"It's so good to see you again, Zaophi. Ahhhh... I'm just surprised you were out and about." Naibuna's voice wavered slightly as she spoke to her old friend. The pair of futas were seated comfortably next to each other on the padded seats of the train. The crowds of the earlier commute had thinned out a bit, leaving the passenger area rather open.
"Absolutely! There's just so much going on right now. I'm on my way back to the... ughhh... the flight control center right now. I was just home to check up on the kids. There's a handful of arrivals and departures scheduled for the next few days." Zaophi moaned lightly.
The two friends had known each other for most of their lives, having been in the same class at school. They were fundamentally different people, Naibuna focused on art while Zaophi had a love of spacecraft engineering. Even their bodies were complete opposites, Nai being a muscular amazon while Zaophi was always wiry and thin. What had kept their bond of friendship alive was an appreciation of antiquated alternative style. Nai preferred the pop-punk aesthetic with splashes of color. Her friend, however, was always adorned in gothic fashion.
Today Zaophi was in a black dress that had layers of fabric, lace and sheer material flowing down to her calves. Black stockings with an intricate lace pattern of flowers and vines were pulled all the way up her legs. Similar long lace gloves adorned her forearms. Her rather flat chest was covered by the dress as well, just enough to leave tantalizing collar bones exposed. The futa had long black hair that hung down her shoulders and was wearing black eye liner.
"Is there... mmmm... some kind of migration going on?" Naibuna questioned.
"Oh, no. Just normal trade and colonists moving about." Zaophi sighed. Her job always kept her busy. She mainly dealt with the maintenance and launch readiness of any spacecraft that came through Umnara's main interstellar port. Of course automatons did a lot of the heavy lifting and physical examination, but it was always good to have an expert look things over and instruct the machines in what to do.
"Hmmm, we've got another thirty minutes before your stop. And this little one has been so kind in sucking us off. Wanna double team her?" Nai proposed. The young teen kneeling in front of the two futanari smiled with Nai's cock in her mouth. She'd approached the two women just as they'd gotten on the train and offered to give them both a blow job. She'd been alternating between their delicious cocks for a while now, worshiping the pillars of futa meat with sloppy reverence.
"I was waiting for you to suggest that." Zaophi smirked and stroked her own cock. Her dress was specifically designed to split down the front and allow her slender six inch member to poke free. It was the only part of Zaophi's body that was heavily modded. It appeared to be a normal penis with a few fancy tattoos spiraling along it's length. But Nai knew her friend liked to have some tricks built into it.
The two futanari gently guided the teen onto all fours and positioned on either end of her. Zaophi took her pussy and Nai took her mouth. Both futas were rock hard and eager to play. They quickly penetrated their respective holes and began rocking their hips in unison. Nai appreciated the girls horns, long and thick red branches that poked through her hair and curved slightly upward. They were classic devil horns, popular among a certain subset of the population. Nai also loved the feeling of the girl's forked tongue as it wrapped around her cock.
Gently grasping the horns of her teen cock sucker, Naibuna pushed her entire length into the girl's throat. She kept her ridges deflated for the initial penetration but then expanded them once it was fully sheathed. Zaophi took a similar approach with her penetration, sinking deep into the girl's pussy before activating her mods. The goth futa loved to surprise with a number of interesting and unique mods to her penis. One of which was the ability to vibrate it in multiple different ways.
"Uuughh!" The devil girl gagged around Nai's ribbed cock as Zaophi activated her vibrations. Her entire cock could buzz powerfully but for now only the head was humming with a targeted attack on the girls deepest spots. Both futas thrust with a moderate pace while their cocksleeve moaned and squirmed between them. The trio was hardly drawing any attention from the other passengers. The excitement of the earlier commute had died down a bit.
"Any news on the new colonies?" Naibuna grunted as her fuck rod was lodged all the way down the throat of their plaything.
"Nothing I've heard. Everything's still moving around." Zaophi responded with a satisfied moan as she clapped the ass of the teen. The two friends had double-teamed their fair share of young sluts together and knew the perfect tempo to work with. Their combined motions were sending the devil girl into a deliriously orgasmic state. Her eyes rolled back in her head and she let herself slump down, supported by the strong hands and cocks of her futanari lovers.
