Jackie got out of the shower and dried off, letting out a very heavy sigh. The time those guards were here was so stressful! Even taking a nice, long hot shower wasn't enough to unwind her tense posture. She shrugged it off, towel drying her hair. Well at least they're gone now and won't be bugging her or her charges. She walked out into her room, pausing before spotting Aleksey tied up on the bed with belts and her original outfit replaced with a pair of loose short shorts and a tank top.
"What the? Aleksey, why are you tied to my bed?" Jackie asked, startled.
Aleksey groaned while letting out a hum, his tail barely managing to curl a bit. "Sabre tied down because I no stay still." He tried to chuckle but failed, clearly tired and sore. "This new experience but fun. I thank host for getting Sabre special toys and sexy underwear," he purred. "I can not wait until I better to get real action with mate."
"Why the hell did she-NO, no no no!" Jackie started before her eyes grew wide. "I was in the freaking shower and you two were going to go for it?! What the hell!" She angrily shouted.
Aleksey smiled, purring and happily closing his eyes. "I still hurt but tie down idea quite nice. Beautiful, flexible, fluffy, adorable and sexy mate had to do most."
Jackie let out a growl of annoyance before she walked over to the closet and found all of her clothes, shoes and accessories completely gone. Jackie blinked, startled. "Where are all my other clothes?"
"Sabre took them downstairs. She had curious reaction when she saw them when looking for belts." Aleksey explained, trying to stretch a bit but groaning from even trying.
"W-Why?" Jackie asked, confused and grabbing the clothes before going over to the drawers and finding her socks, underwear and everything gone. Not even a single lone sock was left.
"No worry host. Sabre very generous and wants to gift favorite hooman and petter a nice surprise." The tiger hummed.
Jackie's face paled. A nice surprise? She … really didn't like the sound of that. Jackie went into the bathroom and quickly put on the clothes, an unsettlingly low loose black tank top and a cute pair of loose shorts before heading out.
Once in the living room she heard the whirring of the industrial vent she had in her shop. Jackie hurried downstairs into her shop, worried before opening up the shop door and finding Sabre burning something. "Sabre, what in the world are you burning?" Jackie asked, walking over before freezing seeing her clothes burning with a pile more ready to burn.
"Oh? Hi Jackie." Sabre smiled, closing her eyes at the host. "I noticed all your clothes are in shreds, scratched, ripped or just plain old and ugly. They were so damaged that you can't even donate them or anything." She said, tossing the next pile to be disposed off.
"SABRE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Jackie screamed in terror before rushing over but Naoki caught her, grabbing and holding her in place while Sabre fed the fire with her clothing. "No, let me go! Sabre, stop that!" Jackie shouted, struggling in Naoki's grasp and pulling the loose tank top down a bit with her struggling.
"It's a bit my fault because I have not finished the WYLD line for hosts with all that happened." Sabre scratched the back of her head apologetically. "But they will be ready soon." She tossed some more too. "I'm burning them because they are useless scraps besides being too old and ugly, and barely holding together. And I'll give you a whole new set, cute and functional and resistant!" The leopardess eyes shone. "Oh, and they are already paid for by the deal with Smith." As Sabre tossed some of Jackie's old bra's she noticed the size and then looked towards Jackie's chest before looking at her way more modest chest and her smile dropped.
"Naoki, put me down! Stop burning my clothes, I barely have anything left as there is!" Jackie cried, grabbing Naoki's arms and struggling to wriggle out of them but he held onto her tightly.
"Calm down Jacie. I already ordered a bunch of cute stuff for you before the order for WYLD is ready." Sabre tossed in an armful of clothes before walking over to Jackie and poking her cheek.
Jackie tried to bite Sabre but Sabe pulled her hand back, looking surprised before Jackie glared at her. "I can't believe you-! STOP DESTROYING MY PROPERTY, D*** IT!" She shouted, flailing her legs angrily.
"Should I suggest some punishment for the hidenka's attempt at bitting the claws that protect her?" Naoki casually suggested, holding Jackie's mouth shut and squishing her cheeks.
Sabre looked surprised and even a bit betrayed, her ears tossed back, her pupils big and the line of fur along her spine slightly perked. "What? Why you did that?"
Jackie shook her head, making Naoki let go before she glared at Sabre. "Absolutely definitely no petting for another week!" Jackie angrily shouted. "You can't just burn my stuff without my permission!"
"But I'm giving you new and better clothes and stuff." Sabre was taken aback. "I'm doing you good. You can't take away my petting!"
"I can and I will! Watch me! I'm so pissed that you just thought I would be totally fine with you burning my clothes a-and getting me new ones without telling me! What kind of best friend are you?!" Jackie shouted at her in annoyance.
"M-my petting! And I warned you, I told you since we went with Smith I'd get you new clothes! I … I … ," Subre puffed, now with indignation.
"You never told me you'd burn my old ones!" Jackie shouted, still struggling in Naoki's grasp. "That's rude! NO PETTING!" Jackie shouted before she stopped moving, huffing and puffing angrily while Naoki kept his grip firm around her.
"I'm trying to care for you." Sabre hissed. "If you are going to be petty and horrible then ... then … I'll burn everything in one go!" She stormed back to toss all remaining piles. "I was only going to dispose of the more old and damaged stuff and replace things progressively, but no. I'm burning it all." She growled."If you want to be horrible I can too."
"NO! Don't!" Jackie cried, panicking and kicking her legs. "Okay, okay I take it back, leave my stuff alone! It may be crap but it's my crap!" Jackie shouted.
"Too late, you horrible hooman!" Sabre then dashed upstairs into the guest room to get those clothes and any other piece Jackie had, even the kitchen apron, coming back to and burning all. She then went and brought back all the boxes with old clothes, not even seeing what was inside to sort it out.
"No, no wait Sabre, not those! Those are my brother's and father's clothes!" Jackie shouted with a frightened waver to her voice. "F-Fine, burn whatever else you want b-b-but leave those clothes alone!" Jackie said, tense and frightened but Sabre had already tossed everything into the sacrificial pire. It was too late."SABRE NO!" Jackie screamed at her, digging her nails into Naoki's arms and struggling to get free.
"You said we were like your family!" Sabre growled, her pupils large and almost watery. "My pets … ," she sniffed.
"That doesn't mean you can erase what I once had!" Jackie shouted back at her with tears spilling over onto her cheeks. "Fine, have your pets back, I don't care just let me get it out!" Jackie shouted, struggling against Naoki.
"It's already burning." Sabre looked at all that was set ablaze, her ears dropping. But she looked at Jackie very seriously. "Sometimes it's better to move on and leave the past behind. To let go of what is already gone." She said, looking away.
