Cordjal, seventh Bloom's eyes bored into Bryce as it slid towards him before lowering down its massive frame, squatting down on the floor with its two pets and guest. It brushed a thin vine to Bryce's face to sop up his tears "We can't be having that, poor baby. I'm glad you decided to come by again, do you think you're in a good enough headspace to talk with me on something serious?" Bryce rubbed balled fists into his eyes before inhaling a deep breathe and looking to Cordjal "I'm so sorry, I think I know what it'll be about, you can tell me." The Affini's sapphire eyes guttered for a moment, darkening before returning to their brilliant blue flare. "You don't seem fit for independence, you're quite bad at hiding it too." If the affini had a face to its form, it would be smiling. "I've been writing up a wardship contract, I think it would be preferable for you to be with me considering your fixation for my darlings, and they're keen on you too. The alternative is, I would have no choice but to report you to the BXWC, and honestly it should be the default option here. However as previously mentioned, you seem to have already bonded with my connivents." It's tendrils raised in a weighing gesture, "There's a possible path to independence in the former, there isn't in the latter, and less still that you would wind up here without a significant amount of work on my end as there are many of my kind not yet with one floret and in my greed I would aspire to have a third? Absurd!" Its tone was mirthful as it threw its left vine down in dismissal to punctuate, before leaning closer to Bryce, Jasper and Dani flanking him. "I'm sure this is much to process and I did ask if you were in a proper mental to talk about this as it is time sensitive." Bryce pursed his lips and came to a quick decision, he wasn't far off in his guess. "I would agree to the wardship, I'd like to stay with you Dani and Jasper." He clenched the hand of the deer floret in one hand and ran the other across the meaty paw of the pup. The two florets squealed in delight at the statement, squishing their foster between them as they nuzzled happily at him. Cordjal's mask bounced up and down, nodding approval as it rose off the floor. "Good choice, we will have to finalize some things and I'll need you to go over the writing with me." Cordjal delicately pried Bryce from it's little hug monsters grasp as it faced him towards the display he'd seen it idly type by on the past two encounters. Bryce didn't hate reading, but the affini found a way to turn paperwork into a marathon, a mental desiccant so dry it could put the most pedantic terran bureaucrat to sleep. It gave him a gentle slap on the cheek at his fading interest. "This is important and you don't seem to understand the gravity so I'll explain it simply. One way or another, you're getting an implant. It won't be immediate, I do have a collar for you so others will know you're not an independent, and you'll be taking a few of our xeno-drugs to prep you for this implant. Don't worry, the collar comes with an injector and I do have refills for you, as well as a few non mandatory ones if you'd like to experiment with yourself, for enrichment purposes. I'd like to see you actively participate if Dani and Jasper also decide to enrich themselves, to help facilitate bonding and normalizing you to the process. Failing to meet any of these goals will be a breach of contract, and skip the acclimation process straight to implantation. If you can understand and agree I will need you to sign here, as well as a vocal acknowledgement of agreement to the contract." Bryce rubbed his cheek and traced his fingers to sign his name "I accept the terms and consequences for not meeting the terms aforementioned." Cordjal gave his tiny hand a shake in appreciation. "Good, you'll come with me and we'll get you set up for your first time. I promise its rather pleasant!" Ushering its charge excitedly to its bed chamber, Dani and Jasper frolicking not far behind. The room stood out wildly to the hab it was attached to, dangling fronds unfurled from the ceiling, glowing various shades of blue, pink and purple. The centerpiece was a large rather intimidating bed; like a large jaw threatening to clamp shut, to its left a glass top table sat adorned with boxes of silver vials divided by rows labeled A-Z, besides the door Cordjal lowered Bryce down into a plush, minky enclosure where Dani and Jasper quickly followed suit. The affini rummaged through one of the boxes to dig out what looked like a thick metallic neck pillow, not what he had in mind when he heard collar; it looked uncomfortable. It slithered back towards the cuddle puddle that had assembled and gently affixed the device to Bryce's neck, surprisingly no discomfort came as the device adjusted itself to a less ridiculous proportion; must've seen previous use he mused to himself. "Now, there is the matter of showing you its use and starting your first dosage. These, you see" between shuffling back to the boxes, tapping each row for emphasis. "Are what go into the collar, through a port on the side, for you. Dani and Jasper may take theirs directly. These will help ease your body into accepting the implant when time comes, and its best to condition your body for it early. Now would you two