Chapter 61: Hakuna Matata

Willow's serious business. She's also serious about business.

"How do you mean, no?!"

Sienna's indignant voice was loud in her rather busy office, as Ghira crossed his arms, looking seriously at her with an expression that made him look like Sienna's dad or something, as Sienna's narrowed eyes looked at him with venom.

"No. I won't do it. Kali isn't a fighter. We won't fight."

Tradition was being spat on! Sienna got up from her seat, as Kali laid a hand on her husband's arm, smiling at her.

"He's a human, Sienna. The laws don't apply to humanity, do they? It's nice to know that he's in the top ranking, but he's not subject to them, right?"

Sienna and Ghira both looked at Kali as if she'd said something radical, as Ghira spoke up.

"No, he is, but I'm trying to protect you. You might get hurt."

Kali smiled at her husband and then sat down on the chair that'd been provided.

"I'm not too knowledgeable about the law… Do you have the book of laws, Sienna?"

Sienna did, of course. After pulling the large book out of the chest it was traditionally kept in, she handed it to Kali with the reverence that it demanded, watching as Kali opened it up and started to read through it. It had only been written up a few decades ago, more of an inheritance than an actual 'Faunus Law Book', though it was called the book of laws.

"He's a human, Sienna. You went over the difficulties with his family, didn't you?"

There hadn't been enough time for that, and Sienna realized that she might need to make more of an apology to the family than she'd hoped. With how things had spiraled out of her control, there was no time for her to properly initiate his bed to Sienna Khan's presence, only a very quick encounter that had left her gasping and groaning.

"I'll… I may not have been fully respectful to their family. I tried to sleep with them, as is our custom."

There were other customs, but it was embarrassing to admit that she'd been mistaught or not fully informed. She had not expected that she'd fall for a human, nor had she expected that he'd be related to Saphocles and her wife… That had been a bit of a shock.

"That's year four material… Sienna, you graduated, didn't you?"

She had… but she might not fully have graduated on the merits of her knowledge, but rather on the merits of her strength. She knew that there were undoubtedly going to be questions asked, but knowing that Ghira was someone who only wanted exemplary performance from his successor, it was hard to speak up about it.

"Eh, I may have… been a bit lax about my studies."

Humans weren't open to such things. Kali looked up.

"It's perfectly fine to sleep with them, of course! If they look good, they look good. You're a good girl, they'll love you!"

'What?'

Ghira looked at his wife in surprise, clearly not quite certain of what his wife had just said. To Sienna, it made more sense than what Eve had said.

"No, humans don't sleep with their family! Who taught you?!"

Kali blinked, licking her lips slowly.

"Nana Bali, of course. When she matched us, she said that there was much to learn."

Sienna saw Ghira's expression change just a little, his fingers clawing through his beard, as he sighed and groaned.

"I knew that formalized education would be needed, I just didn't… ugh."

Sienna saw little problem with that, as long as children were being taught that there was a pecking order, that you should always be careful with yourself and your family, and to love your family like you loved yourself.

'Perhaps bringing them more meat… It's good for love.'

Protein was good for exercise, she knew. She heard Ghira grumble something under his breath, but her eyes didn't see the man change much, whilst Kali was thumbing through the book of laws.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter right now. You will be marrying him, right?"

Sienna definitely was thinking about that, probably after they'd had some more sex. She didn't know where she'd get a ring from, but she'd improvise something.

"I will. Willow has also had proper respect given."

The woman was needy when it came to her lower body, with Sienna having felt a small shudder when she'd done her duties orally, since two women didn't have the required parts, and Willow had wanted to keep herself for their man.

It was just logical to work a man to such a state that he'd make the two of them mothers, even if Willow might have a harder time conceiving.

"Good, that means that the SDC and the White Fang are at peace… given a few amendments. Shall we meet with her today then?"

There was of course that to consider, but there were other issues that needed to be tackled before, mainly with the Vytal Festival's propaganda reels. There would need to be a few fresh recruits, and Jaune Arc could endorse the White Fang, when they went public.

'The melee can be televised, so everyone knows that the High Leader and the Chieftain and his wife went up against a human… We'll have to keep things a little easier for him since he isn't as good as a Faunus, but…'

"Ah, Ghira? When it says 'Challenge', I can't read what it says, the ink is smudged… Does it say 'Death to all disbelievers' on this paragraph?"