Jackie remained silently, her jaw trembling as she looked down at the ground and remain very still and quiet. The only noise she made was an occasional quick breath, struggling not to make much sound as tears rolled over her cheeks rather messily. She bit her lip, knowing if she said something now then she'd regret it. She knew Sabre's heart was in the right place but that did not make this any less harsh. She had been meaning to get rid of those old clothes but … like this, so suddenly, was so painful she could barely stand to breathe. They were old clothes and useless now but they held so many memories of them. She remained quiet, sniffling and shakily breathing.
Sabre approached, and hesitantly gave Jackie a big hug while Naoki made sure the vines prevented the host from trying to bite her.
Jackie heavily sighed, thumping her forehead against Sabre's shoulder. " … I'm pissed off but you're right. At least now we'll have more storage space for other stuff." Jackie lifelessly said, watching the box of memories, nice and painful, burn up to a crisp. " … I'm still pissed … but you can have your pets back."
Sabre didn't said anything, she just maintained the hug while Jackie watched her beloved past one's clothes burn up to a crisp.

For the next hour Jackie watched as her clothes, shoes and other accessories were all burnt to a crisp leaving her only in the loose clothes she was wearing now which offered her not even the slightest bit of support.
Once Sabre was done she walked back upstairs, saying she was going to use Jackie's room for some more fun with Aleksey before Naoki let the host go. Jackie rushed upstairs, trying to get into her room but Sabre had the door already locked and barricade.
"Oh come on, you have your own d*** room!" Jackie shouted, punching the door a few times before standing there huffing angrily, hearing meowing and growls and roars from inside.
"What up host?" Jaska appeared, stepping besides the host before his ears flickered as he listened. The host's room was the only one without sound proofing so he could hear the activities inside and he blushed, unsure how he should feel about it. So instead he turned his attention back to the host and noticed her new cute attire.
"What's up? What's up?! Sabre just burned all my clothes, d***it!" Jackie shouted, stamping her foot angrily against the ground.
"Da? That why you changed style? I like, shows more." Jaska said, complimenting the new clothes while staring at her chest, smirking. "You finally take contract serious? Nice. I be happy to comply."
" … what?" Jackie growled before looking down, seeing the tank top had slipped down a bit. She jolted, startled before trying to pull it back up and cover herself up a bit better. "N-No, stupid Sabre got rid of all my other clothes." Jackie huffed in embarrassment with a deep frown.
"Blouse cute." Jaska smiled. "You no have more?"
"This is the only thing she didn't burn." Jackie angrily growled before gasping, looking up to Jaska. "Jaska, let me borrow some of your clothes." She said, grabbing his arms and trying to prevent him from running while her shirt slipped down once again.
"Why? It nice." He flickered his tail, smiling as he leaned forward.
"It's too revealing especially since she burned all my bras and underwear." Jackie growled in annoyance, trying not to move too much. The slightly bit of movement made them bounce - it had been a while since she's gone commando and she was not a fan of it.
"So you no wearing other underwear either." Jacka's smile widened as his imagination went more wild. "I find no problem."
Jackie frustrated blush deepened as she nodded in annoyance. "Yeah. And of course it's not a problem for you, it's my problem not yours." Jackie frowned. "Now, I'm going to go raid your closet." Jackie said, side stepping him and holding her chest to keep the girls still.
"I no mind if you want to cover self with my clothes hosts, but can I be the one to put them on after removing current?" He smirked his kitty smile.
"I'm just going to use one as a jacket." Jackie said, frowning at the pervy remark. Was he really going to give her trouble for this? She rolled her eyes in annoyance at him, holding herself up as she marched off to his room quickly to raid his closet. Jaska would have some button down shirts she could borrow for a little bit.
Jaska's tail flipped around pleasantly. He liked the idea of the host wearing his shirts on her and wearing his scent for the others to smell. Showing off to the other males while having her wear his scent would be nice. He trotted along after her, humming pleasantly.
She started down the hallway before Eztli landed right in front of her, making her jolt in surprise as Eztli looked down at her with big eyes and purred.
"Wow, Jackie, you look super cute!" Eztli cried, frolicking over before hugging her. He paused, pulling back and looking down at her chest. With attentive eyes he tilted his head, seeming confused.
"W-What?" She asked, trying to cover herself up before his face lit up, figuring something out.
"Yay! No bra! That's why they're so soft and squishy." Eztli happily cried before picking her up, startling Jackie with his strength as he nuzzled against her chest and purred.
"Eztli, get off! I have to go find a shirt!" Jackie said, trying to push him off.
"Why? You look cute." Eztli purred, nuzzling against her collarbone while tightly hugging her. He glanced up at the time, jolting. "Hey! My favorite show is on!" Eztli cried as he picked Jackie up by the legs and easily held her up. Jackie's eyes widened, startled as she felt Eztli's strongly bound arms hold her with ease without the slightest sign of weakness. The jaguar had gotten a lot stronger than when she first met him.
Eztli rubbed against her shoulder, carrying her into the living room before plopping Jackie right onto the couch. He flicked on the television and sat beside Jackie before pulling her onto his lap, surprising her as he pushed his face against her neck while the documentary about jaguars played on the television.
"E-Eztli, come on." Jackie frowned, physically unable to push the strong jaguar away as he leaned over on top of her and rested his head on her chest while watching the documentary.
Eztli purred and cuddled against Jackie while watching about jaguar's roaring on the documentary.
Jackie watched the program as well, staring as two jaguars fought for territory and roared fiercely at once another. As she listened to the terrifying sounds they were making she came to realize something. "Hey, Eztli, have you ever roared before? Like, for real?" Jackie asked, looking down at him in curiosity.
"Haven't I?" Eztli thought about it. He hadn't thought about it but had he ever roared for real? Sure, he had done mini growls and mini roars and maybe a few average roars but a big roar like the one in the TV or even like the other kitties in the house did when they were serious? "Mmhh … no?"
"Do you think you could?" Jackie asked, now very curious. She had never heard Eztli make much more than a hiss or a very tame snarl compared to Sabre's or Jaska's angry roars when trying to kill each other. Even when he was feral he never really roared, it was more of a barking snarl. Even Antain had sort of roared before.
"I think I can." Eztli flickered his ears and then moved back, standing up and shifting a bit in place. He tested a few grunts, took a deep breath, and opened his mouth big but then Antian came and roared before Eztli could.
Antain jumped up onto Eztli's lap and laughed, leaping off before running around him trying to play. Eztli laughed, getting up and chasing the little fox before catching his leg and dragging him back while Antain laughed and playfully bit his wrist with a soft purr. Eztli grinned before Antain roared up at him, making Eztli smile widely. "Antain! Show me how to roar, okay?" Eztli excitedly grinning.
Antain rolled onto his feet, looking up at him with his ears lowered.
"Here, just like this." Eztli said, pulling Antain around and showing him the screen as a jaguar roared. "Just like that, okay?"
Antain stood up and roared at the television set before he began laughing in enjoyment. He ran up to the screen, gently tapping on it in amusement.
