Jason's alarm went off, waking him out of a peaceful and relaxing dream. He felt the two women next to him, Phalmina and Xaera, moaning in frustration as they made protesting noises about the alarm. Groaning as he got up, Jason reached over and shut it down, to both his and the ladies' relief. He sighed and closed his eyes and felt their loving embrace all over him.
A ray of sunlight peeked through the curtains, warming up Jason's skin nicely. He sighed as the sun reminded him of his work obligations that day and he made to get up. Just then, he heard a scream of pain and saw a flash of blue bolt out of bed, away from the sunlight. Xaera was huffing and puffing and clutching her arm, as though she was wounded.
"What's wrong?" Jason wondered as he padded over to where Phalmina was comforting Xaera.
"Though Xaera is only half troll, she apparently has inherited a troll's weakness to sunlight," Phalmina explained.
"So, her walking outside on a sunny day is..."
"Impossible, or she will no longer be living stone and flesh, but pure stone," the fairy told him and showed him the mark on Xaera's arm. Where the sun had touched was a small area, but Jason could see the damage done to it. Where it had been a rich blue, her skin had turned to a greyish concrete color. Thankfully, the blue was creeping in and soon overtook the grey, banishing the ugly color.
"How...?" Jason began.
"A troll's healing capability is legendary, surpassed only by that of a dragon. Wounds that would incapacitate or potentially kill any other being, a troll can shrug off without issue. Their only real weakness being pure sunlight, which will kill them almost instantly," Phalmina supplied.
"Speaking of which, we probably should have gone out last night to reactivate the portal stone," Jason said, facepalming himself as he remembered.
"And I blame you for that mister!" Phalmina griped.
"What? It's not like I told you to frig yourself to an orgasm so intense, you couldn't think straight," Jason shot back. Xaera giggled and nodded, seeing that Jason had the right of this argument. Phalmina hmphed and turned on her heel, heading for the bathroom.
"Are you sure that you're going to be OK, Xaera?" Jason asked, looking over her arm.
"I will be all right, thank you. Like Mina said, my ability to heal myself is rarely surpassed. As long as my exposure to sunlight isn't great, I can recover from it," Xaera told him with a smile.
The troll woman then kissed Jason, to thank him for his concern. Her hands started roaming all across his naked body, as his did with hers. Jason growled as he could feel himself getting hard again, which was helped along by Xaera's hands. The man moaned as he wanted this to continue very much, but he stopped his troll lover before he got too hard.
"As much as I'd like this to continue Xaera, I have obligations to work today," he told her. Xaera then visibly pouted, thinking she was being shut down after he had her once.
"But that doesn't mean that I won't want to finish this when I get back," he told her with a grin. Xaera's face then brightened, and she hugged him, holding him close to her. Jason hugged her back, knowing that he would likely be taking the troll woman to bed regularly. Not that he minded, as he had a lot of lost time to make up for.
"Will I be joining you two in said... fun times?" Phalmina asked as she walked out of the bathroom.
"But of course!" Jason told her as he moved make use of the bathroom, swatting her ass as he walked past. Phalmina yipped at the blow and glared at Jason playfully as he chuckled and disappeared into the bathroom. He popped out of a few minutes later, and walked to the kitchen, fixing the three of the breakfast.
"So, what are we going to do until night falls?" the fairy woman asked.
"I have a few ideas. You two ever heard of television?" Jason asked as fried up a pack of bacon. Both women shook their heads, never really having experienced modern technology.
"In this case, you two are in for a treat!" he told them with a chuckle. He directed them to sit on the couch as he made their eggs and toast. He then had Phalmina pick up the Xbox One controller and press the power button on it. The looks on their faces was priceless when they jumped back, scared of what was happening on the TV.
"It won't hurt you ladies, so relax! Mina, breakfast," he told her as he brought their plates over. Looking down at the plate, Phalmina smiled and dug into the food. Xaera was similarly engaged with her plate, which was heaped with double of what Jason gave his fairy lover.
"Now, if I can get your attention ladies, we call this a 'controller', which is used to control that device right there," Jason explained.
He took them through the ins and outs of working an Xbox, and how to navigate the myriad of programs on them. Both women were astounded by Netflix, Crave and Amazon. There were so many shows that they were wondering what to choose! Jason helped them by getting them started on Outlander, which was a book series that he enjoyed as well.
As the Gaians were busy with the show, Jason fixed his own breakfast and munched on it. He watched the ladies' fascination with the show and how they appeared enthralled with it. Chuckling to himself, he finished wolfing down his food, selected a set of working clothes and got dressed.
"You ladies going to be ok?" he asked, as Jason grabbed his keys.
"Don't interrupt the show!" Mina groused and Xaera growled in agreement.
Laughing, Jason let himself out, letting the women know that he'd be back later. Making his way down the stairs, Jason felt like a million bucks. He danced across the lobby and let himself outside, walking along to the bus stop. He would have kept going, but something stopped him, something... odd.
Jason craned his head, looking around for the oddity. He found it almost immediately, in the form of two well-dressed men, who were standing by a white Audi. They seemed out of place in this bohemian neighbourhood, like they didn't belong. Both men were too well kept to be hanging around this place, and Jason decided to find out what they were up to.
He turned around to face them and one of them suddenly dug into his pocket, removing a cell phone. The one with the phone in hand berated the other, and Jason could hear how they'd gone to the wrong place. They argued for a split second before getting into the car and taking off, away from Jason.
Jason thought it was odd how guys like that were mucking around here. Sadly, he wasn't able to get a read on them, as they'd taken off before he'd used his Gaian senses. Though odd, it wasn't a rare occurrence, as he'd seen nice vehicles in the area from time to time. Jason brushed it off, but decided on keeping vigilant, considering the things he'd learned in the glade.
He walked along to the bus stop, not overly bothered by the event. Jason figured that he should keep his senses active on a regular basis. That and he still had yet to truly bring his magic to bear on anything substantial. Because of this, Jason knew that he'd have to get some practice in, where he knew what he was doing. He didn't want to have to rely on pure instinct to save his ass all the time.
The bus pulled up, and Jason continued to mull over what he would do for practicing his magic. As he took a seat, a few ideas came to mind, and he smiled, thinking them quite clever. His focus soon went to the day's work and what he'd need to do that day.
