22- Keep Doing That

Friday, Day 1

Although it seemed to pain Ashley, she decided to sell the creature off to the madam and pocket a sizable amount of coin, plus a letter. He learned all this a few seconds later, when they sprinted up to him, breathless, and showed him the card with the 5,000 coins on it.

Ashley and Evie were also even given the chance to go one more round with the Quiverwhisker, in a nice private room with good soundproofing, if they so chose. Ashley gave the pink tribble a longing look and blew a kiss at it while Evie dragged her out of the brothel.

Now away from it, the two of them approached him fearfully.

“Ash?” Evie asked, and when he didn’t respond, she reached out like he was a trained lion and pressed her fingers to his hand. When he still didn’t respond, she took his hand and kissed the back of it. “We’re sorry.”

“We are?” he asked quietly.

Ashley took a few more seconds to crack. When she did, she hugged his other arm and buried her face in his shoulder. “I’m sorry, Ash. It… I was weak. I’m really sorry.”

They’d been under its power. All three of them. But it had worked its magic on a much weaker Ashley to keep itself safe. He successfully resisted it when they couldn’t. He knew this, and couldn’t stay mad about it. He didn’t want to admit that it had worked on him too, and only keeping the hell away from it had saved him from being its third biggest fan.

Last, he couldn’t handle money. He definitely needed them for the 5,000 coins, to repair the ship, since every time he handled any coins they disappeared into Ray Eastman’s pockets. They’d have to prove that they were really sorry, so that after the ship was fixed up, they’d stay in his party. For now he’d keep them.

Ashley and Evie were apologetic about the whole situation and let him know with a lot of physical contact. They even went so far as to try and give him 2,000 coins, but he refused, telling them exactly what was happening to his money.

“So… are we good?” Ashley asked after all was discussed. Evie peeked out from behind one beefy or arm and blinked innocently at him, as if she were using his girlfriend as a meat shield.

He let them sweat it a bit, keeping silent and heading back toward the warehouse district where the Wind Runner was uselessly taking up space.

“Ash, you have to understand. That thing… I’ve never felt anything like that. It had to be some kind of mental, emotional effect. And it wasn’t… it didn’t drain life or anything. It just felt good. No drawbacks. Does that make sense?”

“We’re sorry, Ash,” Evie added.

“I know,” he said flatly. “You weren’t yourselves.” He was tired of the whole thing.

“By the way, Madam Boobies asked us if you were with us. She seemed to think you could make us a whole lot of money,” Ashley said, trying to lighten the mood.