"Looks easy." Eztli smiled, getting on all fours, stretching and wiggling his rear a bit and then his shoulders before he stretched and released a really loud and terrifying roar that reverberated through the entire house. The sound was so great that he scared himself, jolting back with a wide eyed gaze before he jumped over the host and hugged her. "Jackie!" The jaguar held tightly onto the host, crying and more or less scared of the sound he made.
"E-Eztli, there's nothing to be scared of. You're the one who roared." Jackie said before she heard thundering steps rushing down the hallway.
Sabre and Aleksey skidded to a halt, looking around in a near panic before rushing towards the sound of the roars. Antian sometimes roared randomly for fun but that other roar right afterwards made rush towards it, roaring themselves as they reached the livingroom, seeing Eztli holding onto the host with fright while Antian was roaring up at the screen again and again.
Jaska burst into the room, letting out a threatening roar before he snarled, looking around the room and trying to sense for the danger before looking to Eztli and the other felines looking around also looking for dangers. "Why you roar?"
Kroc shot through the doorway, shouldering Jaska out of the way before he looked around the room as well while Dumisa peeked inside, blinking with his mouth opened and showing the black interior of his mouth. "I don't see anything dangerous." Dumisa noted.
"Something fun happening?" Reza asked, peeking out of the water with his knives in full view and ready to throw, flaring his spines.
Jackie was surprised that everyone had come running and, while trying to make sure Eztli didn't crush her with his strength, she went ahead and pet him while looking to the other. "It's fine, really. Eztli was just testing out his roar and startled himself." She explained with a stiff sigh as she gently pet Eztli's head while he tightly hugged her and hid his face into her shoulder.
"I confirm what the hidenka says, the jaguar was practicing his battle roar." Naoki said from the rafters that had been invaded by vines.
"It was really scary!" Eztli cried, shivering as his tail curled around his legs. "I-I don't think I ever roared like that before." He admitted with a small scared hiccup.
"Oh Eztli." Sabre exhaled and went over to the jaguar, hugging him and licking his face. "Esta bien. Fue impresionante. (It's all fine. It was impressive)." She smiled, comforting and hugging him.
"No need to be scared of your own voice. It's there for a reason." Kroc chuckled.
"I-I-It was really loud." Eztli whimpered, wrapping an arm around Sabre too and nuzzled her. "And it scared me."
Sabre hugged him tighter. "Of course it was loud. It was a mighty roar. Your first one." She nuzzled him.
"You no roared before?" For the moment Aleksey ignored how cuddly and familiar the jaguar was with his cherished mate. Seeing a feline as large as Eztli he would have expected him to have learned to properly roar by now.
"No … I haven't. They don't like bottoms to roar." Eztli simply explained. "I was a good boy so they left my vocal cords alone."
Aleksey's and everyone's eyes widened for a second. They already knew about Eztli's horrible past, each little new info just adding to the indignation.
Jackie gently kissed Eztli's forehead, hugging and rubbing Eztli's back as Sabre helped nuzzling and licking him too. "Well, it's alright now. You can practice roaring as much as you like in the safe room." Jackie suggested.
"That's a very good idea." Sabre clapped.
"Are we going to help him roar some more?" Kroc asked with a toothy grin.
"We felines are. You can only hiss." Jaska laughed.
"I can stick around and listen at least. It's not like the walls will quiet your roars very well anyway." Kroc shrugged.
"Well, I in the meantime am going into the safe room to nap. Wake me when you're done." Dumisa sighed before turning to leave but Eztli jolted up, seeing him.
"You are too sleepy snake, did you forget they sound proofed the rooms except for the host's room?" Kroc rolled his eyes.
"Good. And it took them long enough like when they needed to repair the hole in my room. Even better. I'll just go back to my designated territory then." Dumisa hissed in annoyance, crossing his arms and moving away.
"W-Wait! Hold me!" Eztli shouted, leaping over onto Dumisa's back. "C-Can you hold me while I practice?" Eztli hesitantly asked with lowered ears.
"Why?" Dumisa grouchily frowned.
"So I don't get scared again." He answered, staring up at him. "Roaring is scary, but I'll be fine if you hug me tight." Eztli purred, nuzzling against him. Dumisa heavily sighed in annoyance before curling up behind the couch while looking a tight coil around Eztli's waist.
"Fine, but when I get bored I'm leaving. You can hug the host then or something and as thanks, tonight you can be my heat pillow." He said with a lazy wave of his hand.
Reza came up from the tube's hatch and then accommodated to watch the show as vines that no one noticed also accommodated in the room above in the rafts.
"Here, Eztli, practice with deep growl in back of throat." Jaska suggested as he leaned over to the jaguar and nuzzled his head. "You made a roar of fear, now make one of power."
"Fear?" Eztli asked, lowering his ears.
"Mmhh … I think he means to say that roars can be adapted to convey different things." Sabre tilted her head and pondered it. So far she had done it all out of her deeper instincts. "A more edgy sound is a sort of 'stay back' warning and a deeper roar with more base says that you are strong and ready to fight." Or at least she thought so.
"O-Ok." Eztli said sitting in Dumisa's coils as he started up a deep growl in his throat that reverberated through his chest. The jaguar closed his eyes, trying to concentrate.
"Hard to believe jaguar needs teaching on how to roar." Aleksey sighed, grabbing Sabre into a hug. Despite the real origins of his wonderful and beautiful mate she could roar just perfectly with the most melodious and eloquent notes.
"Good, now think of be scary. Roar and scare me." Jaska said, staring at him with an aloof gaze.
Eztli let out an adorable mew before realizing that wasn't supposed to happen, so he stopped, fakely coughed, and then released a jarred roar that was more of a call of some sort.
"No, you not roar to scare. That pitiful." Jaska heavily sighed. "Think of anger when you roar, think to scare thing you roar at." He said.
"But I don't want to scare you. I like you." Eztli admitted with a frown as he nervously flicked his tail around.
Sabre chuckled and hugged Eztli tightly. "You are seriously adorable, Eztli." She giggled, glancing at Antain who was looking at the adults with lots of curiosity.
Sabre let go of Eztli and then kneeled in front of Antain, meowing once for him to imitate, which her cub did. Then she gave a huffy growl and Antian imitated it. "The next one is harder."
She winked at Antain and then roared. After some seconds of awe from Antain, the lil fox imitated his mama and also roared, although in an adorable way.
"Very good, Antain!" Sabre clapped, draggin Antain in a hug to give him kisses and praises. She then of course looked at Eztli. "Did you see? Now it's your turn."
"O-Okay, like this?" Eztli said, taking a few deep breaths before roaring - well, more like snarling but louder.
