Siracusan Cuisine, Late at Night
"And if you need something, push that button over there and I'll come right away"
With those words, Sussurro closed the door to the inner room and let out an heavy sigh. That was... not exactly what that area was meant for, but since it was still technically a matter relating to one's health, the short doctor didn't quite find it in her to turn the, let's say, patient away. Especially because she didn't really have to do anything herself by that point. Just wait for said patient to be done.
She sighed again and turned around, looking at the rather small office she was in, the clock ticking away at the admittedly not too numerous hours left of her night shift.
Small medical offices liked that had popped up here and there on the landship in the past two weeks or so. They were mostly just single rooms, with a few -including that one- having an additional secondary room included. Such places had been set up here and there on the landship, basically consultation rooms. Around five, if her memory was right. Maybe a bit less. The main idea behind it was to have someone always aviable at less than half a kilometer and four staircases of distance in case something happened. An idea that hadn't exactly been universally well received by the medical staff, admittedly, but the prospective of potentially having only those in actual need stroll into the main ward was quite alluring, enough to get the idea to a testing stage at least.
Sussurro had drawn the short stick out of the stack -fittingly, some would say- and got herself the night shifts at one such offices. Some would've actually quite liked to be in her place, as there usually wasn't much traffic and one could just catch up on their studies, play around on their laptops or stuff like that. Sussurro, on her part, would've rather spent her time where she was more needed. The shifts there were meant to change every week for a month, after which it would be decided wether that idea was better off scrapped or not, and so far that had resulted in four rather uneventful nights for the vulpo. Not like nobody ever came by, but it was mostly for stuff that could be solved with some over-the-counter medicine at worst, with better self-care at best.
Well, that didn't quite apply to the person currently in the other room, but that was closer to a temporary condition caused by a sudden and somewhat extreme change in the person's environment. Sussurro had already given them all the information needed, as well as the space. She'd rather have stayed inside to assist in case of need, honestly, but it was overall such a simple matter that the doctor couldn't bring herself to ignore the patient's wish for some privacy.
And so Sussurro was left there de-facto alone, going through the medical reports of some patients as a way to both kill some time and not slack off. That lasted for a good twenty, maybe thirty minutes, until someone else knocked. She got off her chair and walked to the door, a part of her happy to have some actual work to do, another one thinking it would've been overall better for everyone for that, too, to be more of a "you need more sleep" situation and less of a "the originium growth in your leg is pushing into your femoral artery, if the surgery goes wrong we'll have to amputate your leg, but even if it goes well chances are this will become a chronic issue" situation.
That latter scenario had already happened twice that month.
Sussurro shook her head left and right a couple of times to brush away that thought and opened the door.
"Oh, look who's there. Hi, pipsqueak"
"... Lappland"
What an odd sight. Lappland had only ever been to the medical ward... four times, if Sussurro's memory was right. Once when she first joined Rhodes Island, for her mandatory medical assessment. Once when she got some pretty bad injuries during an operation that nearly went haywire. Twice to visit someone, though who exactly, Surrusso had no idea. In short, the vulpo doctor couldn't quite bring herself to think Lappland was there for medicines, nor for a medical consultation.
"It's Sussurro, not pipsqueak"
"Close enough, ain't it?"
Lappland was smiling. That, in itself, was really nothing out of the ordinary. More surprising were her pupils, oddly dilated. And then there were the two bags she was carrying, one on her back and the other in her hands. The former was a large, black duffel bag, a peculiar design Sussurro's own siracusan background made her able to recognize.
That was generally used for corpses, as it was insulated enough to keep most scents locked inside and sturdy enough to not break by accident when dragged through the woods.
The bag Lappland was carrying wasn't quite exactly like the ones Sussurro had seen back in Siracusa herself, but those things did came in a variety of designs after all. The medic smelled the air, her nose catching an extremely faint trace of a scent coming from inside that bag. She couldn't quite place it, partially due to how feeble it was, but she could at least tell that wasn't the stink of a rotting corpse. No, it was more pungent, and... actually rather pleasant.
As for the other bag, it was actually more of a backpack. On the large side, but otherwise a completely ordinary one.
"Do you need help?" Sussurro asked, still holding a faint hope that Lappland had finally started taking her own health seriously.
"Not at all"
So much for having had hopes.
"Why are you here then?"
"Doesn't look like I'm freezing the line to me" the lupo replied with a chuckle, met by a sigh from the vulpo.
"That's true, but... "
"I don't need help, but the one with me here does" she said as she lifted the bag a little.
"You... you have someone inside there?"
"That's what I said"
"Wha- you can't just put a person in a duffel bag and carry them around, Lappland!"
"Trust me on this one, it's for the better!" she replied, and by the look of it she was on the verge of bursting out laughing "Oh, but maybe it would've been funnier without the bag, yes!"
"Where did you even take that bag from?"
"I always keep a foldable one on me, pipsqueak. Wanna guess why?"
"Let's... let's leave that for later and let them out"
"Sure, but not in the hallway"
"Why n- alright, sure. Come in, quick" she resigned, fully aware that arguing on that wouldn't really get her anywhere.
Without further words, Lappland strolled inside the office, put the backpack down in a corner and then placed the bag down more in the center of the room, and somewhat carefully too.
"Alright, happy now?"
"Move aside a little, would you?"
"Aaahhh, wait, it's better if I open this myself" the lupo replied as she held Sussurro back with an arm the length of which the vulpo admittedly couldn't match.
Neither the length nor the strength, but it was mostly the former that annoyed her.
And then, without waiting for an answer, Lappland grabbed the zipper on the bag and pulled it open.
