~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: More than halfway to the border)~~~

~~~(Time: 6:15 PM)~~~

Jasmine is insisting that we stop and rest for the night now that we're miles from the snow and in a nice dry and cold forest. We can still knock a few miles off if we can continue, big if, though. "Hailey! I want to go to sleep for the night! Let's stop here and set up camp!" Yelling isn't going to help her cause. I'm not cruel. I'll have to relent this time.

We stop in our tracks, and she sees the displeased look on my face. She gives off a nervous laugh, trying to lighten the mood. "Sorry... I get pretty cranky when I'm tired... You know that already... Sooo... How about that tent?" The gritting of my teeth and deformed forced smile causes her to cringe. She takes a step back as I pull out the tent and blankets from my inventory.

She helps me set everything up, and she's the first to get in. The sun is setting, and the temperature is dropping even lower as it disappears. The magical heat provided by the tent helps me let go of my frustration, and the softness of the blankets brings comfort to my mind and body. I roll my ankles, and they pop. They aren't sore, just a habit.

Jasmine makes sure that I hear how comfortable she is with the continued release of sighs. All of them are of comfort and recovery. "I'm so glad that we're out of that damn snow, and we're even closer to the damn border city." That's something I can agree with. I'm glad that we're out of that horrendous weather. 

Even though I'm not really affected stamina-wise, it was becoming a large strain on my mind. Something drives me crazy, trudging through the snow like a machine. "We should be reaching our destination by late evening or night tomorrow. It'll be nice to see civilization again." The freedom and adventures I have are nice, but I still like being near population centers.

The city girl in me can't resist not being near some city for too long. LA was one of the biggest cities in the world, but it doesn't compare to some of the places here. "We're thinking the same thing. I'm looking forward to a nice hot shower or bath. I'm not smelling so great these days." We both share a laugh cause we're in the same situation.

My odor is not something to brag about. It hurts my pride as a lady to stink the way I do right now. It brings me some solace since I'm not the only one. NPC's don't like players for many reasons. One of the smaller ones is our stench. It's common because we spend large amounts of time in dungeons or on long and dirty trips. 

The last time I had a chance to clean myself was before I left for The City of James. My hair is so damn greasy. It makes me feel cheap and dirty. "I get first dibs on a shower!" I'm quick to lock in the first spot, and I was surprised to learn that the concept of dibs exists here. Jasmine darts her head up and glares at me. 

Snooze, you lose, sister. You can tell by her look she's thinking of something to say to disqualify my dibs, but it's perfectly fine in this situation. "Fine! You want it so bad you can take it! You smell worse than me anyway!" She immediately starts to cut deep with her words. I'm not actually getting hurt by them. We both know that it's in good fun.

~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~

~~~(Location: Back at the Inn)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:51 PM)~~~

The shower water runs down my body, washing the soap away. The activities that we indulged in on the canoe caused me to sweat. He's always so gentle... I love how he's never rough with me... It makes me feel safe... He can last so long, too, we had to stop. I couldn't go on anymore, and I feel bad cause it's like I wasn't able to satisfy him.

He wouldn't be thinking anything like this. He's not the type to have thoughts about who satisfies who. "It must be the difference in his strength and stamina compared to everyone else..." That's the only solution I can think of. Players are strange sometimes, but it's not all bad. The canoe ride lasted longer than I thought it would.

Most from us doing it, the isolation in the wilderness on the river made me feel like I could be as loud as I want. I didn't have to hold back my voice. I don't like being loud in an inn or near other people's homes... It makes me feel like they can hear me... I only want Cera to hear my voice and the sounds I make when we're together like that.

My fingers easily glide through my hair and wash the shampoo out. It's nice to have a private bathroom attached to the room we're staying in. "How's the water?" I jump a little at Cera's voice. I didn't even hear him come into the bathroom. "You were covered in a lot of sweat... The only sweat I got was from you." His teasing causes a flushed feeling on my face.

He wasn't extended to the point that he was sweating. I was sweating so much that I made him covered in my scent. "Whose fault do you think that is? I recall only wanting to go for a romantic canoe ride. You're the one who couldn't keep his hands to himself. Rubbing my thigh like that... Shame on you..." He peeks his head into the shower and grins at me.

~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Bathroom in the inn room)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:03 PM)~~~

She doesn't make an effort to cover her body. She turns her eyes away from mine as a rosy tint flushes her cheeks. "I seem to recall you describing your dream to me. Don't try to deny it. What we did on the canoe is what happened in your dream!" The teasing edge and abrupt acknowledgment of the real reason causes her to cover her face with her hands from embarrassment.

She spreads the fingers covering her eyes and looks at me with her blue and green eyes. "You don't have to talk about it... It's embarrassing... I've never had a dream like that before..." Those sweet words... They drive me crazy sometimes... Her first erotic dream with someone was with me. She's become so comfortable with me. She dreams about me in that way.

Now that I think about it, I'd like a shower myself. My equipment is instantly taken off and put in my inventory, and I step into the shower with her. She doesn't try to stop me, and as I stand in front of her with the water hitting my back. She lays her hands on my chest and steps forward. Leaning her head against it. She smells so fruity and nice.

The warmth and affection that I get from Sally isn't something I ever thought I'd get in my life. Many would call me a pathetic excuse for a man loving a supposed fictional and digital character. The people of Gaia aren't fictional and digital, not like we thought. "You mind helping me scrub your sweat off my body?" She looks up with a small grin.

She reaches over for the soap and glides it across my back. Stepping back and bringing the soap to the front, and scrubbing my chest and abs. "I love the way you feel, Cera... So rigid and strong..." The silky tone of her voice causes me to get a little more aroused than I planned. My member spings up and slaps her lower area.