The ride continued that way, uninterrupted, for the next thirty minutes. The old friends talked about their jobs, their families and the state of Umnara. The casual conversation was interspersed with moans and grunts as the continued to plow into their shared toy. Nai did not intend to blow her load in the girl's mouth but Zaophi was right on the edge and wanted to finish. She activated a few more of her mods and got ready to burst. First her dick expanded to be much longer, then her tip expanded further to be a bulbous bludgeon against the girl's cervix. Her vibrations kicked up a step, going from a nice buzz to a full power pulsation. The futa rammed her tip home and fired a nice little load of fresh spunk right into the teen's womb. The last surprise from Zaophi was that her cum was a potent pleasure inducing drug. The girl would be riding a mind-altering high of sexual satisfaction for at least the next half-hour.
"Fuck, that's a nice stress reliever. Gotta love teen cumdumps. But I gotta run. Catch up again soon?" Zaophi pulled out of the pussy she'd just fucked, her now much longer cock slipping out with squelching noises. It started to contract back to its smaller form as Zaophi covered herself and ruffled her dress back into place.
"Of course. I'll look after our new friend." Naibuna slid her own cock from the devil girl and smiled down at her glazed over eyes. Of course, the effects of Zaophi's cum were clearly marked on her system information. Everyone always checked their partner's mods for this kind of thing. It wasn't like the girl was totally in the dark about being turned into a little puddle of constant orgasmic bliss.
Nai laid back on the spacious seat of the train and pulled the girl up against her. The two cuddled sweetly as the girl shivered through continuous orgasms. Just to be curious, Nai checked her system info again. Hardly any data at all. An anonymous user ID and some simple mods. Her only personal note was that she preferred to not speak too much. Some people just liked to wander Umnara and experience all sorts of different sexual encounters with as much free-reign as possible. Naibuna guessed this girl was one of those kind. How she'd decided upon this course and how long she'd been an anonymous public slut were complete mysteries. She looked to be just into her teens, adorable and sexy in ways that young girls were special for. It was perfectly possible for her to live the rest of her life drifting around the world and seeking nothing but sexual pleasures day after day.
Nai kissed her forehead and nimbly untangled herself from their shared embrace. Her stop was coming up and she didn't want to miss it. The girl was just coming down from her high, eyes focusing on her older lover. The sweet devil smiled and languidly waved at Nai as she departed the train. Nai gave the same gentle farewell back as she stepped out of the doors.
The time difference on this continent was abundantly clear as Naibuna stepped out of the station. It was fairly late into the evening but the city was still active and rumbling. This part of Umnara was far more urbanized with sprawling metropolitan high rises and bright lights. People filled the streets, dressed in a wide variety of attire and sporting all kinds flashy mods. The nightlife in the city was fairly upbeat, with lots of interesting things to do and see. Not the least of which was the thriving brothel and prostitution scene.
"Damn you're ripped, sweetheart. Packing some heat too." Nai was swiftly accosted by a pair of short haired blonde bunny boys. Both had long ears poking upward and twitching with animated energy. They were wearing matching lingerie sets, tiny mint green lacy panties and bralettes that barely covered their smooth bodies. Matching garter belts led down to thigh straps on their legs before the skin melded into the fur of their bunny paws. The duo energetically pushed up against either side of the futa.
"You looking for some company? We're the best at taking care of big, strong futas." One of the boys asked while sliding a hand out to grab at Nai's crotch bulge.
Naibuna had forgotten that she had set her public preference for solicitation as 'yes please' the last time she was in town. A quick switch to 'no' was necessary but regrettable. She wistfully smirked and firmly grabbed the asses of the two boys. Their network information labeled them as members of the Lascivious whorehouse, sixteen and seventeen years old respectively. "Boys, I would absolutely love to but I have some other plans."
The call-boys mewled sadly with big, doe eyes and pawed at Nai's body. They were strategically adept at making the hung futa almost throw away her plan to see her family. In the end Nai shook off the bunny boys with a promise to come back some other time. Prostitutes were among the hardest working people, always on the grind for kiinc.
Monetary currency had become little but a fanciful extravagance in the modern post-scarcity society. Kiinc was a digital currency that was exclusively used for frivolous sexual goods and services. The basic needs of every human on Umnara was met by other means. No one could pay for food or shelter even if they wanted to. The entire socioeconomic structure of the planet revolved around providing for everyone in sustainable ways. The only things left to desire for were artisanal sex toys, highly trained prostitutes, good quality aphrodisiacs, other mind altering substances and -of course- art.
Nai peacefully strolled along, now totally ignored by most of the streetwalkers peddling their services. Under different circumstances she'd love to hire two or three of them and really let loose, but that would take far too long. Nai knew her sister would chastise her for coming all this way only to get distracted by whores and not spend time visiting.
