Chapter 440 Beach Plans

"When are you going to come to visit my great island?!" Draconia demanded, and I shrugged.

"At some point, but it sounds like things are going well on your island," I said as Eliza, Nya, and Chili cuddled me from all angles.

"Ha! I don't think you would call that circus going well! Why don't you tell Galio what you girl Dragons actually do? Since everything is going so well for you?" Titania asked, and I lifted an eyebrow.

"Shut your mouth, Fae! Fight me if you are so smart!" Draconia snapped, and I sighed.

"Let's try not to go for the throat with every comment that you girls make. I know things aren't going to go smoothly at first, but do you really need to be so hostile? We are all here to help each other, so let's try to be a bit more understanding," I said, and everyone nodded.

"You're right, Galio. We can't just be snippy with each other; that won't get anything done," Eliza said softly, and I patted her head.

"Exactly. So now, let's talk about what we are going to do tomorrow. I think everyone could use a break and some fun in the sun," I said, and everyone cheered.

"Oh! We get to wear bathing suits, Nya~?!" The Cat Goddess exclaimed, and Eliza jumped out of my lap with excitement.

"Yes! We should have Galio judge who had the best one!" Eliza exclaimed, but I shook my head no and sliced the air with both hands.

"No contest. I am not going to get berated by the women I love about not picking them. You are all stunningly beautiful, so I think that it would just be better to enjoy the day!" I said, and Eliza sighed.

"You are far too thoughtful, but that is fine. Maybe we can have a fire and cook food over it?" Eliza suggested, and Orchalla slammed her fist into her hand.

"Yes! That would be good! We should play games! O'Lee, is Sand Ball a good one?" Orchalla asked O'Lee, who seemed to be lost in thought.

The normal Orc woman looked up at Orchalla and then at me. "Sand Ball is not for everyone," She said, and then turned her head to look off into the distance again.

"O'Lee is just in deep thinking. We talked, and She told me of her desires. I told her to toss traditions, but she is Orc. They still see the fun in it all or the need, but I can't say it is wrong because Orc are plenty, even if Mating Ritual is ridiculous. O'Lee is pondering those words, so she will be busy for the next month. Orcs are bad at decisions you can't eat or punch," Orchalla said with a shrug, but I already knew that with my people of time spent with her, living in either Orc worlds or worlds with Orcs.

"Then we should do something else. I know! We can do a scavenger hunt! That would be fun for everyone," Eliza said, and I nodded.

"Yes! A scavenger hunt is a great idea. We could make it into a competition too!" I said, and everyone's eyes lit up with excitement.

We started planning the scavenger hunt, and soon everyone was talking and laughing. It seemed that we had enough spirit to do this, so I saw no reason not to go through with it.

This went on for a while, but as it started to get later, people started to leave until I was saying my goodbyes to Nya and Chili, who asked to go and spend the night. I laughed and said she was allowed to go wherever she wanted, but Chili shook her with her hands clamped together, making her tail swing behind her.

After hugging and saying our goodbyes, Eliza and I walked to her room but again went to Morgana's instead, knocking on the door. The Lich Queen called for us to enter, and she put her book down when we came in.

"You two have come back? I assumed that you were too busy, but it must be late for you both now, isn't it?" Morgana asked as Eliza yawned.

"Oh, I am not coming with you two, and Galio doesn't need sleep. He just likes to be lazy," Eliza giggled and then squealed as I tickled her and kissed her cheek.

"I resent that," I growled playfully, and Eliza broke free, sticking her tongue out at me.

"I'm going to bed now," Eliza said, and Morgana nodded.

"Alright then, I'll see you tomorrow," Morgana said, and Eliza left the two of us alone in the room.

"So, where would you like to go? I am sorry that we were so late getting here, but I am sure you don't mind the evening, right?" I asked, and the Lich Queen smiled at me.

"I do find the moonlight much more soothing than the sunlight, so this is actually preferred, but I didn't know that you didn't sleep," Morgana replied, and I smiled as I came over to sit on the bed with her.

"I don't need to sleep, not that I don't like it. I actually really enjoy sleeping cuddled up with you girls. That is the best for me, and I also like sleeping; one of the few times when no one needs anything," I laughed, but it was not far from the truth. Life was almost always about someone needing something for me, but I didn't mind it, yet that's what made sleeping special to me.

"Hmm, well, I am not really sure where to go. I don't really know if I want to walk through the city yet, but maybe a dark forest or stroll through some desolate lands?" Morgana asked hopefully, and I nodded.

"That does sound like a you thing, but I like that. As for the scary forest, I think that I might have a place we could go visit, but it might bring back some hard memories," I suggested, and Morgana looked at me questioningly.

"What do you mean? If you are talking about the other side of the south wall, then I don't mind. I spent countless years there stuck under a spell that I could only briefly come out of, so I never really went to explore the landscape. I supposed that it must look much different after you fought on it, right?" Morgana asked, and I laughed.
