Chapter 28: War Drums.
Seven yawned and stretched himself out, as he did he felt Visa tighten her grip on him and he looked down to see his possessive Claw girl below him, he couldn't help but smile softly to himself, one would never imagine that a human could ever fall in love with one like her but not only had he done so but he utterly worshipped her, she was his reason to keep going and to keep fighting, both his love and his strength wrapped up in one beautiful scaley hide.
What surprised him the most about her was her strong sense of nobility and honour, you would never imagine a wild creature like her possessing such qualities but in her not only were they proudly evident but she utterly embodied them, standing tall and proud in both the defence of her own and others, like some kind of warrior princess determined to lead her people to victory against a ruthless enemy.
Seven got so wrapped up in his little fantasy of Visa mounted atop a rather oversized horse in full plate armour leading an army of Claws to defeat a vicious enemy on the field of battle before rushing into his tent to steal away her human prince before throwing him over her shoulder and running away with him back to her castle that he didn't notice that she had woken up and was watching him curiously.
When she finally spoke it hit the utterly lost in warm fuzziness Seven like a slap, "Is this a private fantasy or can anyone join my human?" she asked and Seven shook his head to clear it before his eyes refocused on his Claw girl who was giving him a rather toothy grin.
"Errr sorry got caught up in a daydream," he said rather embarrassedly.
"Mmmmm I saw and by the way you were smiling so dreamily I'd wager a rather happy one, care to share?" she purred softly her eyes narrowing on him like she was trying to use her focus to pry his deepest secrets from his heart.
Seven shivered slightly as he felt one of her clawed fingertips tracing the cleft of his spine in gentle stroking motions, "It's kinda embarrassing" Seven said softly and Visa leant in and gently rubbed his cheek with hers.
"You never need be embarrassed to tell me the secrets of your heart my sweet one, I would never judge you and I love to see the way your mind works, so please?" she pressed a little and as Seven already knew flattery would get her everywhere.
"Well ummmm I know it sounds daft and somewhat fucking stupid but I errrr kinda imagined you were a mighty and proud knight-like warrior princess who rode into battle on a gigantic white horse while ummmm leading an army of claws against an evil army of Enclave soldier before bursting into a tent to rescue me from them and carrying me away," he said embarrassment simply dripping from his voice.
Visa blinked a few times in surprise at his complete and utter honesty in describing his fantasy to her but then her face cracked into a wide and tooth-filled smile before turning somewhat sly and devious.
In one swift and smooth movement, Seven found himself on his back pinned under her with his wrists above his head both locked in one big clawed hand while the other gently traced its way along his jawline, "Well if this princess claw is going to fight an army for her human prince then she's going to expect a reward don't you think, now what reward could there be that would be worthy of a noble Claw princess hmmmmm?" Visa purred softly in Seven's ear before running her long tongue around his neck gently making him shiver.
Seven squirmed and writhed under Visa's delicious torment as he felt her claws tracing his naked and incredibly sensitive skin, adding her tongue on top of that was utterly wonderful and made him squirm all the more, Visa pressed her weight down a little and pinned his hips below her pelvis and he instantly felt the incredible heat of her womanhood burning against his felt as she oh so gently ground it against his naked skin marking him with a very hefty dose of her scent and her emanations.
"I don't think a princess is supposed to ravish her prince Visa" Seven panted breathlessly and Visa cracked a fang-filled evil smile.
"Says who? Because they obviously haven't met any Claw princesses then have they? Because in my version of the fantasy the noble Alpha Claw Princess whisks her beautiful human prince away to her luxurious nest and ravishes him all night long until neither of them can move and the beautiful human prince can never even look at a human girl without a profound sense of disappointment in his eyes knowing now that no human will ever measure up to his noble Alpha Claw princess" she growled softly and making Seven chuckle.
"I don't think you ever have to worry in that department my sexy Alpha princess, not seen many near eight foot human girls with thighs that can crack concrete or tails that can make a man weak at the knees running around here, have you?" he said and Visa growled deeply and wantingly.
