"Arcturus, get off!"
Elia started struggling to try and move Arcturus, who was still half on her. But she wasn't strong enough, so no amount of flailing would help.
"Arcturus!"

"Sorry sorry!" he shouted as he pushed himself away from Elia. "I just might need to reorient myself."
He moved dizzyingly as he tried to walk towards a wall to steady himself with it.

So gross... Jet snapped calling forth some of the water from beyond the gate. It cleaned up the mess as Arcturus tried to get his bearings, and possibly keep last night's dinner. She picks him up and carries him over her shoulders. "C'mon Master is expecting you in the banquet hall, but first I'm gonna clean you up. Odds are Pearl wants to keep feeling the inside of your mouth." She lead them to a bathhouse where only one person was relaxing. "Hey Cream, where are the wash cloths?"
"Over by the mermaid statue." The blonde nymph relaxing in the warm water spoke in a kindly tone. Jet sets Arcturus down on a stool. "So got anymore you want to let out, or can I start cleaning up?"

"Feel free to start." Arcturus breathed slowly to get rid of the sickly feeling. "So, could you explain to me what exactly happens in the ceremony now that we're inside the castle? I want to know before I somehow get horribly raped by a horny nymph that I haven't married."

Now what will I do?
Elia looked around the room, which had an eerie feeling. The more she saw, the less she wanted to be alone inside of it.
"Hello? Anyone know where I should go?" she yelled out, before being creeped out by the echo.

"There's not much too it." Jet simply states as she strains the damp cloth. She begins by removing the clothes and armor from his back and scrubbing off the dirt. "Today we celebrate her like you would a birthday, tomorrow she has to undergo three trials, then the next two days are getting her dressed for her water dance. Lift your arms" She rinses the cloth before going back to work on his sides and chest. Being especially diligent with the puke. "And the last day is her dance with mother and a union in the peak north of here." She finishes cleaning his face and allows him to get redressed. "After the trials her excess energy will transfer into a desire, which is the part where she begins wanting to grind against you until the hips need replacement. Now follow me to your girlfriend." Jet leads him back to the banquet hall, adjacent to the dining hall and significantly bigger. Next to Alucard is a middle aged looking man in a tan traveling robe with a magnificent red beard. Two jet black wings stick out the back and they seem to be carrying on a conversation with Rhea. The rest of the room is filled with Nymphs in various costumes brought by Jet.
---
Pearl rushes down stairs in her blue dress to hug the creeped out girl standing alone. "Elia! You came too? I know Alucard invited master, but I didn't think he'd let someone else come along... Hey! Let's go meet everyone else!" Pearl leads Elia by the arm up two flights of stairs to a room filled with various psuedo and meta humans. She let's go of Elia and tackles the man to Jet's side. Flipping him around she exclaims, "Master! I'm soooo happy you're here!"

"Pearl!" Arcturus cheered as he got up off the ground and dusted off his clothes. "Are you ready for your ceremony? Jet told me about it. Apparently I need to watch out for you after its over, lest something that I dare not say might happen. Anyways, do you perhaps know about anyone with a large cloak that blocks his face? He said something about you to me."
If she knows, than I need to ask Jet too.

"Just the second part." Jet corrected Arcturus before turning to Elia. "So any place you wanna sit in mind, or should I pick?" There were two empty seats next to Rhea who had talked Tafl and Alucard into an arm wrestling match, at the next table A nymph with purple hair done in pig tails eyeing Elia with curiosity, after that another brown haired nymph with two gladii practicing on water melons, at the next table there was a game of cards going on, three blondes were gossiping at the next one, a blue haired nymph was painting a portrait next to that and so on and so forth.
---
Pearl thinks for a moment, "Mystery Cloak!" She exclaims as she jumps into Arcturus' arms. "Now you've met him... her? Yeah I remember it giving me money the day after we met, but he.. she.. it stopped showing up after that. I told you, but then we went to go hunt the golem. So what did... he? say about me?" Pearl nuzzles her head onto his shoulder. This does not go unnoticed.

"He told me to stop the ceremony, but he didn't say why." Arcturus looked up, trying to think back. "He said to only let you go through with the dance, and bring you back before the next part."
He turned back towards Jet as Pearl continued nuzzling her head into his shoulder.
"Wait, second part?" he asked as he looked back at Pearl worriedly before shifting his gaze to Jet again. "Second part!? What's the first part!?"

I may have felt out of place in the palace before, but that's nothing compared to how out of place I feel now...
After waiting to let Arcturus and Pearl talk, Elia answered Jet's question.
"I'll let you decide."

