Chapter 610 Morning Prep Work
Chapter 610 Morning Prep Work
It was too much energy for a Common Rank Elite to handle, so if she was intending for Sybil to eat more of it, she would have to intensely train her skills. It was still early in the evening, but she wouldn\'t be able to burn off that much energy quickly with the amount of energy that she could currently handle.
However, Karl did have Skill Master active on them, so if Rae was going to combat train her, maybe Sybil could learn some new skills that she could overload with energy.
"You know, there is a good chance that Rae will kill her accidentally." Lotus quietly reminded them.
Karl nodded, "That is possible, but I think that as long as she can burn off all that excess energy, there is a good chance that Rae can actually force her to advance tonight.
Rae has an advancement bath coming, so she will want to get as much training as possible done before she goes to bed for the evening. It wouldn\'t be surprised if we find a Rogue dangling from the ceiling in the morning, though. Rae likes it when her prey stays where she puts it."
The ladies chuckled at that, but Karl was right. Rae would definitely cocoon a flight risk so that Sybil remained where she was put until morning.
"Should we get ready for bed, or do we wait up until Rae comes back with our new charge?" Dana asked.
[I\'ve got it handled.]
"Let\'s sleep first. We have a long day coming tomorrow."
Karl retired to bed with Dana, while Ophelia transformed back into Werebear form and slung Lotus over her shoulder.
Tessa chuckled as the Bear claimed her teddy, while Lotus made half-hearted complaints about how a Werebear was too warm to sleep with when you had temperature control.
Karl also woke up far too warm the next morning, with Dana\'s warm body on one side and Cara curled up against the other.
"Is this going to be a new thing?" He whispered to the Void Badger.
[It is my duty to keep your relationship wholesome until Brother Thor manages to find a girlfriend.]
Karl smiled and petted her head, which made Cara stretch out in the bed and wake Dana.
She rolled on top of Karl, then rolled back when Cara licked her face.
"What was that for. Good morning, Cara. I\'m awake now."
Karl looked into his space, and found that Rae was still in the middle of her bath preparations.
She had the base ready now, but Remi had made her a potion to work into her body before she began, and Rae wanted to finish that before she added the Totem blood.
[It opens the pores and exfoliates loose outer layers. It was an error during my research, but it works really well as a body scrub for Rae.] Remi explained.
The Bloodbath Spider was lost in her preparations, oblivious to the fact that it was already morning, and that everyone was getting up for the day.
Karl carried Dana to the shower while Cara polished her fur, and then he let his senses wander to the others to make sure everyone was doing well.
Thor was in human form with Sybil in the kitchen with Tessa, while Lotus was making a lot of noise in bed, possibly trying to escape from the grip of a gently snoring Ophelia.
Hawk was in his space, as was Remi, so Karl worked through his morning routine and then realized he was actually short on normal clothing for a casual day.
He decided to go for the uniform suit without the coat or tie, and made a mental list of items to request from the delivery service.
{Mister Karl, good morning. We\'re just about done making breakfast.} Sybil greeted him in sign language as he reached the main room, with Dana and Cara behind him.
"You look like you slept well." Sybil gave him a rueful smile. {Lady Rae tied me to a hammock, and I couldn\'t Shadow Step out of it, so I didn\'t really have a choice. I was stuck there until Mister Thor came to rescue me this morning.} n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Karl chuckled as Tessa translated. Rae\'s webs didn\'t have knots, so there was no way for an escape artist to untie themselves, and a Common Rank Elite wouldn\'t be able to break the silk.
Thor smiled at Karl. "When are the hatchlings coming?"
"As soon as we finish with our morning meetings, we can call for them. Have you come up with a training program for the warriors?"
Thor nodded. "I have the perfect thing, and Sister Remi made me potions to help. It\'s going to be very productive. If they\'re good warriors, they might even show progress in just one day."
Tessa smiled at the transformed Cerro. "I\'ve already called the doctors to finish our evaluations. But are you sure that you\'ll be alright staying in human form? I believe that those items are usage limited."
Thor shrugged. "It\'s not a big problem. Sister Rae will learn the spell soon, and I can just stay like this for a while. My pond is comfortable even without my scales."
[Thor secretly likes wearing armour.] Cara added in Karl\'s mind.
That was valuable information to have. When he had time, Karl knew that he would have to study more so that he could keep useful spells like that one available for the team. Or one that would allow them to shrink.
If they were able to reduce themselves to Cara sized or smaller the way that Remi could, there would be little reason for any of them except Rae, who wanted to jump scare people, to transform.
The trick was to convince Thor, who valued power and the ability to protect, that being small was a good thing. He had even made his human form the largest out of all of them.
Plus, a sheepdog sized Thor would be adorable.
