Unfamiliar Faces

You get up and head over to the grill.

"Boit, is that true?"

"Is what true?"

"You fighting other Tamaranians before."

Boit turns to look at you.

"Did B'naga tell you that?"

"Who?"

"That'd be me, brah," Floppy-ears interjects. "B'naga of the Floppy-eared Kohms!"

"Oh. Yeah, B'naga told me."

"Well, B'naga forgets to mention that I tried fighting them before going big, and managed to land a couple punches as my little self. But eventually, my hand was forced, and I had to go big or go home. And that those knock-out punches came a couple punches later than he makes people think."

Boit sneers at B'naga, whose floppy-ears droop with guilt.

"But he is right, taking those hits from me and still moving is an impressive thing. Here, have an extra big burger! And Blackfire, you too!"

Boit hands you two plates, each with double-patty hamburgers oozing with mustard. You sit back down with Blackfire, and chowdown.

About an hour later, the party seems to die down, and a few guests leave.

"So is it just you living here, Boit?" you ask.

"No no, Radian is my roommate, that's how I can pay for the place and still keep my Horba. And I use the extra rooms to house tourists while they stay. Speaking of which, you and Blackfire are welcome to stay the night."

"Well..."

"Hey, man, it's late in the day. If I were you, I'd turn in instead of trying to make it all that way without sleep. So you gonna stay or what?"

"Alright, we'll stay."

The room cheers and applauds, and Boit leads you and Blackfire to the rooms.

"Here, you two can have 'The Lovers' Suite,'" Boit says with a sly smile. It was a nice room, with a Queen Size bed, all soft pink and red. It is when you and Blackfire put your things in the corner that you notice she is still wearing her swimsuit.

"Blackfire, you know you can change out of that."

"Yes, but I don't want to," she replies.

You shrug and follow her back to the den. The only guests left other than you and Blackfire are Foxy, Nuh, B'naga, the green girl on his lap, and a couple more females. One has coal-black skin and shoulder length white hair, with completely yellow eyes and a red string bikini. The other is a bit chubby, wearing a t-shirt over her swimsuit, a polka-dotted two piece judging from the bottom half.

The chubby one is talking with Radian. Perhaps he likes girls like that...? The coal-colored one is by herself, sipping on her Hiccahp with a bendy straw.
