"Oh, Carbon! Hold up a sec." Ilaria smiled and nodded as she dropped off her empty dining tray and hurriedly left the Mess Hall. "Thanks, Janet. Food was great as always."

"Thanks, hon."

"Considering it's still real ingredients for now, anyway." Carbon quietly sneaked in a hug for Sydney while she waited. "What's up?"

"This is... odd to ask. I told you about the wedding we're having..."

"Aha. I was wondering when you'd bring this up." The hybrid grinned and roped Ari in for a hug as well. "Oh course I'll be your best man... or, uh... bridesmaid? Yeah, I think I'm more woman than not now."

"Actually... I was going to ask something more in the vein of hosting like you did for my brother. You're technically still a captain even though we're out of Earth space, right?" Ari watched from afar as Rhyme chit-chat with Janet. "Would you like the honor of hitching me and my bro?"

"But... damn, I guess had my hopes up. Why the change?"

Sydney raised a finger and mumbled out, "Um...?"

"Rhy wants to keep things low-key."

"Uh, guys?"

Carbon shrugged her shoulders. "Oh well. I guess a large ballroom ceremony isn't really doable in deep space anyway."

"But--"

Ari sighed lightly as she brought her attention back to the hybrid. "So you'll do it?"

Suddenly Sydney grabbed Carbon by the mask, opened the front, and planted a lengthy, deep kiss on her lips. "No. She'll be busy marrying me... ah... if she'll... have me."

Carbon rapped her knuckles on Sydney's head. "You don't even need to ask, Meerkitten."

"Well you failed to inform me of the bloody wedding, so I figured I'd ask." Cid ducked her head down a tad, then drooped it entirely over Carbon's shoulder. "I mean, I don't want to die with not marrying you on my list of regrets."

"Oh. Is ~that~ what brought this on?" The hybrid pulled her mate closer and held her tight. "I agree. Let's tie the knot before the shit hits the fan. I'd like some happy memories of us before we all die."

"Oh, but... we don't have rings... or a suit and dress..."

Evelyn's black crystal rose from Carbon's neck then split in half, forming two smooth and featureless rings. The living jewelry sought two awaiting paws, landing softly to form a pair of Links. «Got it covered.»

Carbon tried slipping her ring into Cid's paw so they could rejoin, but the super-massive material suddenly prevented all motion. «Eve, we can't let you do that for us...»

«For you? No, this is for me too.» When Carbon ceased her motions Evelyn returned her half back into the realm of standard physics. «You know I'm not letting you get married without me, you two. It's all of us or none of us.»

Sydney sighed and quirked her head to the side. «How does this work on your end? We can just use normal rings or even nothing if this isn't good for you.»

«I wouldn't try it if I wasn't alright with it. Besides, my two halves interact just fine. I'm still me.» Eve proved her point by connecting her halves and then resolving her full body. "See? I'm fine. My particles are quantum entangled so I'm still thinking as one."

"Please don't put Cid into a science coma before we're married." Carbon examined his betrothed veile and came to a nodding conclusion. "You do look like you're just fine though. As long as there's no risks, I'm all for it. We really don't ~need~ rings, though..."

"But we do need a fur on the other end of the altar." Ilaria let out a slow, deep breath as she pondered her options, offering an open arm for Rhyme as she returned mid-thought. "Rhy, Carbon's a no-go for marrying us. Maybe we could get another one of the captains to do it?"

"Really? Wait, why won't you do it?"

"We're joining in with the fun." Carbon perked up with a smirk as she thought of the perfect backup plan. "What about your mom? Cat's an elder of your tribe, right?"

"Yeah, but Rhy didn't want a big fuss... plus there's more of us now and tribal rules won't really apply."

"Nonsense. She was alright with merging Robyn's traditional wedding with a few of your ideas, so why not the other side of that card?" Carbon smiled to herself at a certain thought. "Besides, I'm dying for an excuse to force Vasily into a sirat again."

"Yeah, or we could ~not~ go the extreme tribal route and scare everyone off. Besides, we all have kids that'll be watching."

"And it's because of them that... well, I'd like to follow your traditions." Rhy slid into a tight hug. "Our pups shouldn't be sheltered from any of that unless they want it that way. I grew up without knowing my family and now I regret it. They deserve better."

