While the meat was slowly cooking up, Gorn looked towards Amelia: “So, is this better than life inside the city?” his gaze was rather serious.

For a moment, Amelia shuddered inwardly. “Of course! This is way, way better than working like a slave, without much freedom.” Now, she was a little regretful that she showed dissatisfaction earlier. While this wasn’t technically the dream like situation, it was, just as she said, way better than hammering eighteen hours a day like there was no tomorrow.

“So, the things we heard are not lies after all…” commented Elisa.

Rebeca was also a little shaken. Amelia’s words made everyone remember their current precarious situation.

“Cheer up! There is plenty of food, and there are no immediate dangers,” said Gorn, not wanting the atmosphere to turn gloomy. Turning the meat on the other side, he continued: “I saw that you made some improvement with our temporary shelter. Good job!”

“Thank you. It’s really not that much. We only managed to add another room, and improve a bit the previous space.”

“That’s great. Keep in mind that this is temporary, so there is no need to make everything perfect. The minimum is sufficient.”

“Sure thing!”

Gorn secretly analyzed everyone. No big changes could be noticed. Nora kept looking at him in a certain way. It was pretty obvious that she wanted to say something to him, but was pretty hesitant about it.

With Gorn’s ability to control the fire, the meat was swiftly cooked. Adding a few more condiments on top of it, he gave everyone a large portion. As an extra, he took a few blueberries, and wild apples. Without any other delays, everyone started to eat with great satisfaction.

The food wasn’t so complicated, but all the ingredients were very delicious, so the taste was great even if they weren’t cooked to perfection. Everyone ate at their own pace. Gorn finished his portion rather quickly. Taking out some more raw meat, he said: “You can cook more if you want. I’ll go for another walk. Nora, want to keep me company?”

Nora did not expect him to ask that. Nonetheless, she quickly answered: “Yes!” short, and direct.

“Alright, let’s go then,” said Gorn while getting up.

“Can you wait for me to change my clothes first?” asked Nora after a little hesitation.

“No problem. I’ll wait for you at the entrance.”

Nora quickly got up, and went towards their hand-made shelter.

“I want to go as well!” said Ella with an expectant gaze.

“You just went out not that long ago. Furthermore, Gorn is not a carriage. One at a time,” retorted Elisa.

Hearing her say that made Gorn laugh. “We won’t be that far away. See you later!”

Mara wanted to say the same thing, but hearing her mother’s answer, she stopped half-way. ‘I want to go as well…’

Gorn slowly walked towards the entrance of their shelter, sat down and waited for Nora. After a few minutes, she came out. She was now wearing a short skirt coupled with black stockings, and a thin sweater. The new clothes brought forward a great amount of charm and appeal.

Nora noticed Gorn’s brief pause, and his expression. Inside her mind, she was very pleased by his reaction. Gorn extended his arm, and both of them disappeared.

‘Why did she dress like that?’ thought Lora from the side. Her face turned a little darker, unable to mask the dissatisfaction.

Elisa noticed her reaction, and grinned playfully. “I’m already full, so excuse me,” said Elisa at the same time as she got up. The grin was still plastered all over her face, and she didn’t try to hide it in the slightest. At a leisure pace, she went towards the opposite direction.

Mara got up as well, and without saying anything, she quickly followed her mother. “Wait for me…”

Gorn and Nora were already some distance away from the rest. Landing on a thick tree branch, Gorn looked into the distance. Their position was as such that their line of sight was not obstructed by other branches. The sun was slowly going over the horizon, marking the soon approaching end of yet another day.

A moment of silence.

Previously, Nora seemed quite restless, but now, she was very calm. Or so it appeared. Her fast beating hard could be heard clearly. Gorn became a little agitated as well.

After a few more moments, Gorn made the first move. He stepped to the side, and arrived right behind Nora. Putting one hand on her shoulder, he was about to say something, but stopped. Even though he wanted to say, and do a few things, he desired even more to wait and see what she wanted.

A couple more minutes passed, and Nora finally made a move. She turned around, and…hugged him tightly. It was a tad surprising, but not totally unexpected. Gorn wrapped his hands around her body, and hugged her back. Both of them just stood there for quite some time.

“It’s time we returned,” said Gorn. Nora nodded slightly, her face radiating a beautiful smile. These were the only words spoken during all this time. Teleporting a few times, they were back at their shelter in no time.

Lora with her family were still at the same spot, while the rest were inside the tree. Gorn gave them a glance, then entered the tree as well. In addition to the already existing first room, there was now another one. The hallway was now slightly more spacious, and everything else a little more polished.

“Hey, we are back.”

Certain plants gave off a small amount of light, making the once dark interior a lot more bright. Elisa, her daughters, as well as Rebeca were currently in the process of trying out some new clothes.

The moment he entered, he saw everyone except Ella, half dressed, and half naked. “Should I come later?” he was positive that they heard him come in.

Elisa came forward, her big breasts jiggling around, threatening to escape from her bra. “Of course not! We were just looking around through some clothes, nothing much.” Mara and Rebeca were clearly not as easy going as her, however, they also didn’t seem to mind.

“Alright then.” Gorn felt a huge wave of sexual energy rushing through his body, but held it in. It was getting harder, and harder by the second, but this was his choice. Everything had a time, and a place.

“So, what do you all think about the new arrivals?” asked Gorn, while at the same time looking around a little.
