A nice partner for exploration

As I wake up, I'm still lying in my bed in a corridor of that boat.
I get up to look outside.
We must already have reached the other side of the ocean.

We are standing at the coast and only a few dozen meters away there's a forest. It reaches toward the horizon.

And it seems like many people already left the ship.
They are standing directly in front of the ship.

Wait? Most of these people are entering the ship.
Maybe I should leave the ship before it sets off again?
I hurry down through some corridors until I find the exit and immediately leave.

Outside I have to take a deep breath.
I'm pretty exhausted. I'm not used to running around so early in the morning.

The first thing I have to do now is orient myself.
I look around. There are some shacks and a few benches.
From here it's only a few dozen meters until the forest begins.
But even here you could say I'm inside already.
There are a bunch of trees around, just not as dense as in the actual forest.

I go to one of the shacks and notice the girl again I've seen on the ship yesterday.

She's sitting in front of that shack on a bench.
She has rather dark skin, looks pretty athletic and her feet are naked.
A backpack is standing next to her.

There are more people on the bench, but nobody is sitting left of her yet.
So should I?

I guess I should.
What's the worst that could happen?

So I walk toward her and just sit down left of her.

Hey, so you're also here to explore the nature area?

Oh, and you are?

Uhm...
I'm just an adventurer I guess. Telo my name.

Pira. So what's your concern?

Uhm, nothing special. I just wanted to talk.

Just talk, huh?

I was hoping to find someone to accompany me.
So I won't be alone.

And of course your first intuition is to ask a strong, sexy girl like me, huh?

Uhm..., yeah. I guess. What's wrong about that?

So you actually agree?
I mean...
Of course you'd agree!
But you look like a real warrior. You even got a sword.
I'm just an explorer. How could I be of any help?
There are many strong men around.

Yeah, but... like I said. I just don't want to be alone. And you...

Oh, I know, what you want.

She smirks at me.

Uhm...
It's not what you think.
I...

It definitely is what she thinks.

Oh, it's not? What a pity...
I guess I have to look for a different partner.
There are enough stronger men than you around after all.

Uhm..., no, I want it! Would you really...?

Maybe...
Do you think, you can protect me?

Yeah..., of course I can...
I...
I got trained by a popular sword fighting master.
Even if I might not look as strong as a grown up man, my sword fighting techniques are still great.

Oh, I'd really like to see your fighting style.
Even if you seem to be younger than me, your sword seems to be pretty huge.
When you have good techniques and a huge sword, that's enough to me.

I wonder if she's really talking about sword fighting.
So does she really want me to protect her in other ways?
She's really making me horny.

I notice the people sitting right of Pira got up.
They must have been embarressed from listening to her already.

So you would accompany me, right?

I think so. But where are you even going?

Uhm...
I just need to find something in the forest.
I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for.

Sounds like we already have something in common.

No, I guess it's different. I got a clear mission. I just didn't get a lot of information.
Something weird must be going on somewhere in this forest. And it must be related to magic.

Oh, if you say so. Then let's go to the forest, I guess.

Sure.

We get up and start walking into the forest.

So you also don't have a clear goal, right?

Oh, not a specific place, but I also have a clear goal.

So you're seem to be more like me than I thought.

I wanted to visit some of the tribes living in this forest.
They don't have any technology, so they need to rely on their muscle power for everything.
I was hoping to get to know one of them.
But now my goal might have changed.

She smirks at me while licking her lips.
I'm really getting horny.
I can't think clearly anymore.
She really wants to...
Doesn't she?

But for now I have to change topic.
I have to think of something else.
We can't just do it right now.

So are you from the city, too?

Yeah..., no!
Technically I might be...
Let's say, I've been to the city recently.
That should be enough information.

What? I can't have a normal talk with you, can I?

I guess not.

She giggles.

Not sure if I'll be able to get used to you.
Maybe I should have listened to you and just chosen a strong man.
But on the other hand...

Don't worry. We'll get to that soon enough.
You want a peek, huh?

I would really like to.
But I also don't want to waste any time.
Maybe I'm just scared, though.

Not yet. But I'm already looking forward to this evening.

You want to wait for the evening?

It will be more fun if we're exhausted, right?

I have no idea if that's true. I don't have any experience after all.
But everything I liked anyway has been even better after training.

Yeah, you really got a point. I didn't expect that from you.

You don't know me well yet. Huh?

Of course I don't.

She giggles.

As we keep walking, I put my arm around her.
Pira doesn't seem to mind.

I'm already looking forward to more.
Maybe she's not so bad.

Maybe it's just because of my hope for this evening, but I really think, I will get used to her.