"That's... amazing of you, hon." Ari tenderly kissed between Rhyme's ears, then failed to fight a bout of giggling. "Just don't say we didn't warn you."

Rhy scrunched her eyes and snapped them between her fiancée and Carbon. "What?"

Carbon finally failed to retain her own laughter and broke down with Ari. "Let's just say... Vasily's sirat ~isn't~ part of the ceremony."

"<Gods... You reach so deep like this!>" The nude form of Fleur rose up and then slammed down with far more than gravity alone as Buck pulled her arms. "<You like this position, no? I feel you getting bigger. Is it--?>"

"<Gods, I'm... I'm gonna cum if you don't...>" Buck stopped tugging in the hope that Fleur would slow down on her own, but the elk leaned forward and smashed her hips into her lover's own at double the pace. "<Well shit... Watch out or I'll c-cum inside you. Ah...>"

Fleur took Buck's hands and cupped them around her small breasts. "<Don't hold back, my knight. You can finish however and wherever you like--but I'm close myself...>"

"<Fuck it. Grah...>" Buck yanked Fleur forward into his chest and embraced her tightly as he began emptying his seed into her most intimate of intimates. "<Holy... I mean... Wow.>"

"<See? You did enjoy this.>" Fleur rolled her hips around her man to milk out all she could from his large, pulsing length. "<I told you it would be great with me in control. You definitely needed some help getting that out of your system.>"

"<That I did. You had way too much fun on top, too. Oh, wait--did you cum?>"

"<I got close enough for my liking. Besides, it's fun to deny yourself every now and then. It makes the relief ~far~ better.>" Fleur looked around the room and smirked as she passed over the two bunks she could spot. "<This is actually my first time under these conditions too. I loved it.>"

"<You do look pleased with yourself. Did anyone actually wake up?>"

"<I think we've all been up ~the whole time~.>" Rose unzipped the airtight liner around her bed and poked her head out. "<I can't say it wasn't entertaining, though.>"

Buck suddenly found himself grabbing for blankets, amazed as Fleur proudly bared her fur to the room. "Crap... You know French?"

"With you two speaking it so much I've been figuring it out. Yeah." Rose shut herself back inside her tent and raised her voice to compensate. "I didn't think it'd be all that useful until I overheard you two going at it. Cute and sexy all at once."

"We loove to loove each ozher." Fleur finally succumbed to the faults of her nudity not out of modesty but due to the frigid temperature of the room. "Zhank you foor ze warmzh, mon chevalier."

"Yeah, at least you two are comfortable." Carmine groaned from the bunk above as he rolled beneath his sheets. "Maybe now we can all get some sleep?"

"Hey, they deserve some time together. You should know better than anyone how Fleur feels, Car."

"And... And you should know what I can feel." Car sighed as the room went quiet for a moment, the hare breaking the silence he'd created when he rolled around to face the others. "Sorry. That went too far. Uh... Gin, you've been quiet. You okay over there?"

Ginivieve groaned and slid off her bunk, scurrying out the door before anyone could stop her. "Just gotta pee."

"Right. Well I did say I was sorry..."

"It's not you, Car. She was squirming around for a while. I guess she wanted to let those two finish before she opened the door?" Rose huffed out a breath as she closed her eyes. "Just go to sleep and forget about it. We'll feel better in the morning."

"Yous do not need ze sleep, Rose." Fleur smirked as she playfully revealed both her chest and most of Buck. "Perhaps you would prefehr ze ménage à trois?"

Contrary to Fleur's expectation, instead of covering himself Buck tossed their blanket to the side. "If she's up for it, so am I."

"Uh..." Rose's eyes shot open at the display, taking a moment to deeply remember Buck's impressive cock before rolling around to face the wall. "I just need to see the boys when they wake up. Weddings are already bad enough at getting my motor going..."

"Yeah, well I think I could use a piss too." Carmine slid off his bunk and shielded his eyes from the bare furred couple behind him. "I've had more sex on my mind tonight than I've had my whole life. Fleur, you've got one dirty mind; Buck's a lucky guy."

Fleur slid under the blanket and kissed her moose. "Oui..."

