An Apocryphal Celebration
By the time Sion returned to the baths, the sun had fallen and the night sky took over the landscape. It was late enough that most of the visitors were likely to be long done with their own bathing. Ample time and privacy to both wash and sober up, the water she used to clean herself off just cool enough to help temper her mind. She amused herself with thoughts of Cu Chulainns own myth and how it had taken dunking him tubs of water to return him from his berserker state.
She found the springs predictably empty, the dark skies above now dotted with distant lights. Sion could make out the sound of laughter and play, probably from the Servants that Lancer had described engaging in various games to entertain themselves. Quite a few were hard-partying types, so it would not surprise Sion in the least if they remained at it into the early hours of the next day.
Sion let the spray of water clear her body of signs from her encounter with Lancer. She unfastened the braid she kept her hair bound in to clean it as well, brushing it out over her shoulder as she considered her next move. She was still not entirely convinced of the comprehensiveness of her concept for celebrations. Lancer was a willing companion at philosophizing his own views, but she also knew that he was a figure of a certain culturea culture in which sex was regularly practiced with abandon. She had enough knowledge of other anthropological data to suggest this was not so in many other ancient cultures, so logically there would be variants in current societies.
After shampooing her hair and soaping her body back to a state of cleanliness, Sion took a place in the hot springs again, winding her hair up atop the crown of her head to keep it from tangling about her.
She had just settled in, her chin scraping the surface and knees peeking out just above when she heard voices, footfalls, and a mechanical sound approaching. Two figures made their way through the mist caused by the open-air spring, one pushing the other. They quickly settled next to the cleaning basin.
The one in the wheelchair was Fiore Forvedge. A woman with a balanced feeling of intelligence and naivety, homeliness and beauty. Her lack of regular mobility added an air of a fragile flower, yet her skill in magecraft pushed her toward a sense of fey, like a pixie that you thought might be a cute thing to capture only to have it bite you with an incurable poison.
Fiores brother Caules was, to use a common metaphor, best compared like a little puppy. His youthful features were endearing in an innocent sort of fashion. He loyally followed his sister around like a young dog might their owner, looking for attention and a treat. He was also far more intelligent than his outward appearance suggested, which also lent itself to the puppy comparisonSion felt that, of any of the magi here, he was perhaps the most readily self-aware and naturally watchful, the kind that had a low ceiling but maximized everything he had very efficiently. Idly, she wondered if his disposition in magecraft would make him a suitable candidate for Atlas.
Caules wore a pair of swimming trunks, amusingly out of place in a location like this where the Japanese did not care for that kind of modesty. Although it fit his character, especially as he helped his blood-related sister as she sat herself before the basin and washed herself, although she seemed less concerned with such modesty, with only a towel around her hips.
Sion looked away, certain it was impolite to observe others in this situation even if it was understandable that her eye was drawn to the only others present. Still, she was also the type that liked to observe people, so she couldnt help but steal glances their way as time went on, until they were finished with cleaning. Careful to not startle them, she lightly coughed into her hand to let them know someone else was present in the misty pool.
Caules startled. Fiore did not, although she looked more preoccupied with holding onto Caules arm as they shuffled over to the pool. We were using this to help Fiore with her recovery, the brother said. We didnt think anyone else would be in here, sorry.
No need to apologize, Sion said. It is for everyones use, of course. Additionally, your diligence to working on therapy is to be commended.
Caules gave a half-smile, but returned his attention to his sister, who was carefully poking one foot into the water, holding tightly onto Caules outstretched hand to keep herself steady. Fiore flinched from the heat of the water at first, but slowly eased her way into the spring, and once she was comfortable, Caules followed into the water himself.
Hes only half serious, Fiore said, sighing happily as she grew accustomed to the temperature. It does help a little I suppose, but really, I just wanted to try one. Ive never been to this country before.
Sion nodded in agreement. Even though hot springs were not entirely a Japanese or Asian phenomena in particular, Japan and other Far Eastern countries were perhaps the most accustomed to commercializing such things. I will admit to having the same thoughts myself when we first came here.
Caules settled in, pointedly looking away from the two women. Although he seemed comfortable enough around his sister and his upbringing in magecraft probably meant he was somewhat accustomed to a different sense of tact than normal humans, it was clear he still had that air of innocence about him. Considering her tryst with Lancer, the difference in masculinity was notably more pronounced to Sion.
