=========================================

You wake.

You're disorientated, your mind is a confusion of all kinds of horrible stuff. You don't know where you are, or how you got into this bed. It's warm and quite comfy. You remember the Trader. You remember the cliff, the river, swimming into a cave, then meeting Kyn. You remember the wolf and sanctuary in his rooms. You also remember the tea, and that you haven't actually eaten anything in almost a day.

First things though, the bed only contains you, and you still seem to be wearing the stuff you fell asleep in, so he doesn't seem to have taken advantage of you. That's good, you think, you'd want to be awake for that. He's quite clearly asleep on a mattress next to the bed, and you're now feeling fairly confident he's not a threat at all. Still, hunger is a major factor here, so you jump out of bed and go to explore the kitchen. That's traditionally where you find food.

There's something written on one of the cupboard doors, and you're fairly sure it wasn't there last night. The issue is that it's either really badly written, or not in a language you know. You hope it means "food inside, please eat", but are also slightly worried it could translate as "this is all poison, don't eat". You peek inside anyway and find delicious smelling things you've never seen before. One round item full of holes is extremely tempting. You take it.

The object *could* be poison. It doesn't smell like it, but that's usually the point in poison. You figure you can try eating it and if you feel yourself starting to die, you can throw it up again.

You consume the entire cheese. It WAS delicious.

The next priority on your mental list is the toilet. Again, it's been over a day. You slip into the bathroom, do your stuff then return. You're still a bit tired, and you've hit the social problem of what to do when you wake up before the host. You crawl back in to your bed and notice that Kyn has rolled out of his sheets. It's not as cold in here as it was yesterday, and he seems unaffected by the lack of sheets. You however are not unaffected by the lack of his  sheets. Whatever dream he's having appears to be quite intersting, and you can't help all the thoughts running through your head. 

In the end, you decide that crawling into his shorts while he sleeps is probably not going to end well when you don't really know the guy that well. You instinctually feel he might be receptive when he's awake, but while he's asleep is just a little weird. Still, he's asleep and you're kind of horny, and you know you can be quiet when you want to.

It doesn't take long to bring yourself to climax, but somehow it isn't very satisfying. You want Kyn to do it. Still, you've taken the edge off, and sleep starts coming on again. You decide to throw caution to the wind, and make your move. Blowing someone in their sleep might be a bit rapey, but you can play Damsel in Distress well enough, and think you can get away with just snuggling up with him for the rest of the night.

Efa now has better jiggle!

I made the switch from the old Rigflex which works but is a bit troublesome, over to Spring Bones which are far easier. They seem to look a lot better as well, and should work even better when the model is designed to work with it.

As usual, loads of cloth issues. I've started to get the jitter in fabrics down a little, and know how to fix it, but it will take character remeshing to work fully. I'm considering giving up on simulated clothing and just making them part of the models, and make different models based on current clothing. On the fence for that one. Luckily, a decision I can put off for a little while as nobody has clothes on right now.

The script has been through so many rewrites. These kind of scenes can be awkward, and I don't want the conversation to feel bad or cringy. Don't think I nailed it, but it's not as bad as the first few drafts. Other than that, there were a few bits that I couldn't get the models to do, and a few complex motions that were up for the chop for a bit.

In the end, I set myself a deadline of getting this out by the end of the month, I'm hitting that, though I wanted it to go yesterday. Missed my soft deadline, but still inside the hard one.

The breakdown of votes are as follows:

Perfect time to run away ( 16 votes / 2.2%)

Go back to sleep ( 54 votes / 7.3%)

Check if the wolf is still out there, get your top ( 116 votes / 15.6%)

He looks warm and fluffy. Join him. ( 534 votes / 71.9%)

Honestly, is anyone surprised this one won? The big real surprise was how many votes in total. 743 at time of closing is absolutely mental compared to previous votes. All of the commands were added by voters, except the bathroom one. Movies seem to go for hours of action with nobody needing the toilet, so we needed a bit of realism in the talking animal animation.
