Chapter 8 : Morning
Mica kept her eyes lowered as she stared down at the plate of scrambled eggs that had been set down on the table in front of her. While sitting right across from her, and clenching her jaw in obvious anger, Kianna was openly glaring at the clearly uncomfortable looking shinoccubus.
The next morning had found them, along with Anton and Fiona, all sitting together at the kitchen table and in the process of eating breakfast. Fiona and Kianna were in their normal seats while Mica currently sat next to Anton on the opposite side from them.
The dark elves were no longer dressed in their dominatrix garb but were now wearing the comfortable cloth shorts and tank tops that they had slept in. Fiona wore a yellow colored top with white shorts while Kianna was in a matching set that was a light pink in color. Anton was similarly dressed in a pair of dark green boxer shorts and a black t-shirt.
Mica on the other hand was not quite so comfortable. Clad in nothing but her thin panties, bondage gear and a scarf which was still wrapped around her chest, she couldn't help but to feel as though she had been left far more naked than dressed. Her arms were still held bound by the Bolero straight-jacket, and the belt that had kept her wings trapped inside her body was still buckled around her shoulders. Her blindfold and gag had thankfully been removed once she had been led upstairs and placed in her seat, but the harness that would hold her gag in place was still wrapped tightly around her head.
Surprisingly, her bare legs had been left unbound, though her now cramping tail was still wrapped tightly around her waist with its bladed spade still safely locked away.
"...Is everything alright over there, Kianna?" asked Anton as he read through the news on his laptop.
"No, it's not!" exclaimed Kianna as she scowled at Mica and pointed her ears straight back "Why is she sitting on that side with you!?"
Mica quickly glanced up at the dark elf before immediately dropping her eyes back down to the table.
"Because I don't know how safe it would be to sit her over there, next to either of you two." said Anton in a matter-of-factual tone "And by safe, I mean that for all three of you..."
Kianna huffed as she tightened her eyes in annoyance. Her expression softened and became wicked looking as her eyes began to glow with a faint red light.
Mica stiffened as she felt the air around her begin to thicken and become heavy. Glancing back up at the dark elf, she gulped audibly as she was greeted with a sinister looking smile.
"...Uh, um, hey." whimpered the kiochi as she tilted her head and looked up at Anton "Can I just go back to my cage? Please!?"
Anton glanced at her before looking at her untouched plate.
"Not until you eat something." he said as he shifted his eyes back to his laptop "You'll make yourself sick if you go too long without anything in your system."
Grimacing in sorrow, Mica brought her eyes back to her plate as she hunched herself down onto her shoulders.
The glow in Kianna's irises began to brighten until she noticed that Anton's eyes had become focused on her from over the top of his laptop. Registering his obvious "Stop it!" look, she froze immediately before dropping her aura and sheepishly looking down at her own plate.
Breathing a sigh of relief as the aura faded from around her, Mica eyed her plate of eggs for a moment before grimacing again.
"So, how am I supposed to eat this?" she whined as she shifted about in her straight-jacket "I can't even use my fork."
"Well of course you can't..." muttered Anton as he clicked about on his laptop "Did you really think you were going to be allowed to have a sharp item like that?"
Mica gave him a sideways glare before turning back to her eggs.
"So what am I supposed to do then!?" she cried as she struggled against the thick belt that held her arms in place.
"Hm... Well, I guess you'll just have to do the only thing you can do, and dive in face first..." mumbled Anton in an absent tone "Or, alternatively, you might try to convince one of the dark elves to help you."
Kianna's face immediately lit up with a smile as she leaned over the table.
"Oh! I'd be so happy to help you!" she cooed as Mica nervously cringed back and away from her.
"No, it's okay, I got it." declared Fiona as she quickly picked up her half eaten plate and got up from her seat.
Making her way around the table, she set her plate down next to Mica's before taking the chair from the end of the table and moving it closer to the shinoccubus.
Anton and Kianna both blinked in surprise and looked at each other as Fiona sat down and began to diligently feed Mica while still eating her own food.
"...Um, what?" questioned Kianna "...What are you doing?"
"What?" said Fiona as she offered Mica one of her sausage links "I'm feeding Mica?"
Eyes going wide in excitement, Mica snatched the offered sausage and quickly devoured it before sheepishly glancing up at Anton as if to make sure that what she had just done was okay.
"Okay? Why are you being nice to her all of a sudden?" asked Kianna as she tilted her head and cocked one her ears in a curious manner.
"I'm not. But she needs to eat. And I know you wouldn't be able to help yourself." explained Fiona as she raised a forkful of eggs for Mica "All you're going to do is try to choke her the whole time. Or stab her with her fork. You'd just end up hurting her, and then leaving her hungry....Right!?"
Kianna's expression soured as she huffed in affront and glared at Mica. Glancing over to Anton, she shared a look of surprise at this unexpected event with him before he grinned, shrugged and went back to reading the news on his laptop. Huffing again, Kianna focused back on eating her own food while continuing to cast darting glares at Mica.
When he was finished with his meal, Anton slid his plate to the side and was startled when Fiona reached over to pick it up.
Without a word she set the empty plate on a stack with her own as well as Mica's and Kianna's. She then took the stack to the sink where she began to wash them all.
Dumbfounded, both Anton and Kianna stared blankly at her while a confused Mica looked back and forth between the three of them.
"...Huh. Well this is a nice change of pace." mumbled Anton as he leaned back in his seat "...Thank you, Fiona."
"Oh! Of course, Master! Anytime!" cried Fiona in a cheerful tone as she looked back over her shoulder and nodded to him.
Kianna's mouth full open in surprise as she and Anton both looked at each other again.
"What's going on!?" mouthed Anton as he raised his hand to indicate Fiona.
