This Soul Of Mine

Main Incubus Otto x Reader (Incubus Axel and Oscar x Reader in later parts!) 18+ (also in later parts) (Mentions of Rape but only passing, as Incubus are Male Demons who feed off sex, most of them are NOT kind Swedes.)

PART 2 HERE

Part 1

Sitting alone, he listened to the other Incubi speak among themselves, sighing at their disgusting talk, and finally heaved himself off of the barstool.

He didn’t know what he was doing here, his brothers always told him it was stupid, and they were right. With their... abnormal and unusual taste in ‘victims’, they would be dead within the next 30 years, starved and unable to satisfy themselves like the rest of their race did.

He envied his brothers abit as well, he thought as he started the long walk home, the moon shining above him. Yes, he truly envied them.

Mortals practically threw themselves at his brothers feet anywhere they went, complimenting them and trying to obtain any sense of gratification from his brothers gazes.

Of course, HE was able to attract many possible ‘victims’ as well, but not at the rate that his brothers did. Be it as it may, envious or not, they never did satisfy him, nor did any of the mortals satisfy his brothers.

For years and years, they had survived by feeding off of their ‘victims’ sexual desires, mimicking whatever acts they had learned from their parents, but they each felt nothing, absolute and cruel emptiness.

Never had his hideous and dark heart beat faster, never did he find pleasure in the acts, in the fucking, in touching their skin like a mortal lover would. Never did it happen to have a mortal touch him, and to feel the pressing, dark deprivation to touch them with equal fervor, to seek his release alone and continue, leaving his seed leaking out of them. Feeding off the mortals souls in those moments helped his brothers and he survive another month, but each time, they felt less and less satisfied.

Incubi and Succubi loved to rape, to take unwillingly, to attack their victims in their sleep or lure them away, and then attack, sucking their soul and life out of them until nothing remained.

But for he and his brothers, they could not. They were legendary among their kind, for being the only Incubi who searched for more in their Victims, needed more.

They were known for not being able to feed off the empty sexual gratification that came from mortals, feeling nothing, the emptiness in their chests growing stronger with each victim.

They could not rape, could not find pleasure in mortals pain and fear as they preyed on them in their beds at night, waking to the horrors that most Incubi would subject their victims to-

“Oof!” A voice rang out infront of him, something- someone colliding with his wide chest, hands reaching out to grab her-

In that moment, as Otto laid his eyes upon you, hands holding you up by your shoulders, he felt it; the steady and frightening beat of his heart roaring to life, watching in stupefied silence as you smiled softly, thanking him and apologizing for practically running into him.

For the first time in all of his thousands of years alive, Otto finally felt it, an intense need to touch you, to seek each spot on your body that made you yell out in pleasure, a need so blinding he barely registered what you were saying, trying to calm his thundering heartbeat.

“Oh- I'm so sorry, that was so rude of me! Here-“ You said, smiling up at the handsome man. He mustn’t have seen you, the surprise in his eyes comical and adorable for such a tall man.

“-atleast take this as an apology, please!” You insisted, reaching into your bag, pushing one of your boxes of handmade cookies into his hands.

Otto felt like he was drowning, fighting so hard to keep his head above water, trying to listen to what you were saying but couldn’t, his Incubi senses going off like fireworks as they never had before. His eyes took in everything about you until he noticed your blush, the sharp scent of embarrassment, attraction and humiliation rolling off of you-

You nodded, finally, seeing as the man was too dazed to say anything, only watching you with awestrucked eyes.

God, you must look absolutely horrible for this handsome stranger to be so tongue tied. Of course, you had just baked the equivalent of 400 cookies, but you had hoped you looked atleast a bit decent, right?

“Well, kind stranger, thank you again! If ever you want to say hello, you know where to find me!” You smiled once more, telling yourself it was time to run home, taking your leave and continuing down the street.

Find you? How would he-

Oh. Otto looked down at the box, feeling a shiver of wrongness as he read over the stamp, knowing now why you were hauling a bag full of homemade cookies.

On the box, it read:

Bake Off Sale, Church of Royal Hills, Y/N L/N

“You WHAT?!” Axel and Oscar exclaimed, watching their brother fidget on their sofa like a mortal, his Incubus tail wrapped around his leg like it always did when Otto felt shy or embarrassed.

Nothing could have ever prepared them for any of this, neither able to hide their surprise.