"Sorry, Car. I can't control this when I get... turned on..."

"It's fine, Rose. It's just how you are, and this whole empathy thing is just how I am." Car sighed as he toggled the door. "I swear I'm fine. I really do have to piss. I'll be back."

Rose opened her tent and poked her head out long enough to see the hare off. "Just... take care of yourself however you need, hon. I know it's tough. Nobody will judge if you need some alone time."

"I'm just hitting the toilet, I swear." Carmine shut the sliding door and groaned as he walked to the head. "And maybe a bit of endless sobbing. Or touching myself. Or both."

The door quietly sounded in Rose's voice. "I heard that."

"Damnit. You've got better hearing than I'd guessed." Car trudged over to the communal toilets, but paused upon hearing something coming from the nearby baths. "Gin decide to take a cold shower or something?"

"O-Oh gods!..."

"Or the exact opposite." Already in the mood and now more curious than anything, Car nestled against a nearby divider wall and peeked inside Gin's stall. "Hope you don't mind me getting some fresh imagery."

Gin appeared to be hunched forward over her tail, likely riding it for the velvety texture if Car had to guess. "Ah, wait... Don't slow down, Tail..."

"Talking to herself. Huh. Well she does act a prude most of the time. Guess the roleplay makes up for it." Gin rested backwards with her arms as supports while she rocked over her tail, the tip curling towards her nethers and giving itself a wild, messy look. Car used the pickup in noise to mask slipping his sweatpants down and a paw between his legs. "Damn. Guess having a long tail isn't so bad after all. But wow... her tits are perfect..."

"Ah!" Ginivieve broke into almost violent spasms as an orgasm overtook her higher brain functions and replaced them with a gooey, pleasurable mess. "Gods... Tail, you really wanted it that time... Thanks, buddy."

"Okay... Getting a ~little~ weird there, Gin. But I think that fine body of yours might just do the tr--" Carmine tried to get a better view of Gin's pussy as she shut her eyes to cool down, but upon focusing on her crotch the hare froze in fear of the unknown. "The... The fuck is wrong with her tail? Is that...?"

"Huh? Why'd you stop, Tail? Had your fill?" Ginivieve opened her eyes to check on the ruffled mess of her tail tip, then followed it to where it was looking. "Is... Carmine!? Oh, fuck!"

"Ah! Sorry!" The hare pulled his pants back up over his own lady bits and hid more securely behind his partition wall. "I... I thought it would be harmless. I'm horny too and... and I'm mostly into women, so..."

"What did you see?"

"I came... I came over when you were riding your tail and I... watched until now."

"Fuck. You know then. Fuck. And here I though I could get along in this new crew without being called a freak." Gin stood and found her pants, forcibly slowing herself down and slouching as she stepped into them. "Gods damnit, Tail. I told you that was a bad idea."

"Huh? You really talk to yourself like that?" Carmine waited for the sound of ruffling clothing to die down and then slowly peeked over his barricade. "Are you...? Do you need someone to talk to? Lonely, maybe? You don't hang out with anyone, and you always shower alone and stuff..."

"Wait, what? You don't...?" Gin suddenly realized Car's naivety regarding her situation and attempted to hide her tail, but sadly the damage was already done. "Tail, don't--!"

"What? Your--" Car's brain suffered a critical error and rebooted upon seeing Gin's tail smile for him. "Okay, well that's new. What; the; fuck?"

"You... aren't freaked out much?"

"Huh? I guess I'm ~curious~ now." Car closed the gap, but kept a safe distance in case this oddity liked to bite. "Your tail has a mouth. That's certifiably strange, but... well, everyone related to that Neighborhood Watch program is a little strange. Most Watchmen are worse, usually."

"So you're not... Um..."

"Disgusted? No way. I mean, you weren't there when Carbon went on his huge hunt for you guys. Loads of weirder furs out there for sure. There was--" Carmine saw the tail lick its lips and lunge forward, but the hare was too close to avoid the coming assault. "H-Hey! What's it--?"

"Tail! Stop!" The appendage deftly slipped down the front of Car's sweatpants and shoved three inches of spiny viverrid tongue into the hare's snatch. "Ah... Shit, I can feel that too..."