Jackie watched from the couch, curious about Eztli's roaring and finding the practice to be interesting. Each roar Eztli tested was louder than the last and scarier too. Even while knowing there was nothing to be scared of, Jackie's heart and body still seized up with each roar, instinctively frightened by a predator's menacing call. Nevertheless, it was amazing how loud their roars could get; she briefly remembered that the videos said it had something to do with the frequency. Jackie glanced into the hallway, planning to go grab one of Jaska's shirts while they were practicing. She got up, heading towards the hallway.
"Host! Here!" Eztli roared, grabbing onto Jackie and hugging her tightly while snarling and hissing before looking back to the others and seeing them give him the thumbs up. Eztli gasped, excited as he hugged Jackie tighter. "Did you hear me?! I sound amazing! Host, host give me pets!" Eztli purred, dragging Jackie back into the living room all proud of his roaring.
"In a minute, I need to go steal some of Jaska's clothes." Jackie said, trying to break free but Eztli's grip was undeniable.
"You don't need clothes. You look good without them." The jaguar purred while cuddling her on the floor.
"Jackie, just pet Eztli and tell him how a big strong kitty he is." Sabre clapped again, purring and chuckling, as happy as she was entertained by this while cuddling Antain.
Jackie heavily sighed before turning to Eztli and hugging him, making him gasp in excitement before he threw his clothes off an tightly hugged her with purrs ravaging his chest. "Jackie, you're so soft now without a bra on. You feel amazingly soft and plush and huggable." Eztli went on, nuzzling her closely.
Sabre placed Antain in Aleksey's arms, not noticing the unease of the pup as she went to cuddle with Eztli too, joining in the pets and receiving some from both host and jaguar, sharing the hugs and mewing cutely and playfully.
Aleksey put Antian on the floor and then pulled Sabre back, growling sexily in her ear, "let us have more fun, hm? I feel much more energy." He purred, nuzzling against her before leading her back to Jackie's room.
"You better keep up or I'll tie you up, again." Sabre purred, sexily licking his jaw while happily nuzzling him. She took his hand and they retreated towards the host's room, cuddling, nuzzling and purring all the way there as their tails wrapped around one another's.
"Oh come on, leave my poor room alone!" Jackie shouted at the couple while Eztli tightly held onto her. At her side, Antain roared.

.
After almost an hour of cuddling with Eztli he finally fell asleep on the couch, letting her go. After having pet out her frustrations about Sabre burning her clothes, Jackie managed to calm down some more. Even though Sabre destroyed her clothes, at least she would be replacing them with better clothes that would look nicer. Jackie huffed, still not wanting for forgive her but her anger had sizzled out for the most part. With a heavy sigh Jackie kissed Eztli's forehead, watching him giggle in his sleep and purr before she very quietly and went off to Jaska's room and shut the door. She still needed to cover herself up more; being without underwear on made her self conscious. The host trotted over to Jaska's closet, looking through the selection before finding a simple white button down. She put it on before walking back out, heading over to the kitchen to clean up a bit.
"Hey, Jaska, let's spar." Kroc said, poking his head out of his room once he tasted Jaska's scent nearby before seeing Jackie. "Sheila? Why you wearing Jaska's clothes?" He asked, confused.
"Sabre burned the rest of my clothes." Jackie sighed before perking up, suddenly becoming hopeful. "Hey, Kroc, can I borrow some wrappings you use on your knuckles?" Jackie asked, knowing he had some to protect the punching bag from his sharp scales.
"Uh … yeah, sheila." He said, turning around for Jackie to follow. She followed him into his room as he rummaged around in a drawer, looking for some. "Try the cabinet over there, sheila." He said, lazily pointing at a low riding drawer. She got down on her knees, opening the cabinet up and tried looking for some wraps but was unable to find any. She got down lower, seeing something in the back as her eyes glowed in excitement.
"I think I found some!" Jackie triumphantly grinned, kicking herself in deeper as she tried reaching what looked like might be some wrappings.
"Yeah?" Kroc asked, turning around before seeing her rear up in the air. He blinked, sliding his tail over the tiles as she moved against the opening of the cabinet. A light flush crawled over his face, staring at her hips moving as she struggled to reach deeper inside. "You alright, sheila?" Kroc asked, continuing to stare. "Your outfit looks cute, sheila." Kroc said, continuing to stare before Jackie jolted.
"Ouch!" Jackie hissed, slowly maneuvering her way back out before pulling back a small box. She opened it up, finding it empty with a note in it.
Don't bother looking for something to strap your breasts up, all the bandages in the house have been hidden.
-Sabre
Jackie's eyes widened in horror before she rushed off to the kitchen, pulling out the medkit and finding the bandages gone with the same message left inside. "Sabre, come on! Where the hell are bandages?" Jackie growled, hearing Sabre loudly having fun back in her room. With a defeated sigh, Jackie hung her head in annoyance, not noticing a certain snake staring at her from behind with a pissed off expression.
"Why are you wearing that sorry excuse for a feline's shirt?" Dumisa asked with narrowed eyes.
"Because Sabre burned all my other clothes." Jackie frowned, figuring Dumisa wouldn't have much sympathy for her.
"Well it's about time. Your closet was atrocious." He heavily sighed off to the side.
"You agree with her? That was all the clothes I had." Jackie twitched, bothered by his agreement with Sabre's actions.
"And she is ordering new ones, right?" Dumisa asked, smirking down at her.
"So? That doesn't mean she can burn all my other clothes." Jackie huffed as Dumisa chuckled.
"Why were you keeping all those clothes anyway? They were cliched and had holes in them." Dumisa asked, curious. "Humans are not typically known to be hoarder mammals like mice or other rodents."
Jackie hesitated, unsure how to put it into words. "I … well, I've been meaning to get rid of them for quite sometime now but never got around to it." She admitted.
"And why didn't you, host?" Dumisa crossed his arms. "You are not the lazy type."
" … well, to be honest, I didn't want to forget about my brother and father. Those old clothes were theirs… and my mother's. I … I thought if I got rid of all their old clothing and things, it would be like throwing out my memories of them." She explained before nervously coughing, not liking exposing her more vulnerable feelings, "but hey, I guess Sabre did save me some time by getting rid of them." Jackie said with a stiff half laugh before pausing, looking more genuinely sad than humorous in her words. "It's silly, I know," she admitted, glancing away from him and crossing her arms in a protective manner for herself.
Dumisa poked the host's forehead a bit hard. "So Sabre helped you out to move on, huh?" He smirked. "The past isn't worth anything if it doesn't help the future."
"Yeah, that's true." She lightly smiled, "thanks, Dumisa." She spoke, holding his hand and gently petting his arm for a moment before letting go.
"I'll, look forward to what's coming, I helped Sabre pick them out." He smirked before reaching forward and yanking the shirt off of her before tossing the shirt up into the rafters where she couldn't reach.