like to show Bryce a demo?" The weed reached into the first box, pulling out one silver vial from the [a] rack, approaching the pet-bed in the corner, it slowly lowered itself all the way to the ground and lifted a bundle of vines to expose a few pungent, dew covered ferns. Dani and Jasper leaned out of the pet bed to lap at the fluid oozing from the foliage, after the two finished their supping Cordjal jammed the silver vial into the side port of the collar with a loud hiss and a quick stabbing sensation on Bryce's neck. "You see what I mean by directly now. Eventually you'll be able to handle it but for now this is safer. Enjoy yourselves sweetlings!" As the affini shifted off the floor and exited the bed chamber, giving its charges some illusion of privacy. Jasper started to pant loudly, hugging herself and rubbing her paws across her chest, whining pathetically to herself. Dani snaked his hands over Bryce, tugging at his jumper weakly, his words were slurred as he pleaded "Hey, take it off! you're missing out on the best part.." Bryce himself started to feel the effects not soon after, his skin began to flush and tingle as he zipped the jumper down and let it fall in the bed, Dani seized the moment and tickled at his ribs, making Bryce jump at the sensation, the two cackling like hyenas. The sensation lingered long after he'd stopped his tickle attack, reverberating pleasure in his core. "That's...interesting." Bryce muttered, head swimming as he dragged his hand across his chest. "Youre missing the best part big bro. Yeah, it feels good when you touch yourself but any one can do that, its boring. It's much better when you--" Dani stopped, grabbing Bryce's hand and guiding it to his midriff, "touch someone else." Bryce needed no further instruction, hungry hands ate every portion of the deer floret's body it could, bleating softly to himself. Jasper watched with special interest at the two boys exploring themselves so passionately, she locked her paws around Bryce's neck from behind, hovering above his shoulder. "You two look like you're having the time of your lives." A little bit of drool chained down her mouth onto Bryce's shoulder as she enjoyed her two man show. "I think you need a little push to do more" She said, emphasizing by throwing her weight down on Bryce, causing him to collapse on top of Dani. The two were nose to nose, Jasper miming kissing noises between short giggles. "Show how much you love each otherrr, kiss faggots!!" For a second time Bryce was surprised, this time by Dani's zero hesitation at the command. It felt good, better than the first time with none of the shame he'd held not so long ago. He kissed back, aggressively pushing his tongue past the soft deer's lips, stealing the air from his mouth before breaking the lip-lock and staring down at his pinned playmate. Jasper was hooting loudly, leaning her paws into Bryce's back, gouging him with her clumsy claws on her massive paws. A small shot of pain turned into repeated kisses of bliss across his back as he moaned softly, he felt himself stiffen, grinding himself against his brother to Jaspers approval. she leaned in again, naughty devil on his shoulder as she planted her own seed to germinate in his mind. "Well don't stop there, you two are both stiff as can be. Someone's gotta fuck someone, and he's fit to be a pillow prince, my liege." She laughed as she dropped the scheming vizier voice she'd done for her bit before resuming riding on Bryce's back, one hand pawing herself as she egged him on, "Better yet, face him my way and we can put this deer on the spit." Bryce snorted out a laugh before doing just that, scooping the diminutive deer and flipping him to face towards Jasper as he laid one hand on the small of the pillow-prince-of-the-forest's back, smacking loudly as the deer yelped in anticipation. Jasper gently rubbed the velvet on his antlers, guiding him to suck her down before Bryce slammed into him from behind, The two sawed in and out of Dani like there was no time left on earth and it was a solemn duty to thoroughly fuck him into a stupor. Soon at his limit, Bryce erupted and collapsed on top of Dani, Jasper didn't get a chance to finish, as the deer boy was thoroughly tuckered out. She sighed gently as she continued to paw at herself "Way to go brother-fucker, now I'll be stuck doing this for the next hour." Bryce looked up at her from still panting from the drug fueled fuck-fest frown quick to plaster on his face, "Don't call me that." Jasper gave a wry smile before stalking towards him on all fours, like a predator sizing up if the game was worth it. "Or what? gonna fuck your sister too? You know that's how the old royals used to do it, my liege!" Bryce gave a faux gasp before reaching one hand out to rub her tummy, she groaned and shot a single quick spurt before collapsing, adding another member to the spent pet society. She gave a breathy sigh, bapping Bryce on the head with her paw "I'm glad you're learning to have fun Bryce, I was worried you wouldn't wind up staying. You're adapting quickly, I'd hate to have not shared this moment with you." Bryce was about to reply, but Dani snored loudly from the bottom of the pile, causing the other two residents of the cuddle puddle to laugh, and considered retiring for the night.
