"Who the hell!? Wait... are you... are you the mother?" I don't even care enough to give an answer to that.
"Melina, Roana, grab Anduda and move them back." I steady myself as they grab my brother and pull him... her? away.
"Look I'm... I'm really sorr-"
"Shut up..." I send a wind blade at her, which she barely dodges.
"Hey, please, really I-"
"I told you to shut up."
I cast another few wind blades, she dodges a few, but the others cut her arms and legs shallowly. She staggers slightly but quickly pulls herself back up as she tries to run. I put a magic shield in front of her, making her slam into it and fall on her ass. I take a few steps towards her as she turns around to face me.
"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I won't do it again I swear!" You are getting annoying.
"I told you... to shut up!" I bind her with glowing yellow chains appearing from thin air, restraining her broken wrist and one of her legs. I continue to walk towards her, her face covered in fear. Good...
She raises her hand, sending a glowing blue blade my way. It collides with my shoulder and shatters, her eyes going wider than before as tears start to form.
"Stay back!" She yells, trying to tug at the chains. I cast a copy of her spell, sending it into her shoulder like she tried to do to me, skewering her as she screams in pain. Suffer more for me.
As I close in, Leo runs in and stops in front of me, "Camaella! Stop! That's enough!"
"Get out of my way Leo."
"No, Camaella, you need to calm down!"
"Leo, move!" Don't make me move you myself!
"You are going to kill her if you go any further, stop!"
"That was the plan from the start! So move, Leo!"
"Camaella, I know you don't actually want that blood on your hands, just calm down and let us handle it."
"Leo! Get out of my way! I'm not-" My brain screeches to a halt, my heartrate falling, my blood pressure dropping, and my eyes un-focusing. "Melina... sto... stop... let... let me..." I lean back as my legs start to give out, being held up by someone behind me. "I... I can't... let... her... go..." Melina's face comes into my blurry vision.
"Calm down Camaella. Once I feel as though you are in sound mind again, I will stop."
"Just... let me... go... I... have to..."
"No, you are going too far."
"Fine..." I let myself fully relax. Some time later she stops rubbing my horns. A few moments later my senses start to come back to me. I blink a few times, getting my vision back. I look over to Leo and Inglis holding the woman from before in custody as a few guards walk up and start talking to Leo. I look behind me to see Zorae helping me stand, Melina standing next to me.
"Are you better now?" Melina asks.
"Y-yeah... I think so..." I was... actually about to kill them... "Thank you... for stopping me." I say as I look to the floor.
"As long as you aren't planning on killing her anymore, no problem." She says with a smile. I take a quickly glance around and find my brother and Roana talking while sitting on the ring around the center statue.
"Hey, um... Zorae? Can you take me over to Roana and my brother?"
"Yeah."
We walk over, Zorae sitting me down next to my brother.
"Well, long time no talk." I say, looking down at him... her?
"Yeah, and your character looks sexy as hell in person."
"Oh shut up you little shit." I say as I bring him into a hug. "I always wanted a little sister."
"Oh fuck off!"
"Whaaat? You're cuter this way." I smirk as he looks up from between my breasts.
"I'm going to beat your ass."
"Oh? Are you now? I'd like to see you try."
He squirms but isn't able to get out of my hug.
"See?" You are like, level 20 dude, you aren't going to be able to do anything to me.
"I don't like this..."
"I sure do." I release him for now, I'm definitely going to tease him more about this later though. "Anyway, it really is good to see you again, even if it isn't your real body."
"Yeah, same to you."
"So, 'Anduda', how has your time been so far?"
"Except for when I first got here? Pretty good actually, 'Camaella'." They chuckle.
"Oh, should probably tell you, people refer to me as female so you should probably do the same, I don't really want to get any odd looks from people when you call me him or brother." I scratch my cheek, kind of hoping he understands without trying to tease me too much.
"I understand, no guarantees I won't slip up though." That was... easier than expected.
"Alright, are you fine with the same?" Might as well ask.
"I uh... I guess? People have already been referring to me as female so far and I just didn't care to correct them... well I guess they are correct? Man that's weird to think about..."
"You'll get used to it... People have called me it so much lately I think it would be weird if they called me 'he' now..." Hmm... that's a weird thought.
"You seem to still think of yourself as a guy from the conversation in the bathhouse." Melina says.
"What people call me versus how I feel is completely different, and I am more worried about making you guys uncomfortable, I already said that."
"I seem to specifically remember you blushing your heart out when you first saw me naked." Melina hums, causing my face to heat up again.
"Don't remind me of that please, I still feel like a creep for going in there."
"Jesus christ how many times do we have to tell you, it's not a big deal. You are female, and you act female enough. So, 'looks female enough' applies."
"I... fine..."