"No I have not and right now this alpha princess is going to ravish her sexy human prince and show him why only he sits on the throne of her heart," she said before opening her mouth and licking her long tongue over his throat and chest again.
This time it seemed that Seven's fantasy had really gotten Visa hot under the scales because whereas she would have usually revelled in their foreplay and teasing right now she simply wanted her human in his purest form and by the way, she tightened her grip around his wrists as well as pinning his ankles with her tail she wanted to be utterly in control as well.
But Seven didn't mind at all, he knew the deep truth of Visa's heart as well, to her seeing him writhing in pleasure and ecstasy and knowing she was the cause was her greatest thrill and joy, when Visa made jokes about wanting to drown him in pleasure they were only half-jokes, his big sexy alpha claw might be possessive and controlling at times but she made him her sole and utter focus during those times, it was a love like no other and to Seven she was the greatest joy in the universe given flesh and scale.
Visa wasted no time using one of her long clawed fingers to hook his manhood and with a slick practised movement guided it right into her hot, dripping and waiting entrance, Seven felt every single ridge and bump within her as her liquid silk walls clamped down on him moulding her liquid-like flesh to his as she gripped him and pulled him towards her molten hot core.
The growl that escaped her set all kinds of primal instincts off in Seven's brain, he squirmed and writhed like he was trying to escape and this set off a very different set of instincts within Visa's brain, her predatory nature instantly surfaced and her grip tightened and her muscles tensed like she was preparing to fight to keep hold of her prey and to earn her supper, suddenly she lunged forwards hunching right over and bit down on his neck and shoulder making Seven gasp in both shock and surprise but the expected fatal bite never came.
Instead, he felt her mouthing and nipping at his nerve-rich skin never actually breaking it, but it was more than enough to send an absolute torrent of pleasurable tingle shooting right down his spine which made him try to arch his back and thrust his hips upwards, but Visa had a powerful grip on him and kept him pinned.
"Not this time my sweet prince, this time your alpha princess is going to have you and take you all the way" she growled deeply which made Seven's heart turn into an utter jackhammer in his chest.
Seven just submitted to his beautiful Claw's wants and he just let her have him the way her heart so obviously wanted and the moment she felt him relax and submit to her she began to move and also intensify her nibbling on his collar bone and neck, "Just relax my beautiful one, let your alpha please you" she growled and Seven felt her begin to move slowly.
Each thrust was utter heaven, he just couldn't tear his eyes off his big beautiful Claw girl as she reared up taking his hands with her, she planted his hands on her chest swells letting his fingers delve right into the soft pliant scale-covered flesh filling his palms with her large nipples.
Seven utterly revelled in Visa showing herself off for him even when she was in control, she wanted him to see and feel every single part of her and it worked so beautifully well because there was utterly no feeling on earth like being laid flat on your back and looking up at a huge girl bearing down on you as she made love to you.
Visa's insides gripped seven like a liquid silk glove made just for him, she gripped him so tightly that he could easily see her flesh being pulled out from the gap below her protective flap stretching as it tried desperately to hold onto his hard throbbing human flesh.
Visa herself lifted her arms above her head pushing her chest swells out into his hands as she gave him the most incredible and deeply salacious look, licking her lips and fangs as she gazed at him wantingly, looking every bit the apex predator she was, he just couldn't keep his eyes off her, gazing up and down her incredible body, watching every one of those bunched fist-sized abdominal muscles flexing and coiling as she rode him hungrily.
As Seven tried to sit up to reach behind her Visa planted a large hand in the centre of his chest and a powerful shove pushed him back down flat on his back, it appeared that she was unwilling to let up a semblance of control to him this time, her large handheld him flat on his back as she began to intensify her thrusts making her soaking scales and flesh slap against his as well as making her long tail bounce and slap down on his legs.
Seven still had enough of his mind in working order from all the pleasure to be able to unleash his army of invisible hands and the look of surprise in Visa's eyes as she felt human hands squeezing her arse cheeks as well as cupping her breasts while she held him down was priceless.