"No! Dumisa, that's my cover!" Jackie shouted while holding her shirt together. She looked around the walls, trying to find an easier way to climb up. She hopped onto the counter to climb up and retrieve the shirt but Dumisa caught her waist, pulling her away from her prize.
"It was an atrocious cover. You can wear something of mine that compliments that good looking outfit." He smiled, carrying Jackie off to his room.
Jackie heavily sighed as Dumisa brought her into his room before he set her down, heading over to his closet and taking a look inside his carefully organized clothes inside. Jackie's eyes widened, leaning to the side and staring at how much clothes he had. When he first arrived he barely had 3 shirts but now he had what looked like hundreds all packed in tightly!
"Hm … no, this won't do … neither would this, it's too loose and flowy." Dumisa muttered to himself, continuing to look through his shirts.
"Hola! What are you doing?" Eztli came in and immediately hugged the host from behind, and immediately squished Jackie's breasts, pinching and pulling on her nips too. "You are soft when you go all natural, host? These are soft, bigger than Sabre's too. I want to cuddle between them." He meowed and tried to pull her shirt up to get his head over her boobs.
"Ouch! Eztli stop that," Jackie said, trying to push the grabby jaguar off while protectively blocking his hands with her arms. "Eztli, what's gotten into you?" Jackie lightly scolded as she turned away from him. Knowing his past she would have thought that he would steer clear of her sensitive parts but the needy jaguar was just shamelessly diving right in. "Don't take advantage of me just because all my bras were burned." Jackie huffed in annoyance.
"But you are so soft and cuddly without it!" Eztli happily purred as he hugged her from behind and gently licked her hair to groom her. "I just want to cuddle even more now." He smiled happily.
Jackie sat herself down and held still, letting him groom her head while protecting her torso area from him.
"Tch … none of my shirts work." He heavily sighed. "The simplicity of the outfit is cute enough as it is." Dumisa said, turning around and seeing Eztli nuzzling and hugging Jackie while nude. Dumisa frowned in annoyance, slithering over before pushing Eztli off.
Eztli just rolled on the floor and then leapt over Dumisa's coils, crawling under them and then surfacing to give the lamia a big purring hug. "I want to cuddle you too. You are a great cuddler, Dumisa."
While Eztli distracted Dumisa Jackie slipped out of the room, very heavily sighing and rubbing her head in annoyance. This was a freaking nightmare.
Jackie glanced into Reza's room, hesitating before heading inside. She needed to cool her head. "Hey, Reza." Jackie said, walking inside and seeing him poke his head up from the sushi bar. "Mind if I have some salmon sushi?" Jackie asked, walking over and taking a seat.
"Simple salmon? I'll prepare it right away … although maybe you should try some sashimi too. I even got ponzu sauce." Reza happily began cooking some rice before swimming off to catch a salmon
Jackie slumped against the counter, trying to ignore her problems while she heard Reza's knife clacking against the board, cutting up the delicious fresh sushi.
"And what happened to get that burning smell? Did some other charge tried to cook something? By the way host, you look good in those other clothes. I can see more and that is good, you still look plump and soft but firm." Reza carefully cut out the salmon slices and added them to the rolls, cones and small rice pieces.
"Oh, yeah, that was Sabre burning all my clothes." Jackie huffed in annoyance. At this point she was mostly past the anger and was just annoyed.
"Is that why you are not wearing one of those bra things that cover your mammary glands?" Reza openingly stared at her boobs. "Can see them, your nipples are … perked? Are you flaring them? Sabs are smaller, are you helping her in feeding the cubs? I'm not sure how female mammals can produce milk, it's a weird secression. Can I touch? Or if possible can I have a taste like Eztli sometimes does to Sabre in the middle of the night while she and Aleksey are sleeping?
Jackie just heavily sighed. He was going to go on about this the entire time. Jackie stood up and turned around to leave, not watching her footing before she stepped into the water instead of ground. With a startled shout she fell into the water, completely submerged beneath before she righted herself and came back up and rubbed the water from her eyes. Well this was just great, now her only clothes were all wet.
Reza swam over quickly and helped her up, righting her in the water, "are you alright, host? If you want to swim that's not a good way to just flop in. Do most hoomans jump side first into the water like that?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Jackie heavily sighed. She'd have to rinse the clothes out and maybe dry them with the blow dryer for a bit. "I didn't look where I was stepping is all."
"Oh, well, since you are here then you could swim a bit, you probably need the practice because your swimming is too sloppy." Reza encouraged while Baba approached and began swimming around them, thinking the splashing meant food was nearby.
"I swim just fine." Jackie huffed. Baba swam over by Jackie, staring into the shirt that fluttered in the water. Jackie glanced down at it, barely paying it any attention before, with a short burst from its tail, it glided into her shirt and latched down on her breast and the little perky bud on it. Jackie let out a startled scream, jolting back in the water as she looked down at saw Baba trying to munch on the pillowy flesh. "Ew! No!" Jackie shouted, grabbing its tail and popping it off but it slipped out of her fingers and latched back on. "Ew, ew! Get it off!" Jackie cried, panicking as she tried taking it off again but it just slipped right back into her shirt.
"If Baba can suck on it, can I too?" Reza popped it off and tossed Baba to the other side of the pool before he grabbed her boob and just went ahead to squish it and see if it was ok after Baba's advances.
"No! It's fine, don't touch it." Jackie growled as she flailed her way over to the edge. She kicked herself up, crawling out of the water in an attempt to flee.
"Then swim with me." Reza grabbed onto her small pants to help her stay afloat while trying to make her come back in but her pants were pulled down and Reza had a prime view of her rear end and everything in between her legs, his eyes glowing with curiosity.
Jackie loudly gasped, mortified before she fell to her side and yanked her pants back on quickly before standing there with a bright embarrassed flush on her face. She was frozen, staring at Reza's unblinking eyes.
"You do have 2 holes that are separated and even some fur." Reza pointed out, staying there all stunned but with a smile, happy he finally saw everything between her legs and that his curiosity was finally satisfied. "Can I look closer? Maybe touch too?"
Jackie turned and ran away, heading back to her room to wash off her clothes but it was still occupied by the happy couple. Jackie heavily sighed, slumping into the guest bathroom in the hallway before thumping her head against the wall. She was just so done with the day.

Jackie laid on the couch in the living room, swaddled up in a variety of blankets as she silently stared at one of her favorite B rated horror movies. She was so embarrassed of her clothes and everyone's reactions to liking them. All of them seemed weirdly fascinated with her chest. Who cared about that? They were just boobs! Sabre had them too, although smaller. But then again, thinking about it, this was the first time she hadn't worn a bra around them before so she supposed they would notice it. She heavily sighed, planning to just bunker down in her safe little cocoon of blankets before more clothes arrived.
"What that thing on screen?" Aleksey's voice sounded right besides Jackie, making her jump at his sudden silent approach. She craned her head back, unsettled by how easily he snuck up on her without even trying to.