Carmine collapsed to his knees and gasped as a wave of bliss crept up his body. "H-Holy shi-it... T-Tingles...!"

Gin finally managed to get a grip on herself--literally--and yanked her Tail free of its new hiding spot. "Damn, Tail... I thought we agreed you wouldn't do that."

"But..." Car stared at his drenched crotch, then pulled down his pants and went to work with his paws like a crazed maniac. "Gods, it just... I feel so hot and sparkly..."

"You ~slimed~ him? Seriously?" Gin eased up her grip on her Tail and the autonomous limb slowly worked its way back into position. "Sorry, Car. Once he's done that, you might as well get yourself off. It'll bug you worse than a seasonal heat if you ignore it."

"H-He...? You can talk t-to him?"

"Not really, but more like I can feel his thoughts or something. He's... thinking how good you taste. I mean... he's not wrong, but..."

"Then, uh... let him taste?" Carmine spread his legs and allowed the odd mouth to create a suction seal around his womanhood. "Ah! That's... Gods, that's good!"

"...Tail, do your thing. Take it easy on the guy, though." That large tongue shoved deep inside the bunny once more, this time slithering up to the thick root. "I said easy! Fuck. You know I feel some of that too, right?"

"I-I... I can't..."

"Just let it go, man. If you're more or less like me, It goes faster if you loosen up. That rough tongue hurts after a bit if you clench." Gin gasped as the nerves in her Tail sent a shiver up her spine. "Just quick, uh... Cum quickly, okay?"

"Too fuckin'--" Car's eyes rolled back in his head just briefly before they shut tight. The hare cringed and hunched forward for a moment, then he shoved Gin's Tail free from his cunt as it pulsed and quivered in utter delight. "Oh... Oh, damn..."

"I know how that first one feels." Ginivieve reeled her Tail back, the limb easily following her will now that he finally had his fill. "That... Was that too much? I crossed a line..."

"Hell no, you didn't." Carmine collapsed to his side, Gin moving to pull him into her lap rather than hit the tile floor. "Okay, maybe a ~bit~ much. That was... the best climax I've ~ever had~."

"That? Oh, that was ~nothing~. When Tail gets his motor really going I lose the ability to speak." Gin rubbed Car's back and shoulder, Tail soon joining in with nuzzles against the hare's face. "He likes you. Must be because you didn't make a fuss when you saw him."

"Or he just really likes my taste." Car took a good look at the oddity, noticing a throat and all the trimmings when he yawned. "So... he's a 'he'? And he looks like he can eat and stuff... Can he talk?"

"Tail can make noises, but I don't think he has vocal cords or whatever. He does breathe and all that, though." Gin devoted a moment to petting her Tail until he grinned and showcased his teeth. "And considering his particular appetites, I can only guess he'd be a guy. Tail always wants pussy, and when he gets denied he goes after mine these days."

"If you're hiding him I can only imagine how that goes." Car smiled for Tail and gave him a ruffle of his fur. "You've got a hell of a guy here. You're young though. One of your parents had something similar?"

"My mom did. She had something closer to those plant vines the aliens have, just on her tail." Gin drooped her head a bit, then chuckled to Tail. "Yeah, I miss her jokes too."

"Oh..."

"Ah, sorry. I'm still... getting over all that."

"Still? When did you lose her, if you don't mind me asking?"

"A few months ago..." The civet held back some tears, the few escapees getting licked up by Tail's large tongue. "Thanks, Tail. I... I lost her when the Starbreeze crashed into our barge. I don't think she suffered, but... but still..."

"Crap. We did that to you?" A heavy pit formed in Car's stomach, partly of his own guilt and partly due to Gin's emotions bleeding through to him. "I'm so sorry, Gin. If only I'd have felt it sooner, maybe we could have--"

"I don't need sympathy, Car. I just need time. You won't see me making a fuss about it." Gin sighed and helped Carmine pull his pants back over his crotch. "Now that I've got all this out of my system, I think I could just use some sleep. You won't... tell anyone?"

"Gin, you're not listening to me here. I want to help you. I really think we can work something out to get you somewhere better." Car shoved himself up to his hindpaws and then offered his paws to Gin. "Let's enjoy tomorrow's wedding. After that, let's see if we can't weigh the pros and cons on revealing your secret. We can start with Rose and Fleur; I'm sure they'd love Tail."