A dark and powerful grin crossed her face, "So this is the game you wish to play my beautiful prince? Then so be it, I will not lose!" she snarled and with that, she redoubled her efforts as if she took his sudden attack as a challenge to her dominance.
She began to rotate her hips with every thrust not to mention the fact that now her internal muscles were seriously getting in on the action by squeezing and milking in perfect sync with her thrusts, Seven knew he couldn't hold out long under such incredible torment but he was going down fighting, so he summoned yet more hands to the army and they targeted some more of his big claw girl's sweet spots.
With the playing field levelled and Visa's body under attack from every direction by an invisible army of caressing playful hands that was sending a torrent of purest pleasure burning throughout her nervous system Visa gave up the pretence of a game and simply went for it, her eyes seemed to roll back into her head and she lifted her head back as her hips crashed down like a scaly piston onto Seven's human ones, the result was a tie.
Visa let out a roar that if Seven hadn't known what it was would have scared the living daylights out of him, he felt her insides contract around him and try to pull his entire length into her womb, this was coupled with the force from her hips pushing down hard and the rippling effect passing along his shaft, he let out his own roar as he released deep inside her filling her womb to the brim as he felt her muscles working to not only milk every drop from him but to suck up and keep every drop he gave her.
Visa fell forwards onto her elbows which put Seven's face securely between her chest swells and panted hard above him, he could feel her entire body trembling in pure pleasure as it burned through her and she rode the waves of it when it finally subsided she moved slowly off him and lay down at his side drawing him into her arms.
"You never go down quietly or easily do you my beautiful human?" she growled softly nuzzling his face.
"Would you have me any other way? Would you want a silent whipped dog for a mate or someone with some fire in their belly who will push back when you least expect it?" he asked softly and her soft growl told him all he needed to know, "Thought so."
"Don't ever change" Visa said licking his face before drawing him into a supremely deep kiss.
Eventually, the pair disentangled themselves and got up, Seven decided to leave his power armour in the teepee for today so that the villagers could see that he was just a person like them, no different well other than his skin colour and ability to move things just by thinking about it, but still just a simple human being, plus he figured if he helped out around the village it would help them to trust them more.
No sooner had they stepped out of the tent into the light of the morning sun the pair noticed that the others were already awake and had had the same idea, they had only gone two steps when they saw Wisp rolling along carrying a couple of huge pails of water along with a whole host of children that were riding along on her whooping and yelling with joy.
"Good morning you two, hope you both have enough energy left to help out around here after you ahem early morning work out," Wisp said playfully and Visa's face cracked into a wide almost proud smile.
"There is nothing like the attentions of her male first thing in the morning to make a proud noble claw such as I ready for her day, what is there to be done?" she said making Wisp chuckle.
"Well if you are not too sore you can help your brother move logs down by the main gate, Gregory is building...something and he managed to get Runs to convince the chief to let him construct it there," she said.
"Very well," Visa said nodding before she turned to Seven and stroked his face lovingly with her long claws, "I will see you later my beautiful one," she said punctuating her sentence with a deep kiss before heading off to join her brother and Seven just couldn't help watching her tail swish as she walked away.
Seven noticed the blacksmith was hard at work making both spears and other things in the centre of the village and he decided to go see if he could help out there, as he approached he noticed to his surprise that the blacksmith was a rather tall, muscular and bald-headed black man who rather stuck out somewhat.
As Seven approached the man looked up at him curiously from his anvil a mistake that very nearly cost him as in his distraction Seven saw him swing down at his own hand rather than the hot metal he was shaping, out of pure instinct and reflex Seven shot out his hand and one of his invisible hands snatched the hammer from the man's hand before it collided and the man's eyes widened in alarm before he looked down and realised what he'd been about to hit.
The large man visible relaxed as Seven put the floating hammer down on the anvil, "Thanks for that brother, so you must be the metal white man who turns people into pulp just by thinking about it, huh you're not what I expected" the man said in perfect English as he picked up a rag and wiped his glistening brow, his skin was so black that under the light of the sun it almost appeared to have a kind of blue tinge to it.