As far as Sussurro's nose was concerned, that might well have been a bomb going off right next to her. An extremely strong scent suddenly filled the room, so intense and sudden that she nearly lost her balance for a moment, her ears twitching as her brain tried to process the unexpected assault to her nostrils. It was a pleasant aroma, for sure. Alluring even, almost frighteningly so. And warm, so terribly warm Sussurro considered taking off her coat.
Then, just as she was about to realize what that scent was, someone popped their head out of the bag to take a long, heavy breath.
"... Li- Suzuran? What... what are you doing in there?"
"Eh? Ah, miss Sussurro, good evening! Oh, no, I meant good night! A-awawa, that sounds wrong too... " she replied, her bow making her briefly disappear back inside the bag for a few moments.
"Suzuran, what in the world are you doing still up at this hour?" the medic asked again, purposefully focusing on only that part and not the rest of the situation.
"You wouldn't believe it!" Lappland laughed from the side, but Sussurro tried to just ignore her for the time being.
"Ah, ehm, a-actually, miss Sussurro, I... a... awawa... "
The just-barely taller vulpo made her way to Suzuran, her head still somewhat dizzy from the overbearing scent, and placed her hands on her shoulder to try and calm her down a bit.
"Alright, relax. Breathe, steady breaths. In. Out. In. Out. Like that. Better?"
This scent... d-don't tell me she's...
"Y-yes, thanks"
"Come on, morsel, you should hurry" Lappland commented, her expression suggesting that she was very much looking forward to something.
"'Morsel'?"
"P-please don't ask about that... " Suzuran replied, her words shifting Sussurro's gaze back from Lappland to herself.
And, now that she had taken a better look at her, Sussurro's suspects became more concrete. The flushed cheeks. The low gaze. The slightly bent ears. The restless tails. The dilated pupils. The heavy breaths. Oh, so that's what that scent was. The intensity was unlike anything Sussurro had ever experienced before, unlike anything she'd ever heard before even, so she hadn't quite recognized it at first.
"... Suzuran, you're having your first estrus?" she asked, her own breath growing heavy from the sheer strength of the younger vulpo's scent.
Her whole body twitched.
"I-I-Yes, I... I have read a few b-books about it, and... "
"Hey, it's fine. This happens to everyone, really. It's just a physiological matter"
"This ain't normal at all!" Lappland bursted laughing from the side, quite literally rolling around on the floor while holding her stomach.
"Would you please be quiet for a moment?! Aehm, sorry, I was saying" Sussurro quickly regained her composure "The first time can be a little overwhelming, but there are several ways to get through it without having to... well, that"
In truth, Suzuran was somewhat precocious, as most vulpos didn't start having their yearly heat until one or two years over her current age. Not exactly worrying, but that did probably explain why she seemed so unprepared.
The intensity of her scent wasn't normal at all though. It was so strong that even Sussurro herself was starting to feel some of the heat's effects, even though her period was supposed to arrive a few months later.
Alright, calm down. You're an adult. The only responsible adult in the room too. Keep it straight.
"Out with it already, morsel!" Lappland hurged Suzuran on in siracusan -maybe because all three could understand it, maybe for some entirely unrelated reason- as she got back to her feet, wiping a couple of tears from her eyes.
What's she so amused by... Sussurro wondered.
"R-right, yes! Miss Sussurro, I need help with... w-with... well, I have to... "
"Suzuran, relax. I'm here to help. And everyone goes through heat, there's nothing to be ashamed of"
"... right! Then, miss Sussurro, please help me lay an egg!" the younger vulpo shouted as she took a step back to bow again. Still from inside the bag too, technically.
Had it not been for Lappland's manic laughter, the room would've been dead silent. Sussurro looked at Suzuran -still bent ninety-degree in bowing position-, she looked and stared and found herself utterly lost.
"... an... egg, you say?"
"An egg" she repeated, her tails waving wildly, her ears as low as they could physically go.
"Suzuran, you... you're a vulpo. We don't lay eggs. Some races do, but not us"
How in the world did Suzuran get that idea? She was even studying medicine herself, that was basic knowledge everyone in that field of study should've had, even students. Actually, that was just common knowledge. Lappland's arm suddenly coming to rest on Sussurro's shoulder brought her mind away from such thoughts and back to the there and then.
"It's not hers, pipsqueak. It's a gloompincer's"
"That's not even funny, Lappland"
"I-it's the truth"
Sussurro's brain stopped working for a few moments. Or a few seconds. Perhaps even a full minute. Had Lappland not shook her a few times, it might not even have resumed activity on its own.
"... what"
"I-I was... well, there... "
"'lright, 'lright, this is taking forever" the lupo interrupted her "So here's the short of it: little morsel here wanted to see the gloompinchers' pen because someone told her they like to be petted, and since I had nothing to do I accompanied her there. There was nobody else around but well, it's night, guess that's normal" she began to explain, Suzuran's face turning redder and redder with every word.
"I already have several questions"
"Save them. Anyway, we got there. Morsel was smelling a bit weird and looked a bit feverish but hey, if she wants to go who am I to tuck her into bed instead. And things seemed fine, those critters are pretty friendly when they don't grow up in a swamp. But watching her play with them isn't really my thing, so I went to take a stroll around the pen, and... "
"You left Suzuran alone with the gloompincers?!"
"Relax, she had her staff with her. And I didn't even go that far. And they're really meek. Anyway, I come back a little later and what do I find? She was going at it with... "
"A-ahawawaaaaaaaa!"
"O-ok, wait, that's enough" Sussurro interrupted the narration again, seeing how Suzuran had curled up into a ball and was holding her face out of pure, unadultered embarrassment.
