Ero Skill Tree

Chapter 23 - Twenty-Three: Preparations Begin



After we had all dressed, we made our way through to Lillia's living room.

"Did you want to stay for some breakfast Jules?" Lillia asked politely.

"Thanks, but I think I'll get something on my way back at the market. I should really head back and freshen up." She answered as she gathered her things.

"Right, well I suppose we'll probably see you in the guild later."

"Yeah I expect so." Jules replied, then glanced at me shooting me a smile.

I caught her meaning. Then she let herself out of Lillia's apartment.

"Well I suppose we should freshen ourselves up too. Come on." She said taking me by the hand.

Lillia led me into another room from her apartment. It was a small room, basically just a basin and a shower. So, they do have these here, I thought to myself. The guild house only had large shared bath's, they weren't mixed and luckily, I seemed to be the only man staying in the guild at the moment, so I'd always had them to myself.

As soon as we stepped into the room Lillia began undressing again. Her pert breasts bounced out as she pulled her top over her head.

"We're showering together?" I asked.

"It'll be quicker."

"Right."

I wondered if that really would be the case and when I had just calmed down after first thing. I followed suit and stepped into the shower after Lillia. Warm water poured over our heads. Lillia passed me the soap.

"Could you wash my back?" She asked turning away from me.

"Sure."

As I rubbed the soap over her pale and silky smooth skin all sorts of thoughts ran through my mind. Almost without thinking, when I reached her hips, one of my hands slipped round and to the top of her inner thigh.

"Theo we can't…" My slower half hard pressed into her behind. "Oh, I suppose I will have to calm you down or we'll never get out of here."

She spun around, got to her knees and started sucking on my cock. At first all she did was that, but after a few seconds it seemed that I was no longer the only one excited by this situation and I watched as her hand slipped down and started rubbing herself. Another moment passed, she stopped sucking.

"I can't take this." She said, as she stood.

I spun her around and picking her up under thighs, lifted her on to my dick. She was surprisingly light, or I had gained a lot of strength I wasn't sure, and she was already sopping wet and I just slipped inside.

It was just a quickie, just enough to clear both of our heads for now so we could continue washing and preparing for tomorrow. Once we had finished in the shower and dried off, it was time to put clothes back on. Lillia had climbed out first and when I followed, she was already in the kitchen busily preparing something.

"I don't have much, but does scrambled eggs and toast sound okay?" She asked noticing I had joined her.

"That sounds great to me."

I took a seat at the small table on the edge of the kitchen and waited for it to be ready. As she brought the food over, I had the slightest pang of fear that Lillia might be one of those people that can't cook anything. It was only scrambled eggs on toast, there was only so much that could go wrong with it. As it turned out my fear was misplaced, it turned out to be perfectly edible.

"So, what do we need to prepare today?" I asked once we'd finished.

"Lot's, we need to stock up on potions, food, get blades sharpened and we need to find you a rucksack to carry your gear."

"That's quite a bit."

"It is." She answered picking up my empty plate and dumping it her sink."

"Oh, do want me to wash up for you?"

"No need. The maid will come and clean it up later and we're in a hurry."

Right a maid, she has one of those. I should have guessed.

"Come on we should get going." She told me.

"Then let's go."

I got up from the table, slid my chair back under and followed Lillia to the door. I glanced back, feeling a little sorry for the maid that would have to clean up after us when we left and headed out into the corridor. Our first point of call was stocking up on potions, this meant heading to Liz's shop. It was still early morning, and the streets were bustling as we headed there. I was starting to get used to my surroundings now having made my way around the town a few times now. It was still interesting seeing the many different races walk past.

Before long we were at Liz's, the bell rang as we walked through the door and we were greeted by Liz.

"Ah Lillia and Theo good morning! How was the little trip, everything sorted?" Liz asked.

"Yes, thank you all went well." Lillia answered her.

"Good to hear it. This one didn't seem to know what to do with himself while you were gone. I found him wandering the street here." Liz said while gesturing at me.

"Yes, I did hear that you'd been talking to my summons." Lillia replied shooting a slightly sharp glance.

"You told her?" Liz asked me.

"Well, it just kind of came out when I wanted to hear things from her, and you didn't tell me I should keep it myself." I said trying to defend myself.

"I suppose that is true." Agreed Liz.

"I don't mind you telling him things Liz, but you should be careful. Some of that information isn't meant to be told to them. If the guild masters got a whiff of that, they would destroy his relic. It's not something I'd even expect you to know." Lillia admonished Liz.

"Sorry, perhaps I should have told him that too… I only spoke up as this one seemed to be somewhat more sensible than the last lad that you brought here."

"He is, but if he had told someone other than me…

"You haven't, have you?" Liz asked looking straight at me.

"No, no. I've only brought it up with Lillia and only once."

"Good, then there is nothing to worry about." Liz said laughing it off.

"Hmpf, you wouldn't be laughing if he had."

"Sorry, I'll be more careful in future. Anyway, what's brought you two into my shop today?" Liz asked changing the subject.

"We need to stock up potions, we'll be out for a while, so we'll need a few health, stamina and mana potions each."

"I see, are you off somewhere interesting?"

"Not especially. The dungeon near Lintz."

"Oh, I heard about that, I think. It's the place where an officer from the demon lord's army has taken up residence."

"That's the one. We've accepted the quest to clear it."

"Ah, well that will be good experience for this one. Who's in the party?"

"The usual group. I'm sorry Liz, but we don't really have time to chat. What do you have in stock?"

"No problem, just give me a second." Liz dived under the counter for a moment before reappearing with a basket full of small vials. "This is all I have held back."

"Hmm." Lillia looked over the basket. "I'll take sixteen of each."

"Playing it safe. There should be enough." Liz said counting out the potions as she placed them on the counter. "That'll be six coins."

"Here you go." Lillia passed over the money.

After Lillia had paid we split the vials between us, taking eight of each kind each. They were only small vials, but my pouch was still almost filled to bursting point after stashing them away.

"Thank you, Liz. We should be going now. I'll pop by when we return." Lillia said once we had packed them all away.

"Take care both of you. Do let me know how you got on." Liz said as we left.

"We will." Replied Lillia.

"Bye Liz." I said waving as we left the store.

"Well where to now?" I asked.

"I think before we get any more gear, we need to get you kitted out with a bag. We won't be able to carry much more at this rate."