The man bent over the book, and then read it for his wife, the man's glasses on his nose, as Kali gave a happy little sound.

"That's my man, always helpful."

The man purred a little, his wife's compliment giving him enough of that load of positivity that made him do that. Sienna purred when she felt good, something that was more feline than she'd let be heard in the public, as she knew that there would be some changes made…

"I'll get us to Willow in the morning. She'll understand what we need to do."

She hoped that her friend was at least more capable of reining in Kali's oddball thoughts, as the Faunus woman smiled sweetly, her expression lightening up as she seemed to continue reading.

"Thank you, husband."

The man smiled and kissed her, Sienna feeling a stab of jealousy go through her, knowing that she could feel that same level of affection when Jaune was with her, but there was, of course, the fact that she was the leader of a massive organization, and that the fight would be brutal with Ghira and Kali in attendance, because weakness didn't need to be shown in front of an audience.

She mentally went over several of the venues, hoping that there would be some kind of way to deal with this, but she guessed that it wouldn't be something to bother with when she had to arrange for official broadcasting and the like. It would be something of a hallmark of Faunus culture, to show that a human and the leadership of the Faunus could battle for dominance.

"We'll have to arrange for something to at least give Jaune a fighting chance."

If he won, she could be 'the partner of' rather than 'the High Leader'. It was a lot more unfortunate if she won, because then Jaune would need to challenge her again later. She could be the High Leader and someone's partner at the same time, only if Jaune proved to be superior… There was a leeway clause in the official rules for a Pogrom, added at the end of the Revolution or sometime after, since humanity had given them Menagerie.

'it's going to be messy…'

She knew that it would be, knowing that humanity was something that would always rise up against the fighting forces of the Faunus if there was no equilibrium. People were still being marginalized and oppressed, and there was the burden that rested on her back to preserve their culture and advance their status.

"I can fight with one arm behind my back. You know my style, Sienna. He would be crushed."

Kali made a 'phooey' sound, as she looked up.

"He doesn't need to be crushed, Ghira! Sienna loves him, so there'll be no crushing done!"

She turned her attention back to the book of laws, her face looking a little more serious as she read the laws on stuff. It probably was for the best, because Sienna didn't recall Kali ever having been formally challenged to a duel for the man she married… for some reason.

"He won't be crushed, Kali… We'll figure something out."

There would be some solution offered, Sienna knew. It wouldn't be a good thing if Jaune decided that he'd want nothing more to do with the Faunus species… Eve would probably beat her up too, if she'd heard.

The sister of Adam Taurus still held some views that were definitely at odds with tradition, but she was still an able combatant in the fight, able to spar with Sienna if it came down to it. Not fully up to scratch, but a serious contender, if she'd poisoned Sienna beforehand.

"Ah, Ghira? Could you tell me what this means in eh, clear language?"

Kali didn't really have the education to get some of the more legalese words, as her husband had been the one who had been involved in the organization. Kali was more of a house-mom compared to her husband.

"Ah, this part is about the official dress code of the combatants. It says 'All fighters must be-'"

The man's explanation cleared some things up for Sienna though. She'd never really read the thing, the language was just so dull and dry that it made her work with the quicknotes version. Tradition dictated pogrom, the hierarchy and ranking of the Prime, and that was about it.

Sienna didn't need much more.

"Chieftain Belladonna, Miss Belladonna, High Leader Khan, a pleasure to see you."

Willow's attention was directed to the man who dominated the seat opposite of her, the restaurant that they'd picked for their meeting upscale and fully furnished, Kali already looking at the menu as she worried about what to eat, Jaune having been a topic that had been slated to appear on the discussion, as Sable Arc stood attentively at her side, picture-perfect as a personal aide, dressed up to look as functional as it should be.

"A pleasure, Willow. Don't be shy now, we're all friends here!"

Kali decided to shed decorum, as Ghira gave a low groan and Sienna looked like she was pleasantly irritated. The large bottle of Valean Vodka that she'd managed to scrounge for Sienna was enough for her to pass dinner and had been wrapped as a gift for the High Leader of the White Fang, Willow supposed at least, as she saw the large man shift a little in his seat, his attention going to her attendant.

