Sneak Peek!

Keith placed down his brush, stepping back to review his work. Maybe the smaller details weren’t needed, the audience certainly wouldn’t see them from their seats, but he’d poured so much time and work into the scene that he wanted it to be perfect for him more than them. This was one of his last pieces before the show, the benefit of him being obsessive towards his work, and it was beautiful. The fine golden foil sheen practically glew beneath the lights, a fine shine to everything, the royal blue he’d just painted accenting the stairwell leading down to the ballroom floor. It was three dimensional, with actual fake columns being set forward and the chandelier ready to be lowered into the set, actual stairs for the actors to descend.  He was proud to say that the Altean Regal Theater would definitely being using this set again. He was confident of it. The noirette took a step back, wiping a bit of sweat from his forehead, scrutinizing his work. His paint stained T-shirt hung loosely from his shoulder, the black material permanently stained with evidence of his past works, the newest golden and blue stains joined with the myriad of colors spread across the cheap fabric. He hopes the owner of the theater, Alfor, likes it. Keith only got the job here because Allura loved his stuff so much, but he doesn’t think he’ll get to keep his job here if the dad doesn’t like it. He’s feeling pretty confident though, especially since he’d finished a good month before his deadline. Satisfied, Keith reached down and plucked up his long forgotten coffee cup, taking a long and rewarding sip as he let his shoulders relax, relishing a job well done. He dropped his brush into a dirty cup, also caked with years of paint, letting the fine bristles soak away the blue.

I've seen in your shop that there's no option for the Gorou acrylic charm anymore. Does that mean he's out of stock? If so, do you know yet if or when you'll restock him? Thanks in advance^^

Hello! Thanks for your message! Yes, if a character is no longer listed it means they're sold out! Most likely the next pre-order session will be at the end of September! So that will be your next chance to snag Gorou or any other older/newer designs you might want! I will also be attending Kumoricon at the beginning of November and I will have all of my Genshin merch (and others) available at my table too!

Chapter 10

(Warning! This is my first time writing smut! Be warned XD)