"It uh, it's about lava tarantulas." Jackie answered, slightly muffled in her blanket as she kept herself snug in the blankets. "Lava tarantulas that make burrows out of lava. And eat people." She heavily sighed, trying to get comfortable again.
"Looks very fake. All of it. Lava, tarantulas and dead. When hoomans die they don't go on drama for 'that' long. Less so when they dismembered. Acting bad. Why you watching it?" Aleksey casually asked, more confused by the fact anyone was watching something so poorly made than anything else.
Jackie hesitated slightly, trying to ignore the mention of dismembering people - which Aleksey has probably done before. He was seriously a scary feline. "That's what makes it funny. It has bad acting, stupid plot points and awful CGI." Jackie lovingly smiled, trying to concentrate on the movie again. "It's not scary, it's a comedy." She grinned.
"Ahhh ... I see it then. Humor strange but comprehensible." He scratched his chin.
"I'm glad you can see it too, the others can't." Jackie chuckled, looking around for Sabre. "Where's Sabre?" She asked before looking into the rafters, wondering if Sabre was up there but didn't see her.
"Humor be satirical. Like jokes of Soviet Russia inversion. Like, in hooman movies spiders kill hoomans, in real life, hoomans kill spiders." He chuckled before sighing. "Sabre be in sudden reunion. Being royal very hard."
"Well, more or less. The movie is also making fun of normal horror movie tropes and the bad acting is just making fun of the acting in serious scary movies." Jackie explained excitedly before pausing. Sabre wasn't here? "That means my room is free!" Jackie gasped before moving to get up. Jackie wasn't worried about Sabre being out; she'd be fine. The blankets were too tightly bound, however, and she ended up rolling onto the floor with a small shout. She tried to roll her way to freedom but the blankets tightly held her limbs together. Jackie grunted, spinning around and trying to get free but found herself stuck between the coffee table and the couch. "Crap, hey, Aleksey, help me get out of these blankets." Jackie asked, rolling around and banging into the table.
"Why you cocooned in blankets?" He blinked curiously, approaching but not helping.
"Because it's cold out." Jackie admitted, not wanting to admit that her clothes were still damp from falling into the pool and that was why she wrapped so many blankets around herself.
"It not cold. Temperature still at absurd too hot, but if you want cold as an excuse. I can lower temperature as needed." He smiled, still bothered by not being allowed to get the temperature as cold as he wanted.
"No touching the thermostat. You promised." Jackie said, looking up at him in annoyance. "The reptiles and I would freeze if you did." She huffed, still wiggling in her blankets.
"Then why host so cocooned? Only reason would be to hide something. Too suspicious." Aleksey noted with a raised eyebrow, keen and to the point.
" … I may have fallen into Reza's pool and, being without any change of clothes, I got all the blankets together to keep warm." Jackie mumbled in embarrassment and looked away. "I don't have fur like you all do so I needed to get blankets. Just having them on top wasn't warm enough so I rolled myself up in them to get warm."
The tiger flickered his ears and smiled. "If you want warm then I suggest help from someone. I no cold when Sabre near." He grinned.
"I didn't want to because my clothes are so skimpy. It'd be weird." She huffed with a blush on her cheeks.
"If clothes problem then you remove them. You no mind if charges naked, and charges no mind if you naked." Aleksey cheekily grinned.
"Of course I won't take them off! It's weird being naked since I don't have fur." Jackie frowned, trying to wiggle deeper into the blankets. This conversation was getting awkward. "I hate going commando as it is."
"I no think host knows what commando is, much less what commando missions are. " Aleksey took the chance to poke her.
"Going commando means not wearing a bra or underwear." Jackie said, not feeling the poke because of how many layers were covering her.
"No makes sense." He shrugged.
"I didn't invent it - it's just English slang I guess." Jackie said, trying to retreat her head into the mess of blankets.
"I no heard it before from other english speaker countries. But ... so you naked under or still wearing wet clothes?" The tiger poked her a bit more.
"Still wearing clothes." Jackie huffed.
" … host, why you in blankets?" Jaska asked as he walked into the living room and saw Aleksey crouching by the host and poking her while she tried to roll around but she was stuck.
"I was cold." Jackie's muffled voice spoke from the blankets. "So I kidnapped all the blankets and wrapped myself up a bit. But now I'm stuck; can you help me out?" Jackie asked, trying to wiggle her head back out of the tube of blankets.
"Bratja, host got clothes wet and she cold. Why you no hug her to help warm up?" Aleksey swung his tail and purred, then he grunted and began speaking in Extraspecies language. "You like this hooman? As mate even?"
Jaska's tail curled as he hesitated, speaking back to him in the Extraspecies language. "Da, I want. No tell uncle." Jaska honestly admitted with a nervous frown.
"I no tell uncle, I help make political excuse. If it fails, I sure Sabre will support. Uncle won't kill, he'll be very angry but he won't kill … maybe." Aleksey threw his brother a cheshire smile. "Finding mate good, but you sure you want host? Hooman a problem but not so much as she probably want permanent. You willing to go that far?"
"Da. Other female bastet will have no interest in experimented bastet." Jaska frowned. "New instincts demand permanent mate, so this work well." He said, hesitating before sighing. "Without mate, I fear I go insane with mess of instincts." Jaska said with his jaw trembling slightly in worry.
"Da. I know feeling because I have permanent loving, adorable, smart and perfect mate." Aleksey nodded. "I too desperate while under recovery. I missed mate so much I thought I go insane. If I no learned she alive, I might preferred dead instead. But do be careful, host still terrible hooman that even elite guards fear." Aleksey laughed somewhat.
"She not terrible, just dumb." Jaska laughed.
"Don't make fun of me in your Extraspecies language." Jackie huffed, struggling to flail to freedom but she was very much so stuck.
"Oh?" Aleksey grinned. "Host thinks we making fun of her? Maybe because she cold and trapped in blanket? Maybe she too cold." Aleksey looked at his brother with a mischievous smirk.
"Da, host seem cold, and contract says charges do have some responsibility, so I help." Jaska said, leaning down and hugging the human cocoon.
"W-What? No, just help me out of the blankets," Jackie said, wanting to go claim her room for a bit - and burn the sheets.
"Niet. Can not do. Host so cold if we remove blankets, she could get sick. She no fur to protect self." Aleksey leaned down, securing the blankets in a tight way that would not get loose while Jaska groomed the host's head.
"Jaska come on, no grooming! I washed my hair this morning!" Jackie said, trying to turn her head away while his tongue brushed through her hair. "No, Aleksey no! Don't tie them tighter!" Jackie cried, unable to move her legs and arms now.
"Why not? You cold." Jaska purred before he pulled away and picked her bundled body up, startling her before he tossed her over to Aleksey, making her let out a startled cry to distress as she felt her body flying through the air. Aleksey caught her, lifting her up.