The familiar building came into view just down the street. It was an older one, not quite in the newest fashion but impressive none the less. Every floor of the enormous skyscraper was a penthouse, many with private pools jutting off the sides of the building. It sparkled and gleamed like a beacon of untold power. Shiny metal covering the exterior of the tower that gently curved and rippled to an unimaginable height. This style of almost liquid metal architecture had gone out of fashion last century. It was due for a remodel eventually but too many of the residents still enjoyed it for the time being.
The front door and elevator both recognized Nai as a guest and allowed her in. It was a quick ride up to the forty fifth floor. The doors rotated open to reveal a chaotic living room. Toys and clothing were strewn about on couches, tables, bdsm equipment, even a large house plant. The general aesthetic of the penthouse underneath the chaos was one of a simple family home. Lots of soft, neutral colors and round features. A large kitchen was right around the corner and that was where Nai found Ricca.
"Oh, what a surprise! The punk rock rebel returns! How're ya doing love?" Ricca swiveled her head and shot a welcoming smile at her sister. A crimson red bob cut twirled with the motion. The tall matriarch wore only an apron as she sauteed something over a burner. Nai took a moment to drink in all of her wonderful curves. A slender neck led down to round shoulders that ballooned out into a set of large, perfectly round tits. Her apron was designed to tuck under them and still be tight to her flat stomach and wide hips. Long legs supported a tight, bouncy ass that was clearly on display as Ricca stood at the stove. Her only visible mod was a set of pink crystals embedded in a row down her spine, each of which glowed faintly.
"I'm right as rain. Nothing special. Just wanted to stop by and see how everyone's gettin' on. Where are the kids?"
"Well, the tiny ones were just put down for a nap. Some of the tots are playing a new game in the far bedroom. Rest of them are with Nx in the pool. Urolo is at a friend's house and Revu is in her room." Ricca's crystals glowed brighter as she connected throughout the house and effortlessly kept track of all of her children's whereabouts. "And two new little seedlings growing in the pods."
"Wow, a full house. How do you even find the time to go out and get knocked up anymore?" Nai poked fun at her sister's lifestyle.
"A lady has her secrets! Though you're welcome to put another one in me if you're so inclined. What's the point in being married if we don't procreate regularly?" Ricca teased back. The relationship between the sisters was a fairly unique one. They had grown up completely separately, born about thirty years apart on different worlds. Their father had spent a lot of time on intergalactic travel and was still making babies across the known universe to this day.
Both women had immigrated to Umnara at different times and fallen in love after meeting in a breeding center. They were instantly aware that they were sisters, the genealogical records were very robust even across galaxies. But to the two women that fact hardly mattered. If anything, it made for an incredible story. That they had coincidentally met at all was a marvel, much less gotten married and had several children together.
Marriage was hardly a social monolith of monogamy. Ricca was married to three people but also had strong bonds with two others. Nai was only officially married to Ricca but would always invite any of the mothers of her children to live with her. Slevne was the most recent to take up the offer, living in Nai's house to help raise the twins in every possible way. Naibuna often felt closely attached to these women but so far none of those relationships had developed into marriage. Kolful was a special case, being a fully submissive catgirl under Naibuna's household. There were lots of different kinds of relationships that weren't quite traditional marriage.
"It has been a while, hasn't it? I think I'm just about due to knock you up again. How about right now?" Naibuna slid behind her wife and firmly slid her hands around the redhead's waist.
"Not while I'm cooking you brute!" Ricca playfully pushed back against Nai. Her round ass pressed back into her wife's crotch, giving a solid nudge but also some lovely pressure. The futa's cock throbbed from the contact but she relented.
"Always cook'in something." Nai aimed a friendly slap at Ricca's ass, jiggling the firm cheek wonderfully, as she slipped past the woman. It was long running jest between the two that Ricca was almost always busy with something. She purposefully led a life of constant tasks and forward motion. The redheaded matriarch had an insatiable love of all culinary arts, always preparing new dishes from across the universe. Her ingredients were all synthesized but every process was done entirely by hand. All that food was perfectly situated to feed Ricca's dozen or so children who were always around the house. Being a prolific breeder was also one of the woman's favored activities. Nai was often impressed with her wife's skills to manage so many things at once, even with the neural processing mods.