"That shall be the case, yes… I wish to negotiate several deals that would see humanity be drawn closer to our Faunus brethren."

There was the fact that her man was in a relationship with Sienna. She could see Kali pull something out of a pocket, a vial of a turquoise liquid set on the table. Willow didn't really know what it was, but the glass looked to have been blown by someone who knew the art of glassblowing, the liquid within giving a little shimmer.

"This is an extract from a Menagerian plant. It's great if you want to give your man a very happy night. Ghira loves it when I just get myself ready and-"

The man did not blush, to his credit, as Willow took the vial and put it to the side, there probably being less liquid in the vial than a bottle of Chez Schnee perfume, as Kali continued with her narrative.

"sure to rub it all over him. Oh, only the shaft, it eh, it glows in the dark if it's dark. Very handy! The lamps sometimes fail, so it's lucky that you can see what you're working with, even in a dark room! Oh, it does make his essence glow a little too. That got- a little embarrassing."

Willow tucked the vial somewhere tight, as Kali smiled cheekily, as Sienna spoke up.

"Well, that aside, they have brought you a gift, worked by the woodcraftsmen of Menagerie."

Sienna had gotten up, getting someone to roll the gift in, Willow watching mutedly as the woodcarving was rolled in by several men, looking like a fine and elegant craftsmanship with the curve of the wood properly done to show the grand seal of Menagerie, the symbol of the White Fang worked into the wood in a few rough cuttings, as it should, adding to the grand seal of the Faunus people.

The woodcarving could be hung on the wall, as it detailed the beginnings of the Faunus in their bondage, and the Great War's subsequent abolition of their slavery, founding their nation and then the Revolution. Willow looked slightly bemused as Sienna coughed as Kali leaned over and whispered something in her ear.

"I will receive this gift. I do hope that I do not receive a koteka of some sort."

Ghira and Kali and Sienna had different reactions, Ghira looking up to the ceiling and sighing deeply, Kali's amusement clearly something that showed, whilst Sienna looked offended.

"You're not a man, nor is it the traditional feast day! It's also too cool here to have someone wear it, do you want their balls to shrivel?!"

Sienna halted for a moment, counting to ten mentally, or so Willow guessed.

"Well… it is customary for those high-ranked to wear them, if they are men."

Sienna's expression turned thunderous, as Ghira looked at his wife with a frown before he spoke up.

"Jaune Arc will not be wearing a koteka, Kali. They are fragile."

Willow chanced a look at Sable Arc, who looked mystified. She remembered her education on Faunus culture, and several of their rather peculiar habits. Aside from having the martial traditions, there was a ritualistic element.

"Ahh, a koteka is a penis sheath, typically worn by men who are high in status, fashioned from horn or ceramic. Your brother is… pretty well-respected by the Faunus community."

If Kali had a tail, she'd be wagging it, as her lips parted and a catty smile appeared on her face.

"You're related to Jaune? Oh, what joy! He's such a good boy, don't you agree?"

Sable Arc did not expect to be quizzed on her brother, forcing the smile a little as she shifted in her suit a little.

"He's my brother, so I am proud of him, Mrs Belladonna."

The polite way of speaking did suit her, Willow mused, as Kali immediately launched into a slew of questions whilst her husband rubbed the bridge of his nose. Sienna looked a little bothered by things.

"Ooh, how does he like his meat? I think that it's best left seared on one side and then raw, so you have this great little crunchy bite and then the juices just- I must give your mother the recipe when we visit, dear. Every good Faunus knows well that there is just something delightful about a well-grilled piece of meat, unless they are vegetarian. I've got something for that too!"

Kali was the consummate housewife, as Willow saw Sable Arc turn a little green-faced.

"We aren't- after the Diren de Rou, we have been a little bit wary of cooked Faunus dishes."

Ghira and Sienna crossed their arms simultaneously.

"It was our duty. Those who shame the people lose their rights, Miss Arc. We are not savage animals who would abandon our partner with whom we have created a new little life, nor are we someone who interferes with the grand game for the Prime. The fittest survive, the weak ones die. Sienna, you properly deboned the meat, right?"

Willow took a moment to breathe in deeply, trying to not see Sienna as some kind of murderous tiger-woman, taking a little time to see Sable Arc's response, as Ghira and Sienna both looked very 'official'.

