurers?"

"Yes, a promising one. It's been dived successfully a few times and they found the level of danger consistent throughout, but it has not been fully explored meaning that there will be loot sitting there for the taking."

Lily fisted the air and whooped.

"The only problem is that the map is a scrawled note, if even that, and just a few described landmarks to go by. This may prove problematic, I don't want to-"

The mousegirl raised a hand and waited patiently, Ellaria caught sight of her and seemed to notice for the first time that there was a random stranger amongst her band.

"...Who are you?"

"Ah, I couldn't help but overhear you were planning on dungeon diving when you were in the AG."

The elf narrowed her eyes at the mousekin.

"If this is a threat from another band to undercut us I'm going to roast-

"NO! No, not that! I'm a guide! I guide bands around the local area for a tiny small fractional share of the plunder. Trust me I can help, my success rate is 100%! I know the ancient forests like the back of my hand, which is important, it's like a maze out there! Do you know how many bands go out all excited and enthusiastic only to end up having to trudge back in humiliation because they can't find the dungeon or monster they were after? LOADS! It happens all the time around here. That's where my services come in. Hi, I'm Octavia, adventurer's guide, explorer in my free time, nice to meet you!" she smiled hopefully as her speech came to an end.

"Give me one reason why I shouldn't turn those mouse ears of yours into sizzling bacon."

A glossy white tentacle waved at Ellaria causing her to round on Vivi. "What?"

"Aren't you forgetting the reason we are going to this dungeon captain? Fey needs help and sooner rather than later would probably be better. Plus I don't really care if we have to give the mousekin a few coins if it means I don't have to go humping Wummy back and forth from the city and bumfuck nowhere because this incompetent AG doesn't bother with real maps."

Octavia nodded furiously in response. "Exactly!"

Ellaria set her lips in a line, clearly annoyed. But after a moment she let out a breath.

"...Fine. We can admittedly use a guide."

"Yes! Don't worry I'll be the best guide Magic Mog has ever had, I'll take you on the most perfect, most enjoyable-"
