CatDance #40 (Epilogue 2 - Conclusion)
#49 of CatDance
The Ultimate Advice
The conclusion of CatDance story in which Kitty gets a letter and Muz-Ra gives the Ultimate Advice. Four words which are appropriate for all times and all places in the multiverse. Follow these four words (okay, 5. One is a contraction) and you'll know the secret to a long and happy life.
(A helluva lot better than 42!)
| "A letter from Solitude?" Kitty asked as Muz-Ra handed her an envelope.
After yesterday's marathon session with soap, water and scrub brushes, the residents of Castle Kitty had managed to clean up the kitchen to a respectable level and the stench from the fire had almost disappeared. What wasn't respectable was Muz-Ra's outfit - or more specifically the lack thereof. Kitty almost didn't notice, having known the lusty Argonian for so long. But as she looked back, Kitty suddenly realized she was looking at a naked Muz-Ra.
"Red! Did you do that to the courier again? Really?!"
"Sure! I think he's beginning to look forward to it in fact. Mustn't disappoint the poor guy." |
"Oh, no problem Kitty. I'd have been back before, but you know the Jarl. After a day of no Muz-Ra, he gets irritable to the staff around Dragonsreach. Irileth practically begs me to come and visit."
"Somehow I doubt they have to twist your arm much," Kitty smiled at her friend.
"No, not much," she replied.
"So, sounds like you and the Jarl are still as hot for each other as ever?"
"Oh definitely! Why the other day we were playing in the dungeon and he found this big..."
"STOP!" Kitty shouted, forestalling the inevitable details. "I do not want to hear it!"
"If you insist. Let's just say that we both have very vivid imaginations!"
"Well, I'm very happy for you, Red." |
"Oh! It's from Illdi. She's a student at the college I met. She gave me that book to read."
"What's she say?"
"Let's see... 'sorry I missed you before you left'... 'congratulations'... 'teach me'... OH! Oh no! I have my first student!!!" |
"Yeah! She's coming right after I accept her. I'll write back to her tonight."
"Oh, don't be afraid Kitty. You'll make a fine dance instructor. I'd best get back to the kitchen though." |
"Yeah. I've gotta let the Jarl recharge his batteries."
"Oh, is that what you call them?" Kitty joked as Muz-Ra left the room. |
"Oh, hi K'rris. Say, Ubergard. I'm thinking of going to the Bannered Mare tonight. Want to come along?"
Ubergard looked at K'rris, who nodded happily.
"We'd be glad to! We're... kinda going to go on a date."
"You two?" Kitty asked, incredulous. "On a date!?"
"Well yes." Ubergard stated. "You got a problem with that?"
"Oh no! Not me! I just... well. I had no idea..."
"Hey, it's just a date. Don't go making some big deal about it."
"I wouldn't dream of it." |
"Yes?"
"Don't tell Red. We don't need her brand of 'advice' just yet."
Kitty mimed locking her mouth and tossing a key away. "Not me!"
"Too late," Muz-Ra laughed, walking around a corner. |
K'rris spoke up, interrupting her. "...we'll figure it out between ourselves, thank you very much!"
Muz-Ra considered that, as if pondering the thought. "Yes," she concluded. "You're right. You may not get it right at first, but experimentation is always more fun that just being told the right way to do things by a subject matter authority."
"RED! We're just going on a date! Unlike some people, we're not going to jump in the sack tonight!"
"Ubergard, I'm offended. I'll have you know I waited a week before the Jarl and I jumped into the sack!"
"As I recall, that wasn't your preference."
"Yeah, well. Still..." |
As they were heading back inside, Muz-Ra shouted after them. "JUST ONE THING K'RRIS!"
"YES RED?" K'rris called back.
"DON'T NEGLECT THE CLITORIS!" |
From the author:
...ending with words of wisdom throughout the ages across all times and places from Muz-Ra!
And now a bit of a hiatus for Thanksgiving and perhaps a bit of adjustment to the Khajiit and Argonian textures before the next story starts. |