"Some people do not listen, this is the first part! Next is the trials. After that she's gonna pounce you. The third part is dress up, then her dance and the fifth and final part is her union. I don't know what she sees in you." Jet is suddenly distracted by a shirtless Tafl wrestling with a shirtless Alucard. Rhea's voice booms with command and fear inflicting tones as they stop, "ENOUGH! This is Pearl's day. Save the rough stuff for later. We should let her enoy this." Pearl drags Arcturus with her to the head table where Rhea hugs Pearl in a motherly way. "Master whoever that person is seems to have good intentions, but they don't understand this. I need to do this." She moves to hug Arcturus and begins kissing him. Alucard and Hnefatafl take their seats and resume fighting over who is manlier.
-----
"Well it looks like that options gone. Let's go sit with Wha-Wha." Jet takes the chair next to the Nymph in pigtails. Wha-Wha immediately enhances her inspection on Elia and bolts up with a eureka moment. "You're not tall enough! Hey Jet where's Zepparella?" On the table there was a spread of many foreign seafoods each cooked with their own unique blend of spices.

"Not tall enough for what?" a nervous Elia asked cautiously.
The next few days are going to be horrible, aren't they?

Arcturus smiled a bit before pushing Pearl away from his face to speak to her.
"I don't really understand the purpose of the ceremony all that well." he admitted as he scratched the side of his neck. "I know you grow a tail of sorts, but what else does it do? From what I gather, it's a rite of passage into adulthood, but there are certainly some biological changes that take place."

"Don't worry about it sweetie~" Was all Wha-Wha was willing to say. Jet rolls her eyes as she answers her question, "She went to the bathhouse with Cream while they wait for the pies to finish baking, do not say a word." Wha-Wha blows a raspberry towards her before she takes a bite of lobster. "So can I go watch?" Jet drinks from a golden goblet filled with hot chocolate. "I'd put you on a leash, but that might get you off."
----
"A few, but nothing to drastic. I get more control of my water form and my body finishes 'developing into a beautiful flower that needs to be worshiped' according to Wha-Wha." She takes a seat in his lap as she bites the bread. Alucard motions Tafl to Arcturus. "This boy is whom I've made a pact with. So Arcturus how much stronger have you gotten?"

"Quite a bit, actually." Arcturus answered with a surprisingly upbeat tone, considering who he was talking to, as he tried to lean out of Pearl's way. "Stronger than I thought a month would give me. Must be Graecius' training. Anyways, I heard from Jet that you two will be having a duel over Rhea. I'd like to observe, if possible. It gives me an estimate as to what I'm dealing with."

Rhea giggles as the two try puffing up their massive chest. "Why yes about every half year or so they bash each other with clubs to see who I give my affection to. Honestly I can't choose so they fight over me." Alucard looks over Rhea with lustful eyes and then Arcturus... with lustful eyes... for violence, "I'd love to have you watch. See how I bring down those beneath me." Tafl scoffs at his word choice. "I fly above you. How is that beneath!?"
"My are you going to run out of steam here at lunch? how will the victor enjoy the spoils?" Pearl ignores this exchange for the most part as she places another kiss on Arcturus, "Do you like how the pork shoulder taste from my mouth?"
---
Jet ask Elia a question while Wha-Wha angrily glares at Arcturus, "So tell us a little about yourself. How'd you get to know Pearl?"

"It tastes... like... pork." Arctursu spoke in an uncertain tone as he noticed one of the nymphs giving me a leer. "Uh, Pearl? Why is she staring at me like that?"

"I met Pearl on my first day in Shaldra."
Elia was trying not to freak out now that she knew what kind of things Wha-Wha had intended to do if she had been taller. She had decided to stay as far away from the nymph as she possibly could, and to do her best to ignore her. But her face must have said it all.
She was going to try and do horrible things with me! And I'm going to be stuck here for several days! Kryla, thank you for making me just a little too short, and please protect me over the next few days. Please!

"Wha-Wha looks a little mad, but I'm not sure why. Master do you like my dress and black heels? Jet picked them out." Tafl put a hand on both their shoulders and smiles, "This must be that boy you've been talking so much about! You seem like a fine young lad. And you must know she's a fine young woman. Just watch my match with Alucard and take some pointers on how to knock the arrogance out of a vampire!"
"Or see the many ways to skin a dragon." Alucard sips from his wine glass as Rhea rubs Tafl's wings.
"Oh master! I was wondering, does Titus know about this."
----
Wha-Wha notices Elia get uncomfortable. Well let's see how you handle someone playing with your girl. She scoots right next to her and wraps her arm around her shoulder. She delicately fingers her necklace then begins rubbing her finger across her dress, "You're not really my type, but you sure are cute. So where you gonna room tonight sw-" She gets dragged away by Jet.
"Sorry about that. This one is easily excitable."

"No..." Arcturus told Pearl sheepishly as he began to shrink in his seat. "I told him we were going to the craft district. He probably expects us to be back today. By the time we actually get back to Shaldra, the whole city might be on high alert."
He took a moment to regain his stature as he grabbed a small piece of bread and took a bite.
"You see," he began to speak to Alucard as he motioned lightly towards Elia, who looked very uncomfortable. "Elia is the adopted daughter of Titus Caesarius, the current emperor. I myself am his grandson, but that wasn't known until recent events. Anyways, he's very attached to her, especially after he lost his first daughter, who was my mother. There are rumors that he did illicit things with his daughter, but I refuse to believe them. He's upstanding and the way he treats Elia supports my belief."