"No worries and yeah that's me, expecting somebody taller and more metal maybe?" Seven said a little sarcastically which made the huge man laugh like a drain.
"Yeah I guess so, gotta say I think I'm gonna like you white boy, you got a fire in you even when you're not in that power armour suit of yours, Reginald P Bertram at your service but you can call me Reggie," he said offering Seven a hand like looked like it would easily double as either a shovelhead or a hammerhead in a pinch given how utterly ginormous it was.
Seven took it and shook it feeling Reggie squeeze his knuckles in a bit of a grind as he did which made Seven smile a little, Reggie was a bit of an alpha male but the good kind, not the strutting peacock verity who could only crow about their own self-worth, no Seven could already see that he was the kind who simply got stuck in and did what needed to be done, it simply radiated off him like an aura.
Feeling the knuckle grind Seven grinned knowing that he had no chance of reciprocating with his own strength as his hands were tiny by comparison, but he was used to claw hands which made even Reggie's look tiny and given he was used to standing up to Visa this guy was no threat, so he simply squeezed using Telekinesis, just a little jolt which made Reggie crack a wide smile that kinda made him look like a happy shark.
"Now that's a hell of a handshake you got their kid, plus that's a hell of a neat trick, so what is it Telekinesis or what?" Reggie asked making Seven recoil in surprise a little.
"Y-Yeah how did you know?" he stammered and Reggie gave him a knowing smile.
"I ain't just a pretty face son, been around a long time and I saw all sorts of shit, hell I was one of the first outsiders these people came to trust after old Joshua Graham set this place up before old mister crispy went and got himself killed," Reggie said and Seven cocked his head seriously.
"Joshua Graham?" he asked and Reggie nodded.
"A strange one that man to be sure, one side utterly ruthless and damn near unstoppable, on the other kind and compassionate with a genuine want to help people, he was the one who originally got the Dead Horses to where they are today, even managed to quell the fighting between the White Legs and them for a while at least, but now he's gone things just creeping back into how they were again, I always used to think that that man had more demons in his head and heart than there were in the entire of hell itself, well now he's gone and maybe he went to join em who knows, but I do have to be thankful that he got me in here without him I'd still be on the run from the Enclave," Reggie said bitterly.
Seven's heart froze and Reggie saw it, "You know who I'm talking about don't cha lad?" he said and Seven nodded.
"Yeah I know them alright," he said and Reggie looked him up and down with a curious look before nodding to himself.
"You're one of their little experiments, motherfuckers just never did know when to leave well enough alone, how did you manage to escape?' he asked.
Seven pointed at Wisp who was barely visible now under the mountain of kids clambering all over her, she was barely more than a pair of metal hands and some wheels.
"The robot let you out?" Reggie said sounding surprised.
"Believe it or not she's not a robot, she's human-like me or you, she's just different, she's non-corporeal, she can enter the body of any robot and control it like a puppet" he explained and Reggie's eyes widened then he scratched his chin thoughtfully.
"Yeah that sure as hell sounds like something they'd do and I'm guessing it was the same for you, let me guess no memories before waking up in their little secret bunker right?" he said and Seven looked at him in utter shock.
"How did you know!?" he exclaimed and Reggie huffed.
"Cos I have seen it with my own two eyes kid, alright let me break it down for you, see if anything fits the familiar here," he said and Seven listened intently as he began to speak.
"You see the Enclave is always on the look out for that next edge they can give themselves over the other powers of the wastes, they got a whole lot of little fingers all over and those fuckers are buried to the fucking knuckles in a whole lotta pies, I was a hunter, one of the Enclave's elite capture or kill squads, it was out job to to either bag a target they pointed at or vanish the poor fucker permanently, now those we bagged wound up in places like the one you most likely escaped from, underground bunkers either custom made or repurpose from some of the old Vaults that are laying around all over the shop, either way those that went in never came back out, they would look for those with gifts if you want to call them that, in reality they were just mutations caused by the radiation and god only knows what else, they would dissect the poor fuckers to find out what made em tick but not before they harvested sperm or egg cells from them and boom instant mutant breeding program" Reggie said.