“I think I met my soulmate.” Otto repeated, this time in a quieter tone, trying to curl into a ball at his brothers stupefied gazes.

“ARE YOU INSANE?!” Axel roared, throwing his hands up dramatically, rageful dark anger seeping into the air, making Oscar recoil abit. Axel had never hear of a more preposterous thing. Soulmate? They didn’t even have souls, for crying out loud!

“Otto, we are INCUBI, we aren’t mortals-“ Oscar started, cut off as Axel turned towards them again, huffing loudly. He pointed at Oscar menacingly, as if to warn their youngest brother to pick his next words carefully, and to not give their mopping sibling any hope.

“As I was SAYING, we aren’t mortal, Otto, we don’t have soulmates like they do. We aren’t meant to be life partners to them, we are demons.” Oscar finished, watching and sensing his brother’s utter despair. He could see that Axel felt it too, trying to calm himself as Otto simply sat there, emotions running amok, unable to stop them from trickling out like pheromones into the air.

“Stop that Otto.” Axel muttered, feeling weary at their middle brothers inner turmoil. Their brother was usually very careful, never letting his feelings and thoughts project outward but in this moment, they felt exactly what he felt, and it felt as if they were being held under frozen water.

It was obvious, cruelly dawning on Oscar and Axel like a freight train;

Otto hadn’t invented any of this, nor was he lying. Fear, pain, doubt and heartbreaking hope filled the air around him, signalling that something truly had happened to make him doubt everything they knew about themselves. Axel realized how it was almost just as cruel to deny their brother this fleeting hope.

Demon Dads: James

I got back into Seduce Me due to being stuck in quarantine so I decided to write some fluffy pieces invoking the demons becoming fathers. ao3 link

________________________________________________________________

The love of James’ life was up to something. She had prepared dinner for him and his brothers but that wasn’t what was making him suspicious. She seemed to be bursting to tell them all something but she refused to say anything. But she was waiting for the right moment. She had gathered all the incubi in the lavish dining room of the mansion she shared with James.

“Man, I’ve missed your cooking,” Matthew managed to say. “James is so lucky!”

“Matthew, please,” Erik said, an irritated look on his face. “You’re an adult, have some manners. You have food all over your mouth.”

“I’m glad you guys are all enjoying yourself,” Y/N smiled. “Now, James? I have a present for you.”

James watched as Y/N pulled out a small white box and handed it to him. It wasn’t their anniversary nor was it his birthday so he was confused. His brothers watched him as he opened the box and found puzzle pieces.

“A puzzle? What are you, five?” Sam said.

“Sam, come on,” Damien gave his brother an annoyed look.

“It’s a special puzzle,” Y/N said. “Solve it.”

Not wanting to upset his wife, James started to take the pieces out. The puzzle wasn’t complex and as he put it together, he saw words.

“We’re going,” He read. “To have a baby.”

Once he said the words, everyone stopped eating and all eyes went to Y/N. She wore the biggest grin he had ever seen. She reached into her pocket and pulled out an ultrasound picture. The silence was broken by Matthew.

“James is going to be dad?” Matthew’s voice was filled with excitement. “Wait, that means we’re all going to be uncles!”

“Princess, that’s wonderful news!” Erik clapped.

“No way,” Sam seemed shocked. “An actual baby?”

“When did you find out?” Damien asked.

“Today,” Y/N said. “I wanted to tell you all so that is why I invited you to dinner. I wanted to tell James but I wanted you boys to be here too. You’re so important to both of us, I had to share the news with you too.”

James stood up and rushed over to his wife. He embraced her, tears escaping as joy overwhelmed him. He never thought he could be this happy. When he came to the human world, he never thought he’d meet someone as wonderful as Y/N. The day she accepted his love was the happiest day of his life. When she had agreed to be his wife, he thought he’d burst with joy. Now, they were starting a family.

“Oh love,” He squeezed her. “I’m so happy. I can’t believe it.”

“Aw sweetie,” Y/N smiled. “Are you crying?”

“I can't believe it,” James returned her smile. “I never thought I’d be a father.”

“So when is the baby coming? Is it going to be here tomorrow?” Matthew asked.

“No dummy, you have to boil something and I think then Y/N lays an egg?” Sam said.

“Oh dear,” Erik sighed. “I have a feeling we might need to explain a few things before the baby actually gets here.”

