Daphne pressed close to Daisy, stroking down one her arms. "Selena's one of yours, right? Tell her to shoo and let the big girls work things out."

Daisy blushed, then looked at Selena with helpless confusion. "U-uhm, I don't know you."

Daphne recoiled at that. "So?" She peered into Daisy's eyes with an intensity. "Seriously? Right! Otherworlder." She shoved Daisy back roughly and turned to Selena. "If I did that to you, how would you feel?"

Selena laughed awkwardly. "I would have kissed you?"

"Exactly!" Daphne gestured with both hands towards the chimera. "We're not from your world. You don't have to know us, you just need to feel it."

"Oh." Daisy frowned, crossing her arms as much to shield herself from the world as anything else. "I don't feel it."

"I would be hurt, but the way you're looking, you're way more broken than me in this." She casually flicked Daisy's nose. "Don't know how it works in your world, but it sounds cold and boring. The sex here isn't something you think, it's something you experience. If you can't feel it, that's on you, not me."

Daisy nodded, rubbing her face slowly. "Sorry, really."

Selena patted Daisy softly. "It's alright, she's not mad. I think?"

Daphne shrugged as she backed up a step. "I feel like I just kicked a puppy. Dang. If you really don't want to do it the fun way, we could exchange the boring way. Give me full perms to dig around and get what I want, and I return the favor. Cold, clinical, and boring." She snapped her fingers and a large chair appeared behind her. She sat on it. "So how do we do this?"

Daisy nodded quickly. "Yes, the second way, please." She opened her system screen. With some tapping at phantom keys, she pulled up her list of mutagens and twirled it around for Daphne to see. "Here, the whole list."

"Not even letting me in to dig around like last time? Cold." Daphne laughed as she examined the list. "Huh,I want that chimera. That will be a saucy base for some new creations." She reached and grabbed the screen. Daisy could feel a strange tingle as Daphne took a copy and casually absorbed it. "You're so young, your only new mutagen? Wait, what's this?"

She flicked the screen onwards. "Half-formed mutagens? For traps? These look fun. Age decreaser? Oh ho ho, that will be a hoot." She grabbed that one with a laugh. "I take it back, you've been busy."

Selena peered at the space Daphne was looking, but, to her, there was nothing. "What is she doing?"

"Looking through my mutagens. She wants to take copies of them to use in her own dungeon." Daisy looked to Daphne as the new mouse continued to browse. "Dungeons have their own rules, you see?"

"Each one." Daphne closed the window with a clap. "And it's up to us to decide them. Now, fair's fair." She puffed out her chest. "I give full permissions to Daisy. Hope she doesn't do anything terribly naughty to me." The way she said that was more of an invitation to do exactly that.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

"Oh." Daisy felt her face flush. "Oh, really? Let's see." She opened a window, but tried to open Daphne's, and it just worked. "Oh!" She could see all of Daphne's stats and menus, including the mutagen list. It was a lot to see, all of it displayed before her, hovering in her vision.

Curiosity got the better of her and she looked to see what Daphne's stats were other than the mutagens. She was 100% brood mouse, to no particular surprise. Sexuality? Bisexual with a bar showing exactly how bi she was. Daisy shook her head, not terribly surprised. Family displayed a large number, inside her dungeon and all.

Daisy tore her eyes from those. She didn't want to pry too much. She started to look through the mutagen lists, but was shocked to find out just how many there were. "You have so many."

"I've been here, doing my job." Daphne crossed her arms. "You wanted that clothing one, didn't you?"

"Ah, right, that one." Daisy dragged it from Daphne to herself with a chime only she could hear. "Selena will appreciate this." But there were so many others, each sounding interesting or fun. "Why are some of them crossed out?"

Daphne blinked in surprise at that, then sighed heavily. "You're still a newbie, newbie." She prodded Daisy between her breasts. "You can't handle some of these. Practice, come back, and beg me for another peek. I'm feeling generous, but if you take a mutagen that just tears your body apart? That's on you. Not like you'll die. You'll be a pile of goo, then reform."

Daisy winced at that mental image. "Let's avoid the crossed ones." She spotted the vampiric sloth and laughed as she took it. "Alright, I think we have a fair trade, about dozen either way. Thank you."

"Good." Daphne smiled as Daisy released her control over her mutagens. "I hope we meet again, but don't get too close to my dungeon for a few days. I have some work to do." She snapped twice. "Permission reset." Just like that, Daisy was locked out of accessing her things. "Now, before I kick you both out, any final questions?"

Daisy nodded. "I have one." She looked towards Selena with a raised brow. "You're from around here, unlike me. Is fidelity even a concept around here, romantically speaking?"

Daphne cocked a brow at that. "Some people swear to only bear or sire children with a particular person, if you mean that? If I say that, I better be good to that person."

Daisy rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "It sounds like it means something different. Okay, thank you."

Selena looked between Daphne and Daisy. Her eyes settled on Daisy. "What does fidelity mean where you're from?"

Daisy took in a long, low breath, then exhaled. She gestured upwards as she spoke. "It is when one is romantically bound to another, so they only have sex with their partner, or partners. Having sex with anyone else is cheating, and gets you in trouble."

Selena looked baffled at the very idea. "Did you make any promises like that with Theodoren or Cedric? You didn't with me."

Daisy shook her head. "No, but it has been bothering me. I, ah." She blushed, rubbing the back of her head. "I'm worried about being a bad girl for liking other people."

Daphne was laughing, a hand resting on her chest as she cackled. She gave a thumbs up. "Good luck, I have no idea what you're babbling about. You couldn't offer me enough mutagens to make that kind of agreement."

Selena pulled Daisy into a hug. "If you want to play with her, go ahead. It isn't often two brood mice get a chance to, you know, play with each other."

Daisy blushed and hugged back, burying her face in Selena's neck as she did. "You sure? I don't want to disappoint you, or the others."

Selena tapped Daisy on the underside of her snout. "You never promised any of us that. They'll only be jealous they didn't get to see the other brood mouse too."

Daphne let out a low chuckle. "Sounds like we're all in agreement." She slipped close to Daisy, then gave her a stroke along the front of her dress, teasing just under the edges of it. "Now, as I offered before, shall we forget about dungeons a moment and play, brood mouse to brood mouse?"
