Adreena and Jace were panting heavily when they reached the outpost. "Phew...you certainly run fast as a centauress," Jace complemented on Adreena's galloping speed. Knowning that they could have missed brunch if they were late, they raced each other to the tavern after clearing away the campsite. Adreena grinned and wiped off beads of perspiration on her forehead. She cantered around the area to scout for any potential harm before trotting back to Jace. "The area is as safe as I remember. I think we can make use of some shopping too!" she remarked casually and browsed through her belongings, mostly which are some gold coins, spellbooks and charms.
"Good idea, but let's have brunch, shall we?" Jace candidly told Adreena who rubbed on her growling human belly. Both of them proceeded to trot towards the tavern but came to a rude realisation that the door wasn't large enough to fit either of them. "Damn, even for me, a smaller size centauress isn't going to cut it?" Adreena was slightly annoyed while Jace was amused at her shortcomings. "Hey, over here!" someone whispered and both of them noticed a friendly, catgirl opening a back door leading to the tavern. Throwing caution to the wind, Adreena raced towards the catgirl and hugged her tightly.
"Wait...you guys know each other?" Jace asked, still unsure of the catgirl's intentions.
"Yeah! She's my former party accomplice! Her name is Hazel and she is a fine archer! She is now managing a bar now!" Adreena replied sweetly as she stroked Hazel's head gently, who purred and cuddled Jace in return. After a brief session of petting, Hazel welcomed both of them into the tavern through the large, inconspicuous wooden back doors.
Jace's intuitively caught his eyes on the tavern's empty quest board. He was slightly perplexed at the lack of quests available and questioned Hazel about it. Hazel gave a slight chuckle and stated that the quests are only shown in the evenings where the crowds are aplenty and requests are abound. Adreena then placed an order for a big plate of some hardtack and a bowl of tomato soup along with roasted potatoes before standing before a table. (She chose to elegantly sit on a bench but the bench cracked under her weight). As she wolfed down her soup, Jace would vividly recount her former adventuring tales with Hazel and her gang of elves misfits, like the long treacherous hike to a castle to retrieve a precious pendant or executing an ambush on an unsuspecting bunch of goblins.
"Hmmm...I think it's either the centaur cum has transformative properties, or that forest is somehow enchanted, or that constant addiction towards centaur's masturbation has transformed you, or a combination of all" Hazel shared her opinions when Adreena recounted the events after meeting Jace. "Not to fret though, I am sure there is a way to undo the transformation, unless you do want to stay as a centaur." She winked at Adreena before offering Jace some hardtack with honey glazed onto it.
After brunch, Adreena and Jace would explore the city and promised Hazel that they would return by nightfall. Shopping was the top priority-being equipped with proper gear would go a long way in ensuring a quest's success and also one's comfort! "Adreena sure need some "proper" equipment!" Jace thought as he walked behind Adreena; her mare twat was bare for all to see and glistening pearls of equine fluids were secreting from her muscled folds.
