The two of us stood there for a while until Gaia finally pulled back from me. Her wooden face and my chest were now a mess of sticky sap.
"I am sorry for making you all a mess and my own face!" Gaia exclaimed as she looked at me and touched her own face.
"Don't worry about it. Let's go up, and we can go wash off in the bath. This is only my third trip today, but I am not complaining," I said with a chuckle as I offered Gaia my hand again.
"Are the girls that you are with going to be okay with me staying with you? I can sense that they all care about you," Gaia said, not taking my hand.
"No, in fact, you may have solved one of the issues that I had run into. That is if you want. I am sure you know what I did with two of the girls in this tree, right?" I asked, and Gaia's wooden face blushed nervously as she put her hands together.