________________________________________________________________

Word of the new baby spread like wildfire. After telling her parents, James and Y/N did a special announcement for the company. James wanted everyone to know that he would continue to be the CEO but he’d also be focused on making sure he was a good parent. Everyone was beyond excited of course and were more than willing to help with baby preparations. James was thankful for everyone’s help but mostly he was thankful for his brothers.

They decided to stay at the house until the baby arrived. Matthew helped with preparing meals since Y/N had trouble cooking while Erik became Y/N’s, right-hand man. If she needed something, he got it for her. Damian took it upon himself to help Y/N with reading parenting books and her exercise. James was surprised when Sam volunteered to help build the nursery. His face was beat red when Y/N hugged him after he revealed the plans.

Things were going smoothly.

“So is it going to be a boy or a girl?” Matthew asked.

The five brothers were all sitting in the living room. Matthew and Sam had been playing a video game while Erik sat on the couch, looking at a fashion magazine. Daimen was next to him reading a book and James sat in a chair, looking over some papers for work. Y/N was resting in the bedroom, obviously exhausted.

“We want it to be a surprise,” James replied. “I could care less about gender. I’m going to love that child no matter what.”

“Listen to you, have you always been this sappy?” Sam asked, making a face as he continued to play against Matthew.

“This coming from the man who helped Y/N pick out toys for the nursery,” Erik said.

Matthew laughed as Sam’s face turned redder than a tomato. James chuckled but his eyes landed on Damian. He was no longer reading and  he had a confused look on his face but it slowly morphed into shock.

“The baby---it’s coming.” He said.

“What? The baby isn’t due until---”

James was cut off by a loud thump from upstairs and then a yell.

“JAMES!”

Like lighting, the brothers went to work.

Sam ran outside to the car while Matthew grabbed the baby bag.

Erik and James rushed upstairs to the bedroom. Y/N was holding her stomach, water beneath her. The baby was a week early and Y/N looked like she was in pain. The two brothers helped Y/N down the stairs to Damien who held the door open. The car was waiting for them. Once inside, Sam started off towards the hospital.

They were lucky that there was little traffic so they arrived at the hospital with no problem. When they arrived, Y/N was rushed to a delivery room. The others waited while James joined her. Beads of sweat rolled down his wife’s face as she started going into labor. The entire thing was wild, scary, and beautiful. Y/N squeezed his hand as she screamed and grunted, trying to get the baby out. James offered encouragement, never letting go of her hand.

“I see the head, keep pushing!”

Y/N squeezed James hand so hard he thought she’d break his fingers. Then, he heard the cries.

“We got a brand new baby boy,” The doctor said. “Let’s cut that cord and clean him up.”

The baby continued to scream but James didn’t care. A baby boy; he was a father. Once the baby was wrapped in a blanket, Y/N finally got to hold him. She looked exhausted and sweaty but when she smiled down at their son, James thought she looked beautiful. He kissed her forehead, looking down at the baby.

“We did it,” She said. “He’s here.”

“He’s perfect,” James said. “Dearest, he’s absolutely perfect.”

Once things settled, the brothers were able to meet their nephew. Matthew was adamant that he get to hold the baby first which Y/N allowed.

“Hey little guy, I’m Matthew! I’m your uncle,” He said. “Oh man, we’re going to be the best of friends. Just wait until you get older! We’ll build castles, make forts, play knights---”

“You know he can’t understand you right?” Sam asked.

“It’s still good to talk to babies,” Y/N said. “When Atticus gets older, he’ll start imitating speech so he can learn how to talk.”

“Atticus? Of course, you two chose a fancy name for him,” Sam said. “Also why is he so tiny?”

“Sam, he was just born today,” Erik had joined Matthew and was looking at the baby. “Human babies normally look like this. But soon, he’ll grow up and be adorable just like Uncle Erik.”

“How are you feeling?” Damien asked Y/N.

“A bit tired,” Y/N admitted. “Mostly, I want something to eat. Something fattening and unhealthy. I don’t have to be on my stupid diet anymore.”

“What are you in the mood for? I’ll go get it for you,” Sam said.

“A big burger from Wendy’s with a large fries and a coke please,” Y/N answered. “You’re the best Sam.”

“Hurry back so you can hold Atticus!” Matthew turned to Damien. “Your turn.”

