"His name is Shuish, this is not my friend, but Adivaris's personal toy. I'm walking him..."
"Even so! I did not expect such predilections from the Prime Archon. And where are these found?"
"On one poisonous planet... I don't think they'll tell you the location, because it's very dangerous to be there alone there."
"Hey... Shuish..."
Gedeon extended his hand to stroke the red hair.
"Hra-ra..." the bee said enchantedly, slamming his big eyes, completely filled with dark blue. - How handsome! Will you give me what I ask?"
"What do you ask for?" - Gedeon was taken aback.
Shuish, without any embarrassment, buried his nose in the chest of the owner of the tower, actively probing his buttocks and crotch.
"Oh! - Gedeon screamed in surprise. - "Is this... how it's customary to meet people on your home planet? Are you getting into my pants right away?"
"Ah-ha ... he's just testing how meaningful communication with you could be!" — I explained, mocking him. - "Is it worth spending time on you? Maybe your size is not worth his attention."
"Shut up… you saw my size!" — He chuckled.
I did not interfere with the cheeky hugs of new acquaintances, however... Gedeon greeted this behavior with enthusiasm and, with burning eyes, completely probed the thin smooth body of Shuish, who climbed into his arms with his sticky fingers and kisses.
"What a... cute... and pleasant pet you are," the phoenix noted, whispering something in the bee's ear and invited me to go inside to the living room, where my slutty friend Irinel was laying on couch.
"Irsy! What a surprise! - he was sincerely delighted at my arrival, looking with curiosity at Shuish, hanging on Gedeon. - You have legs instead of a tail and wings. Wow! And how wonderful it is that you both made peace!"
Irinel rushed to hug and kiss me, sitting me down next to him and animatedly showering me with all sorts of gossip.
I was distracted by the conversations and did not notice that Gedeon and Shuish had disappeared somewhere. I jumped up and started calling the bee.
"Bastard, Shuish! Where did he run off to?"
"Why are you so worried ? - Irinel asked, looking around. - He will be fine!"
"Mmm... I'm responsible for this pet... where did they go?"
"Do you think they are going to do something?"
"This Shuish is completely uncontrollable and very lustful... despite the fact that he is sexless."
"And what? Gedeon won't do anything bad to him... Do you still not trust him after your reconciliation?"
"Actually, it's normal not to trust anyone in such a dissolute society."
Irinel froze for a couple of moments in a trance and noted with a laugh, holding my hand.
"I checked: he's okay... They're in his bedroom... He likes it with him."
"What? Is he fucking him?"
"He-he, something like that... don't worry so much! Usually he is extremely delicate with such gentle partners like women..."
"Why are you so calm about this? - I was indignant. - Your husband is now having fun with some poisonous insect! You never know what the consequences would happen!"
"Yes, so be it, if Shuish inspired him so much for a love adventure. It's great that Gedeon will shake things up a bit after his forced divorce. For so many days he has not been himself, in deep depression... I have already despaired of bringing him to his senses..."
"Do you love Gedeon so much that you allow him everything? Amazing!"
"I already told you that he is the only one for me! He is the man of my dreams and I fell in love with him at first sight and forever... I will do everything to make him happy!"
"But don't you forget about your pleasures too?" I grinned.
"Well, of course... and I'm very glad to see you... I was going to relax with you so many times, but you moved to live with Adivaris, and my relationship with him is not very pleasant. I can't hang out with him in a friendly way to talk to you more closely."
"Hah... I have become more modest in my carnal desires!"
"Why is that so?"
"A new magic has settled in me now, it's complex, it's still unstable, I need to learn how to control it, and not waste myself on sex with random partners."
"Ooh-ho! How Adivaris brainwashed you! — Irinel noted mockingly. - Don't trust anyone one hundred percent! He's also a manipulator! You won't even notice how he controls you. We must listen to our wishes! Do as you please, whatever your soul desires. Sleep with whomever you want. With your magic... or even with any monster!"
"Do you have monsters?"
Irinel nodded with a mysterious smile.
"Are they very scary?"
"Well, I put it this way... let's say these are very exotic men... half-breeds from various animals from other planets... They used to be bred for military purposes, so that they would fight on the battlefield with flesh eaters. Now that the war is over, they live on the lower floors of Illuria... they serve as guards so that all sorts of homeless thieves do not hang out on the night streets of the capital. Some of the ancient magicians are their parents..."
…What? That's the news! Syrinxes are quite keen on hybridization. Although, why was I surprised? I was brought to Xantari for the same purpose...
"And are they somehow dangerous?"
"Well... I didn't cross paths with them because I'm not allowed to mate with them... I'm of pure royal blood... and they're unpredictable and aggressive. Who needs offspring from such creatures? Only big issues!"