Seven was utterly aghast, "You just took people from their homes and dragged them to their deaths? For nothing more than being different!?" he exclaimed angrily and Reggie nodded.
"I ain't going to make any excuses for it kid, I was young and like most I was born into the Enclave like every one of them is near enough, my parents were high up officers in the chain of command, they got me where I ended up, I was young and fucking stupid, I genuinely believed that what we're doing was for the good of the country, it took too fucking long for my eyes to get forced open and to realise just what fucking horrors I was committing, it comes to a point when you look at a Deathclaw in a cage being tortured to try and make it docile and you realise it's not the monster, you are," Reggie said.
"Hey careful with the Deathclaw and monster bit, I happen to love one very dearly and insulting them in front of me is very unwise" Seven growled which made Reggie's eyes widen.
"So it is true, I been hearing people whispering like crazy that a NightStalker girl is marrying young Runs and that the two that came in with your lot been making a whole lot of odd noises in the night not to mention the fact that they can talk but I just put it down to more village hokum, but it's true?" he said and Seven nodded.
"My Visa is a noble, beautiful and proud woman, I love her and respect her and anyone who insults her will answer to me, live or die I will defend my girl," Seven said proudly and Reggie began to chuckle and before Seven could figure out what in the name of hell was happening Reggie was full-on belly laughing.
He slapped a huge hand down on his shoulder, "Oh I like you kid, you got some serious fire if you think a deathclaw girl needs you to defend them but alright, I can see you got the fire in your heart to back up what you say plus after hearing what you did to that white leg leader outside and just seeing what you can do with my own eyes I gotta believe your good for it, non-humans and humans loving one another, never thought I'd see that day happen but I guess the world changes a hell of a lot faster when you try to hide from it and shut it out" Reggie said as Seven simply huffed in annoyance.
"So you're not disgusted?' Seven asked warily, it was a loaded question to test the man's integrity and Reggie simply smiled at him.
"Might not be my flavour kid but I ain't the one that gotta look under her tail now am I? So if scales, a temper that would make a full-on demon back the hell up and enough muscles to drop kick a super mutants green arse too the motherfucking moon is your flavour then you do you, son, I just hope you got enough to keep her happy, though by the roars I heard echoing across the village this morning I'd say so, funny I thought that was just her complaining about being woken up guess now I know the truth huh?" he said chuckling again and Seven looked proud at that.
"Well anyway now where was I? Oh yes, the breeding program, now I don't pretend to know the ins and outs of the science those fuckers were tinkering with all I know was they were trying to weaponise those mutations and to use them to create a kind of super soldier that could be born into the Enclave and utilized just like I was, can you imagine? A race of power armoured super-soldiers with all kinds of power and abilities at their disposal, it would make the Enclave utterly unstoppable, then there's the full-on mutation programs, these have given rise to a whole host of things, some of them are full-on nightmare fuel" Reggie said.
"Mutation programs?" Seven asked and Reggie nodded.
"In short they were breeding monsters kid, imagine your big Deathclaw girl back there but crossed with something like a Radspider, hell imagine humans crossed with them, their goal was to create creatures that could be thrown into battle and would be nigh on unstoppable like unleashing a living tank into a battle, trust me, kid, some of the things I've seen make super mutants and your big Claw girl back there look like fluffy kittens by comparison," Reggie said with a visible shudder.
This gave Seven a hell of a lot to think about, "What made you get out?" he asked eventually.