Before Damien could say anything, Atticus was forced into his hands. James chuckled as his brother stared down at the small child.

“I---he’s---” Damien gulped. “Am I doing it right?”

“Damiean, don’t be so nervous,” James said. “You won’t hurt him. Besides, he’s your nephew. He’s not going to reject you.”

“I’ve just never held a baby before,” Damien said. “He really is small. I didn’t realize just how tiny humans are when they’re born. Look at his tiny hands.”

“He’ll grow up before you know it,” Y/N said. “So enjoy him being tiny now.”

“Aw look at him yawning,” Matthew cooed. “So cute.”

James watched as his brothers fawned over their nephew and then glanced at his wife. He still couldn’t believe it; they were parents. He reached down to squeeze her hand and she smiled at him. This was a new adventure for him but he was confident that he could do this. With his wife by his side, James knew they’d be fantastic parents.

________________________________________________________________

“A da do da,” Atticus babbled. “A da.”

James turned on the light to the nursery. It was midnight and a certain someone had woken up. Atticus gurgled with glee as his father walked over to him. James couldn’t help but smile as he leaned against the crib. Atticus promptly reached for James’ glasses and almost pulled them off his face.

“You should be asleep,” James picked up his son. “Mama is exhausted and I’m not waking her up so you’re stuck with me.”

Atticus seemed fine with that and he leaned against his father’s chest, his fist in his mouth. James sat down in the rocking chair and started to rock, rubbing his son’s back. Fatherhood was something else; he had never been so exhausted and fulfilled in his entire life. There were days where Atticus just cried but James still loved him. Poopy diapers, baby vomit and an irregular sleep schedule meant nothing to him. James was just bursting with pride at being a father.

“I know I keep telling you this and you may not understand it completely,” James said. “But I love you. I love you so much. You and your mother are the most important things in the world to me. Nothing will ever happen to you on my watch. I’m going to protect you no matter what. Plus, you have four uncles who would kill for you and I do mean literally kill.”

Atticus’ eyes began to droop as he drifted off to sleep. Once they were closed, James carefully and quietly transferred the slumbering baby into his crib. He was thankful when Atticus didn’t stir so he turned off the light and headed back to the room he shared with his wife. She was still asleep but she stirred when he joined her in the bed.

“Did Atticus wake up?” She mumbled.

“Yes but he’s asleep,” James kissed her cheek. “Go back to bed dearest.”

“But why didn’t you wake me up?” She asked.

“You need your rest,” James wrapped his arms around her. “I can’t allow you to wake up at night when you’re exhausted.”

“But---”

James silenced her with a kiss.

“No buts. I can’t let the love of my life work so hard and not get any sleep,” James caressed her face. “He’s safe and asleep. That is all that matters.”

Book 4 Chapter 4

Kathey sat on her bed, the Council’s books laid out in front of her and a notepad on her knee. The fact that this had turned into an investigation was mildly concerning. Brokenstar was an easy case, Deathbore came to her with the information. The hunters had been stupid enough to kidnap her two youngest fledglings on top of Cyrus and Aaron running out on Garrett and joining Voutneth. Agony exposed himself through nightmares and his stunt on Halloween.

This situation, however. It could be any of the remaining Council members! Lust could be taking them because they’re males, Envy could take them because of jealousy towards big strong males, Greed could take them for collection purposes. There was no telling who it really was.

Kathey chewed on her pen as she read a passage in Pride’s book. She was coming to the conclusion that Pride would probably play tricks on them and be pretty direct like Agony was. Pride was only really good for bragging about how great he was and paralyzing people since Horror Dragons had that ability. She looked up when the door to her room opened and Sylark stepped through.

“Don’t tell me they got Zoymey...” Kathey asked and Sylark shook his head.

“Darkness disappeared. He has not been seen since last night,” Sylark announced and Kathey tossed Pride’s book in front of her.

“Fesh... what is happening? Who the hell is taking males connected to the Academy and more importantly who is doing it?” Kathey asked, not expecting an answer. She shook her head and sighed. “Any clues?”

“Not from what I saw, I assume you will be tracking down other locations to find clues?” Kathey closed Pride’s book and stood from her bed.

“You assume correct, Samual still here?” She started out without waiting for an answer.

The flight wasn’t long, Samual leading Anna through the skies as he tracked Trevor’s scent. His tongue flicking out to get a better trace of the trail.