"Of course! It was screaming, but I made sure that the meat was nice and tender before! Animals don't have rights! They lose that right when they commit crimes against the people. As the High Leader, we are chosen to enact justice."

Willow couldn't say that she really approved of that kind of cuisine, interjecting.

"I would prefer not to eat Faunus, Sienna."

She was given three different gazes, Sienna looking exasperated, Ghira much more temperate and Kali's quite amusedly.

"Oh no, my little Khan will not be serving you Diren de Rou, you- ahh, it makes me feel young again to think about how I got together with my Ghira."

The woman affectionately rubbed over her husband's arm, the man turning a little red as his wife tickled him under the chin.

"Your late husband was properly seared by nature's wrath, so things are now at a modest peace between us, Lady Schnee."

The words were formal, Chieftain Belladonna speaking, rather than Ghira Belladonna, as his wife kept silent, rubbing over her husband's arm.

"I will assume that you will be amenable to cooperating with the White Fang in order to ensure that the Human-Faunus cooperation will go swimmingly? Perhaps we should plan the official Húnzhán for afterwards…"

The… whatever that was, might be better held before the matches, though Willow had no idea what that was. Faunus were stingy with explaining their culture, expecting humans to know what was what, but Willow hadn't quite remembered what that term was. She knew more than most, but other than that…

"That's the challenge for the top seat. It… ah, it's when it's public. Sienna won hers privately, my Ghira decided to be extra active in the early morning and pulled a muscle, and… ahh, Sienna dear, you won legitimately. I just accidentally-eh... dropped- well, that's- I slipped."

Sienna looked like she wanted to have some objections be voiced loudly, her expression thunderous and dark, clearly not liking what she was hearing. It was the sweet little rumble of Sienna's throat that made her sound predatory, as she nearly seemed to roar.

"He wasn't in fighting form? What kind of things do you do at night to- No, no, I don't want to hear it! It was bad enough to know that Blake needed to sleep with us when we were-"

There was a strangled sound from Sienna as Kali reached out and grabbed her by a specific point on the neck, Sienna stiffening up a little before she batted at Kali, who smiled.

"Now… A husband and wife need to be happy. You're entitled to your own pleasure, Sienna."

Sienna looked like she'd have a few words about that, as she looked particularly fierce, Willow smiling a little.

"As long as you don't make a mess in my living room, we'll let you stay as the house pet, Sienna. I am however informing you that no such tomfoolery will be permitted with my children who are in a relationship. I will be… quite upset with you if you were to involve my son in some kind of Faunus mating ritual."

Willow had standards, and involving Whitley in some kind of wild Faunus ritual where there'd be more participants than one's partner would not be right! Her son was someone who required some oversight by his mother, even though miss Rose seemed to have perfect manners.

"Fine, fine… It's not like I won't be a part of your family too when things go well with Jaune."

Willow saw how Sable Arc seemed to flinch, and she resolved herself to make sure that Jaune would not be walking very swiftly after she'd had her fingers on him.

"Of course, of course. Miss Arc here will be exemplary in her conduct as well. I trust that you can at least ensure that you are fully dressed, Miss Khan? I can fetch a custom-made collar for you, should you require a little bit of a sign of ownership."

Sienna bristled.

"I'm not some house-cat! WE DO NOT HAVE COLLARS AS WEDDING RINGS!"

Willow knew that, but a bit of goodnatured ribbing never harmed a soul, as she shifted a little in her posture.

"You solicited Jaune Arc's family, Sienna… You're a crude woman, prone to anger and violence… What is a woman like me supposed to think when-"

Sienna got up and hissed, baring her teeth at Willow, as Kali jerked her back down.

"Chicken wings are coming. Be quiet. Sit."

Like a meek kitten, Sienna sat down, clearly not taking this further, as the staff came to take their orders. Willow motioned for Sable to sit down at the seat next to her, unusual for a personal attendant, but not unusual for her. She had ordered with the automatic assumption that it'd be her husband accompanying her, the routine too practiced for her to admit her embarrassment at having messed up.

"It'll be such fun, Sienna… She's adorable, don't you think, Willow? When she's trying to hide her feelings, she usually gets all aggressive, but if you know how to handle her, she's like a little kitten. Even my Ghira responds well to a bit of affection."