Following a familiar path through the penthouse, Nai came to a simple door with beautiful full-color flower engravings across it's entire breadth. Nai gave a simple knock and waited. She could have easily sent a poke through the local system but wanted to make the reveal more exciting.
"Mom! Hi!" Revu broke into a bright smile when she saw Naibuna at her door. The young futa was a good bit shorter than her mother but the two shared a lot of other characteristics. Revu had inherited Nai's deep bronze skin-tone and sculpted physique. She had not, however, inherited her sense of fashion. The teen was wearing a long green plaid skirt and a nice white blouse. Her long black hair was styled into a braid that hung over her shoulder.
"Hi there pumpkin. How're you doing?" Nai pulled her daughter in for a hug. The two caught up quickly and sat on Revu's bed. Her room was a mixture of floral and nature themed decor with simple wooden furniture. Revu caught Naibuna up to speed on her life in the past two weeks since the girl had last been over to Nai's residence. Mainly mediocre social drama and whatever her siblings had gotten up to. Revu was Nai and Ricca's youngest child, born sixteen years ago. She was a star student, particularly in environmental sciences and terraforming. Probably on track to helping mold new worlds as the settled region of the Primala galaxy continued to expand.
"I've been having some trouble filling up my net profile. Everyone says mine is so bland so I've tried to make more stuff." Revu made an offhand comment.
"Well, let me see what you've got." Nai quickly sifted through the pictures and videos Revu sent her. Most of them were very generic and simple. Almost no thought put into composition, framing, style or aftereffects. And a lot of them were just anilingus shots. Czist anterior, that's a lot of anilingus. "I can see a few areas of improvement."
Together, the two futas went through the collection and found what worked and what didn't. Nai gave her daughter pointers on how to take more vibrant and eye-catching shots. As well as what kinds of captions would give quick and concise descriptions while being playfully erotic. They had some fun going back and forth with increasingly absurd ideas, making a silly mess of the profile before settling on a few good shots.
"Alright, I think we've salvaged what we can from this. Let's test out some new shots." The whole house, much like Nai's own, was set up with a camera system. Lots of public places also had their own systems, many people enjoyed recording themselves. It wasn't all too uncommon for a good sexual encounter to get archived and proudly displayed on the global network. Nai was extremely proficient at maneuvering the tiny cameras and gently guided Revu into the mental controls.
"Is this a good angle?" Revu questioned.
"Looks great love." Nai was spooning her daughter from behind, the two cuddled up closely. She also had her cock rubbing against the girl's slick quim and erect penis. With the green skirt hiked up to her waist and white panties pulled to the side, Revu was more focused on getting a good camera angle of the action than the imminent pounding she was about to receive.
"Oh, fuuuuck~. You're tight as ever sweetie." Nai moaned as she pressed her tip into Revu. Her whole length quickly followed with a hard thrust, the younger futa was split open by her mother's thick shaft. A quiet whimper left Revu's mouth but she remained focused through the pleasure. She'd taken her mother's cock countless times but it was still a very nice treat.
The two futas fucked with a steady but engaged pace. It was a bit different playing things up for the camera, but Naibuna was quick to guide them into good positions. They kept stripping off clothing as they went, making it easier to reposition and show off good angles. Nai knew her daughter wanted to have a certain style to her photos, nothing too crazy or hardcore. So their fornication was more of the artful variety with lots of curving their bodies into elegant forms that interlocked in a wonderful moving symphony.
The pair tried lots of different positions to get a good variety. Nai plunged into her daughters asshole prone bone, making the smaller girl quiver with every thrust. Revu rode her mother with rhythmic swaying motions, her own cock jiggling cutely in front of her. The duo sucked each other off in a sixty-nine for quite a while. Nai gave in to her daughters proclivities and let the girl eat her ass with unmatched enthusiasm. They even got out a large silicone tube that they could double fuck together. Finally, Revu reached her limit and spewed a load of spunk into her mother's pussy while they were in doggy-style.
"Mmmm, come here. Let's cuddle a bit and look over what we've got." Naibuna rolled onto the bed and invited a deliriously happy Revu to join her.
They looked over all of the content they'd just created and tried all sorts of different filters and effects to enhances the look of Revu's profile. Nai's favorite shot was of her daughter mid-orgasm, throwing her head back and gasping for breath. She edited the pose over a flower field background and quickly applied a few touch-ups to it. Something nice and sweet as a header.
"You know you're gonna need more content than just the two of us in your room love." Nai rubbed Revu's head as the two cuddled.