Oh dont worry about him, its nothing he hasnt seen before, Fiore said. She lifted one of her legs up to the surface of the water, realized she was being rather forward herself, but when Sion did not look upset, let her toes peek out. Hes attended a lot of my therapy sessions.
Yeah, to get away from El-Mellois crazy students.
Fiores legs were smooth and slender, fitting to her body. Since she was now going to therapy to work on their range of motion and strength, it made sense that they looked neither muscular nor unhealthy. Sion made certain not to stare, sure that scrutiny would be the last thing the magus desired.
I have heard of using pools as rehabilitation tools in modern medicine, Sion said. It surprises me that you would use mundane techniques. Even without magical circuit use, there are a variety of Association-sanctioned herbal techniques and potions available to enhance therapy for such an ailment.
Caules sighed. Like Ive said many times
Fiore stuck out her tongue, strangely switching how she had come across as the mature one to Caules youth in Sions mind. And Ive said many times things like this feels better.
Indeed, the woman seemed delighted to kick her legs through the water, breaking the surface and splashing her feet back down like a child might. She appeared only further delighted by the fact that Caules blushed in embarrassment at her antics like he were a parent looking after that child as they caused a public ruckus.
However, as the only observer, Sion did not mind at all. In fact, she now had a sense that Fiore was doing it in particular to tease her brother. From what little Sion knew of their relationship, it probably stemmed from Fiore being the one with responsibilities and stresses while Caules had freedombut now their roles were reversed and she could remind him of it.
Still, Caules said, There have been other ideas to help. In fact, sorry if Im being forward here, but Miss Eltnam, your Etherlite is one of the things I would have liked for her to try if given the opportunity. I know that with it you can control electrical impulses within the body, and I was wondering how that might help her recovery.
Sion blinked at him. The thought of recruiting him swam back to the surface of her mind. That is correct, it can, and while there would be no permanent change in Fiores status, it would be able to stretch muscles she normally would not, as the saying goes. She held up a hand, which still had a bangle around it. Do you wish to try?
Fiore looked thoughtful, actually bringing a finger up to her chin in contemplation. I certainly would not mind, but, as a magus, I must ask what you intend to gain from this. I no longer hold the secrets to my house, so connecting with my mind would be pointless, and there is nothing you seem to gain from it.
Impressed by her consideration, Sion gave a half-shrug. I am a little curious myself in how beneficial it would be, and how much range of motion, even temporarily, you would regain. Additionally, I actually had a question I wanted answered, so I thought I would ask the two of you in return. She stepped up, covering herself with her arm when Caules quickly looked away, then moved to sit down next to the duo.
Oh? And what question is that? Fiore asked.
What does a celebration mean to you? I suppose I am asking why you are still at work here, when it is supposed to be a time for revelry like the others are partaking in. Do you not engage in amusements in light of your recovery?
Fiore smiled, let out a half-laugh at the question. Its nothing so thought-out as that. And this is amusing to me, to relax and feel good in a new place. Her smile widened. And making Caules do everything for me even though hes technically head of my family now.
Im so glad Im so ammmmuuuah?
Caules had turned to glare down his sister at that, but was instead treated to the sight of her and Sion in what would otherwise be a rather risqué embrace as Sion reached around to connect her Etherlite into the base of Fiores neck. Sion had thought nothing of it, but as she was not exactly small in chest and Fiore was not the most petite of women, it probably gave him quite the view.
Oh my, Fiore said, laughing all the while. Whats wrong, Caules? Cant take the sight? You dont mind, do you, Sion?
Perhaps it was the connection brought on by the Etherlite, but Sion could understand the teasing far more than just by simple observation now. There was something naturally endearing about giving a boy such as Caules such a difficult time. At the mental understanding now that she had a near telepathic connection to Fiore, she made sure to hold the magus closer, their bodies pressed together, sloshing the water about. Not at all. Celebrations are meant to be enjoyed, and it is clear that Caules is now enjoying himself.
Beet red, Caules shoved his hands down into the water to cover himself and looked away, off into the fog-obscured sky.
