With time off, Karl decided that it was likely best to just focus on personal improvement. He still had Remi and Cara at Royal Rank, and while the spaces were pushing them upwards, they hadn't managed to break through yet.
It would only take a little longer to force them to advance, and if he could do it during the days off, they could have a party.
[Party?] Cara asked.
[Yeah, a little celebration for you reaching a new Rank. Since we have a day off, we could do something fun, possibly order a cake.] Karl suggested.
Cara considered it for a few seconds, then began to roll around on the bed. [Maybe later.]
Cara must be feeling lazy today, if even the offer of a party wasn't enough to get her motivated. But Karl continued to work on the energy levels and quality in the spaces anyhow. Soon, they would all need to be at the same level, and preferably before the students went to school and the team was reassigned.
"Oh, you need to keep doing whatever that is. It's so good." Lotus nearly purred, pulling Karl from his meditation for a moment.
Dozens of thoughts, each more lewd than the one before, were going through his mind, but when he opened his eyes, Lotus was frowning at him.
"No, don't stop. You were leaking power into the tub, and it makes it both warm and tingly." She explained.
Sybil nodded in agreement, still trapped in Rae's arms, but not trying to get free, as she was enjoying the extra bubbly hot tub.
The cleaners were likely going to hate them for this brilliant idea, but for the amount that Karl was paying for the suite, they could suffer the occasional mess.
For a few hours, everyone just relaxed, enjoying their time off. Then Rae called for room service, and that was everyone's cue to get dressed for the day.
Karl noticed that before she even started to stand up out of the bubbles, and without even attempting to dry off, Sybil changed into a black silk martial arts outfit that had to have been made by Rae.
For one, it was bonded. Secondly, it was Monarch Rank silk, and Rae wouldn't let her baby Rogue wear someone else's silk.
It was an excellent gift, and now Sybil wouldn't have to replace her training and infiltration clothes for most of her lifetime, if ever. Most likely, it would become her most prized possession.
"There are towels over there. You don't need to get dressed while still wet." Karl informed her, in case the Rogue had simply missed their presence.
Rae giggled. "Sybil is body shy. She got into the tub fully dressed as well, and only after the bubbles were in place."
Sybil nodded frantically, then grabbed a towel and ran to the bathroom to dry off and cycle her outfit so that it would come back dry.
Karl got out of the tub, and everyone was drying off when Sybil came back out of the bathroom, then covered her eyes, squeaked, waved her hands, then ran away.
"She's easily embarrassed, isn't she?" Dana laughed as Rae vanished to go recover her Rogue.
[The Sybil is funny. She's ashamed to not be all muscles like the rest of you.] Rae explained a few seconds later.
Karl considered that. With all the walking and travelling that they had been doing, they were all pretty ripped, even with the good eating. Despite what Cara thought about his backside.
Both of them might have just been slow to grow, as they were the newer arrivals, and Remi was still quite young for a Naga Queen. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