"I began to see the reality of what I was doing, I saw good communities utterly destroyed simply because they wouldn't bow down and accept the Enclave's rule, good people murdered because they dared to speak out against them, I began to take a good long hard look at the world and I realised I was part of the problem, I was making it worse, not better, the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back was my squad was ordered to wipe out an entire town to serve as a lesson to their neighbors as to what happens to settlements that don't toe the line with us, obey and you are left alone, resist and you get turned to dust, I can still see the bodies every night in my dreams and I welcome it, because it reminds me every day what I did and makes me strive harder and harder to earn any kind of forgiveness that I might be able to obtain, though I'm under no illusions that I deserve any, so now I just do what I can, like with these good people, they took me in when I ran away, so now I work to make their lives better" Reggie said gesturing with a large hand across all the metal wares his little blacksmiths produced.
There was everything from buckets, to spears, to arrows, to knives and even gardening and farming tools, "I learned the trade from the previous blacksmith before he died of cancer, then I took that knowledge and moved it forwards by using all the things I'd seen in the places I'd been to give that to these people, better farming tools, tin baths for their homes, hell even water pumps and filters" Reggie said proudly and Seven nodded then a thought occurred to him.
"Do you think you could teach me?" he said and Reggie looked surprised.
"You want to be a blacksmith?" he asked curiously.
"I think it will be a valuable skill to have out there in the wastes, craftsmen are kinda limited you know, just look at Gregory over there, he's a full-blown engineer and mechanic, how many of him do you think are just wandering about?" he said pointing at the black-suited human who was currently directing people to move a load of heavy poles about, it looked like he was building a kind of lookout tower while also being fussed by Ven.
Reggie scratched his chin and nodded, "You got a point there kid, alright then, grab yourself a hammer, we can chat while we work" he said pulling down a second leather apron like the kind he was wearing and the pair got to work.
As they worked Seven explained to Reggie what had happened to him and the others even down to the falling in love with Visa part so that there were no misunderstandings, surprisingly for someone who used to be part of the Enclave Reggie was understanding, even going as far as to say that in this world love was the most sought after and rarest of all precious resources because good women were just so damn hard to find, even going as far as to tell him a few stories about girls he'd seen run away from good loving homes to join raider factions for a 'thrill' or an 'adventure.'
This was just about one of the stupidest things that Seven had heard but it got him thinking about that woman he's seen in the raider factions that he himself had done battle with and it made him wonder if there really was any hope left for humanity, that's when he caught sight of Visa bending down to pick up a huge tree trunk that had been cut into a log and as his eyes roamed over her utterly sculpted scaly rear end he very nearly turned his own hand into paste till Reggie snatched the hammer from him startling him.
"You want to keep your eyes on that shovelhead and off your girl's big scaly ass boy?" Reggie said with a playful grin.
Seven chuckled and blushed a bit rubbing the back of his head with his hand, "Guess that makes us even then doesn't it?" he said and Reggie chuckled hard.
"Yeah I guess it does, but I will say this son you might be onto something with those claw girls, now while I did say they definitely not my flavour can't deny your girl got a mighty fine tail end on her, just for god sake don't tell her I said that by the way you described her get the feeling she's one human claw and I doubt she'd appreciate another human taking a look," he said and Seven laughed.
"You got that right though it's much worse for girls who look at me I can assure you," he said and Reggie roared with laugher.
"Now that I can believe, they say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned or the devil himself knows no fire like a woman's jealousy, you got yourself the epitome of both right there now don't you son?" he said grinning like he'd just won a prize ham or something.
Seven laughed and nodded and feeling an itch on his neck he glanced up to find Visa gazing at him before being slapped across the back of her head by her brother for not paying attention and just standing there holding a huge log on her shoulder which set off a whole lot of claw shouting which Seven could hear the growls and roars from where he stood.
He chuckled and shook his head, "You got that right and I'd not have her any other way, she's big, beautiful, strong as they come with a heart of gold and a soul of flame and she's all mine" he said.
"Probably helps that she got a nice ass too huh?" Reggie said jokingly and this made Seven roar with laughter.
"Damn straight, trust me you ain't lived till you see what they hide under that big sexy tail close up," he said and now Reggie roared with laughter again.
"You sure is a strange one kid I'll say that but you sure don't hold back do ya?" he said.