Fiore laughed, but only partially at her embarrassed brother. She now lifted a leg far into the air with more agency and strength than she could muster before, like a person with normally-functioning legs would be able to. This really is something. It feels completely under my control now.
The elation carried through the connection Sion had made, and Sion began to think this was in fact the answer she sought regarding celebrations. It did in fact feel as if this woman were celebrating in earnest now. When the connection is removed, it will return you to the state you were at before, but with this sensation now in your recollection, you should aim for this feeling as you work on rehabilitation. Your body will understand much faster.
Kicking her legs againalthough this time with far more energyFiore nodded. She then sat up and, cautiously, lifted herself up to stand, this time without having to lean on her brother to do so. She then stretched her arms out like she had just won a race. Yes, this is definitely that feeling.
Caules risked a look her way, then shook his headalthough a smile was on his lips. Sis, if someone was on the other side of the fence looking this way, theyd get an eyeful.
Oh please, they can bloody well watch for all I care, Fiore said. Grinning, she reached out a hand and Sion obliged to let herself be pulled up to her feet as well. Clearly delighting in having the strength to do that, Fiore brought Sion in for another embrace. Like this, right?
Sion wondered just how much Caules would take before he just fainted dead away. While I would not recommend such vulnerability elsewhere, I understand your happiness at having this sort of mobility now. She thought for a moment, then smiled over at Caules. Although mages with puritan beliefs are going to have a hard time in the Clock Tower, Mr. Forvedge.
I dont think even mages usually engage in open-air orgies.
Both Fiore and Sions eyes went wide, although they partially exaggerated just to tease him further. Fiore said, I didnt think you could even think of such an idea, Caules. My little brothers becoming a man! She turned her gaze to Sion, and the strength of her arms around the alchemist actually increased. But, I am serious when I say, thank you. Even if for a few minutes, this is wonderful.
You are wel
Fiore kissed her straight-on, and while Sion could detect that under normal circumstances perhaps this would not be something the magus did, the combination of energy and adrenaline from her physical status and the pleasure at picking on her brother made for a different sort of choice. That Fiore giggled into the kiss was not an unpleasant sound or feeling either, as they both felt Caules eyes on them despite the discomfort he was obviously in.
Sion wondered if her own hormones were on overdrive. Perhaps the Celts were onto something, that mix of adrenaline and odd intellectual satisfaction. Fiore was certainly not unattractive
Equivalent exchange, honestly, Fiore said, drawing away just enough and letting the both of them sink back into the warmth of the water. The magus seemed to be in on what Sion was thinking. You can sense how good Im feeling and since it is a sense Im still not used to, the feedback to you is
oh.
Also she was probably emboldened by her physical agency. Sion was drawn back into an embrace, although partially she realized it was not just because of this moment.
Sion realized she was breathing rather heavily. That connection to feelings of elation and the rush of hormones were not actually that good for her own particular constitution.
Oh, yes, that is whats happening, Fiore said. She smiled in acceptance as Sion seemed to move on her own, leaning over the mage for another kiss. Sions tongue pressed aggressively into her mouth, swishing around Fiores own, until the alchemist needed air for her deprived body. Magical energy, Fiore moaned. She needs magical energy, Caules.
Uhwha? Caules could not help but stare at the scene before him, half embarrassed by the intimacy on display by his sister, half caught up in watching someone attractive like Sion in such a state.
Orgies, you doof. Not joking this time! Not that Fiore sounded all that harassed, although Sion was now aggressively sucking on the skin of Fiores collarboneand having a partial vampire that close to her neck probably had her a tad worried. I also wasnt joking about equivalent exchange!
But
Fiore couldnt respond with words as Sions mouth clamped down over the tip of her left breast and any coherent response she wanted to make gave way to a gasp and a moan. Even as her sense of danger rose ever-so-slightly, the thrill from everything coming together had her push it from the forefront of her mind. And perhaps with the newfound sensation in her legs, everything her body experienced felt heightened.
Sions hand snaked down Fiores body but did not at first go to the obvious places. Instead, she started circling around Fiores bellybutton, causing the magus to momentarily giggle. Yes, Caules, Sion said, it does seem as if my body is giving into those kind of impulses. Vampiric hunger is very close to lust. If at all possible, you should join in. Then she thought about what she was saying. With me. I do not expect it would be appropriate to do this with your sister. She looked over her shoulder at him, having driven Fiore to the opposite side of the spring, and decided she was providing the young man with a rather optimal view of her own backside, her hips just clearing the waters surface.