"Yeah. I'll try and take some better videos while I'm out. People at the library are always super friendly." The younger futa gingerly rubbed up and down her mother's still rock solid shaft. Their naked bodies were still pressed together in post-coital comfort.
"Good girl. I'd love to stay longer but I do want to check in with everyone before I have to head back." Nai extracted herself from the bed and grabbed her clothes from the floor. The leather jacket went on but she declined to don the shorts again. Instead commanding the material to fold up into a small square of fabric that was slipped into a pocket of the jacket. She picked up her boots and headed for the door.
Revu manually folded her own clothing before laying them on her bed. "I'm going to go take a bath. Stop by if you'd like to join."
The two futas kissed once more in the hallway and then headed in opposite directions. Nai knew exactly where she was going with her dick standing straight up and ready for more chaotic action. Sounds of rambunctious child laughter could be heard just a few doors down. She followed the signal until she came to one of the fairly large bedrooms.
Opening the door revealed a paradise of tiny bodies engaged in carnal debauchery. Ricca usually had anywhere from ten to fifteen kids around her house at any time. Some much older like Revu but most were in the toddler to preteen range. They were mostly Ricca's children directly, others were visiting descendants or offspring from the other spouses in the household. It was always a delight to play with the horde of kids.
"Auntie Naibuna!" Several young kids squealed and ran up to swarm her. They were all mostly naked, just a few collars and thigh highs among them. Their bodies were all in the form of tiny little fucktoys, perfect for the type of fun Nai was looking for. Their mods ranged from barely noticeable to exceedingly exotic. One boy named Inothis had scales on his arms and legs which reminded Nai of her own time with those mods.
Hello there everyone! Lovely to see y'all. Oh, quick to the punch huh? Naibuna sent over a mental link to every one of the kids simultaneously. Several of them had already gotten their tiny hands around her cock and started to suck on it. Their adorable little mouths struggled to wrap around the engorged beast. The youngest of them definitely lacked skill, but the collective effort was still pleasant.
Okay, I've got a good idea for us. Nai quickly explained her plan to the kids through the mental link. Almost all of them wanted to play so Nai was soon naked again and on her back in the big bed, a pile of kids rubbing all over her body. She had a pussy in her face, several bodies rubbing nicely against her sides and legs, at least three fingers in her pussy, and a divinely tight asshole pressing against her cock head. The little one finally popped the futa cock into their sphincter and started riding. Nothing at all like an experienced slut, more of a frantic humping that was so common for young children to naturally exhibit.
Nai had no idea which of the gaggle of tots was doing what particular action to her at any moment. She just closed her eyes and went along with everything. The overwhelming number of sensations flowing through her mind was a spiritual affair. Three hands grabbed at her chest, mashing the firm breasts in totally different ways. One tugged at her nipple hard. The girl riding her face tasted sugary sweet and was moaning with a very cute voice. Little cocks and wet pussies ground themselves into her thighs and sides. One of her hands was tugged on until her finger slipped into a tight hole. The little one riding her cock clenched around it, eliciting a growl from Naibuna. Eventually, the kids traded places. A little cock was pressed to Nai's lips which she happily sucked on. A slick cunny took her shaft all the way to the base, bouncing with a bit more gusto than her previous rider. The fingers in her pussy were replaced by a tentacle. Nai felt a hot splatter of cum across her chest which was eagerly lapped up by some other little fuckers. The group shifted continuously, never letting anything go on too long. Hands, mouths, pussies, cocks, assholes (and the occasional non-standard body mod) were wrapped up in a big heap of endless pleasure.
Totally undone by the sheer force of the sexual congress, Naibuna only had a moment's notice when her orgasm approached. FUUUCK, I'm gonna cum! Everybody line up!
The rowdy kids all sprang up and hastily pushed and shoved to get a good position around their futa play partner. Nai wobbled to her feet and held off her orgasm as long as she could. Suddenly it rushed out of her, gallons of syrupy thick hot cum. She aimed for the first child on her left, covering his face with a single shot. Each new spurt was aimed at a different face or mouth. Her balls twitched hard with every rope they pumped up and out of her cock. Nai groaned as she kept stroking her shaft and shifting in a circle. The volume of cum was more than enough for everyone to get a facial and then some.
Collapsing back on the bed, Nai passively watched the rest of the show. The kids all played with their pearly white treat. Some scooping it into their mouths, others using it as lube to stroke their cocks or stuff into their holes. Two boys kissed passionately to swap the cum back and forth in their mouths. A small girl was running around licking up all of the dribbles that slid down her sibling's chests. Surprisingly little of it got on the bed, Nai had perfected her aim long ago. Not that it would have mattered as the material was super absorbent and would be cleaned before bedtime anyway.