"You so light, host. I think you only one getting smaller while others get fat." Aleksey laughed, tossing her up into the air a bit before tossing her back to Jaska who easily caught her.
"You one who gain more weight." Jaska chuckled at his younger brother who did indeed have some extra weight on him. "You no train because you heal, now you need train because you fat." Jaska laughed, shifting the host onto his shoulder before popping her off and catching her again.
"I no fat. I huggable fluff, but da, I need exercise. Host light, so she serves." Aleksey threw her back at Jaska.
"No! Stop it! Stop throwing me!" Jackie cried, furiously wiggling in the blankets.
"You much soft now. More for Sabre to love, da?" Jaska teasingly laughed, tossing the host back over to Aleksey. "You not huggable fluffy, you huggable patchy fluffy." Jaska laughed. "You want exercise, train with Kroc. He good spar partner - very durable," Jaska laughed.
"Sabre loves even if fur patchy!" Aleksey stopped for a moment, holding the host tighter and even munching on her ear. "Fur will grow back and mate will enjoy muscles under wonderful lushy and bright coat."
"Ack! No!" Jackie tried, shaking her head and rubbing her ear on her shoulder.
Aleksey then tossed her back at Jaska. "You also got weight. I heard host feeds too much."
"Muscle from training." Jaska smirked, tossing Jackie in the air a few times before tossing her back over to Aleksey.
"Host far easier to toss than logs." Aleksey commented. "When we younger we used to play catch with big log and see how big we could toss and catch."
"I always won." Jaska laughed while holding his paws up for another catch.
"No more, no more throwing! What do you want?!" Jackie cried from inside the bundle.
"We merely playful kitties." Aleksey grinned. "Of course, host can help Jaska groom and give pets while watching good movie. Poor bratja's fur seem to need it because he got fat and he so depressed he not care well for fluffy coat."
"Y-Yes, yes! Just put me down!" Jackie cried, "and help me get out of these blankets." Jackie said, slowing her wiggling down.
Jaska laughed, coming over and taking the host from Aleksey before he sat down and sat Jackie on his lap to nuzzle with her. "Much good, host." Jaska grinned, preferring to keep her bundled up for the time being while Aleksey went and put a good movie in for them to watch. The 1965 version of Doctor Shivago, in russian.
"Now come on, help me out of this bundle." Jackie complained, wanting control of her arms back.
"Niet, I no can let host be cold." Jaska teased, hugging the bundle and bumping noses.
"Awww … you even bump noses." Aleksey teased.
"Jaska," Kroc's voice spoke up, making the two felines look back at Kroc. Kroc paused, flickering his gaze between the two of them, unable to tell them apart. "Where host? I need to grab some bandages so I don't tear up the punching back."
"Why no try train to hit light? Sometimes less strength needed, like to knock out but no kill." Aleksey answered, avoiding the question all together.
"Nah mate, hitting hard is better." Kroc grinned. "You don't start a fight unless you intend to wound."
"Then why no try hitting ground outside? That no breaks and is harder for training." Jaska added while holding onto his precious hsot bundle.
"I'm right here!" Jackie called out in annoyance as she struggled to pop her head out.
"There?" Kroc asked, blinking in confusion before he came over and peaked into the open end of the blankets rolled up in Jaska's arms. "Now what are you doing in there, sheila?" Kroc asked.
" … Jaska and Aleksey trapped me in the blankets." Jackie explained, which wasn't an entire lie.
Kroc stared into the hole's opening for a brief moment before looking over to the two felines expecting a better explanation.
"She said she cold. We no trapped, she trapped herself and we help." Aleksey clarified.
"Hm." Kroc said, continuing to stare before he reached in and pulled the ties loose. "If that's all, there's no need to take away her movement. If you're cold, sheila, you can take a nap under the heat lamp. I'll keep the cats away." Kroc chuckled before yanking up on one end of the blankets and making it quickly unravel. Kroc leaned in, grabbing another handful and yanking up before Jackie fell right out of the blankets. Kroc jolted his head back, snagging Jackie's shirt by mistake before Jackie dizzily tumbled right onto Jaska's lap. She was sprawled out, startled as Jaska looked down right to her bare breasts.
"Ah?" Kroc spoke, flicking his head back and seeing the sheila's shirt caught in his teeth while he too stared at her. It was a very rare occurrence to see the host, or most hoomans at that, without clothes on. It was so rare in fact that Kroc stared as well as Jaska did without saying anything.
"Looks like she has a pair of balloons up front. " Aleksey commented. He definitely liked his mate's more lovely breasts.
Jackie's head shot down, startled before she quickly covered herself and instinctively turned against Jaska to hide herself. "K-Kroc, really?! Again?" Jackie shouted, looking back and seeing Kroc jolt a bit.
"Sorry, sheila." Kroc said, reaching up and being very gently as he tried to carefully remove the shirt. "Hey, cat, help me take the shirt off without ripping it." Kroc asked, leaning over towards Aleksey as he opened his jaws.
Jaska smiled hungrily and pleased, eyeing Jackie. "No mind bratja. You look fine for a hooman, host."
Jackie did not respond and only hid her face against his shoulder, too embarrassed to make a retort towards the tiger. Jaska grinned, wrapping his arms around Jackie's back and hugging her tightly with a purr while Aleksey very, very slowly helped Kroc take the shirt out of his teeth.
"This shirt very stuck. It rip if not careful." Aleksey said, trying not to laugh. "Let take to room, hm? I try to dislodge there with tool. Fabric delicate and it only clothes host has, so better be careful." Aleksey suggested before walking off towards Jaska's room. "Hold fabric, no move head. Be very careful." Jaska said as Kroc held completely still and very slowly followed over him as Jackie watched her shirt be taken away. Jackie looked back, staring at the blankets and trying to decide how to reach them without letting Jaska see anything more but it was impossible.
"Jaska, can you grab one of the blankets for me?" Jackie asked, trying to back up but he held her tight.
"Host … Jackie? You too many scars on back." Jaska pointed out, hugging her.
"Yeah? And?" Jackie asked, looking up at him. "Have you not seen them before?" Jackie asked, puzzled before thinking about it. Kroc was the only one who saw her bare back before. The others probably had no idea.
"I know reason why you have but I no seen it so bad. So many scars normal mean too many battles. Yours different. You fine?" Jaska carefully patted her back.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's been a while." Jackie sighed, jolting slightly as he touched her bare back. "It happened years ago so it's fine." She frowned.
"Yet you jump from mere touch." The tiger kept on his soft moves.
"It's just a reaction. I usually keep my torso covered so there's always a cloth in the way of someone's hand." Jackie admitted with a nervous frown.
"Then hush and calm. Let's watch movie."
"Once I get a blanket to cover myself." Jackie said, still eyeing the blankets.
