Pit Stop

The cart came to a rocking halt, Tifa suppressing a surprised yelp as the wood creaked all around her from the sudden shift. A small yelp escaped the chocobo pulling the whole ordeal, with the coachman hushed and cooing at it to calm it down, Tifa freezing on the spot as gruff voices approached outside. They spoke in a language she wasn't familiar with, though the one in charge of the carriage certainly seemed to be, and with a few short sentences, the drapery was pulled aside and he gave her a wry smile.

"I gotta go negotiate the toll, dear, back in... just a moment."

"Wait, toll? To who?"

"Roadside orcs, lady. You stay in here in the meantime, and we'll get you to the Don soon enough."

With that, the drapes shut the evening sun out of the carriage once again, and Tifa simply sat and listened as their footsteps grew faint on the gravel. Soon, it was silent, and she let out a low sigh, leaning her head to the left and right to elicit two satisfying pops from her stiff neck. If he was going to be away for a while, she figured, it was only fair she'd catch some of the last rays of the sun.

"Oh."

Having been so very focused on listening to the exchange outside the cart she hadn't noticed the palisade outside. Her eyes followed the curvature of it, noting how it stretched far into the woods on one end and met a large wooden gate on the other, something she had to lean over the side of the cart's railing to see. A grunt of surprise reached her ears, and she peered down along the side of the cart, noting a lone figure staring at her in abject surprise.

"... oh, hi, hello... there." She heard herself mumble, trailing off as she noted his massive stature, the orc striking a tall, imposing figure with bulging green muscles no matter where she looked, a spear in hand, and a simple loincloth to cover his lower sections. His eyes remained on her, and she realized only after following his gaze that it wasn't surprise that was writ on his tusked face - rather, he was staring right at her bosom, with her orbs tantalizingly pushed upwards by the cart's railing, in wide-eyed interest.

"So uh... you guarding, I take it?" She cleared her throat, feeling how her face heated up, something that only got worse as she noted a very much visible twitch under the orc's loincloth. Tifa opened her mouth to speak, but found her voice frozen, her eyes wider than the orc's as she simply watched how the cloth rose, slowly but surely, into a curved, horizontal position. A moment later, it slid to the side on its own, revealing a veiny, green member that all but pulsated in excitement, pointing right at her.

This time, the orc was the one to clear his throat, and her eyes darted from his lower parts up to his face where, expecting some kind of smugness, she was instead met with a leveled gaze, full of purpose and, clear as day, a question.

With her heart beating louder and louder in her ears and, to her embarrassment, realizing the small trickle of excitement already running down her inner thighs, Tifa found herself nodding, shakily.

Hopefully, the coachman's negotiations would prove long-winded.

I've finally managed to sort out Tifa's Scenario, as voted on in May of this year. First facing a delay owing to a sudden hospital scare and then requiring a full rework owing to model shenanigans, it was an uphill battle with a scene load that was beyond what my GPU really should be able to handle but miraculously managed to sputter out anyway. It's got more than a few flaws, and I definitely wish I'd spotted some things in the few times I was allowed to do test renders, but it came out presentable enough in the end for me to feel like it deserves a public release.

I hope you enjoy it folks, and thank you so much for your support, your kind words, and for your patience. The wife's recovered at this point so the medical scare seems to be over, and with this Scenario out of the way, I can finally dedicate time once again to the Ivy project and the EDI comic. More news on these two things in the near future, you have my word on that. Aftermath for Tifa is coming up tomorrow for the Alley Crew, since it's a result of that tier's polls, so as to make sure I'm clearing out the schedule proper once more.

In the meantime, I hope you're doing well out there, all things considered. To facilitate this, take care of yourselves and those around you, as much as time and energy permits.