“He flew over the treess and landed a few yardsss away,” Samual directed and Anna nodded, following him and spotting broken branched.

“Hang on, Samual,” Anna called out, flailing her wings to stop and hover over the spot. She could see how the snow was disturbed like someone had fallen through the trees and crash landed. Anna was reminded of what Arc might’ve gone through when he had been attacked.

Arc... Anna still struggled to trust the Archangel Dragon considering he had little memory of his past and his wings... Archangel Dragons had a unique trait to them, their alignment was displayed in their wings. White for good, grey for neutral, and black for evil. Arc’s wings were a rich black.

Anna shook her head of the thoughts and flew to land a few yards away from the scene, avoiding disturbing the snow where a dragon had crashed through the trees. Possibly. She approached the area and sniffed around a bit. Trevor was here, no doubt, if the scent of his blood was anything to go by. Water-Ice Dragons had clear blood, but blood is blood, salty and metallic. And with Anna’s Venom Dragon traits, she could pick it up so much better than other dragons that didn’t feed on blood. What she didn’t expect to pick up alongside the scent of blood was a sickening sweet scent. It actually burned her nose when the pheromones hit.

“Ugh, what in Kaylano’s name is that?” She coughed and rubbed at her snout. She looked up when Samual landed and he sniffed the air, flicking his tongue and humming.

“That ssmellss amazing, what iss that?” he questioned, sniffing around for the source. Anna watched Samual search for the scent, then it hit her. A really sweet scent that repelled her, but attracted a male? It sounded so familiar... where had she read that before?

“Samual, let’s go, I need to go to the castle,” Anna said, taking off. Samual’s head shot up from the snow before taking off as well.

“Casstle? Wait, why?” he asked.

“I might know what this is about.”

~oOo~

“Get the hell off of me!” Trevor snapped as Lust drove the heel of her boot into his back. He was on his stomach after being shoved onto it and Lust decided to pull this stunt, whatever it was she had planned.

“Shut it. Behave and maybe I won’t take away your stupid humanity,” Lust threatened and Trevor swallowed. He knew she was a vampire, as for what dragon breed she was, he couldn’t even guess. Her eyes were bright red, much like Agony. But she didn’t have nightmare causing abilities, she couldn’t be a Nega Dragon.

“Leave him alone!” Malice snarled and Lust looked over to the Thunder Dragon.

“Be patient, you’ll get a turn,” Lust purred. Malice growled a warning, baring his teeth which looked like his sharp dragon teeth. So they could get their sharp teeth then. Lust kneeled down with a knee on either side of Trevor’s hips, gripping his hair and pulling his head back, inhaling at his neck. Trevor growled when his hair was pulled.

“Let me go, get off me!” Trevor repeated. Lust hummed like she was thinking about it.

“Mmm, no.” Trevor cried out as the vampire’s fangs pierced his neck. Right away he grew light headed as the life was drained from him. His vision started to get fuzzy when Lust finally pulled away, licking her lips. “Interesting, Water-Ice Dragons have actual cold blood. Rather tasty if I do say so myself.” The weight from Lust is suddenly launched off of Trevor and Haarvik stands over the teen, growling at Lust.

“Stay the hell away from him,” Haarvik commanded. Lust pushed herself up and grinned.

“Look at you protecting the pathetic yearling. Big strong Rukmar protecting the weak human. I hardly took any blood from him and I doubt he can stand.” Trevor grit his teeth and attempted to roll to his back, his head throbbed at trying to sit up so he stayed down.

“I protect them because that’s my job.” Lust scoffed and got to her feet, brushing her skirt off.

“Puh-lease! You’re just obligated to defend the little dragons from the big bad monsters because you are a monster.” Trevor stared up at Haarvik who was tense and his face stoic.

Haarvik? A monster? Lust’s words obviously rubbed the large Rukmar the wrong way. Lust and Haarvik stared each other down for a while before Lust smirked and walked out of the room. Haarvik exhaled and stepped over Trevor and returned to sitting in his spot by Jarin’do who snored away.

“What was she talking about?” Trevor asked, rolling to his side to look at Haarvik. The large creature exhaled and shook his head.