"I'm terribly sorry!" she shouted "I-I know I shouldn't have, b-but I got this funny feeling in my stomach, and it was starting to get so hot, so I took off my coat, and then and then and awawaaaaaa... "
"O-ohy, Suzuran. C-calm down, it's... it's nothing major" Sussurro tried to calm her down "F-for now, how about you step out of that bag and take a seat?"
"... yes... "
The little vulpo wasn't really crying, she just seemed embarassed beyond belief, and Sussurro honestly couldn't tell wether that was a good thing or not. Regardless, she made some distance between herself and the child -partially to give her own nose at least a semblance of respite from that scent- and dragged a chair over, inviting her to sit down. Suzuran complied, her breath still ragged.
"So, yeah, morsel got herself a gloompincher's egg but we have to take it out. Can't really leave it there, now can we? I told her I could do it myself but she'd rather have a professional to deal with it"
I'm not sure if I should be thankful for that or not.
"Well, that... yeah, we can't leave it in there, you're right on that. A gynecologist chair would be pretty handy, but we don't have one here... "
"I can stuff her back into the bag if we have to take her to the main ward" Lappland offered.
Admittedly, considering the intensity of the scent Suzuran was giving off, Sussurro could see why Lappland had put her into an insulated bag to carry her around Rhodes Island. She wouldn't call it a good solution, but it was better than -no. No, no, no, that was still decidedly excessive.
"Could... could we keep it... private?" Suzuran asked "I would rather not have... anyone else know about this... "
"That's... fair" the doctor agreed, blushing herself to a degree "Well, so... uh, lie down here and I'll... well, take a look" she added as she patted her hand on the small exam table.
This... won't quite be the same as a normal egg laying, I guess.
"Just... relax a bit. And you, come over here a moment" she told Lappland, inviting her over to a corner of the room.
"What?"
"Why did Suzuran come to you of all people to go see the gloompincers?" she whispered.
"We hang out together every now and then"
"Yeah, no, I don't believe that. And at this hour too?"
"Eh, suit yourself. I don't really care either way"
"Alright, fine, let's leave that for later. How did she get a gloompincher's egg inside of her? The males don't lay eggs"
"Listen here now, pipsqueak, what makes you think I have any idea how those critters work?"
"... fair enough"
Honestly, Sussurro herself didn't really know much about gloompinchers. Maybe the males were the ones to lay eggs? ... no, that seemed unlikely? Then, did Suzuran do... that with a female? That seemed somehow even less likely.
Wait, this isn't important now.
Slapping her own cheeks to shift her focus back to the current situation, Sussurro turned around and walked up to Suzuran. After having placed a stool next to the table to accomodate for her short height, Sussurro looked at the other vulpo in the eyes with the most reassuring expression she could pull off. Not her best one, admittedly, perhaps because Suzuran's mere presence in that state was making her dizzy.
"I'll try to get a feel for where exactly the egg is, alright?"
Suzuran nodded, and so Sussurro placed an hand over her belly. She then moved it around softly, occasionally pushing down with just a little bit of strength. The egg was more or less where she had figured it would be given the... means of insertion, just a bit further up than she had expected.
"Alright, lie down while I grab a pair of gloves"
"S-sure"
Just as Sussurro stepped away from the table, Lappland walked around to the other edge of it, leaning over to look Suzuran right in the eyes.
"Nervous?"
"... a lot"
"Eh, figures. You sure looked like you were having fun back there though"
The little vulpo covered her face with both hands, her tails curling up as well to hide a good part of her body from sight.
"That was so... weird and... I-I don't know... "
"Never thought you'd be that crazy, you know? Oh, I ain't complaining, don't get me wrong" she added as she leaned further down, grabbing Suzuran's wrists and pulling them away, their faces so close they were almost touching "That was honestly really amusing, but don't overdo it next time" she said with a wide smile and a soft chuckle.
"Miss Lappland, I truly don't plan for there to be a next time... "
"You didn't plan for a first time either"
"Let her be, Lappland" Sussurro said as she came back.
She hadn't really heard their conversation as the two had whispered rather than spoken, but she couldn't really see anything reassuring coming out of the lupo's mouth. Especially given the circumstances.
"Sure, sure, she's in your hands" she agreed as she simply sat on the table next to Suzuran, briefly running an hand through her hair and giving her a quick rub behind the ear.
Sussurro did see that but, partially because she wasn't sure how to interpret the gesture and partially because she had something much more urgent to think about, she decided to not worry about it for the time being. Instead, she took a deep breath -with her mouth, as she was trying to use her nose as little as possible- and lifted Suzuran's skirt up.
She swallowed. A part of her thought she should've seen it coming given what she'd been told, but still the sight in front of her caught her by surprise.
Suzuran's pantyhose was torn, as well as her panties. The missing cloth wasn't exactly a clean patch, and the underwear in particular seemed to have been moved aside at least a bit before getting damaged, which allowed it to still offer a certain degree of cover. Not much, but still better than nothing. Suzuran herself didn't have any visible injury of any kind, no scratches, no cuts, no irritated skin and, in particular, no bloodstains anywhere. That was already a relief. Then there was the fact that she was drenched in her own fluids. The amount was... a little high, all things considered, but still within expectations for someone in heat.
Truly regretting not having a clip of some kind to keep her own nose shut, Sussurro took off Suzuran's shoes, then she grabbed her undergarments and pulled them down completely, removing them as well. Then she placed an hand on Suzuran's belly, her fingers quickly finding their way back to the egg's location.
"Suzuran, do you know what this is?" she asked as she showed her a tool made of stainless steel.