The man looked embarrassed at the words from his wife, as he looked away, clearly not feeling the best about such open statements from the woman, who had already determined that there would be no problem with Sienna becoming some member of the family.

"Do you like working for Willow, Sable?"

The Arc sister that Willow had as her personal assistant nodded, like a good corporate executive would be performing, a smile on her lips.

"The Schnee Dust Company has a lot of business opportunities for the Faunus, with the recent lifting of sanctions, and I am sure that we can give Menagerie a good deal after the Vytal Festival Cooperation Agreement is concluded."

Willow didn't fault the young woman for thinking that the wife of the Chieftain of Menagerie would talk business, Kali offering a soft laugh.

"No, no, I am asking whether you like working for our Atlesian beauty… She's quite a woman, even before her husband suffered such an unfortunate accident. Drove my Ghira wild, with her manners and business acumen… Do you like working for her, Sable?'

The personal name and the fact that this was the wife of one of the world's VIP's definitely made Sable Arc raise her shields more for defensive purposes, taking a deep breath and then steadying herself a little.

"It is a very nice salary, I am working to help my family out, Ma'am."

The polite formality made Kali pout, as Sable looked nervous and uncertain.

"Oh, don't you worry about that stuff. Just call me Kali and call him Ghira… You already know Sienna, of course, you can consider us your family! Sienna loves to get a bit of special vodka when she's antsy, so just call me Auntie Kali and- oh, don't be shy."

Sable Arc looked like she wasn't 'shy' about anything, Kali given a seriously disturbed look, as Sable Arc took a deep breath.

"Some professional distance would be appreciated, Ma'am. I'm just the personal assistant to Willow Schnee, it would be-"

Kali had somehow managed to shift her seat to the side of Sable and was rubbing her fingers over the skin, cooing about how nice and soft it was, whilst Ghira facepalmed.

'Well, it's good to know that Sable is decent at deflecting the wife.'

"You simply must eat some chicken wings… ooh, they're nice and tasty, your brother loved it when he was-"

Sienna and Ghira stiffened, Willow wondering briefly whether there was something to the story that she didn't quite know. Jaune hadn't really told her much about meeting the Belladonnas, as Ghira cleared his throat.

"Kali, please stop trying to get the girl into your lap and grooming her… She's not a Faunus and you're doing it again."

Kali pouted. Willow thought it was somewhat adorable.

"There'll be no munchies for you tonight, Ghira… Hmm, don't worry dear, let him be the man whilst we- ooh, have you ever worn Menagerian jewelry? There are a few people I could introduce you to, they do wonderful custom work. Sienna's official seal was worked by several of the goldsmiths, it's known to every Faunus, and there are different things you can have made to show your affection for your romantic partner! Ghira still wears his… Oh, don't be pouty, my big man! I love you, you can be sure of that."

Willow wasn't sure whether she should inquire about what the woman was referring to, as Ghira Belladonna turned redder as his wife poked him, lifting one of the chicken wings and then pushing it to her husband's mouth, who bit into it, obviously allowing her to feed him.

"My brother isn't someone who really is…"

Willow was interested in what Sable was going to say, as Sienna snorted.

"He needs to be more aggressive. He needs to know that he's strong. He's still under the impression that he's not a good man, which is ludicrous. Do you think that he'd like me wearing a dress?"

Kali seemed to have this mysterious smile on her lips, her husband shifting a little as his wife fed him, Willow yearning briefly for a moment where she could do the same to her loving husband. It was an idle flight of fancy, but being with Jaune would make her feel cherished.

"He's stupid, he'd probably like you wearing anything. He hasn't worn a dress since my sister dressed him in one, but he used to have this girly figure, if you must know."

Kali and Sienna perked up a little at Sable mentioning that Jaune used to wear a dress, as Ghira nearly choked on a chicken bone, Kali pushing it into her husband's mouth.

"Perhaps a traditional dress would be nice, Sienna… it has been a while since you last graced Menagerie with your presence, hasn't it?"

Sienna looked uncomfortable, as Kali asked that question, Ghira still choking on the chicken bone that his wife was forcing into his mouth, a smile that was catty and canny on the cat Faunus woman's face.

"There's no need for that, Kali. I'm not wearing the traditional attire- I mean, I'm still the High Leader. Official clothing is required."

