By the end of the day the group was stepping into a teeny town of only a few streets, exhausted and starving. It was just after supper, the smell of food still wafting from the only inn sitting on the outskirts. None of them complained to getting dinner, and pleasantly found one table for all six of them.
Ashlin was surprised how calm everyone was with each other as they ordered dinner. The conversations around the table remained friendly and light, avoiding anything too serious that could start a brawl. Reyn was throwing her moves at Jay, which kept them both busy at the end of the table. To keep Eli from mauling over the siren and fighting Jay, Ash engaged him in a conversation about fighting techniques with different weapons, and which was best. Xael soon got into it too as did Braxton, everyone having their own opinion on the best weapon, and how to use it. They spoke well through dinner and into a few rounds of drinks.
As their night wound down, the first two to disappear were Reyn and Jay, the pink-haired Siren looking excited with the arm candy she'd won. Xael left next, wanting to see if there were any shops and keep an eye out for Luna who should've made it to the town well ahead of them, but might be wandering aimlessly. It was blatantly obviously to Ashlin that Xael was upset that he'd not seen Luna all day. The poor vampire was already infatuated with the red-head, and his mood had been slipping lower and lower as the day went on. He came back fifteen minutes later, looking like a kicked dog as he explained the shops were closed, and there had been no sign or smell of Luna.
"Probably continued wandering the woods," Ash offered, trying to think positively for his sake, "She'll find us Xael. Like Jay said multiple times today, she's an amazing tracker."
"Sleep might help," she continued, getting up and smiling sadly at Xael, "A nice bed to relax in, and I'm sure by morning she'll be here."
He nodded, more out of politeness than anything. They all strolled up then separated, Elijah having his own room with a girl waiting inside, and Xael having his own room, that he sulked into and closed the door, locking it loudly. Ashlin worried about him for a few more seconds, until they were in their guest room with the door shut and locked. She took a few breaths to shake off the sympathetic feeling, and crossed the room, checking out the queen sized bed and tiny bathroom. While she was inside the small room she quickly flicked her wrist and waved her fingers as she skimmed them across her body. Adding a quiet incantation, her armor evaporated, leaving her momentarily naked, the cool air welcomed on her soft skin.
Ashlin added a second spell to change her into something sexier, and the result was rather pleasing. She wore transparent red laced panties with a matching bra, tickling her skin and leaving little to the imagination. A small string of diamonds connected from the middle of her bra down to the thong she wore, along with two more that hooked from that string to the back of her thong along her hips, hanging loosely. Her whole body had a soft shimmer to it, her ivory skin kissed with a glittery glow. With her long black hair falling in cascades over her shoulders, Ashlin looked stunning.
"Hey Braxton," she purred to Brax in a sultry voice, stepping out of the bathroom and leaning against the wall, letting him take in every inch of her, "Any thoughts of what we should do tonight?"