"Host." Jaska suddenly became serious, his ears flickered nervously and the tip of his tail began curling and uncurling. "About contract. I want discuss." He started before his ear flickered.
"SO MANY BEAUTIFUL SCARS-!" Reza cried with a gasp, making both Jaska and Jackie whip their heads around to see Reza hoisting himself out of the tube entrance in the living room. "There's so many! Host, host give me the details. How did you get all of those?" Reza asked, crawling into the room and getting up close before touching Jackie's bare back and making her jolt from his cold touch. "You have to have so many delicious stories-!" He cried with his eyes crazily shining. "Tell me all of them, I want all the details!" He eagerly begged.
"Go away, fish!"Jaska growled, kicking Reza away. Not only had he been interrupted in a perfect moment, but the fish's obsession with tragedy could make this worse, and given how Reza had not even dodged, then the fish was surely too out of it already.
Attracted by the commotion Kroc stepped into the living room with the shirt still stuck on his teeth. He walked over to Reza's side before grabbing him, making Reza jolt before Kroc threw him back into the tank and locked the entrance. Reza raced off down the tubes, heading for the kitchen before Kroc quickly closed them off and ran to Reza's room to lock the doors to keep Reza away until he's calmed down from his excitement.
"What's going on now?" Dumisa huffed in annoyance, coming out of his room with a distasteful glare around the room before spotting Jackie in Jaska's arms. Before he spoke up his paused, staring at her bare back. "You have an awful lot of scars, host." Dumisa noted, surprised. "And on the back too. They look like the scars of a cowardly lamia." He said without thinking as he leaned in, getting a better look at them before remembering her mother.
"Dumisa, come on, knock it off." Jackie asked, looking away rather sheepishly. Well, this was a bit humiliating. She really didn't want anyone to look at her scars since they would want to know what happened.
"Stop snake. Host no like stare." Jaska said while hugging her better to half cover her back with his arms.
"What's going on?" Eztli curiously asked from up in the rafters before he saw the host's naked back. "Yay! Host, are you getting naked too?" Eztli eagerly asked, hopping down before looking up at her and pausing. He blinked, examining her marked up back. "Hey, host … that's a lot of past marks on you." Eztli said with his ears pulled down. He hopped closer, kneeling behind her and holding her sides still. "Do they still hurt?" He asked, looking up at her with innocent eyes.
"N-No, they don't." Jackie said, jolting as Eztli leaned in and gently began grooming her with his tongue to help her feel better.
Jaska half rolled, letting the host fall a bit between him and the sofa so she could hide better as he kept on hugging her to hide the scars.
"Jaska, what are you doing?" Eztli asked with his tongue still half sticking out. "I was grooming her to make her feel better."
"I accommodating to see movie. Host wants to see movie and rest." Jaska grunted, trying to think on a way to at least keep the host with him for the moment given than taking her to his den was unlikely now with everyone around.
At that moment, the T.V. turned on and a crappy movie began playing. The one holding the remote was Aleksey. "Da. Host said she likes bad movies, so we see bad movies tonight."
"Awe … novelas (soap operas) are better." Eztli laughed, hopping on top of Jaska and lying on top of him with a purring smile.
"Here, host." Aleksey said, reaching up to Kroc's jaw and freeing the garment before walking over to Jackie. She grabbed the shirt and turned towards the couch underneath Jaska, managing to slip it on before huffing and trying to get up. Jaska grabbed her, stopping her from leaving before laying on top of her and nuzzling her.
"Cuddle, host." Jaska chuffed, not sure if it had sounded more as a demand or as a request but either ways, he cuddled her, rolling oh so lightly to let Eztli drop to the floor.
Jackie heavily sighed but allowed it as she gently pet it head. "Just don't crush me." She noted, rubbing his ears between her finger tips.
"I careful with host." He said and licked her head with a slight pur, accommodating better while holding onto the host that was half buried between him and the sofa and half leaning over his chest.
"Hey … has anyone seen Sabs? She would normally be here for the petting." Kroc mentioned, looking around as if expecting the female feline to appear randomly before looking up to the rafters above. For a second he thought that the plants there moved.
"She is away on royal business." Aleksey shrugged, tired from taking care of the kittens all day and just laying down for the moment.
"Yes, she is in a very super secret and super important meeting with very super secret and super important other Extraspecies from all over the world." Reza proudly grinned. "I'm so glad she didn't need an escort, meetings like that are dreadfully boring." He sighed rather carelessly, playing with the kittens and trying to move back into the water but Kroc's look prevented him from doing more.
"That sounds stressful." Jackie admitted, having a feeling she'd be petting Sabre later to help calm her down.

Peeko: This revision took FOREVER! OwO Let us know what you think of the changes, whether you like it or hate it - we would love to know your feedback now that we've gone back and edited and fixed up the arc which was a little rushed to begin with. We apologize for the confusion but once it was out, we were both going insane from how we had written it and made the very painful decision to go back and very carefully and meticulously add scenes, take out or add ideas, mix ideas together, split chapters and so much more. The ordeal has left me exhausted XD but it was fun and needed. I hope you like the changes, and if not, let us know what you don't like - your opinions matter and I love reading the comments … even if I get fired up from flamers XD 10 REVIEWS for the next chapter, like usual! Love ya, chickadees!
Chaos-Dark-lord: It did, but it was really needed. And the arc it's finally done.. FINALLY! We hope we had conveyed far more not only on the main story, but also about the world and all that has been happening in the background all along. We had to go and recheck all of our lore and research a lot about stuff like politics, arts, biology and a bunch of stuff … even though sometimes we barely made a side comment on it XD If you have any doubts or suggestions or if something seems unclear, please tell us :3
Can you imagine the bird Extraspecies with beaks or more human-like faces?
Peeko: … Chaos, I have some bad news. I really don't think they're going to give us 10 reviews for each chapter. We'll probably get 3 at best xD usually we hold the next chapter as hostage but now they need to review out of the kindness of their hearts? I highly doubt they will XD
Chaos-Dark-lord: Well, that will only give us far more time to work on the next chap
(This conversation was real btw, and Chaos decided to add it in at the end of the chapter X3)
(In fact Peeko wrote and I responded and we decided to keep it...so yeah, its real. So after reviewing you can read the our other stories while we get the new chap out)
.
.
ALSO (WE ARE REPEATING THIS BIT OF INFO):
Of our co-works, we will be focusing too on other 2 stories mostly, so you can check those while we upload the new chapter of the next one (we will be rotating between them and this) . The stories are:
'A-Theist'
It's in Chaos-dark-lord account, and the premise is that a hardcore atheist is brought to the realm of the gods to teach them about hoomans, but of course she is a rational atheist with lots of science knowledge and practical views.
'Duty of the red hood'
It's in Peekodeemeko12 account and it's our take on the redhood story, monster hunting, human nature, werewolves, vampires and other such creatures.