"Hehehe, so you went into the-" I start rubbing her horns, her face softens as she starts to stare through me.
"I see why you like doing this so much Melina." I smirk as I look over to her, making her giggle. I wonder if this is how all dragonkin feel when their horns are rubbed, or if it is just those who were players...
I stop rubbing them, and she almost falls on me for a second. I hold her up, a few seconds later she blinks a few times, her eyes focusing back on me.
"Huh? What happened?" She asks, I chuckle.
"What do you mean?" I say.
"Did... did you do what Melina did to you earlier?"
"Maybe?" I smirk.
"You... You asshole! Let me get you back!" She reaches up and tries to rub my horns, I push her shoulders back to make sure my horns are out of range. "Let, me, do, it!"
"You really do act like a little sister." Melina says, causing Anduda to snap over to her.
"I do not! I am the older brother here!"
"Not with that face you're not!" Roana says while laughing.
"God damnit!" She crosses her arms are looks away from us. Nice, I get to see my older brother pout as a dragon girl...
"At least I didn't touch your tail."
"What do you mean?" They ask, tilting their head.
"Do you want me to show you what I mean?" I ask, just to make sure, I am not going to touch their tail without them letting me because I know how much it sucks.
"Um... Yeah? I don't see-eeeeaaaahhhh! Stop! Stop!" The second I brush my hand against it she shivers and pulls away, putting their tail as far from me as they can.
"Do you understand now?"
"Mhm!" They nod quickly. "Please don't do that again!"
"I won't..." You really seem like a little sister acting like that... Did it change your personality more than just bodily? Or is this a thing with not talking to you for over 2 years...
"Alright, well." Leo says. "Lets get back to the guild hall so we can get some sleep. We don't really have much more room for a bed so you can sleep with Camaella and I tonight." He says to Anduda.
"Wait, with you two?"
"Yeah, we have to share a bed because there is not a whole lot of room." I say, "Don't worry, we won't to anything naughty while you are there."
"Don't treat me like a child!"
"Well, you kind of look like one to me right now..." I chuckle. You are a lot smaller than me.
"Why did I agree to make a dragonkin alongside you..." She rubs her temples.
"At least you didn't do what most other men did with smaller characters." Melina says.
"What did they do?"
"Breasts and ass big, body small." Melina shrugs.
"Oh... Oh that would have been bad... That sounds like it would be a pain to move around and I can't even imagine the staring from other people..." She shivers.
"And, that thing that happened earlier wouldn't been about that type of 'labor'." Roana says clicking her tongue.
"Wait wh-... Oh..."
"Yeah..." I say.
"Alright well, we should get going." Leo says, helping me up.
"Yeah..." Anduda hops off the small brick wall and almost trips and falls, making me chuckle a little.
"God damnit, being this much shorter sucks, I keep overjudging how far my limbs will reach..."
"I understand how you feel, just kind of opposite." I giggle a little.
We walk back to the guild, Anduda having to pick up their pace multiple times so they don't fall behind. Thankfully, Melina has been watching over them. I'll have to thank them later. Roana and Inglis broke off to head to the inn they paid for. We head up the stairs of the guild, Anduda tripping a few times on the stairs before Melina picks them up and carries them up the stairs.
"Hey! I don't need you to carry me!" She says trying to worm herself out of Melina's grasp, failing at doing so. Thank you for this amazing comedy skit that stars my brother...
"Just let me carry you so you don't hurt yourself."
"I don't need to be babied, I'm a grown ass man!"
"You keep flailing like that and I'll rub your horns till you fall asleep for tonight."
"Don't threaten me damnit! I will not be-" Melina starts rubbing one of her horns while adjusting her hold. I start to laugh as we reach the top of the stairs.
"What did you do before we got put here?" I ask Melina, as I am really curious with how she treats other people.
"Oh, I was a caretaker at a hospital, I have dealt with all ages so." She shrugs.
"That makes sense. You are really good with people."
We walk into the room, Melina walking over to the couch and setting Anduda down, stopping her rubbing.
"I hope I didn't actually put her to sleep, I just wanted to get her to stop complaining. Everyone needs some sort of help right now, complaining about it just makes it worse."
Leo walks me over to the couch and set me next to Anduda, I get an idea and pull her on top of me while I lay down, holding her close. A few minutes later she starts to shift, shaking her head and blinking a few times before looking up to me.
"What are you doing?" They ask me.
"Just consoling my little sister after a scolding." I smirk, her face goes red.
"I am going to get back at you, I swear I will."
"Don't make me rub your horns for a second time, that would make three times today. And I will make sure that you fall asleep this time."
"No... I'm good." She looks to the side.
"Anyway," I sit up, letting her go as she gets up. "we should actually get some sleep, you are going to that dungeon with us tomorrow." I say with a smirk.