"I'll... think about it." Gin took the hare's paws and rose up to her hindpaws. "I forgot you were the ship's shrink. I might... Well, maybe we can work on that stuff if I'm in the mood. I sort of owe you after Tail went nuts on you."

"Forget about that. I was going to do just about the same until I found you. If anything, Tail helped me out. Actually... I might ask next time I go into heat or something, if you're up for it."

"Ha. Trading head time for ~head~ time?" Ginivieve nodded to Tail a few times and took a deep breath. "Sounds good to us. We go at my pace though."

"Absolutely."

"Cool. Let's see if we can finally sleep. Buck's stamina is... annoyingly strong."

"It is. But uh..." Carmine veered over to the toilets with an apologetic smile. "I sort of had to take a piss even before I got stirred up down there, so..."

"Oh, same here. Let's hit that up first, man." Ginivieve started following, but quirked her head and paused her progress to the toilets. "Oh, do you...? I know you're mostly a guy, but--?"

"All woman down there, Gin. We both gotta sit. Just pick one and don't worry." Car pulled down his pants and sat down on a porcelain throne then covered his crotch with his paws. "Just keep Tail away and I think we're fine."

"Oh, he loves pussy--he just doesn't love it enough to get pissed on." Gin sat across from the hare and smiled as Tail covered her nethers from sight on her behalf. "See? He's learned enough times the hard way how this works."

"He's scared of piss? Good to know." Car chuckled as a tinkling sounded from his own toilet. "Gods, this is awkward. I usually avoid using the facilities with others."

"I know the feeling." Gin gave Tail a few pats as she took care of business as well, but the appendage suddenly took to sliding up her shirt and suckling a breast. "See? I have to hide this guy or else everyone sees this."

The two simply laughed in the dark over the light trickling and lewd suckling that fueled their newfound cheerfulness.

"I can't do it."

Iolvin sighed and gave his twin sister a hearty hug. "I'd never guess you'd be the one to back out of this, Lulu. Surely you can't believe your own words either?"

"But... It's so soon after Pillow, and maybe Rhyme and I are just doing this because of the new pups, and--"

Again Yoyo hugged his sister, this time squeezing her tightly and shushing her slowly. "It's alright, Lulu. Robby would have wanted this for you. Time and preexisting commitments aren't a factor here." He pulled his sister's face to his by her chin and stared into her eyes. "Tell me honestly: Do you love her?"

"I..." Ilaria shut her eyes and tried to calm herself down, finding Rhyme's smiling visage all over her mind's eye. "Yeah, I do."

"Then that's all you need. It's only that much more wonderful that you have kids together to share this day with you. Don't ever think that way."

"They're barely able to talk, Yoyo."

"But they're growing up fast. They'll remember today."

Catherine slipped into the side room and froze for a moment upon seeing the twins sharing an embrace. "Any other day I'd be all for this, but no sex before you get married. You hear me, you two?"

"We weren't--"

"Lulu got the jitters."

"The jitters? Oh, that simply won't do." Cat lightly grabbed her daughter's arm and reeled her toward an adjoined room. "We're having a talk, young lady. I'm not marrying you if there's any doubt still in your head."

"Mom, I'm fine."

"We'll see about that." Cathy opened the sliding door to Ari's girls' room and slumped at the sight of two large tails and a flurry of vines slashing wildly across the bed. "Is everyone trying to fuck today? Yoyo, your boys are in here... Hey, is that a girl...? Miss Rose? My grandchildren have a ~special someone~?"

"Yeah... I found out the other day myself. They both like Rose and she apparently likes it that way. I'm guessing it's been going on for a while, the way they hold themselves." Yoyo walked closer to the door and raised his voice. "They should be getting ready though."

"Boys...! Wait! We have visitors." Rose tried to pull herself away and to the safety of the bedsheets, but the twins instead used themselves as cover while one still slammed into the plant. "Could we, um...?"

"She's not used to the family way." Yoyo pulled the others back and spoke from around the open door. "Rose, the ceremony is about to start. Could you get those two straight?"