Lyra had never been this surprised. She knew that Turquoise was somehow able to become human, but part of her didn't want to believe it. But it was true. He stood before her, a little bashful, dressed and standing on two legs. She wasn't able to close her mouth anymore. „You know, it's kinda embarrassing when you look at me like that.“ It took her another moment to be able to think again. „S-sorry. It's just...I wasn't sure if you could actually become human. Just how-?“ „You don't want to know. And you promised not to ask.“ „Oh, yeah. Sorry. Anyway, you look like a mess. Where did you get those clothes?“ She tried to fix his outfit as a distraction to the thoughts forming in her mind. She still wondered how he was able to transform, but there were new ones. Thoughts that made her eyes wander up and down his figure. Thoughts of the things they could do now. „Err...“ He hesitated to answer and let Lyra work on his clothes. „There was an open window and some fabric. I didn't really know how to put this stuff on, so it took me a while.“ „So basically, you stole them?“ „Y-yeah...But what could I've done? Do you want me to run around naked?“ She sighed and shook her head. After a few more fixes here and there she took a step backward and nodded proudly at her work. Now he looked like a real human. One that lived in a civilized environment. „So, are you done?“ She nodded again as an answer. „Now you're ready to go amongst humans.“ His smile became wider, but also more nervous. He was excited to live the way he always wanted to. Even if it would just be a for a short time. Without another word, she took his hand and guided him to the marketplace, where the bonfire was already lighted. He twitched a little at the sight of the huge fire, but then he couldn't take his eyes off of it. Every single thing in this village was new to him. The houses, the people, and the way they interacted with each other. He would never be able to experience any of that in the sea. Lyra gave him the time he needed to take everything in. „This is amazing. I never thought that humans could be so...“ „So?“ „I don't know...Fascinating.“ „You were always fascinated by humans, weren't you?“ „Of course! But this...this is beyond my imagination. Thank you, Lyra.“ The smile he showed her gave her goosebumps and she had to turn away to hide her red cheeks. They were silent for some time until Turquoise tugged at her clothes and pointed towards someone next to the fire. „What are they doing?“ When Lyra followed the direction he was pointing at, she saw a few men preparing instruments and the people around them gathered in pairs. „Ah! It's time for the dance!“ „Dance?“ „I told you about it, right? It's when couples dance around the fire.“ He looked at the couples postioning themselves and then back at her. He had this expecting look in his eyes Lyra knew too well. He wanted to try it out. That realization made her a little nervous. „We-?! B-but you don't know how to dance.“ „Then teach me.“ „There isn't much to teach. Just observe the others.“ He did without a moment of hesitation. They stayed like this for one song, talking about all kinds of things Turquoise wanted to know. Once the song had ended, he straigthened himslef, turned to Lyra and held out a hand. „Would you do me the honor and dance with me?“ Seeing him acting like a gentleman was a weird sight, but one Lyra would like to see more often. She smiled, took his hand and both went closer to the fire. He was a little clumsy at first and wasn't able to follow the rythm properly sometimes, but neither was Lyra. They laughed at every misstep and every wrong turn. They didn't care about the others. Everything they needed in this moment were each other. It was as if the whole world around them stopped in time. They didn't even realize how long they had been dancing until both of them were out of breath. „W-wow...That was...“ „Fun?“ „Yeah!“ They were standing beside a tree now, watching the other couples that still had some energy left. Even though she promised not to ask him, she couldn't let go of the question about his legs. And she couldn't keep it in any longer. „Turquoise...I know you don't want me to ask, but I think it's a little strange how much you want to keep it a secret. So...“ She didn't finish her sentence when she saw his face. His body was a lot more tense than before and he blushed redder than she ever saw. He was clearly feeling uncomfortable. „You don't need to answer if you don't want...“ No, it's just...I guess I have to tell you one way or another. I just don't know how you'd react.“ She wasn't really sure what kind of thing he was hiding that could make her mad. „Don't worry about that. Just spit it out.“ He hesitated and looked to all directions to make sure no one would hear them. He waited another moment before he cleared his throat and started. „You see, Sirens are born human, actually. So they can return to being human as well. But only under certain conditions.“ He waited again, but Lyra wanted to know more. „What conditions?“ „Just once a month and only for a day.“ „So why didn't you do it before?“ „Because there...is another condition. And this is...well...“ He wasn't sure how to phrase his thoughts and with every word he spoke his face got redder. It was making Lyra more impatient. „Well?“ „...t-to mate.“ She let the word resound in her head several times. It took her a while to properly understand them. But once she did, heat rose to her cheeks until she was worried her head might explode. „Y-you mean-?!“ „You don't have to-! I-I mean, we don't have to-!“ The silence that grew between them was more than just awkward. Both weren't able to look at each other anymore. Lyra hadn't expected him to say something like this. Yet part of her was glad he did. It was the same part that told her to stay when they first met, the part that kept her with him, the part that wanted to do something forbidden. And this part was now stirring up a weird feeling in her lower body. She inhaled and – against all warnings and moral standards – she followed that feeling and took his hand. It startled him, but he slowly understood the situation. There was a spark in both of their eyes that made any more words unneccessary. And so, they sneaked away from the marketplace towards a barn that was the farthest away. She made sure no one was following them before she closed the small side door. Even though it was dark inside, the fire from outside was bright enough to make them able to see each other when they were close enough. Time slowed down when his hand finally reached for her chin and he kissed her. Even though he was now human, the sparks formed between them anyway. Only that this time, they didn't stay at the place they touched, but they filled her whole body with a thunderstorm. Lyra was surprised at how greedy she actually was. While he was still in the staring phase, she already worked on undressing him. One button at a time. He realized her desire and fastened his pace as well. He lowered his hands down to her butt, massaging the soft skin, while his tongue licked her lips, asking for entrance. She let him enter and the dance they had finished only ten minutes ago continued in their mouths. Once Lyra had unbuttoned his shirt and slided it off of his shoulders she wanted to continue with his pants, But Turquoise was faster and did it himself. She was amazed to see that his arousal had grown this large in that short time. When he caught her staring he let out a small chuckle and pulled her back into reality by gripping the hem of her skirt and undressed her to her underwear in one fell swoop. The sudden chill gave her goosebumps, while he was a little dissapointed to see that her dress wasn't the only wall of fabric he had to overcome. He pulled her closer to him and let himself fall into the hay, pulling her down with him. They resumed their kissing and the feeling of his length between her thights made the thunderstorm in her lower body grow fiercer. Getting off the breastbindings was the most difficult thing. Turquoise didn't even know where to start and growled in frustration until he gave up and let Lyra take it off. She didn't hesitate to take off her panties as well. Both had to stop for a moment to catch their breath, exchanging meaningfull glances and smiles. They were ready. Without hesitating any further, Turquoise rolled over to lie on her and gave her one last deep kiss before he put all his strengh into entering her. She hissed at the unfamiliar, yet amazing feeling of him being inside her and tightened her grip around his shoulders. It encouraged him to fasten his pace until both of them were about to reach their limit. Her mourns and pleads when she finally came turned him on even more and made him reach his limit soon after. Both lingered like that for a while, enjoying each others warmth and breathing heavily. Lyra never thought her first time would be like this, but now that they were lying in the hay, completely exhausted and laughing, she knew his was the way it was always meant to be.