"Y-yes" she replied, blushing madly.
... how does she know what a speculum is already? she wondered, pretty sure that her course of study didn't exactly involve that field.
"That makes things easier. I have to see exactly how large the egg is, so I'll need this one. It's a bit cold, and it might feel a bit uncomfortable, but please bear with it a little"
Suzuran reached for Lappland's hand and held it. The lupo let out a chuckle, but she did return the grasp.
"Alright. Yes"
"You know this is nothing compared to... "
"P-please don't finish that sentence, miss Lappland"
"As you wish, little morsel, as you wish"
Making a mental note to later look into what exactly was going on between those two, even if only because nothing good could possibly come from Lappland getting friendly with someone like Suzuran, Sussurro put herself in position and placed the speculum against Suzuran's wet privates. The touch sent a shiver up her spine, the steel feeling even colder than it truly was due to her body currently being much warmer than usual. Swallowing a bit of saliva and something else as well, Sussurro pushed the tool in, slowly, making a conscious effort to not block out Suzuran's vocalizations as those helped her figure out wether she could keep going or not. And, as a matter of fact, she stopped after just two, maybe three centimeters, the younger vulpo's breathing restarting at the same time.
"Come on, morsel, you've done better than this in the past" Lappland commented with a slightly too wide smile, one hand still holding Suzuran's while the other petted her head.
"Lappland, I think it's better if you leave for a little bit"
"N-no!" Suzuran suddenly shouted, startling the doctor and greatly amusing the lupo "I mean, I-I'd rather have her around if... if at all possible"
Sussurro stood up -and got on the stool too- to look Suzuran in the eyes without having to either circle around the table or have her stand back up.
"Are you sure? I think she's just making you more nervous"
"No, she... she is just a bit bad at expressing herself, really"
"Ohy, I won't stand for such baseless slander" Lappland shot back, though the way she chuckled as she did so probably meant she wasn't serious at all.
"I-I meant that in a good way!"
"But of course you did!" she replied with a smile.
"Ok, ok, fine" Sussurro cut them off as she went back to her position "Now breathe in and relax"
"Yes!"
What in the world is up between them?
Just as she had told Suzuran to do, Sussurro took a deep breath herself. She was starting to sweat a little, and nearly caught herself touching Suzuran's thighs for no reason. She shook her head hard a couple of times, then grabbed the speculum and pushed it a little bit further inside.
Suzuran's legs closed around her right after, pretty much slapping her face from both sides.
"W- ah, I-I'm terribly sorry!" she apologized right away. Had Lappland not held her down, she'd have most likely gotten up too.
"It's fine, this kind of thing just happens sometimes. Just relax a little"
"Right! Yes, I'll... I'll try"
After the same thing happened again three times in a row, however, Sussurro began to seriously wonder how she could get her to stand still. Luckily, or perhaps regrettably, the one to come up with a solution was Lappland.
"'lright, let me handle this one" the lupo said.
Right after the words left her mouth, she briefly let go of Suzuran's hand to hop on the table herself, getting on all fours right on top of the vulpo and holding her legs up and apart with her own, in what Sussurro couldn't help but see as a rather inappropriate -at best- position.
"Can this work?"
"I... you... Suzuran, you ok?"
"Ah, yes, this isn't... I-I mean, this is... fine"
... the egg, Sussurro. Let's get rid of the egg first.
She shifted her focus back, gave Suzuran another warning and resumed pushing the speculum in, hoping the size wouldn't be overly uncomfortable for her.
"Here, morsel, here" Lappland whispered from atop her, their faces as close as they could be without actually touching "Look at me. It's all fine, ok?"
"It feels... cold and... weird... "
"Hey, hey, you've had worse. And we got a professional here too, nothing to worry about. We'll be laughing about this whole thing tomorrow"
"I think you will be the only one laughing about this, miss Lappland... "
"Well, I'll make sure to put in your share too then"
"... eh"
"How are you feeling?" Sussurro chimed in, hearing their conversation but not quite making out their whispers.
"I'm fine"
"Tell me if you feel any pain, it's for the better"
"No, it's... it's quite uncomfortable, but it doesn't hurt"
"Alright. I'll open it a little bit now"
A deep breath.
"Ok"
Then Suzuran noticed Lappland's smile growing wider. Before she could ask anything, however, the lupo simply shoved her thumbs into the young vulpo's mouth, stretching her cheeks and running her digits over her teeth just as her little body jolted, the odd feeling of her inner walls being pried open taking her by surprise despite the warning. A weird sound left her mouth.
"What was that?" Sussurro asked as she lifted her gaze, Lappland's coat being just long enough to prevent her from seeing what was going on from her position.
"N-nothing, I was just startled" she replied, the lupo kindly taking her fingers out of her mouth to let her answer.
"Alright then. I have to open it a little more to see the egg, can you bear with it?"
"Yeah, she can"
"I wasn't asking you"
"I-I think I can"
"... ok then"
Lappland pushed her thumb and index back inside Suzuran's mouth while cupping her cheek with her other hand, the little vulpo biting down softly on the lupo's fingers to keep her voice at least somewhat under control, the odd feeling in her privates sending cold jolts and warm tingles up her spine, causing her tails to flutter around a bit. In a certain sense, it was a wonder how she was still managing to keep them out of Sussurro's way.
"Ok, I've seen it. I'll take the speculum out now, ok?"
"Y-yesh"
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"Absolutely!"
... let's just wrap this up quickly and worry about the rest later.
