Dungeons and Dalliances

3.34 – Reward

Natalie hadn’t expected things to escalate like that. And seeing a dizzy-looking Liz, face coated in cum, Natalie actually wondered whether she should have protested more. She was the slightest bit worried Liz had been coerced into this by the dungeon’s machinations and her need for a weapon. At the same time, Liz’s eagerness hadn’t left much up to interpretation.

Natalie hadn’t expected her bubbly teammate to be so happy to jump into something like this. Sure, she’d gotten the sense Liz was into girls, and possibly even appreciated Natalie specifically—and she’d caught some glances toward the rest of the team too—but she’d always figured they were just that: appreciative glances, not real interest.

That idea had been dispelled in the past hour. Even better, Liz didn’t seem to mind the extra weaponry Natalie was sneaking around. The opposite, in fact. Liz had been enraptured from the moment she’d let it spring out from her pants.

“How are you?” Natalie asked, crouching down to check on her friend. It was a bit cute, and a bit compromising, how dizzy  and flushed Liz looked from the events prior. Natalie kind of wondered what using the saddle herself would be like.

“Think we can keep it?” Liz joked, turning amused eyes to Natalie, though still swaying slightly in her seat.

Natalie laughed. The awkwardness, at least, had burned away—though maybe not necessarily the blushing. Coming down from the event, it was hard to ignore what they’d just done. Especially with Liz’s face still coated in a layer of Natalie’s cum, droplets of white dripping down into the saddle from her chin. Natalie had really coated her.

“Guess it’s worth a shot,” Natalie said wryly. “Though I doubt a monster core will let us suck it up.”

Shakily, Liz unstrapped herself and stood with Natalie’s assistance. Liz wiped her left eye clear of Natalie’s cum—it’d been glued shut since the start.

“Let me help you with that,” Natalie said, jogging over to her backpack. Rummaging out a towel, she returned and helped get Liz’s face clean. Liz took over the effort with a canteen after Natalie had gotten the bulk of it.

“We can keep the toy, though, right?” Liz asked. “It’s not bolted down like the saddle.”

“Don’t think there’s anything special about it,” Natalie said, glancing at the well-used gel object.

“Nothing special?” Liz asked. “Those noises you were making said otherwise.”

Natalie coughed. “It feels good,” she clarified. “But it’s not magical, I’m pretty sure.”

“Still seems like it’s worth keeping.”

Natalie couldn’t argue that. Though the smirk Liz was sending her way was a bit too devious. Natalie almost got the impression that Liz wouldn’t mind helping her go a few more rounds with it.

Liz coughed, suddenly, some of her boldness fading.

“But, um, yeah,” Liz said. “I-I don’t regret it or anything, but that never happened, okay?”

Natalie paused.

“As in, to the rest of the team,” Liz said hurriedly. “I don’t think I want to— I don’t know. Is that fine?”

“Sure,” Natalie said.

“I just need to think about it,” Liz said, seeming vaguely distressed, but Natalie really wasn’t perturbed at the request. She agreed that Liz had been somewhat rushed into the event, and in an already compromised emotional state from the events of yesterday. That she didn’t regret how things had escalated was a huge burden off Natalie’s shoulders—if she wanted to not go shouting to the team that things had gone way past where they should’ve, she was totally fine with that.

“No problem,” Natalie said. “All I did was watch, then?”

“Yeah.”

Natalie nodded, and Liz seemed relieved she wasn’t making a big deal out of it. Liz glanced at the original pillar, which had opened another slot next to where the gel toy had appeared.

“So,” she said. “Reward, then?”

“Let’s check it out,” Natalie agreed.

Together, they approached the slot. They already knew in a general idea what they’d be getting—some kind of weapon for Liz. Though, she was curious how good of one. That ‘encounter’ hadn’t been life-threatening as a typical dungeon encounter, so would it only be a basic reward?

“A rare?” Natalie burst out. That was way better than she’d been expecting. “And a moderate furor increase with no downsides?”

Liz was equally stunned. It was far and away the most valuable item they’d found down in the dungeon. Maybe not the most incredible that could be found, but certainly in the high, high echelons of starter loot.

“What’s the form shift?” Liz asked. Frowning at the weapon, she tugged at the built-in ability, and the wand shifted in her hands.

The two girls stared blankly at the result.

“Oh,” Liz said. “Yeah, that makes sense.”

Liz held a marble-white dildo capped with a golden tip. The similarity to the wand’s practical form was comical enough that Natalie started laughing, and Liz joined a second later, giggling incredulously. She wiggled the item side to side, and they saw it had some give to it—it was rubbery.

The mirth passed quickly, because both of them were interested in what the transformation had brought, speaking practically. They were delvers in possession of a rare-quality item.

“It’s evolvable?!” Liz burst out, and, like before, Natalie was also astounded. “And all the other stuff?”

Natalie rubbed the side of her head, taking a second to digest the reveal. Liz stared at her with wide eyes, waiting for her input.

“Seems like we got lucky,” Natalie said simply. It was a huge understatement. For a level one item, it was phenomenal. “What do you think [Link] is?”

“No clue. Some kind of support ability, I’m sure. But … I don’t know if—?”

Someone would have to use it on Liz to find out, the skill said.

“M-Maybe later,” Liz stuttered out. “We’ll put that one off.”

Natalie understood. While the benefits from the wand’s second form seemed useful—the minor prowess increase was another incredible bonus—she didn’t expect Liz to just be okay with using it. She’d let her teammate decide how she wanted to handle the weapon.

“And double-headed, for the evolved form?” Liz muttered. “Seriously? Your class is so insane.”

“Gave us a rare, though,” Natalie pointed out. “Crazy, but good.”

“Yeah.” Eying the dildo one more time, Liz swapped it back to its regular combat form. She sighed, then groaned. “Explaining to the team is going to be so weird.”

Natalie agreed, but at the same time, she was getting used to ‘weird’.

“Okay,” Natalie said. “I can take the lead on that, if you want.”

Liz nodded her head rapidly, more than happy to take her up on the offer. She’d gained some boldness during the event of theirs, but Natalie didn’t think her blushing nature had disappeared—only a few walls had broken down. Liz very much wasn’t ready to waltz out and explain her shifting-dildo-wand to her teammates. That would be Natalie’s job.

Since it was her class, she supposed it was only fair.