“I don’t know. She may be referring to the near extinction of the Flower Dragons, since I am a Moon Dragon. I have no involvement with that war though,” Haarvik explained. “I was born on Orrumai as a dragon, trained in the ways of dragon magic and was going to be assigned to the temple, but I met Nyx and we started the Night Walkers. I protect others because I was born and trained to protect. I got more out of it with Nyx, Jarin’do, and Kyona.” Trevor hums and Haarvik nods to him. “Get some rest, you’re probably high on endorphins right now, those vampires are known to trigger that reaction when they feed sometimes.”

Trevor attempted to do just that, his dreams being filled with images of Vatuna and a blond haired infant with bright blue eyes.

Anna sifted through book after book in the library, Samual and Welsh sat nearby, watching her look.

“Anna, please, if you would tell me what it is you are looking for, perhaps I can help,” Welsh reminded her for the third time. Anna flapped her wings and hovered in front of the bookshelves, finally finding the books she was looking for. As soon as she pulled them all, she glided to the floor and curled up off to the side, skimming through the first book and finding a passage.

While in legends, Incubi and Succubi are said to take advantage of humans in their sleep, those of the real world work differently. They charm, procreate, and steal the souls of those they have sex with. A trait to assist in these situations is they smell appealing to the opposite sex, while repulsive to the same sex. Succubi have an extremely sweet scent and Incubi have a very spicy smell.

“Extremely sweet smell...” Anna mumbled. She continued reading.

The demons are masters at deception and prefer to infiltrate and charm rather than fight, though they will when provoked.

“Trevor wouldn’t start any unnecessary fights, that’s not in his nature. He’s a big brother, he would protect when needed, not fight if he’s left alone.” Anna flipped open the other few books, dragons with aggressive natures. Venom, Toxic, Toxic Metallic, Xeno. Though at the sight of the Toxic Dragon book, Anna paused and looked up at the shelves. “Toxic Valentine Dragon book?” she asked.

“Shelf eleven,” Welsh informed her and she flew up to search for the book. Anna pulled it and flew back to her spot, looking through the words.

Toxic Valentine Dragons are known to seduce other dragons before killing and eating their hearts. These dragons are able to put any dragon who’s heart is free under a trance and draw them to a destination. These dragons are also known to have Succubus as their non-dragon form. Toxic Valentine Dragons do not have a breath element, but they do have a venomous bite.

Anna looked up at Samual and swallowed. “I need some parchment and ink.” Welsh set a stack of paper on the floor and a bottle of ink and a phoenix feather quill in front of her. Anna wrote out information before rolling the parchment up into a few scrolls and nodded to her teacher. “We must be off, thank you, Welsh.”

“I have hopes you will solve this and bring an end to the Council like your predecessor did years before. May Kaylano guide you in times of need.”

“And may Gradroso grant you eternal life,” Anna replied and Samual followed her out.

“What wass that blesssing?” Samual questioned.

“I am Kaylano’s child of the skies. He watches over me. Welsh is Gradroso’s actual son, so it’s a blessing we say to Welsh personally in hopes he will live on to educate those about the past.”

The two flew back to Voutneth where what members remained of the team. What was a concern though was Zoymey and Galzra were missing. “They’re sparring in the gym,” Mitsua informed Kathey. It brought some relief at least.

“What’s this important information you have for us?” Sonar inquired. Kathey unrolled the scrolls and looked them over before exhaling and looking over what made up her team.

“A Toxic Valentine Dragon is behind the kidnappings. It’s possible she is a Succubus as well, she reeks of a sweet scent that she’s leaving behind,” Kathey started.

“Which means only one specific member is behind this,” Sylark noted and Kathey nodded.

“We’re dealing with Lust,” Kathey continued. “I would consider her a super vampire due to being a vampire and a Venom Dragon. She’s probably under orders from Agony, if his plan was to fail, she was to begin this one. Frankly it makes sense considering she lures away the physical strength of the team.”

“It’s not going to work though,” Tikimune bragged and Kathey smirked at her optimism.

“No, it’s not, because we’ve proved we’re not a typical source of power. I want everyone to keep an eye on each other, I have cots on hand to set up in the gym to sleep. They still have to put furniture together for the dorm and staff rooms. There’s space outside for the cold lovers.” Kathey looks over at Brenda, Aya, and Ractor who grinned back. “Ractor, I would be careful about being outside though.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Ractor replied.

“Rest up, train up, we’ll talk plan in the morning. Dismissed.”