The extraction went much more smoothly than the insertion, though a couple of, shall we say, somewhat suggestive vocalizations from Suzuran caused Sussurro's ears to twitch wildly. The short doctor stood up, dropped the speculum in an empty, clean basket, and threw her gloves away too because her sweating had made them unbearably sticky. The egg's surface seemed rather rough, and there were several bumps on it. No sharp edges of any kind though, which was an huge positive. Still, it was a little bit bigger than she had expected. And a quick look through the office confirmed what she already knew: she had no instrument readily aviable to grab it and pull it out. She'd have to do it by hand.
Breathe, Sussurro, breathe. This is just an almost standard procedure.
She opened a drawer as well, looking for some pills. As it turned out, however, what few heat suppressants they had stored in that office were gone. Ran out just that afternoon, according to the reports. Not surprising, they didn't have many in the first place there, but the timing was truly unfortunate. Now, the pills wouldn't have been for Suzuran. Suppressing the first two to three cycles would have likely led to chronic hormonal imbalance down the years, and even after that it was advised to let at least one cycle every four make its course naturally to prevent complications from arising. No, those pills would've been for Sussurro herself, because she was starting to have trouble keeping her thoughts in check.
So she took a few long, deep breaths while she was relatively far away from Suzuran's overbearing scent. And then she slapped herself. Pretty hard too, enough to startle Suzuran and get Lappland to stand on her knees and turn around.
"Ohy, pipsqueak, what was that?"
"Miss Lappland, it's not polite to call someone pipsqueak... "
"Fine, fine. Ohy, slightly more meaty morsel, what was that?"
"M-miss Lappland!"
"Now you're just being difficult, morsel"
"C... " Sussurro began to speak, only to stop herself at the last moment.
She was about to tell them to cut it out, but that kind of banter did seem to ease Suzuran's nervousness somewhat, so it was probably better to let it continue.
"It was nothing" she declared as she put another pair of gloves on and walked back to her position "Now, Suzuran. I have to... well, to pull the egg out now. I took the speculum out because I couldn't get there with it in the way, but this will probably feel... a bit worse than that. It shouldn't hurt, but if it does tell me right away"
Suzuran swallowed. Lappland shot her a wide smirk. She swallowed again, and reached for the lupo's hand, holding it tight and close. The woman fell back on all fours on top of her, though this time she leaned over the vulpo's large ears rather than right above her face. They were still looking at each other, they just had to adjust their gazes a little.
"I'm ready"
"... ok. Here I go"
She closed her hand. Not into a fist, that was more of a beak shape of sort. And then, without using any kind of lube, partially because Suzuran was already lubricated more than enough by natural means and partially because Sussurro's mind was getting foggier by the minute, she pushed her fingertips inside.
Suzuran's hips jolted, but Lappland's body was holding her mostly in place. Sussurro blocked out the younger vulpo's vocalizations, only to let them right back in as she reminded herself that she had to listen in case she had anything to notify. And so she pushed her hand a little bit further in, and then another bit more, a slow but steady motion.
She could feel Suzuran clamping down on her fingers, so much so that she stopped before she could get her knuckles in.
"How are you feeling?"
"Good?" Lappland chimed in.
"Ye -ah- awawawaaaaaa!"
"Por- " Sussuro nearly sweared in siracusan, barely stopping herself in time "Lappland, shut up!"
"She said she's feeling good, keep going"
"Please, don't mention that... " Suzuran said, or rather whispered, covering her hopelessly blushing face with her free hand, her other one holding Lappland with all the strength she could muster.
Sussurro sighed. Twice. Then she shook her head again, took a long breath with her mouth and pushed her hand further in, Suzuran's insides offering more resistance than she had hoped for, making her proceed slowly for fear of causing any damage. Her gaze was glued to the ground, somewhat of an attempt at keeping her thoughts in check, her breath heavy and her skin covered in sweat.
"You ok?" Lappland whispered quite literally into Suzuran's ear as she leaned down on it.
"Can I... not answer that?" she whispered back, their voices just barely reaching Sussurro, who on her part was too busy with her own problems to try and actually listen on.
"That's a yes coming from you. Hey" she added as she pulled the sleeve of her coat up "Here. The usual"
Suzuran's cheeks somehow grew even redder as the lupo presented her her arm, several bite marks clearly visible on it. Suzuran's bite marks. All kind of memories flashed before her eyes, most of them as pleasant as they were embarassing, not to mention awkward. Confusing too, to tell the whole truth. Her tails would've began to wave wildly, had they not been doing so already from the hand being inserted into her soaked privates.
Hand that suddenly slid a bit further in all at once, probably because Sussurro had managed to get her wrist in. Out of sheer reflex, Suzuran lunged forward and sank her tiny, not really harmless fangs into Lappland's arm to silence herself, her body jolting as a bolt of warm pleasure shot through her. Sussurro saw her body tremble beneath Lappland, but figured that was a rather normal reaction given what the current situation was and paid it no mind. The lupo, on her part, made no sound even as Suzuran's teeth sank into her skin and flesh, delighting her with the promise of soon drawing blood.
Ah, how lovely she was when she acted like that.
So much so that Lappland leaned down and bit her ear in return, gently taking the thin tissue in her mouth, softly grinding her teeth over it while taking long, deep sniffs of her scent, the cool fur tickling her cheeks from within. Suzuran nearly shrieked, her own fangs sinking just a bit deeper into Lappland as the nimbling on her ear sent her heart racing even faster, the tingling between her legs growing in intensity. Then Lappland brought her free hand up, to Suzuran's other ear, and began to softly rub her head behind it, an entirely different kind of warmth making its way through her body and all the way into her very mind, putting her somewhat at ease admittedly.