"Think I get a choice with her?" he said and Reggie nodded.
"Yeah I see what you mean, can't imagine a deathclaw being exactly subtle," he said and Seven laughed.
"Well if you consider throwing a grenade into a room filled with glass subtle then yeah she's the epitome of it," he said making Reggie grin.
"You got balls kid I'll give you that mind you to seduce one their kind I should have guessed that one a mile off," he said.
A few hours later Seven really had got the hang of this blacksmithing lark, it also made good practice for his use of Telekinesis, he found that using his mind he could shape and form the metal far easier than by using the hammer or other shaping tools, all he needed was the general dynamic of how a particular item was crafted and he could replicate it using his invisible army, to his sheer delight the pain that came was actually beginning to be quite tolerable now, he guess all that practice with his invisible hand army had really paid off, speaking of invisible hands as he glanced up he saw too good of an opurtunity to miss, two infact.
Across the way Visa and Ven were just hammering in the final supports to the new lookout tower, while his sister knocked in the few final pegs to lock the legs into place Ven was bending forwards and leaning on the long shaft of his hammer, he happened to notice Gregory by his draft table about four feet away staring at Ven's ass like a starving man staring at a steak, so with a burst of focus Seven reached out and smacked the big claw boys ass with one of his invisible hands.
Ven let out a surprised yell and his tail shot up ram road straight for a split second before he hunkered down and spun around to find the guilty party, but found only a rather confused looking Gregory looking up at him, Ven stared at him for a moment before letting out a growl that Seven heard from where he was stood before the surprised human knew just what in the name of hell was going on he found himself dangling from Ven's broad shoulder and the big claw boy was marching across the village growling about the need to teach his beautiful human not to start what he wasn't willing to finish before vanishing from sight.
Visa stood looking utterly confused until she let out an equally surprised yell as the sensation of a human hand colliding with one of her scaly cheeks of glory made her jump out of her scales before dropping into a fighting stance and spinning around on the spot looking for the human who was most likely about to have their head torn off, instead, her narrowed eyes found Seven grinning at her like an idiot from his blacksmith's stand and she instantly clicked onto what had just happened.
The sound of a few hundred pounds of angry/aroused deathclaw girl marching on a mission would scare the living daylights out of anyone who wasn't accustomed to it and by the look on Reggie's face when Visa stomped up to the blacksmiths said he most definitely wasn't.
"Err can I help you?" he asked and Visa shot him a dangerous look.
"I'm taking my human, he needs to learn a lesson in claw manners and also consequences" she growled and before he knew it Seven was the one now dangling from a large broad claw shoulder.
"Me, you, tent, now" Visa snarled and just like that they were off.
An hour later Seven staggered out of their tent and found Gregory still looking confused but by the dreamy and utterly glazed smile on his face it wasn't an unhappy confused, he smiled at Seven knowingly and Seven returned it.
"Don't know what the hell I did but if that's what I get I guess I'll just have to do it more often, now if only I knew what it was" the love-drunk young man said and Seven grinned at him.
"Don't worry Gregory I'm sure you'll figure it out" he said with a wink at Ven who was just emerging from the tent looking rather pleased with himself, the big claw shot a look at his human, then at Seven and then at Visa and suddenly clicked onto exactly what had just happened to him and what he'd been tricked into.
"Sneaky human you got there sister, you need to keep a close eye on him or he might wind up being responsible for a whole human village being carried off by hopeful and over amorous non-humans who got tricked into thinking the humans have suddenly become rather bold, open-minded and are wishing to take a walk on the wild side," he said.
"Is that a complaint dear brother?" Visa purred wrapping her long arms around Seven from behind and pulling him into a tight hug.
Ven did the same to his own love drunk human who was all giggly and soppy but also very welcoming of the hug, "Now did I say that?" he purred giving Gregory an upside-down kiss and that's when they both heard it and both claws snapped their heads up looking towards the gates.
"What is it?" Seven asked instantly going on alert.
"Drums, lots of drums and they're getting closer," Visa said.