Willow would have to do research on what the traditional dress of Menagerie was, but going by Sienna's reluctance to wear it, it would undoubtedly be something embarrassing. Something that would have no place on Willow Schnee's wedding day, as she'd already decided on the Atlesian style of wedding, with a fashionable view over Atlas, and another wedding in Vale.

It was important to stimulate the economy, after all. She was rich, so she could afford some lavish spending. It wasn't like the people didn't need Dust to power their vehicles, of course.

"He's not- we're not!"

The spluttering that Sienna did was adorable, Willow admitted to herself, as she sighed softly at the thought of seeing Sienna in some kind of tribal dress, nibbling lightly on the well-grilled beef that'd been prepared for her by the cooks of this place.

"Sure you're not… Ah, Ghira, are you alright?"

The man looked a little pale and sweaty, breathing heavily, a large glass of water emptied, as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"You nearly choked me, I'm- Hah."

The man could look pretty pleasing to the eye if she had any eye for married men, but since her own man was cute in his own way, Ghira Belladonna would have to receive the mere observant glance, as Kali busied herself with cleaning her man up a little. It was a small feeling of doubt that shot through her, knowing that there was enough to bother with in her personal life without wanting to be a caretaker for a silly young man who clearly needed love… more love than Sienna could give.

"We should discuss business, Chieftain Belladonna, High Leader Khan."

She'd be formal now, she supposed.

That was the least she could do to save the man from asphyxiation through his wife's actions. Kali was eyeing the chicken wings.

Jaune Arc was not unused to the sight of strange people coming into his bedroom or his sleeping quarters, seeing how the door swung open and Eve appeared, dressed in one of Salmon's tops of which the logo was very familiar, and it was a size or two too small on Eve's prodigious chest, a fact that wasn't hidden by the cleavage. The underwear that she wore was also something that looked familiar, but definitely didn't belong to any of his sisters, not even the 'private collection' that they obviously always forgot about washing.

He'd been well-trained in the art of house husbandry, so he knew these things, as Eve sat herself down on the bed, as he continued to do his leg exercises, getting back the feeling in them. It had been a minor miracle that he'd been able to walk this quickly, but it was still somewhat tough to run.

"I'm making sure that you're mine."

The words were very short and curt, straight to the point as she grabbed a hold of his head and then forced a kiss on him, Jaune feeling like a maiden whose lips were claimed, feeling her arms wrap around him and holding him, as her tongue snaked into his mouth, Eve kissing him with full force, as she pressed herself against him.

She broke the kiss, looking into his eyes for a moment, panting heavily, her tongue licking over her lips.

"You're going to be mine."

The commanding tone of voice, the craving and neediness within that voice, as Jaune wondered what the hell had suddenly gone wrong with the cow Faunus, as he watched how Eve tore at his shirt, the sound of the fabric straining enough, as he grabbed her hand and then pulled it away, Terra appearing in the door opening.

"Damn it, Eve! She forgot how you reacted to that! Get off my brother-in-law!"

Eve was halfway to ripping his shirt to shreds, as he could see her eyes fogged and unclear, her body trembling a little with every breath she took, her tension clearly showing through her actions, as Jaune felt his pants suddenly slide down, as Eve groped his groin.

"Don't fucking take him from me, you- you!"

Terra grabbed Eve under the armpits and dragged her away.

"Sorry, I forgot that some Faunus get into a crazy state when they smell a certain smell or eat a certain food. It's not that bad, but… but it's definitely something that you should- Come on, Eve, no trying to fuck my brother-in-law, even if-"

Terra looked at him. Jaune didn't know whether the fear of getting assaulted by a sexy cow Faunus woman had given him an erection, but there was an erection currently rising in his underwear, Eve groaning, trying to tug herself loose.

"I swear, you're going to have issues, with-"

Terra was silenced by Eve's mouth, as Eve's tongue invaded her oral cavity, Terra's expression changing very little, as Jaune had a sudden case of the erectile function. It was hot seeing two girls kiss, especially one who'd kissed him before. Sienna had been hot, yesterday, but this was hot too. Thinking about how Eve wanted him, he could only get that feeling of 'damn, that's hot.', his erection the natural side-effect of that thought. It wasn't going down anytime soon, sadly.

"Terra!"