Had she been in her right state of mind, Sussurro would've noticed something odd was going on above the table, right next to her. But Suzuran's overbearing aroma was preventing her from thinking straight, so much so that she ended up repeatedly scolding herself for enjoying the feeling of Suzuran's insides clamping down and contracting around her arm as she slowly pushed it forward, inside.
Given the situation, her being so petite was actually a blessing, there's no way she could've just pushed her arm inside Suzuran otherwise. But that thought didn't quite make it to her conscious mind, staying buried somewhere in her subconscious instead.
She took another breath, almost with her nose by mistake, and kept slowly sliding her hand forward. The distance to cover was, by all means, not long at all, except perhaps relatively speaking, but she was finding it quite hard to proceed. Partially due to Suzuran's vocalizations, which she could only interpret as -no, she didn't want to interpret them at all so long as they weren't clear indicators that she was in pain-, partially because she was afraid moving too quickly might cause some tearing, and partially for another reason she would come to realize existed in a very short while.
Her own breathing growing heavier and heavier, her tail swaying not quite wildly but nearly so, Sussurro briefly looked up. Lappland's coat wasn't that long, just enough to block Sussurro's sight of whatever the two might be doing on the table given that Sussurro was half crounching in front of it and the coat itself had been tucked up between the two, right above Suzuran's rolled up skirt. What really surprised her was that the lupo had seemingly been considerate enough to keep her tail tucked up into said coat to avoid slamming it into Sussurro's face.
"Suzuran, I have to open my hand a bit to grab the egg now"
A brief sequence of muffled sounds were the unintelligible reply she received, quickly followed by what sounded like a sudden, deep breath from Suzuran. Almost as if she'd been holding her breath until then. Which was... actually not that weird, Sussurro figured.
"A-alright! P... please, be gentle... "
"I'll do my best. Make sure to tell me if it hurts though"
"Yes!"
Outside of the doctor's field of view, Lappland offered her arm to Suzuran again, the little vulpo looking at it with deeply mixed feelings clearly showing on her face. Then she felt Sussurro's fingers spreading open a bit inside of her, pushing against her inner walls even further, causing the feeling of fullness to grow to an honestly somewhat uncomfortable level. A moan escaped her lips, not even a soft one, and Lappland's lips curled up into a sharp, cold yet searing smile that made her feel even more flustered, even more excited and confused and anxious.
Then Sussurro opened her fingers just a little bit more as she pushed her hand forward, just enough to grasp the egg. And she felt Suzuran's whole body tense up, her insides contracting and pulsing with enough force to make her fear, if only for half of a second, the egg might get crushed. Even her tails had grown stiff for a few moments, after which they fell to the ground. Hadn't she gone back to nibbling on her ear, Lappland would've laughed.
As for Sussurro, she made a point to not mention Suzuran's orgasm at all, pretending it never happened instead. Both for the young vulpo's sake and for her own. She began to pull the egg back instead, an unsurprisingly more difficult procedure. Even closed, her hand was already pushing it in terms of what Suzuran could physically take, her hand grasping an egg, relatively small as it might've been, was definitively a bit too much.
A new scent suddenly reached her nose. It was a familiar one, but she couldn't quite make it out through Suzuran's thick aroma. And Lappland chuckled too, which didn't ease her worries at all.
"Is everything fine over there?"
"As fine as it can be" the lupo replied, seemingly deeply amused by something "Keep going"
"I'd rather hear that from Suzuran"
A brief pause.
"I-I'm fine! I mean... almost... kind of... ? Please, go... slowly... "
"... sure"
Sussurro took another deep breath. And, arguably, that's when things really took a turn for the worse.
Because she accidentally inhaled with her nose.
The full force of Suzuran's abnormally strong pheromones hit her nerves with the gentleness of an avalanche and the reasonability of an angry mob, her vision blurring for a few moments as goosebumps ran all over her skin, leaving a warm tingle behind. She began to sweat even more, her breaths now ragged as if she'd just run a few kilometers. Then her whole body trembled, and by the sound of it Suzuran felt it too through the arm partially buried inside her. That muffled moan did very little in the way of helping Sussurro control herself. Actually, if had the opposite effect, her mind straying to improper places instead.
No, no, no, hold on, stop. Stop. Calm down. Breathe. With the mouth this time. Breathe. In. Out. In. Out. Relax. This is... alright, something about Suzuran's estrus wasn't normal, she couldn't really deny it anymore at that point. Maybe it had to do with her bloodline, maybe not, she'd think about it later.
... the egg, right. Just pull out the egg andghsawa?!
Something between a shriek and a moan suddenly forced its way out of Sussurro's throat, and the medic looked down to find her own hand had snuck past her skirt, her pantyhose and even her underwear, a grand total of three digits having buried themselves inside her soaked privates.
"M-miss Sussurro?! Did something happen?" Suzuran asked, now clearly worried.
"Oh, I'm sure something did" Lappland said with a knowning chuckle.
"Be quiet, both of you. It... was nothing" she said, more to herself than to them as she dragged her fingers out of her privates, finding them drenched.
Damn it...
She resumed pulling the egg back, which in turn made Suzuran resume squirming and shaking a little. It kind of sounded like she had something in her mouth to silence herself, but Sussurro was too out of it to actually notice, her ears twitching with every muted moan the younger vulpo let out, with every jolt of her hips, with every drop of sweat running down her own skin. The procedure didn't actually last that long, but out of the three of them Lappland was probably the only one who didn't feel like entire an entire hour had gone by.
"It's almost out" the doctor eventually announced.
Suzuran didn't quite reply, Lappland saying that she was ready instead. Under pretty much any other circumstances, Sussurro wouldn't have listened to her. But between her foggy mind, her aching nethers and Suzuran's evident horn- exhaustion, she just took her word for it.
