I glanced at Ferna as she sneezed, the two of us fully undressed, before I averted my gaze.
I know I've seen her naked before, but this isn't that kind of situation, so I probably shouldn't stare, as much as I want to.
Plus, not exactly the best place to get turned on.
"Alright, I'll get us some dry clothes and-...," I began, sitting down as I got ready to open Treasury, before trailing off in bemusement as Ferna took a seat on my lap, resting her back against my chest as I inquired, "Uh...whatcha doing there?"
"W-Well, um...aren't you supposed to huddle for warmth in situations like this?" She responded quietly, giving me a bashful glance back.
I stiffened slightly, in more ways than one, as my blood rushed down.
I wrapped my arms around her waist and lightly bit her neck, before cupping one of her breasts as I slipped my other hand between her legs.
"Alright, I'll play along...but we're gonna have to be quick, don't wanna keep the others waiting too long. And to that end, no Aphrodisia or Arouse either."
"That's fine...I don't know what it is, but something about this situation, I...I just got really turned on while we were undressing," She admitted, shifting her hips and pressing her ass against my crotch.
"I was actively trying not to get turned on and kinda failing, so I get it...okay, let's do this, nice and quick."
...
...
"O-Okay, it's a good thing you can climb and carry me at the same time, because my legs are all shaky. I'd definitely fall if I tried to climb by myself.
That was great, too bad we couldn't go a second round," She sighed wistfully, as I bit out a chunk of the wall with Devour and dug my fingers into the uneven divet, before repeating the process, steadily climbing up.
"That one round already took fifteen minutes, so we just didn't have enough time for another. But we can pick up where we left off after the raid," I suggested with a slight smirk.
"Definitely, I'd be disappointed if we didn't. On another note, even without the use of your Aphrodisia and Arouse Skills, that felt amazing."
"Heh, thanks, that's a nice boost to my ego."
"Also, your clothes are a bit too big for me. Which is fine with my upper half, but it feels like these trousers will definitely fall off if I don't hold on to them," She informed me sheepishly.
I'd given her a copy of my zipless hoodie and a pair of trousers, and I'd stored her gear, except for her boots, in Treasury.
"Well, you are pretty slender, so that makes sense. I have a couple of belts, but I doubt they'd fit you. Maybe we can tie something like a strip of frantic around your waist to hold it in place, like a makeshift belt," I suggested thoughtfully.
"Yeah, that could work, good thinking."
"Sure, no prob. Oh, there it is, the opening. We're almost there, keep holding on to me, just a bit longer," I remarked, as I continued to steadily climb up the wall.
As I reached the top, I grabbed the edge and pulled myself up, stepping back out onto the surface and slowly moving away from the opening, steadily and carefully, to make sure the area around it wouldn't collapse.
I then set Ferna down, her hands clutching the waistband of the trousers I'd lent her, letting out a sigh of relief before she moved further away from the opening.
"Sorry for the wait, guys, it took longer to climb up than I thought it w-...uh, what's wrong?" I asked them in bemusement, as Will and Lector stared at us awkwardly, while Elicia looked on in exasperation.
"Really? In a Dungeon, of all places?" Huffed Elicia indignantly.
Huh? No, don't tell me...
"Huh? What do you mean?" Responded Ferna uncertainly.
"Let me start by saying...Kai, you didn't need to yell as loud as you did, we could hear you pretty clearly, it was super echo-y. Which is also why we heard what happened next...," Elicia trailed off.
Wait...w-wait, wait, wait...
"You two were, uh...really going at it, weren't you?" Added Will wryly.
Oh...ohh, shit.
"H-Hold on, you mean...?" Stuttered Ferna, her eyes widening in realization.
Yeah...looks like they heard everything. Well, this isn't mortifying.
"Yup. We sat down to take a break while waiting for you guys, and then a couple minutes later...moans, a whole lot of moans echoing out of the hole in the ground, getting louder and louder. Well, not so much from Kai, that was all you," Sighed Elicia, as she glanced at Ferna, who had a horrified look on her face.
"Well, guess there's no point in denying it, don't think there's any excuse that I could come up with that'd sound convincing. I will say, though, in our defense...we fell into a stream and had to change out of our wet clothes, and...you know, one thing led to another, so to speak," I replied sheepishly, averting my gaze.
"F-Fuck, this is so humiliating...," Groaned Ferna, burying her face in her hands in embarrassment.
"Ahem, anyway, uh...why don't we all just pretend that nothing happened and keep going?" Suggested Lector awkwardly.
That's, uh...that's going to be a lot easier said than done.
"I don't think I can, but...yes, please," Muttered Ferna, her shoulders slumping slightly.
"Yeah, no, I'm not going to let you guys live this down, not anytime soon," Declared Elicia with a huff.
"That's fair. But let's at least set it aside for the rest of this raid, we've still got a lot of ground to cover, after all," I pointed out.
"Fine, I'll drop it...for now," Responded Elicia dryly.
She's pretty salty, huh? I wonder, is she just annoyed that she was left out? Though, even if that is the case, I highly doubt she'd ever admit to it...
