Serina stepped inside her workshop and closed the door behind herself.
A small stream of moonlight filtered in through the window and pooled on the stone floor. It wasn't much, but Serina's eyes squinted at the brightness. Compared to the dark corridors, the small pool of moonlight was blinding.
"Serina..."
A voice called out to her, and she blinked. As her vision adjusted, she noticed the silhouette of a figure sitting at her workbench. It was difficult to make out the visitor's face, but Serina knew who it was. There wasn't anyone else who knew the location of the room, and the visitor's voice was easily recognizable to her. However, instead of responding, Serina walked over to a cupboard on the wall.
She looked through the many bottles and tools stored in the cupboard, focusing on the task for which she had come to the workshop. Only after pulling the required items off the shelf did she respond. "What are you doing here?"
The visitor stood up and walked up to her, coming to a stop just behind Serina. "I thought you would have already made your move by now..."
The visitor's voice wavered slightly, and Serina shook her head. "Eva has taken a greater interest in Jane than I expected... I didn't expect her to spend this much time with her."
"Perhaps she knows what you have planned? She might be trying to protect her."
"It's doubtful." Serina walked over to the workbench, carrying the bottles and tools from the cupboard. "Eva is a fool who only cares about her superficial control over the estate. Jane's usefulness to her ended when she signed the contract."
"Even so, it is her duty to protect Jane..." The visitor followed Serina over to the workbench, lockstep behind her.
"If Eva cared about her duty, she would never have sent Jane away..." Serina began lining up the bottles on the workbench, but her hands paused, and she let out a sigh. "If she cared about her duty, Eva would have never become obsessed with the processing plant."
A long silence stretched out after that before the visitor responded. "I'm sorry, Serina..."
"You have nothing to apologize for." A flicker of annoyance showed on Serina's face. "Eva is the one at fault, not you."
"No, I..." They took a hesitant step towards Serina, but another awkward silence stretched out.
Instead of breaking the tension, Serina ignored it and finished lining up bottles on the worktable. Her hands moved expertly as she organized the ingredients, moving with well-practiced motions.
"Serina..." The visitor took another hesitant step forward, then hugged her from behind. "I'm sorry..."
Serina froze at the physical contact. The embrace was nostalgic, and she hesitated to shrug them away. Instead, she stood stiffly in the hug, staring down at the hands clasped around her middle.
She had grown taller over the years, and the familiar embrace had grown awkward over time. Now, as she stood over a head taller than the one behind her, it lacked the impact it had when she was a child, but Serina still couldn't bring herself to break the hug on her own.
"You have nothing to apologize for..." Serina said quietly. "This is unnecessary."
"I know, but..." Their voice wavered and trailed off.
"If this will satisfy you..." Serina placed one hand over the arms embracing her. She gently squeezed them and let out a tired sigh. "Continue for as long as you'd like."
"Thank you."
Another long silence stretched out after that. As Serina stood in the embrace, her eyes softened and the tension drained from her shoulders. She tried her best to hide her emotions, but in the quiet, moonlight-filled workshop, she let a hint of a smile reach her lips.
"We all have our duties..." Serina gave a squeeze on the visitor's arms again. "You, Jane, me... Eva too, perhaps. She is trying to fulfill her duties the best way she knows how..."
"Serina..."
The arms tightened around her, and Serina gave a sad smile. "I too, will be fulfilling my role. My actions may not be correct, but it's the only way I know how."
Another long silence stretched out, and the visitor's muffled voice came one final time.
"When it's time for Jane to fulfill her duty, please go easy on her."

Eva lay naked on the bed.
Between her legs, Jane licked at her sex. The younger woman spread Eva's labia wide and lapped with her tongue. Jane's skills weren't great, but Eva smiled kindly down at her.
"That's it, Jane. You're doing great." Eva relaxed against the pillows and let out a contented sigh. She hadn't even rolled out of bed, and she was already being serviced by a cute girl like Jane. She could think of worse ways to wake up.
Jane's tongue probed at her inner labia and traced up along them. The act sent ripples of pleasure through Eva's hips, but she could hardly call them satisfying. When Jane's tongue reached her clit, she only spent a few seconds licking at the bump before continuing to explore elsewhere.
It almost felt like Jane was teasing her on purpose, but Eva didn't say anything. She wanted Jane to mature her skills naturally. Eventually, if they traded sides enough times, Jane would learn, and watching that growth would be half the fun.
Eva gave another relaxed sigh and prepared for the long haul. She snuggled into the heap of pillows at the head of the bed and watched Jane work with a kind smile.
After only half an hour, Jane looked up at Eva, eyes half-lidded in lust. "My mouth is tired..."
Jane wore an expression of disappointment, and despite the crimson hue burning through her cheeks, her lips curled into a frown. However, Eva shook her head.
"You did great, sweetie." Eva pushed herself up and crawled over to Jane. "That was a great warm up. Now, allow me to reward your efforts."
Eva pushed Jane down and guided their hips together. Forming two crossed 'V' shapes, she smushed her bare sex against Jane's. As their mons rubbed together, Eva let out a contented sigh.
(This is the life... No work, waking up with a cutie like Jane by my side... I couldn't ask for more.) Eva thought to herself.
Of course, she would have to go back to work the next day, but she tried not to worry about that. Instead, she focused on the feeling of Jane's mound grinding against her own. After the warmup, Eva reached orgasm relatively quickly.
