Homeworld Bound Part IV

Posted on Wed Sep 16th, 2015 @ 9:40pm by Colonel S'er'in'e & Samanthia Akiashiro

Mission: By Dawn's Early Light
Location: Cait

Samanthia woke up, once again well sated and content. She slipped out from the bed and began prepping a bath. She looked over the tub in amazement as it could easily hold several humans comfortably. Maybe she would have time to send a brief message to those she cared about, but right now a bath would work wonders for her.

After managing to free himself from the blanket and restore some feeling to his cramped leg he heard the water running for the bath. This bath was typical in size for Caitians. He had no doubt Samanthia would deeply enjoy the bath. He pulled on a robe and followed the sound of running water into the Bathroom. "Would you like some company, or would you like to enjoy it alone?" He didn't mind which, he was happy to leave her be to fully enjoy it, sit beside her while she soaked in the bath or if she so wished join her.

Samanthia looked at him, "What ever suits you." She gave him a smile as she straighten up. Turning to face him. "I'd like it if you joined me. I can wash your back and you can do mine." She wasn't shy with him as she stood there bare as the day she was born. She put up her hair in a loose rat nest bun. She motioned him to get in first. She had his grooming kit laid out next to the big tub within easy reach.

He smiled, not missing another chance to gaze her once over before dropping his robe. Seeing his grooming kit ready it was obvious at that point she had read up on its use and how to use them. He'd never had someone else groom him before. He slowly moved into the water feeling it rush under his fur, a soothing warm feeling washed over him as he sank into its watery embrace. "Ready?"

Samanthia smiled as she took in his furry masculine physique. She stepped in the tub and kneeled in the space allowed her to work. She was hard pressed to do the job right in getting his back and fur done right. Using the appropriate brushes and scrubbers, she was a bit awkward at first till she got the hang of scubbing his back. She enjoyed the concealed jets of water that removed the dirts and grease from the bathwater. She was a bit startled at the antics of his tail as she had straddled it. Being a bit energetic and curious, she explored the possibilities of his tail with her antimony.

She was not overly rough with his fur, the odd snag or two but nothing he worried about but she did well for the first time between them. It was very relaxing to reach the places he was unable to reach. If anything the tails of Caitians are very sensitive, when she started to play with it he felt his blood boil in a very good way.

When she finished up and switched places with him, amidst bunch of splashing and giggles. At least one complete dunking for the both of them, settled in front of him. Her hair was loose and draping down her back.

Now it was his turn, making sure his claws were away his used his furry hands and sponges and washed her back, shoulders and sides. He was handy with the soaps making she he didn't miss a bit. By now he'd calmed down from her tail play but that didn't stop him from some gentle caressing himself and this time he was the one exploring with his tail. Meanwhile he was using his large hands and fur to wash her down with water to remove the suds from her.

She sighed contently as it felt good to be sharing a bath once again. Even though knowing deep down it will happen rarely. Samanthia enjoyed every moment. She knew time was marching on even though she wanted to stay and enjoy being with S'er'in'e. She had to fight for self control as he explored and teased. Onse she was clean and rinsed, she stood up, letting the water fall off her and stepped out from the tub to dry off. Wrapping the towel around herself, "All your's!" As she left him in the bathing room alone.

He was not far behind her, he exited the bath allowing it to drain and dried off. He'd already picked out something suitable to wear for the day with his parents. It was good to share the bath and not as bad as he expected considering his size vs her own. Though he admitted to himself her touch was gentle and welcome. some light grooming with a brush made every thing proper. "When you are ready to leave let me know and I will prepare our transport."

Samanthia rejoined S'er'in'e, she was wearing a halter top with a floral pattern in pleasing colors and a knee length skirt. For cooler temperatures she has a sweatshirt with 'Hawaiian Classroom' over a wave curling with a surfer riding the wave, tied around her waist with the logo clearly seen. On her nylon covered feet, sandals. Her hair loose and pinned back just enough to keep it out of her face. "I'm ready," Giving S'er'in'e a smile full of natural warmth as she looked him, nodding her approval. "Should I grab a phaser to keep my escort mine?" She spoke lightly as she hugged his arm to her. "You have permission to touch me in public if you so desire, My big Fluffy Cat."

"As am I." Indicating he was ready. He smiled at her comment of a phaser. "I think we should be safe, we are not meeting any officials or dignitaries thus we are simply ourselves." Her gentle touch made him feel warm and wanted. "Thank you." He looked down at her and smiled before brushing his cheek once again against hers. "Let us go then."

S'er'in'e had a surprise for Samanthia. The trip was as he indicated in duration but when he landed there was a Market place just a small walk from the landing area. He was not sure if Samanthia dressed such because she remembered or because she wanted to express her own fashion expressions. Not that he minded in any case. "I have a surprise for you." He lead her to a shop that had all manner of fabrics, patterns and materials all across the front of it, a female Caitian in vibrant gold fur patiently waiting in the shade of the overhang to the door looking on.

