"Don't be disappointed if it's a boy."
Looking up at me again, Mavyx shakes his head. "Disappointed?Never... I..."
The poor guys seems lost for words and I find myself compelled to comfort him by reaching out to run my fingers through that dark hair of his. "My belly is still blue," I jest, prompting him to continue gently stroking that warm, silky oil into my skin.
He's quiet for a long while, all his attention on his gentle task. "Will she do that again?" he finally asks, voice raw.
"Maybe. If we wait," I shrug. "It might be a little while, though."
"I will wait," he murmurs. "I have many 'little whiles' to give. I can give my little whiles to your youngling, Ah-Lanah."
CHAPTER 21: MAVYX
"This is ridiculous," my Ah-Lanah complains as I guide her through the village, my hand covering her eyes. "I'm going to trip up and land flat on my face in a moment," she gripes, one hand gripping the wrist of my hand that keeps her sightless, the other blindly reaching out in front of her as I slowly guide her from behind.
"Nonsense," I huff, before bending down to murmur in her ear, "I would catch you, female." I love the way her skin pricks with little bumps and she shivers. I especially love that I am able to coax that reaction from her. Reaching forward, I skim the soft underside of her outstretched arm with a finger before tracing ticklish circles on her palm. Just before she pulls away, I secure her hand within mine, threading our fingers together. "Trust me, Ah-Lanah. I will not let you fall."
It is a promise I mean with all that I am.
But still, I must apparently keep her eyes covered as I move her to the center of the village. I have been under strict instructions from my High Spearess to keep Ah-Lanah distracted all morning.
And what a glorious morning it has been.
Distracting my mate with my tongue while I sup at the temple of her cunt is no hardship at all, and I hardly needed any incentive to do so. When Ah-Lanah had attempted to slide down my body to offer me one of her wonderful blowing jobs, I found myself having to distract her again. Not that I would normally decline such attention from my mate, but Serena had told me that all the females wish to hold a traditional human celebration; something called a 'baby shower' - and knowing how Ah-Lannah does not wish to show the tribe how her skin becomes speckled with my stars after swallowing my seed, I thought it best.
A 'baby shower' is not something I, nor any other Trixikka is accustomed to, but if it is important to the females, then it has become important to the tribe as well.
Everyone is quiet as I continue to lead my mate to the gathering space. Nearly the whole tribe is there, including some males that have flown Skye, Chaz-Titi and Gwen here for the human tradition. We are still missing those that continue the Eastern Search and receive less and less word from the party as the weeks soar by. If there are still further females to be found out there, I am confident the males we have sent can find them.
Today, however is about Ah-Lanah and showering her youngling.
All the females are on the seating stones around the unlit fires. They wear big smiles as we approach and have used some of the jungle's larger leaves to make something called 'bun-ting' to string around the gathering space as decoration.
Beside us, an Elder shifts out of the way, making the quietest of sounds.
"Who else is here?" Ah-Lanah asks, her head whipping in the direction of the Elder. Her senses are so keen, I suspect she may make an excellent hunter should she ever wish to take up the spear.
"No-one," I chuckle, urging her on. A few of the other females, cover their mouths as they watch us approach the largest sitting rock. The females have decorated that, too. There are temporary etchings using a clay paste saying human words - I am told they say such things as'baby-mama', 'bun in the oven'and'preg-nant A-F'…though, I do not know what they mean, I deduce they are celebratory sayings from their homelands.
Gently, I seat my Ah-Lanah on the decorated sitting rock and remove my hand from her eyes.
"Surprise!" all the females cheer - a greeting that brings a huge, beaming smile to my mate's face.
"What are you guys doing here?!" she near squeals before looking like she's trying to get up to dole out the embraces the females always give one another. Though, her rounded belly has made movement a lot more difficult during these past few weeks, she's still determined to get up and do things on her own - despite my insistence that I do things for her. Thankfully, the females all rush to her so that she doesn't have to get to her feet this time.
"It's your baby shower!" Skye explains. "Well, a baby shower - Trixikka style, anyway."
"Guys! You didn't need to do this," Ah-Lanah protests, though I think she is happy for the celebration anyway.
First, the females all gift my mate items I understand are of use with a human youngling. Bea has made many things called 'diapers' and Serena created something called a 'rattle' from a hollowed out charra seed husk and other items inside. What use it has, I do not know, but Ah-Lanah seems pleased by the offerings to her youngling.
Next, Tessa approaches, wearing a beaming smile, a small satchel made of a strange type of hide in her hands. "I asked the guys to help me with getting you something," she says, clutching the sack with both hands. briefly, she glances around at the Trixikka gathered. "Lots of them wanted to help so I got lots of... um...donationsto give to the Temple."
Ah. She has bargained tributes of seed and life-stone in exchange for this strange satchel, then.
Opening the sack, Tessa reaches inside and brings out a handful of odd-looking... things. I can only liken them to sticks, though it is clear they have never seen a tree or plant. They look like they are made of the same strange material the female's 'ship' is made from. On their sides is a small clear section and when Tessa picks one up, tilting it this way and that, I can see the center is hollow and filled with pink liquid.
"I asked them to give me anything that will be useful for you and the baby," she says. "The floaty ball thing said that this is a powerful medicine used for pain." She sets the first odd silver stick down and reaches for another one - this time filled with sky-blue liquid. "This one will rid the body of all possible infection and speed the healing process."