And pulled out.
Sussurro didn't bother asking herself why Lappland let out a laugh when her hand popped out of Suzuran, drenched in her sexual fluids and in something else, a slightly mucous substance covering the egg. Now that she could take a good look at it, she found it smaller than she had always thought gloompincers' eggs to be. Not that she had ever really thought about it in the first place though.
"O-ok, Suzuran, it's... "
Her words died in her mouth as her gaze fell back to the young vulpo, who was clearly going through another orgasm, her tails waving wildly before coming to a sudden stop, her legs twitching as much -little- as they could beneath Lappland.
At that point, something inside Sussurro definitively snapped. With the egg still in her palm, she placed her free hand between her legs and rested her mouth against Suzuran's privates.
"Hey, hey, you're really feeling it, ain't you?" Lappland whispered with a chuckle, her canines having sunk just enough into the vulpo's ear to draw a few drops of blood which she promptly lapped up with her tongue, each touch sending chills down Suzuran's spine.
As for Suzuran herself, she was still holding on to Lappland while biting down on her arm, with so much strength all her teeth had sunk into the lupo's arm, an honestly somewhat alarming amount of blood pouring out onto the table and, mostly, on Suzuran herself. She was, however, drinking a fair bit of it. An habit she had taken from Lappland herself, one could say. The ferrous taste was rousing primal, conflicting emotions deep within her, making it even more difficult to think straight.
"Now open up, morsel" she whispered, her words echoing right into Suzuran's ears, a sweet and addicting noise that put her on edge and at ease at the same time, the lupo's soft caresses on the back of her head sending a warm, fuzzy feeling down her spine.
Her grip on Lappland growing tighter, Suzuran managed to open her mouth while somehow still holding her voice in, her mind too overwhelmed to even realize that Sussurro had started licking her privates. Blood dripped from her little teeth, and Lappland brought her arm up to her own lips, running her tongue over the fresh injury, lapping up her own blood and Suzuran's saliva.
She'd have to medicate that one later, but she was already prepared for that. It wasn't their first time, after all. Besides, she'd had much worse injuries in the past and lived through them just fine.
"So, morsel, like the taste?" she whispered, her eyes fixed on the little, shaking vulpo beneath her, who in turn was unable to avert her gaze.
Suzuran opened her mouth to speak but, between the confusion in her head, the stimulation between her legs and her heat in general, the only thing that managed to leave her lips were muffled moans.
"'lright, let me have some too"
And with those words Lappland adjusted her position a bit and leaned down, her lips coming in contact with Suzuran's own with surprising gentleness and unsatiable thirst, not really kissing but rather ravaging the little vulpo's mouth and lips and tongue and cheeks, the lupo's blood swirling and mixing with their saliva as Suzuran found herself reciprocating in what little ways she could, her little arms wrapping around Lappland in search of support, of something fixed as everything both around and inside her twisted and turned like a storm.
The lupo then began to run her hands all over Suzuran. Her soft fur, her thin arms, her shaking shoulders, her puffy cheeks, her tails which had been putting on a little too much weight lately to be honest but Lappland didn't really care because that made her even more pleasant to the touch oh it sure did, her waist, her tummy, her chest, everywhere, and wherever the lupo's fingers and palms touched, Suzuran felt wamr chills running through her.
Then Lappland traced her lips down, parting from the vulpo's mouth and tracing a line of soft bites on her skin, all the way to her neck, her fangs pushing down against her skin just enough to make Suzuran tremble.
"You're soft, morsel" she whispered, the little vulpo trembling and moaning every time the lupo's breath hit her "You're so soft and frail, you know" she lulled her through the fog as she fully relished in her intoxicating scent "So amusingly lovely"
She sank her teeth a bit deeper, her canines nearly tearing through the skin, her hands still roaming all over to feel Suzuran shake and tremble and quiver as Sussurro kept licking her privates. Lappland couldn't help but imagine what it would feel like to snap Suzuran, to tear her apart, her little morsel, to break her down and feast on the pieces. And yet she couldn't allow herself to, no. She'd have to wait, to wait and see just how much tastier she could get, she would get.
Lappland wasn't really sure she had that much time herself, in truth, but... who knows, that might turn out to be worth putting herself through some proper care too.
"L-Lappland, I... "
"Sshhh" she silenced her with another touch of her lips, the two kissing just as much as they were biting each other, just when another orgasm began to take over Suzuran.
Sussurro had kept tasting her the whole time, the young vulpo's scent intense enough to make the doctor forget all about the situation, her duties and even who exactly she was savoring. All she could remember was the aroma emanating from that body, the heavenly taste of her sweat, of her juices, the lovely contractions of her muscles whenever Sussurro ran her tongue over the stiff clit, the muffled sounds coming from somewhere outside of her field of view. And through all that Sussurro kept touching herself too, her hand buried deep inside her clothes, her fingers curled up inside herself, her thumb poking and rubbing against her clit, every touch making her broken breaths even heavier, her pleasure mixing up with everything else to compel her to continue. Moreso than her own body, however, what really filled her with ecstasy were the reactions caused by her tongue, by her long strokes along that soaked entrance. To get even more of them, of that scent, of that taste, she eventually pushed her tongue inside, as deep as she could, and that apparently set the other person -whose name Sussurro couldn't quite recall- off, her insides clamping down and contracting around her tongue, her scent growing stronger for a brief moment, just enough to get Sussurro over the edge as well, her mind fully blanking out as her mind was assaulted by pleasure both internal and external, her already hazy thoughts coming to a complete halt the same way her body stopped moving.