Thank you all so much. That was lots of fun. I'll tell Ricca you've all been very, very good. Nai was happy to have the mental link as her body was exhausted. She struggled through heavy breaths as her cock finally began to shrink. The combined sexual fluids of everyone in the room coated her muscular body. She was utterly a mess but unbelievably satisfied. Nai made a quick copy of the footage from the cameras in the room and pried herself up off of the bed.
After a refreshing shower (sadly without Revu), Nai made her way through the apartment. She was finally redressed in all of her clothing, covering just as much as she preferred to. In her search for Ricca, Nai came upon the incubation room. Housed within were two artificial wombs, modeled after Ricca's own. They appeared as massive tree trunks, glowing gently from within to illuminate the otherwise dark room. With a certain reverence, Nai walked up to each tree and placed a hand on the bulging center. New life, held separate but still dear. This was how Ricca had so many children around the same age. Though pregnancy only lasted a few months, the breeding fiend always wanted more and would entrust these machines to nurture fertilized eggs just the same as her own body would. Among the three wombs there was always new life growing. Nai felt a sense of awe in the presence of the two great trees.
Unable to find her sister-wife in the massive penthouse, Nai left a note in the kitchen for her and made her exit from the house. It would have been trivial to ping the system for Ricca's location or even just call her through the mental link, but Nai often found that the physical methods were more grounding and worthwhile. If everything was instantaneous, there wouldn't be any time to appreciate the journey.
Riding the elevator up the building, Naibuna prepared for work. She had a ritual of always going to the rooftop of this building whenever she visited. Something about the view was inspiring but she had never been able to capture it perfectly. The night sky was always tantalizingly out of reach, just beyond her ability to recreate it. And the city always had something new to add to the picture.
Nai walked out onto the top roof and felt the cold air rush around her body. Even with such little protection her body was still warm. The rooftop was just as massive as the building beneath it, stretching out into a miniature cityscape all its own. There were several gardens in various places; divided by rows of star gazing equipment, hand gliders, outdoor lounges and exercise gear. It was normally deserted when Nai came up at night, giving the whole area a melancholic atmosphere.
Settling into one of the seats at the bar on a raised central section, Nai brought up her tools. The system was integrated directly into her eyes, able to project a lifelike canvas into thin air. Her implement was nothing but her own finger, capable of mimicking any artistic tool she could ever imagine. Nai gazed out at the city and the dark sky before setting herself to get it right this time.
She worked with practiced diligence, expressing centuries of skill in a few strokes before erasing them to try again. The colors blended perfectly, a faithful rendition of oil paints that seemed so lifelike it was almost unnatural. The painting was dominated by dark colors and soft edges, splashed with the vibrant yellows and whites of city lights. There was a dull bronze building just across the street that Nai gave close attention to, it's unique shape taking up the foreground. The vast night sky was not uniformly black, as some bright stars did poke their way through to illuminate it in a beautiful cascade of hues.
Given this was Naibuna's twenty third attempt at painting the scene, some of the work went quickly. She knew the shape of the buildings, where the light was brightest and where the shadows were deepest. But her efforts always left out something from the moment. Capturing what she felt as a human being in this specific moment in time was a task all its own. There was something special there, if only she could find the way to pull it out of the world and put it into her work.
A gentle nudge brought Nai's attention to the time. She had been working for about an hour and had produced something exquisite. The painting was nowhere near finished but it had potential. The right combination of color, style, atmosphere and emotion. It was just the same as some of her previous attempts but this one felt better, like the moment crystallized into digital oils. Finishing it would have to wait however. The kids would be out of school soon and Nai had to get back to pick them up.
Dismissing her canvas and standing to stretch, Nai gazed again out to the city. Eventually she would get it right. There was hardly a rush. Art was her profession but only in so much as any activity could be considered 'work' on Umnara. She made a bit of kiinc selling her art to galleries and did some commissions on occasion. She'd garnered a small following on the global network, people who appreciated older mediums and wanted to see them have a resurgence. Making art that connected with other people was her passion and it just happened to produce a decent amount of pocket money.
The nudge in her mind came again. She would have to leave quickly to make it back to the school on time. The twins were probably going to be excited to tell her about their day. Nai quietly left the rooftop, a gentle smile on her face.