Samanthia enjoyed the view offered as they traveled. Enjoying the walk with S'er'in'e to the marketplace after they landed, gave her a chance to really look at the other Caitian that were visible. Then the fabric store came to into view with it's brightly displayed cloth. "Ooooh!" She gave a startled gasp of surprise. She walked faster to get to the display and looking it over. She moved from bolts of cloth to the next. Pausing a second as she realized that the vibrant gold cloth was another Caitain. A bit surprised, "I am sorry mistaking you for another bolt of cloth," As she pulled her hands away from the golden Caitian. "Please forgive my rudeness."

The female smiled having taken no offence.

S'er'in'e smiled and exchanged a few words with the female present after the required bow. The female looked at Samanthia with a smile and gestured her inside. S'er'in'e smiled knowing what was in store for her. "I can not enter, you will be very safe but also I believe it will be something you won't forget." S'er'in'e bowed and smiled at both before stepping aside.

Ushered inside Samanthia found herself sharing the room with another three females in addition to the one. One spoke up. "Please, stand here. We will not harm you but we need to measure you."

Another spoke. "Please disrobe your outer layers." There was a raised dias in front of Samanthia and a yellow circle around it with steps at different intervals.

Samanthia did as directed, disrobing till she was wearing panties and nylon stockings. She stepped up onto the dias as requested. She stood still, giving the golden Caitian a nod to proceed with what ever they had in store for her. So far she had been treated well considering the circumstances. "I love the cloth you have on display. Think of exporting it off Cait?" She was curious and knew this cloth would make a fortune for both the makers and sellers.

The disrobed clothes were neatly folded and placed within view. "If you wish for our fabrics we will provide the documentation needed."

Moments later all the females stood next to her with writing tablets in hand. "Please have your feet shoulder width apart and be quite still."

What followed next was a display of incredible skill, as the circling females walked slowly around Samanthia each tail coiled, followed or lined a part of her body. Inside leg to ankle, shoulder to wrist, chest and bust, around the neck, hips and thighs. Aside from the occasional tap of foot claws on the wooden floor the whole ordeal was done in silence and took only a few minutes.

When finished one spoke. "We have finished measuring you, please dress and select a fabric or fabris you like. From then you can tell us what garment you wish made from them."

It was torture not to move as fur of the tails tickled her skin, making her want to giggle. Then a light blush at where some of the tails went, causing her to remember what she used S'er'in'e's tail for earlier. When finished, she dressed quickly. Then took her time in choosing the fabris out she would like. "The different shades of yellow with the border of those fire colored flowers? One Caitian Formal wear." Then looked over the rest. Spying a pure white cloth. "That one." She pointed to it. "A dress that is Victorian in style." Seeing the confusion, "A period of time on Sol-3, Earth. The Victorian era." Picking up a pencil and paper, drew a brief sketch of what she was referring to and showed the Golden Caitian she wanted. Letting her take the sketch from her if she desired to.

"If it don't get you in trouble, I'd like to place on credit or charged to the Akiashiro Merchant Consortium, One each bolt of cloth to be shipped to Starbase 332 in care of Akiashiro Consortium for me. Samanthia Akiashiro." Pointed to herself as she spoke her name. "If it not possible, let me know." Giving the Golden Caitian a soft hopeful smile.

"We will make all the arrangements." One female spoke.

Meanwhile S'er'in'e patently waited outside occasionally looking around at the scenery, flowers, even the fabrics available from time to time. It was expected that he would be gathering some attention from the females that passed, one even complimented on his appearance before continuing her walk. The attention was not as focused as before when standing before officials but he was happy to wait for Samanthia while she enjoyed something unique.

"Would you like undergarments made also or outer attire only?" The golden furred female asked.

"We see you wear leg wrappings, would you like some made also?" Another asked noting the stockings. The other two were busy collecting the information from all the devices and putting it into a single unit.

Samanthia thought for a few seconds. "No thank you. How long will it take to get the garments made?" She smiled, showing appreciation. "I'd better get back to Big Fluffy before he wanders off with another on his arm." Giving the Golden Caitian Female a smile.

"A day approximately. You are smaller than us so the required work is reduced." Came the response. The golden furred female walked to the door and opened it. "We shall contact you when your garments are ready." She could see through the open door that S'er'in'e had patiently waited.

Hearing the door open he turned, smiled and bowed at the female. Knowing Samanthia would soon walk through he had something else to focus his attention on instead of noticing the attention he was conscious of getting from others.

Samanthia smiled as she was glad she had a good reputation with Akiashiro Merchant Consortium and they would cover her expenses quite willingly as long as she didn't run up to big of a bill and if she could turn a profit would increase her line of credit with the Consortium. She exited the store and pausing within hearing of those inside, "Thank you. And also give my thanks to your assistants. You and them have been most helpful." She gave the place where she was staying with S'er'in'e as an address and place of contact.

She quickly joined S'er'in'e, "I hope you've haven't been waiting long. They will call us when the clothing is done. Shall we continue our journey?" She glanced around slightly nervous at the stares they was receiving.

"Not long." He answered. "I hope you enjoyed yourself?" He leant forward and brushed his cheek against hers. "The main Market plaza is this way." Indicating a walk way leading off to the right.