When she came back to her senses, Sussurro found herself sitting on the floor, one hand soaked in fluids, the other too but also holding an egg, her mouth and chin drenched as well. A chuckle then reached her ears, an enthusiastic and honestly rather annoying laugh that made her ears twitch.
... hold on. What did I just... oh... oh, ca-
Stopping herself from fully forming out siracusan profanities in her mind, the short vulpo jumped to her feet and ran around the table. She wasn't really sure what she was expecting to see, but the spectacle in front of her still managed to leave her at a loss of words. Starting from the most minor thing she noticed, Lappland had one sleeve rolled up to her elbow. And her arm was covered in bite marks, somewhat old ones too. Except for one so fresh it was still bleeding, and pretty profusely at that. Oh, so that's what that smell she had caught earlier was. As for the blood, it was all over Suzuran's lips and cheeks, a good amount of it having even trailed down along her chin and onto her neck. Some had even stained her clothes a bit. Lappland's lips were dirty with it as well, which only heightened Sussurro's confusion.
"W... what were you two even... "
"Oh, hey pipsqueak. Done with the treatment I see, nice. With the tasting too" she added with an horrifically sharp smirk.
"T-that was just... actually!" the doctor changed the subject, unable to defend herself in any way "Suzuran! How are you feeling?"
"I'm... fine, thanks... just a... aaahhh... a bit tired... i-is the... egg out?"
"Yes, it's all done now. You, uh, you can put your clothes back on" she said as she turned her head around, the scent still making her dizzy but a mixture of embarassment and guilt keeping her thoughts relatively clear despite its intensity.
"Oh, I'll be taking this" Lappland suddenly said as she snatched the egg and hopped off the table.
"H-hey!"
"What? Do you have any plans for it?" she asked back as she strolled to her backpack, which Sussurro had completely forgotten about to tell the truth.
"Well, no, but... "
She wasn't really sure where to start. Why exactly Suzuran had turned to Lappland of all people to go visit the gloompincers' pen, what in the world happened on the table while she wasn't paying attention, why Lappland had so many bite marks on her arm, why those marks had exactly the size of Suzuran's mouth, the fact that she was positively wounded and needed treatment, how the hell she was going to apologize to Suzuran for what she did after having pulled the egg out, and so on. Seeing Lappland pull a portable stove, a pan and a few ingredients out of the backpack did very little in the way of helping her sort out her thoughts. Ingredients which included other eggs, the nature and origin of which Sussurro didn't dare inquire about.
"... what?"
"Oh, miss Lappland is really good at cooking" Suzuran chimed in as she got off the table and fixed her clothes, still short on breath but not terribly so "But, ehm... I don't think you should cook in here, miss Lappland"
"Don't worry, morsel, this won't take long at all"
"No, no, she's right, you absolutely can't!" Sussurro shouted "Oh, and these are for you. Take one right away and another tomorrow after dinner, to make sure you don't get any infection... down there" she added as she briefly turned towards Suzuran to handle her a small pill box.
"Come on, we're all partners in crime here, relax a bit"
"Partn- !"
Sussurro wanted to say something else, but the words just wouldn't make it out of her throat. Lappland was... kind of right, in a sense. Suzuran might've just gotten her first estrus, yeah, but that really didn't justify Sussurro's actions. Nor Lappland's, for that matter.
Then the inner door of the office opened, and someone Sussurro had completely forgotten about walked in.
"Ehm... did something happen here?" Tomimi asked, a basket with six or so eggs in her hands.
The nose of an archosauria wasn't as sensitive as that of a lupo, let alone that of a vulpo, but the scent filling the room was so strong even Tomimi flinched a little when it hit her nostrils, a faint redness appearing on her face. Then her gaze fell to the table, with all kind of fluids -blood included- covering it. Then it trailed to Suzuran, who was blushing madly, to Sussurro, who looked equally upset, angry, bothered and confused, and at last to Lappland, who was in the middle of cooking something. And they were all covered to some degree in fluids.
It was a good thing she'd seen a fair share of... let's say wild things, growing up in the jungles of Sargon, otherwise she might've reacted somewhat badly to such a sight.
"... hey. Now this is just perfect. Are those yours?" Lappland asked Tomimi, her hand pointing to the eggs.
"Oh, yes"
"Mind if I take them?"
"... for what?" she asked back, not really as surprised by the question as one might expect.
"I'm making a frittata. Could use more eggs though, we're quite a bunch here"
"What's a frittata?"
"It's basically scrambled eggs" Suzuran chimed in "It's a siracusan dish"
"Oh, sure then. But can I have some? I was going to eat them anyway"
"Great!"
Sussurro fell to her knees, and Suzuran hurried over to her side while Lappland busied herself with grated cheese, pepper, sliced bacon, a bit of mozzarella and even a second pan to make two types of dishes instead of putting everything into a single dish.
"M-miss Sussurro, is something wrong?"
"Just... "
The doctor's gaze trailed off, wandering to the clock hanged on the wall. Her shift was almost over. She was tired. Confused. She had to clean the place up. Probably stitch up Lappland's arm too. And, honestly, she was also hungry.
She'd think about how to deal with everything later. Once Lappland was done cooking and they were done eating. Once Tomimi had been told to keep what she'd seen to herself and got sent back to her room. Once Suzuran had jumped back into the duffel bag and Lappland strolled away with both the little vulpo and the portable kitchen on her back.
"... can I have a bite too?"
"O-of course!" Suzuran replied with one of her usual, warm smiles.
And, somehow, the room seemed to get just a little bit brighter thanks to that.
Thank you for reading.
