I pulled the plain back shirt from the sewing machine and pulled it on.

I've learned quite a lot about fashion from determining the reactions the girls would have to various outfits. In fact, I've learned a lot about a lot of things by asking a lot of questions in that way.

But fashion was a simpler task for now.

Slipping on the altered shirt, I pet the top few buttons remain open as I dragged myself out of the room.

I sprayed myself down with cologne as I mentally checked the results of asking Ahri if she was ready…

Still busy, I guess.

It took her another fifteen minutes to finally leave the room, bouncing out in a short black dress and tall black pumps.

I pulled her in for a quick kiss and dragged her over to my garage.

I didn't normally drive, on account of living about a fifteen-minute subway ride to work, but the money coming I decided to splurge a bit.

Ahri climbed onto the back of the crotch rocket and we took off.

The club was…

Well, it was a club.

Lots of loud music, overpriced alcohol and now that I looked better than average, a bunch of women with no regard for personal space.

And a couple of men too.

At least Ahri seemed to be enjoying things.

The two of us danced for a while, I attempted to get to know her a little better and failed, and I shelled out way too much money to let Ahri work up a buzz.

Still, the dances grew increasingly intimate until the two of us were just groping each other on the dance floor.

Eventually, we found ourselves leaving the club.

Still largely sober, I let Ahri paw at me as we headed back home.

Before long, she was demanding that I go faster, and rather than do something stupid like doing it on the busy roads, I pulled off into a secluded alley and opened up a portal to one of the test sites on the alternate earth.

As I took off across the arid salt flats, Ahri cheered, revealing her tails to release some of her power and start blasting away at the surrounding landscape.

Eventually, though, she got bored of it and the two of us headed back to the compound.

By the time that I rolled the bike into the garage, Ahri had undone most of my buttons, leaving me largely barechested.

~~ CENSORED ~~

I left Ahri to rest, absentmindedly petting her tails.

Eventually, quiet snoring sounds began to fill the room.

I turned to the sleeping fox-spirit and sighed a little.

I carried the dunk woman to her room and after a quick wipe-down tucked her in.

I left her to sleep and headed back to grab some medicine for when she woke up.

Ahri's abilities might grant her some degree of resistance against toxins, but she had drunk enough at the club to get more than a little buzzed. The would almost certainly be waking up with a hangover after that if a mild one.

I looked through my medicine cabinet and frowned.

It seemed that she had mild allergies to normal medication, which wouldn't be great if she was already hungover.

I ran through options in the back of my head to make sure she would feel better in the morning.

In the end, I ended up jumping out quickly to grab some willow-bark to make her a tea and putting one of the biotic generators on her side table.

And then, I turned in for the night.

I awoke to the sound of a shower.

By the time I had pulled myself out of bed and out to the kitchen, Ahri was already sitting there, drinking some water and dressed in one of the fluffy bathrobes that Elizabeth had stocked the bathrooms with.

"Morning," I yawned, "do you want anything fro breakfast?"

Ahri looked at me and shrugged, "Just a breakfast bowl."

"Sure." I nodded.

As I prepared the bowl for her, she just stared at the glass.

I served it up to her and she looked up at me, "So… how was it for you?"

I paused for a moment, "Honestly not great." I admitted, "I'm not too big a fan of crowds and loud noises."

Ahri sighed, "I get you."

We sat there in silence for a little while as she ate.

"Was the sex good at least?" Ahri inquired.

I nodded, "That was great, you don't need to worry about that."

"Well at least that part went as planned," Ahri offered.

I nodded absentmindedly as I cleared away her empty breakfast bowl. As I started cleaning the bowl at the sink, I heard Ahri ask me a question, "Hey Jon?"

"Yeah?" I respond as I turned to her.

She looked at me, "If you don't like clubs, why did you take me there?"

"I mean, I haven't really been to any before," I admit, "So I was willing to try. That and I had a feeling that you wouldn't enjoy skydiving or the amusement park I was considering previously."

Ahri winced, "That wouldn't have been great."

"So yeah, I was willing to give it a try but I guess it didn't work out." I offer.

Ahri nodded before perking up, "hey do you have the stuff for mimosas?"

I sighed and headed over to the booze cupboard.
