The Morning After.

Sister Poppy was the first to arrive in Castanica and peered across the street to the tavern, looking for her brother's party. Not seeing them, she looked up to the mountains south of the city scanning the sky for Pegasus. She spotted four dropping down fast and moved next to the Flight Master as they arrived.

Sister Poppy, her brother and his friends walked into the Pleasure Street Inn, looking for the owner Xadia.

Xadia was in her sanctuary counting last night's take and preparing bills for her guests, when she heard a group of footsteps. She stood up, brushed her long silver hair back with her hands, and walked towards the racket.

"Good morning, may I help you", she asked the party in front of her.

A familiar voice replied, "Xadia it's good to see you again old friend."

"Sister Poppy, what a pleasant surprise, you here to see your brother?"

From the look on Sister's face, it was obvious she did not know her brother was here.

"That hornball brother of mine, is here, should have known", Sister smiled.

"Ah. Yep! He had quite a night, he is in room three" and gestured behind her to a door on the right.

Sister's tail started to twitch as they walked towards the door, and told Xadia, "I need to see him right now, please, it's important."

"He's not alone be prepared", the lovely tavern owner disclosed.

"Thank you Xadia. My big brother and I, have done this many times over the seasons."

Pulling out a key, Xadia walked to the door and opened it for them.

The door opened and flooded the tavern inn room with daylight. The room was a mess, clothing everywhere, empty bottles and spilled food. Sister looked up at the small rose bush chandelier weighted down with her brother's top hat, three sets of undergarments, two tiny sets and one rather large.

On the large sleep mat in the middle of the room, they saw a naked castanic female, cuddled up to the back of Poppy, in a fetal position with her arm around him pulling him close. Watching them, every time Poppy took a breath, the castanic let out a low moan. Stout and Kuora looked at each other, exchanged a knowing look, and smiled warmly.

Dead center of the sleep mat, was a nude Amani female, laying on her stomach, arms stretched out, one around Poppy and the Castanic, and one on the tiny castanic's bare rear.

#Hornball that's what he is, no doubt about it,# she thought.

"What are you doing here Asaana", shouted Kuora?

The sleeping Amani started to stir, raised her head, cocked it towards the group, and when her mind cleared, snapped "Well little sister, what brings you here?"

"Our Popori friends need their brother and our help."

Asaana got up, walked over to her sister and embraced her, reached down with her right hand, and scratched Stout behind the ear."

"Good to see you old friend" she purred.

Sister walked over to her sleeping brother and gave is leg a sisterly squeeze.

Poppy felt a sharp pain like he use to feel whenever his sister would pinch him awake.

"He shouted, "Stop it Damn it", and tried to sit up, but couldn't his tail was caught. He tried wiggling it free and heard a low moan, reached around to his tail and felt a warm pair of legs. Where was he? He did not know, who was the naked castanic female across from him, and who had his tail between their legs?

He wiggled his tail vigorously, the moaning grew louder and the female that had his tail trapped, pulled him tighter. He suddenly recognized the dampness on his tail.

"Oh!" He squeaked. He heard loud laughter and his mind started clearing.

Asaana bellowed "Kuora, you never told me Poporis could do that with their tails."

Poppy chirped in. "Only Beaver Popori!"

Stout was looking up at Kuora and blushing, his amani special friend answered, "Some things you need to learn on your own big sister."

Sister Poppy ordered, "Enough of this foolishness."

Walked over to her brother, grabbed the castanic's legs, freed her brother's tail and kicked him.

"Get your mystic beaver but up right now!" she screamed.

The dancer stood up and complained to Sister Poppy, "Why did you do that, I was getting to my happy place."

The female Popori's tail started thumping and she shot back "You, You. Castanics, all you think about is pleasure. There are serious matters a paw."

Lorcia came back, "Tsk. Tsk. Someone needs to be pleasured"

Sister walked over to a pile of clothes in the corner of the room, and started her breathing routine, trying to find her calm.

Poppy standing in the center of the sleep mat, massaging his pounding head howled, "In the name of Seren, what demon is inside my head trying to burst out, it's killing me."

Asaana barked, "I can fix that."

The totally naked reptilian skinned Amani, walked over to Poppy, placed the palms of both her hands on the sides of his head, squeezed, and brought his head between her breasts.

Stout winced, knowing what was to come, his Kuora, had cured a few of his hangovers.

Poppy was hanging from Asaana like a child's doll, and she started squeezing harder and harder.

Poppy screamed in agony, "You are killing me Asaana!"

She dropped him to the floor and there was silence.

"The pain is gone! The pain is gone! Thank Seren the pain is gone!" he sang out and did a victory dance.

A scholarly Baraka's voice broke in, "No, thank the Amani healer Agnodice. She was the first to research that Pain can stop Pain"

Sister joined the conversation in a serene voice, "Thank you Master Thuul, as always you enrich our knowledge. And thank you Asaana for healing my brother's hangover"

Then looking at her mystic brother, sarcastically added, "Even though he deserved to suffer for his foolishness."

She then commanded, "Everyone outside, let us break bread, and share a morning drink, there is much to discuss. And little brother get dressed and invite your friends to join us."

Altarius walked over to Kysharia, sitting on the edge of the sleep mat, and snickered, "You served them Kumas, last night, didn't you? And you added something special, and not a pebble?"

She wickedly, "How long are you in town? Come see me before you leave, lover boy."

Everyone that had clothing on, left the room, and gathered at the first table they came to.

Sister waved Xadia over and requested some bread and a kettle of Idyllic Tea.

Poppy and his friends got dressed. He was reaching for his hat, when in harmony, the castanic females spoke, "Thank you Popo for a memorable night. We must do it again real soon."

Asaana snapped, "Not without me, this Popo is now mine, understand girls?"

In the name of the Gods what did I do last night, the dumbfounded Popori thought?