Samanthia smiled at the cheek brushing. "I am," She whispered as he brushed her cheek. Then looked the way he was pointing. She turned and proceeded up the path, holding his hand paw in hers. Declaring S'er'in'e was hers and hers alone as she walked gracefully next to him. She enjoyed the fresh air and the some of the scents that vegetation around them provided.

The Marketplace was teaming with shops and displays offering a wide array of wares and goods. Even as they walked and those seeing an offworlder present were friendly, even stopping to allow them to pass instead of cutting them off sharply by walking in front of them. Smiles, nods and welcoming gestures could be seen all around as they saw the pair walking. "Is there anything in particular you as seeking?" He asked his companion.

"I want to look at it all," Samanthia spoke excitedly, as she gave hand motions of 'thanks, enjoying homeworld,' in return to greetings of welcome as she talked to S'er'in'e. She was like a kid in a candystore and all of the cases open giving access to the free candy. The adult in her held her back with caution. She was enjoying the sights, warm sun on her exposed skin and cool breezes when a wayward drift went by her. Taking lead as she kept a firm yet gentle grip on his hand paw. "Kinda reminds me of a few flea Markets and Bazaars back on Earth. Diversity." Looked up at him with a big smile that can not be faked as warmth shone forth. Eyes sparkled from the ambient light.

He was happy she was enjoying herself, that was after all what he intended to happen. "We will look at as much as you wish." He followed her, smiling at the energy and happiness that radiated from Samanthia as she by hand, lead around with zeal over 500lbs of companion.

Samanthia moved through the Caitains with ease, and without disturbing them as she moved from stall to shop and back again. She muttered a polite 'excuse me' when brushing a tail, arm of a Caitian, any other part of their anatomy as she passed by them. She had released S'er'in'e paw/hand and disappeared into the throng of Caitians in her enthusiasm. With her UT jewelry able to communicate without S'er'in'e help if the Caitian couldn't speak Trade Speak or Federation Standard or her native language. Those that she spoke to that just knew Caitian, she hoped they was patient and waited for UT Jewelry give the translation of what she had said. She was respectful and paid attention to them as if they was the most important being in the universe.

S'er'in'e worried if only for a moment when Samanthia let go of his hand but calmed a fraction later. This was the Homeworld, she was a female and nothing would happen and even if something did culture was that others would come to her aid if he couldn't in time. Her size made her hard to locate with the to and frow of Caitians browsing the Market. He himself was not kept from the attention circles however, though spotting other males and even those with a single ear sheath. They offered respects and he returned them, he located a food shop and found one of his favorites, not as good as his Mother made but nothing ever for anyone beat Mothers cooking.

"There you are! I thought you left me." Samanthia ruffled his head fur as she past him to sit across from S'er'in'e, with a few packages nicely wrapped. "I'll have what he's having, but a way smaller portion," to a passing waiter(ess). Turning her attention to him, smiling, to the amusement of others of his Caste that was present. "I'm ready, when ever you are. Did you get anything for your mother? Flowers? Candy?" Setting her packages on the nearby chair next to her.

"Mother is not the sort for gifts, she is a practical female." S'er'in'e replied happier now Samanthia had joined him again. Food arrived and served. "Flavouring might be a little strong but you might enjoy it." He thought about his family, they would be pleased to see him certainly and for him to bring home a female would please his parents also, but he wondered what his Mother would quiz Samanthia about.

Samanthia gave him a soft glare. "Mothers love to receive gifts from their off-springs. Even if it is frivolous, it'll show that you still love her and appreciate her." And a soft smile. She then tested the food before her. He was right about the flavoring, still she enjoyed it, taking sips of the strong drink that S'er'in'e seamed to really enjoy.

"I shall defer to your feminine judgement." He smiled as he quickly ate his meal. The portion ordered was small in comparison to the eater and perhaps more to Samanthia but he enjoyed it anyway. "What would you suggest as a gift suitable for the occasion?" He asked.

Samanthia looked thoughtful, "It's too late to get a picture of you taken in your dress uniform. A box of her favorite treat is always nice." She finished up her small portion, enjoying the atmosphere around her. It had the familiar buzz of conversation, People relaxing and enjoying a brief rest before resuming their hectic schedules. Many similiarities, yet difference in languages, customs and species.

S'er'in'e had to think, there was one thing that came to mind. "I have an idea. If you would excuse me for just one moment." He hoped the shop was still there, it was the only place he could find it and he knew it was a favorite of his Mother. He returned only four minutes later with a neatly wrapped package in fine silk in one hand. "I am ready." He hoped she still liked them, though not hard to find the best ones were always more expensive to acquire. He brought his tail forward to which it held a smaller package, just as delicately wrapped. "For you."

"You shouldn't have," Samanthia smiled warmly as as she accepted the gift. She gently took it as she rubbed her hand against his tail. She opened it up and admired the necklace of silver with a medallion of a paw print over a star. Her eyes widen in delight. "It is beautiful, Ser!" She took out the necklace as she closed the box and stuck it in her pocket. She put it on and hugged S'er'in'e. "It is beautiful." Sounding delighted, yet muffled by his fur.

Samanthia released him and grabbed her packages to indicate she was ready to go.