And she could definitely see that it was having an effect on him.
He swooshed his way across the pool to them as Sion renewed her assault on Fiores body, her hands sliding down to the magus thighs, squeezing her legs and eliciting a moan. The Etherlite stimulation meant that Fiore could feel all of this very clearly now, and the stimulation from the hot water beneath them left her nerves in a constant state that resembled tingling. Sions fingers brushed back up Fiores backside, giving her rear a playful squeeze as the alchemist leaned back in. Although I do believe the pleasure is not entirely mine.
No, Fiore said, as Sion moved over her to steal another kiss. The way their wet bodies rubbed together, breasts pressed against one another was not unpleasant. I regret I couldnt share magical energy with you even if I were the opposite sex.
Sion sighed in anticipation as she heard wet clothes being removedCaules was taking off his swimwear. Her hips shaking a little in desire, she nodded. I suppose I will just have to approximate what that might be like, regardless.
Whaohh
Fiores words were drowned out by another moan as Sion shuffled back, both to move closer to Caules and to reposition herself between them. Lifting Fiores legs just enough with the buoyancy of the spring water, her mouth closed around the nub of nerves Fiore had that had yet to be stimulated. At the same time, Sion felt Caules as he nervously took hold of her ass with one hand, the other trying to guide himself into her with the awkwardness of an obvious virgin. At the same time, that awkwardness rewarded itself as he inadvertently kept rubbing intercrurally against her own clitoris.
Oh Caules, Fiore said, We need to get you a girlfriahhhh
Sion thrust her tongue deep into Fiores folds just as Caules found the wherewithal to thrust his cock into Sions. All three moanedalthough Sions was muffled by Fiore as the magus legs came up to the alchemists shoulders to trap her there.
Caules paused to take in the sensation. Fiore seemed to take a deep breath to do the same. Sion filed away the odd but not unwelcome feeling of being filled while also pleasuring another.
As if to tease Fiore right back, Sion began thrusting her tongue into the magus at the same pace as Caules did into her, slowly and hesitantly at first, but with growing desire as time went. She found a balance between them, one arm down beneath Fiore to hold herself up, while the other assisted her tongue in probing Fiore, wiggling and swirling both finger and tongue just enough that the mage wiggled and squirmed in turn. Caules was just smooth enough to not cause her to shake too much as he slid back and forth, his inexperience and careful nature keeping him from rapidly driving into her like a beast.
Although it was enough for Fiore, with the overstimulation of everything going on pushing her to the brink faster than it might otherwise. Sion felt her muscles tense and the sound of her moaning both grew louder and more rapid. Fiore reached out to hold Sions head in place and the alchemist thrust her tongue deep into the womans slicked folds. At the same time, she jerked in place as Caules hips struck hers, and the vibration set Fiore off, who tensed for a moment before going almost completely limp.
Sion sighed as she lifted one of Fiores legs, lips tasting the inside of the womans thigh as Caules own motions became more and more frantic. Groaning, the young mans grip tightened on her rear, then as he leaned forward he grabbed for her breasts as they shook beneath her. His fingers found her nipples and pinched, causing Sion to moan herself, the sensation causing her to tighten around him.
Cum for me, Sion said, looking back over her shoulder at Caules.
He moaned in response, his hands reaching out for her shoulders for leverage as he drove into her, water sloshing about them. Sion felt him explode within her, filling her with the warmth and energy her body now craved, and that sensation was enough to make her shudder in her own pleasure
You cum for me, Fiore said, reminding Sion that the sister was still there. Fiores lips found Sions again as she pulled the alchemist down into another embrace, and one of her hands snaked up between Sions legsCaules fell back, his length replaced by Fiores fingertips, and the same tingling sensation Sion could still feel from the Etherlite feedback crept up on her from within.
Sion made another moan, now muffled by Fiores lips, and she decided that for now, although her vampiric desire felt satiated, she would pursue that sensation that Fiore had herself felt for a while. Her kiss with Fiore deepened as her tongue chased that feeling right back into Fiores teasing tongue.
