[@PaulHaynek] [@Enkryption] [b]The morning after...[/b] [color=fff79a]"Well......at least it dried off through the night after I splashed it with the spring water in my haste. Thank the gods, no one saw me come back here naked."[/color] A well-rested and dressed Kerry stepped out of the forest, returning from retrieving her clothes she left behind at the hot springs. The hornet stretched her alluring form as she took in the sunrise, the inhabitants of the temple grounds emerging from their homes to begin the new day. She must admit, Shizuyama had some of the most stunning sunrises she has seen in all of her travels. Along with her current mood, it made Kerry feel like she could take on the world. Speaking of mood, Kerry felt good. No....scratch that. She felt [i]fantastic.[/i] [color=fff79a][i]In fact, I haven't felt this good in years.[/i][/color], thought the hornet as she turned her head toward the temple with a smile. To where the mad hatter still slumbered inside. Alice wasn't exaggerating when it came to the bedroom. Oh, Kerry put up a valiant fight, even had the former ruler on the ropes a few times, but in the end, Alice left the hornet a blissful mess. The spearwoman shyly looked away, still smiling as her slightly flared red. [b][i]She kinda hoped there will be a repeat or two in the future.[/i][/b] Shaking her head to ward off the thoughts, Kerry would go search for Takamori. She felt it was time to do something about his [b]very[/b] wayward daughter.
