After Xi finished with Mryzzl, and Al gave his co-wife a couple of final orgasms, everyone sat around the couch, drinking water to replace their lost fluids.
âIâm ... Iâm sorry for how I acted,â Betty said, glancing down.
âDonât fret. It wasnât you that was responsible.â
âDo you remember it? Or is it all a blur like a normal hangover.â
âNo, I remember all of it, which is why itâs so embarrassing. I can recall every detail. I canât believe I thought everything was so funny.â
âMaybe we can bottle some and sell it as a treatment for depression?â Xi offered, hoping to relieve the tension.
âDonât worry. Iâm not going to. I warned you what might happen. I never anticipated that reaction, but those kinds of reactions arenât unusual when you start ingesting bodily fluids you arenât accustomed to.â
âWell, next time Iâm diving in and heading lower. Xi seems to have enjoyed herself even more than I did.â
âYouâre not kidding. Between the two of them, they kept me cumming for some time!â
âYou know, itâs silly for us to keep calling you by your full name.â Betty cuddled with Mryzzl on one side, Xi on her far side, and Al cuddling her on his lap. âEspecially since we each have such short names. âWould you mind if we shortened it a little, as a sort of more intimate name, just between us?â
âNo, I certainly donât mind, since you struggle with it as it is. You try your best, but you just arenât familiar with the sounds.â
âWhat does your name mean?â Al asked.
âItâs a particular desert flower on our home world, one which only grows under the most extreme of circumstances. Itâs tiny, the flowers only about this big,â she said, holding her finger less than an inch apart, âbut itâs prolific when it blooms. The legends say that, following a cataclysmic event that wiped out a wide swath of our planet, it was the first thing to bloom. So itâs always held a revered place in our memory.â
âIt sounds similar to our resurrection plant, which seemingly dies and becomes a tumbling weed, sometimes for as long as a hundred years blowing across the bare, dry landscape. But once it lands in water, it unfurls, turning green, and releases seeds which grow quickly, only to once again âdieâ due to the extreme drought, producing another generation of tumbling sagebrush.â
âI prefer to think of her as our Mryzzl,â Xi said, âwhich despite being dormant for so long following the death of her mate, has returned to life with the reassuring waters of our love.â
âSo what do you think of âMyâ?â Betty asked. âThat way youâll always know you have a home with us, as we each refer to you as our own every time we speak.â
âIâd be honored, as a Myi are the petals of the Mryzzl, delicate little things which, like your resurrection plant, scatter the plantâs seeds. Itâs actually a very fitting name.â
âIâm glad you like it, Myi,â Betty said, nuzzling her face once again.