Chapter 9

„Sorry, I'm late.“ Her breath was short from running. Turquoise had already waited on his rock and splashed around his tail impatiently. „Where were you?“ „I had some preparations to do. The village is busy around this time of year. She sat down on the sand and patted the place next to her to signalize him to sit down. He jumped down without much effort and took her chin to pull her in for a small kiss. „No kidding. I can see all kinds of people running around. And it's every year. Is that some kind of tradition?“ Turquoise had told her once he found a good spot to observe the humans without being seen. That's how he knew about this. He just never knew the reason. „More or less, yes. I'm not sure about other villages, but we're always like that.“ „Why are you so busy?“ „It's because of the festival.“ He shifted to the side so he could lay his head on her lap. She knew this behaviour and granted his wish to be petted. While playing with his hair she started her explanation. „It's a special event where we celebrate something. It can be various things, but this time we're celebrating the good harvest and the end of summer.“ „Sounds interesting. Tell me more.“ he asked with his usual curious look. Lyra giggled and continued. „You see, there will be a great feast and plays and a lot of alcohol. No one will work that day and just have fun. And once it's dark, there will be a huge bonfire and couples will dance together.“ Remembering the previous festivals she had experienced made her giggle again. She wasn't sociable enough for that, but seeing the drunk always made her laugh. Her laugh stopped though when Turquoise said something. „I'd like to see that.“ Both were silent for a while, looking away sadly. He wouldn't be ble to partcipate for two obvious reasons. If he'd be seen by anyone, he'd be captured right away. And even if they'd accept him (which was basically impossible) he wouldn't be able to do anything. What he said next was just a mumble and Lyra wasn't even sure if he wanted her to hear it. „Well, it's not like I couldn't go there.“ „What do you mean?“ He felt caught and blushed while he tried his best to avoid her eyes. „Err, well...I mean...t-there might be a way I could go there after all.“ It was rare to see him this shy. He was usually rather blunt with his words, but this time he seemed to avoid whatever he had in mind. But Lyra didn't care why he was like that. If there was a way of getting him savely into the village, she'd take that chance. „How?“ she asked impatiently. „It's not easy to explain, you know? It's...well...you might not like it.“ He was still avoiding her eyes, but she turned his head to make him look at her. „Turquoise, listen. This would be your chance to be among humans. I don't know how you're gonna do it, but isn't your wish to be like a human? You said you wanted to change. So this could be your chance. You shouldn't think about me. It's your decision.“ Lyras serious look amazed him. And her words even more. She was right. Even though he worried about what Lyra might think, this was probably his only chance to be a human. He gave it another few seconds of thinking before he answered Lyra with a shy smile on his face. „Okay, but I won't tell you yet. So promise me you won't ask.“ She was a little surprised, but nodded anyway. Whatever his way of going to the festival was, he wanted to keep it a secret. And Lyra knew he always had a reason to keep things secret. The most important thing was, that they'd be able to be together without the fear of him being captured.

The day of the festival couldn't come fast enough. Turquoise promised her to meet her in the evening and she trusted him. But not knowing what might happen made her nervous. And her mother seemed to notice it. „Why so nervous, dear?“ the older woman asked, while they were preparing the dinner of todays feast. „Err, nothing. It's nothing.“ Lyra tried to brush it off and distract herself with her work. But her lie was too obvious. Her mother giggled and continued in a small-talk tone. „Could it be that you'll be having a visitor tonight?“ „I-I don't know what you mean.“ „Lyra, you've been dating this man for some weeks now. And I've never seen anyone in love, who would've missed the chance of dancing with his partner. You're no exception.“ Her mother was right. Lyra didn't tell Turquoise to come over just for him to be like a human for once. She did it for herself, too. So she nodded bashfully. „So we'll finally able to meet him. And who knows? Maybe after that, he'll decide to stay?“ „That would be great.“ Lyra said to herself. But she knew that wouldn't be possible. She still didn't knew what way Turquoise would have to be able to come here, but she had the feeling it wouldn't last long. Because, if he had a way to be a human forever, he would've done that ages ago. Remembering that made her sad and she sighed.

It was finally getting darker and the whole village was celebrating. The children were almost falling asleep in their mothers lap, the men were drinking and bragging about some stupid things or challenging each other to armwrestling. And the teenagers were glancing at each other, gossiping over who'd get a dance. The only one still waiting was Lyra. She stood in front of the village entrance, pacing up and down once in a while or looking into the far when she thought she'd see something there. He promised to meet her today, but the later it got, the more worried she was. Her imagination created various reasons for his tardiness. They didn't make her worry less though. Just when she wanted to go to the beach to check that he was alright, she heard something rustle behind her. She expected it to be something small like an animal, but when she looked behind her, she saw a something that was too big to be an animal. And the noises it made weren't what she expected either. She shadow came closer with mumbeld swearing, trying to find a way through the bushes. When it was close enough, Lyra saw who it was. „Turquoise?!“ She immediately covered her mouth when she realized how loud she was, checked if anyone heard her and finally turned back to him again, who was trying to het rid of the leaves that got stuck on him. „Sorry, it took a little longer than I thought.“ he whispered. She didn't heard his words completely, because her focus was on his appearance. There were no scales on his face anymore and he wore clothes. Plain and messily dressed, but at least he wasn't naked. But the most noticable things was the legs. His legs, no tail. „H-how...That...“ She kept staring at those two limbs she never saw on him before. „Yes, that...Like I said, it's hard to explain.“ A shy smile was on his face again and he rubbed his neck. „B-but...You're human!“