"Actually... I sort of got them doing this. I had some urges last night and I'm not sure I could take a wedding without some relief."

"Give her what she needs, Phebes. I'll take care of this." Themis shook his head slowly, slapped his brother on the back encouragingly, and rose to confront the voyeurs near the door. "Dad, we'll be ready. Leave us alone. Alright?"

"If I didn't love you so much I'd punch you blind for that. I'm still your father." Yoyo sighed as he faced his son, trying his best to keep his mood high. "I don't mind, but your mother might be upset if you aren't there on time. Take care of Rose and I'll try to stall a bit for you guys."

"That's... Yeah, okay." Em hunched forward and braced the wall for a moment, a wave of euphoria washing over him as his brother squeaked in orgasm. "D-Damn, Phebes... Some warning... would be nice..."

Yoyo grinned as he used the opening to peek into the room. "I guess we're back on track with that?"

"D-Dad! I--" Themis slipped as his brother's orgasm set off his own, the otter barely catching the door frame as he plastered the wall with jizz. "G-Go, please... She doesn't..."

"Not everyone agrees with out family practices. I get it. It makes me sad thinking about the future of our tribe, but I get it. Your happiness comes first." Yoyo raised his paws defensively and backed away, allowing the door to slide shut. "Get cleaned up and dressed. Your grandma didn't make you those sirats for nothing."

"They're actually going to wear them? Oh, they'll be so ~handsome~..."

Yoyo huffed out a slight chuckle as his mom eyed his own sirat, particularly the bulge in his loincloth. "I thought you didn't want any sex?"

"I... Knowing what I have to do, I need to get in the mood. That's all it is." Cat pulled her whelps into a group hug and sighed deeply. "That is, if you'd still like this to happen. I'll always respect your choices, baby girl. I just have to respect the tribe'S honor as well."

"I'm not a stranger to that dedication..." Ari quietly kissed her mother, then rapped her knuckles on the metal door. "Guys, will Rose be joining us? It's a great honor to receive an elder's blessings."

Em slid the door open just long enough to poke his head out in reply. "I think she might. She... saw how pretty you looked and wanted to join in, auntie."

Cathy smiled at the exchange, then returned the kiss as the door shut again. "That's my baby girl. Come on. Let's get everyone ready and buy my future granddaughter some time to get ready."

"You just need to get away from the smell, don't you?" Ari grabbed her mother's ass and crept two fingers further below to test the waters. "You're ~definitely~ ready for this."

"Well I smoked my stash of my flame brush to get ready for this."

"Is that why we're both hard as stone now?" Yoyo rolled his eyes as he sniffed the air, the scent of his mother's induced heat now quite apparent. "Well at least we know we're getting the authentic experience."

"Keep it up and I'll pin you to the floor with only my clam, son."

"Save it for the ceremony, mom." Ari took two slow, deep breaths before opening the door out to the main Observation Bay. "Okay, where's my future mate?"

"Freaking out more than our children, dear." Rhyme huddled with all five of her children around her on the ground, the lot sporting a mix of sirats and simple wrappings. "Pepper is scared of something. I think it's the noise."

"Well I didn't expect all of the other captains to get word of this, much less show up. So much for our quiet wedding." Ari knelt between her children and rubbed her apparent three-yearOld between the ears. "What's wrong, puppy? Miss your other mommy? I'm here now, Pepper."

"Actually, I think..." Yoyo reached out and pulled the triplets away from the twins, the three immediately hugging each other and calming down. "Chelle and Mik were Linking with them and they might not have liked it."

"Oh, good catch." Ari shot her older girls a stern look and they got the hint. Then she pulled her fiancée close and held her trembling shoulders. "You really are freaking out. Let's get you guys ready and take our minds off the crowd."

"Yeah... I could use a distraction."

Yoyo smiled as he and his mother took possession of the kids. "Fleur's around here somewhere. She said she'd help wrangle the pups. Go check the altar and we'll take care of these guys."

"Thanks, Yoyo." Ilaria took Rhyme by the paw and led her to the makeshift altar made from a few large scientific instruments and a thick quilt. "Just ignore the crowd. I've only got eyes for you, so try to be the same with me. It'll be fine."