Saphron's voice was shocked, as she appeared, Jaune watching how his sister stared at Terra being face-smooched by Eve, who seemed to be flushed and in need, Jaune wondering briefly whether this was a home comedy, or just something of a tragedy.

"I forgot about that thing… Ugh, Jaune, you can look away now, this is just a biological thing… I knew I shouldn't have brought anything, but nooo… Come on, Terra… Let's get her to the bedroom and get her stripped. If she doesn't take care of things, she'll be frustrated and do bad things to the other. Vivian shouldn't have… ugh, that woman doesn't know stuff."

The casualness with how Saphron treated making out with Eve was something that Jaune supposed could be due to her career, as Eve's mouth pulled from Terra's.

"Saphocles, I'm going to make love to your little pottery shard."

There was a pause, as Eve definitely wasn't making much sense, Saphron giving a laborious sigh.

"Tis not by my hand that I was once more given flesh… Cows… A miserable pile of meat."

A gesture with her hand, as if she were some kind of noblewoman casting her decision upon the one who had offended her, Eve giving a soft hiss at her.

"Can we not have a porno starting here, please?"

He added, and the three women looked at him, Saphron actually amused, Terra not so amused, and Eve's breasts bouncing a little, the shirt gone. He hoped that Salmon wouldn't mind, as he caught sight of Eve getting ready to pounce on him.

"Oh no, you don't! Damn it, sorry Jaune. She's a handful when she's had her little- well, I'll tell you about that later. Faunus react like a cat with catnip sometimes…"

He didn't deny that.

"Shut up, you don't know what the hell you're talking about! Fuck… fuck, you don't know what it's like! I'm lactating, damn you!"

Eve was pulled out of his room by Saphron and Terra, Vivian peering into him, as Jaune realized that there'd been wet spots on his shirt.

'Oh…kaayyyy…'

Eve definitely was into him. This wasn't much in the way of 'this feels good.'

He wanted to remain loyal to his girlfriend and Willow.

"Sorry about that. I fed her some of the stuff I got from Mistral when I went there on a mission from the board as an escort for some merchants, I didn't know she'd respond to it like that."

Vivian mentioned, and Jaune sighed.

"It's okay… You'd be surprised with how common it seems to be to have women coming at me."

Vivian's expression definitely looked like it was pitiful.

"Well, I'd better go and help out… It's my fault, so I get to go cow-wrestling…"

That sounded like it was a problem. It wasn't a problem to him though. He remembered that he had an erection when Vivian looked down at him and gave a crude grin.

"Unless you'd like to make her get all simmered down with a calf, Jaune… She'd probably like that."

Vivian could be a crude woman, as she sighed and shut the door, Jaune feeling his boner slowly deflate, like an air balloon that'd had a hole poked into it.

'I'd better go downstairs.'

There were questionable sounds coming from Saphron's room, someone screaming something about 'damn cow, stop writhing! Fuck it, I didn't expect to be doing this again! Vivian, I'm going to feed you some stuff and then let you sit on it!', Jaune watching Salmon play with Adrian whilst Adam tried to look like he was doing something other than seeing the girl he was dating play with a baby.

The doorbell rang and Jaune got up, opening the door to see a blonde standing there, her lilac eyes looking into his own, a sweet smell around her, perfume if he didn't mistake it. She smelled quite a bit like Sienna did, maybe a similar perfume.

"Can we talk, Jaune?"

There was a plea in her voice and she was sat on the couch with a cup of lemonade in hand, Yang Xiao Long's expression something that Jaune hadn't really seen before. He'd also not seen the jacket that she wore right now before, as she smiled at him, a little hesitant.

"So… I got to talking with Blake. We had a good chat, a very good cat- I-I mean, chat."

There was a joke in there somewhere, Jaune supposed, as Yang seemed to stumble over her words.

"N-not to say that it's- it's bad, I mean, you're not bad, but she's- Sienna is higher-placed than her, b-but humans are- Weiss is devastated, so."

'What?'

He didn't know what Weiss had to do with that.

"Winter proposed to you, didn't she? Weiss- I- She's… I'm-'

Yang looked down, before she bit down on her lower lip and remained silent. Someone upstairs gave a keening wail, as something seemed to fall and someone shouted.

"Okay, I can do this, I can do this… I'm seventeen, it's just words."

'I have a bad feeling about this…'

Yang turned her attention to him.

"Just like mom and dad, I want in. I want in, no matter how many women you've got. Men are like, what, four out of ten of the population? I want to be with you, for- for keeps. I think I love you."

Yang said it so bluntly, but he felt a weird tingle in his stomach, as Adrian giggled a little at something Salmon did. Salmon's facial expression towards him was something that he deciphered as 'do it', taking a deep breath and holding it for a moment.

"I'm… I'm in a relationship, and there's going to be another woman added to that. I'm… I think we should talk alone, outside."

This wasn't the place for conversations like this, and he was outside in the garden, Yang nervously looking at him, her expression hesitantly.

"I'm- I'm not giving up, Jaune. I'm not giving up. Faunus want to fight, so I'll fight them."

He took a deep breath, before he grabbed Yang's shoulders. His sisters would never understand, but they weren't asking him to marry them. Or at least, he didn't think they would.

Hopefully.

"I'm dating Sienna Khan and Willow Schnee. Winter may- she may have feelings for me, but I'm- I'm not going to date more than those two, even if others want me to."

Yang looked at him, before she took a deep breath and he could see that stubborn expression on her face, as he watched her come to a conclusion, her smile looking like a smack in the face, as she peered right into his eyes.

"I'll just have to widen up that love triangle, Jaune. I'm not giving up. Blake might've been too pussy to deal with that, but I'm not going to just shut up and be like Pyrrha."

He winced, as he remembered what Pyrrha had wanted to do.

"I really wouldn't want you to groom me girls to fuck in front of you, no…"

Yang turned beet red.

"What?! No! I mean- She does that?! I thought she was just shy and trying to- oh gods!"

He nodded. Sienna had been very amused by that for some reason.

"I just thought she like, masturbated with your underwear. I know, because I saw her smelling them and rubbing herself against the- Oh, damn…"

She sighed, before she moved in suddenly, and he was kissed again by a woman in the span of less than two hours.

"I'll be back, Jaune."

A ballsy, confident expression on her face, as she grabbed him right by the balls in a gutsy move. He smelled her breath and the scent clicked.

'Is she DRUNK!?'

Yang didn't resist as he grabbed her arm.

"Are you drunk?"

She looked at him with a bold expression on her face.

"Maybe? Un'cle Qrow said, a bit to- for confidence. So, I took a bottle… See ya, Jaune."

'If someone ever deserved a lightning bolt, it is her uncle.'

He didn't like seeing her like that, but she walked steadily enough to the door, giving him a smouldering look.

"See ya, hot stuff…"

He avoided the goodbye kiss she was trying to force on him, as he heard another thud above, and he heard Vivian come down the stairs, her hair pulled back with a band, sitting down, the door shut behind Yang as she left, and the sound of her motorcycle starting up, Jaune sitting down next to his oldest sister.

"Didn't expect to be doing some family business with Saphron today… You're a nuisance, Jaune."

He was a lot more than that, he supposed.

'How am I going to solve this?'

He didn't know that, just yet.

His Scroll beeped and he got a view of Willow's body, currently naked, her face not in the picture.

'Lunch and dinner was productive. I miss you.'

He typed back a quick response, before Vivian could notice.

'I miss you too. See you tomorrow?'

The next picture was of her smiling, and he smiled in return.

"Damn, she looks gorgeous when she doesn't have her hair up in a bun."

Jaune didn't comment, as he slid the picture away, trying to act a little like he was the mature adult in the room.

"I try to pick beautiful women."

Adam made a coughing sound, before Salmon smacked his side.

"Okay, they just find me and declare me to be their man. I don't know whether it is dad's spirit trying to send me all the pretty ladies, or just the laws of attraction."

Or it maybe was Pyrrha, trying to make sure that he had as many people as he could ever want for her little kink. Her Semblance was polarity, and attraction was one of those things…

'Let's hope it doesn't make me irresistible to everyone I meet…'

Glynda Goodwitch sneezed, accidentally spilling her cup of tea over the forms she was filling out.

Another chapter, and I need to see my doctor about my legs, because they're tingling and swollen, yaay.

Things are heating up. Enjoy the heat, whilst my legs feel like they're about to fall off.

Leave a review, I think this may be the last update for this week, if I get put on more medications. Enjoy!