"But I'm in a dress... thing..."

"Is that it? You're embarrassed to look like a girl? You look great, sexy. Plus these guys almost never come over here to annoy us; they won't care." Ari grinned as she put her larger body between the crowd and Rhy, then slid her paws below the tanuki's lower drapes. "So you ~did~ go commando."

Rhyme flushed red in the cheeks and fought those paws. "You told me to!"

"It is important... I just didn't think you'd do it. My mom would have worked around it if you did."

"What!? So I didn't--!?"

Ari dipped a single finger into Rhy's honey pot, then gave her some distance as she licked her digit clean. "I really means a lot to me. With the crowd though... We can try to hide things where possible. You still nervous?"

"Yeah, but... I want to do this right. Don't worry about me."

"Rhyme," Ilaria grunted as she once again closed the gap and hugged her love, "all I ever want to do for the rest of my life is worry about you. If you're really bothered, tell me. I'll change things for you."

"No, I... I really do want to do this for you and our kids. I just don't understand what's involved because you're being a damned tease in ~all~ the wrong ways." Rhy took Ari's paw and openly placed it below her lower drapes to touch her warm nethers. "If embarrassing myself for one day means a lifetime without regrets, I'll easily pay that price."

"That's... perfect." Ari gave a quick dip of her fingers before yanking her own free rather than give the crowd more of a show. "Let's do this. Let's start our life together."

"We'd better, before you two start dirtying the altar with potential grandchildren." Cathy walked over to the altar and took her position to announce the ceremony was starting. "Everyone, I'm glad you could join us. Soon we'll experience the greatest commitment any lovers can make between one another. I do have to warn the uninformed that this is ~not~ a clean event. If you don't like to see nudity or two furs going at it, we won't be disappointed if you leave until the reception."

Rhyme scrunched her eyebrows at that warning. "Ari...?"

"It'll be fine. It's mostly not us."

"Ari!?"

Iolvin and Adrian chuckled sheepishly as the tanuki began putting the pieces together. The smaller of the two gave Rhyme a hug and quick kiss. "It really isn't that bad if we skip the last part, which we are doing at Cid's request. Pretty sure you wouldn't want to have everyone watch you conceive a child live on stage."

"Which is a total shame." Carbon strode over flaunting some decent curves in her new sirat. "I'd give anything to see that face when the jizz goes flying."

"How does everyone know about this shit but me!?"

"Been in the family longer." Carbon outright laughed to herself as a vivid memory came back to her thanks to Evelyn. "Actually, I think I watched their parents conceive these two at their own wedding."

"Please don't remind me." Yoyo gave Rhy a nudge and pulled Zoë closer in all her nude glory. "If kiddo here wasn't used to showing off the goods, I'd say she might be taking it worse than you though, RhyRhy. So you ready to do this, Zoë?"

"We need dad first."

"He's hiding in the corner. The lovable oaf might be comfortable at home, but he's not so great with public performances." Catherine leaned back and waved her husband over, the husky barely rebuilding the will to move when his wife flashed her clam in encouragement. "I don't know why you're sulking. Any time you can get warm and wet inside your favorite otter is a good time, right?"

"I didn't like the audience when we were married and I don't like it now either." Vasily adjusted his loincloth and found his place by his mate's side. "You know I'll do whatever makes you happy, though. And I guess I ~do~ like your pussy."

Cathy grabbed her husband's manhood through his loincloth possessively. "Exactly why I fell in love with you, dear."

Carbon turned upon hearing a squeak behind her, but the beautiful goddess she found left her breathless. "Cid... You..."

"I th-though we would be... alone..." Sydney stood near the altar clad in a beautiful violet sirat, for once in her life daring not to mask her gender and streaming tears from her eyes as a result. "I... I can't... do this..."

"Sydney!" Carbon reached out with both her arms and joined her love in crying, though with tears of wonder. "You said you would wear a suit! Goddess, this..."

"It isn't too ugly on me... is it?"

"No! You're fucking beautiful!" Carbon backed away and linked paws with the meerkat's own. "This... This is the greatest gift you could ever give me. I know how much this means to you, kitten."

"Cid's... a girl?" Adrian stared for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders. "Now a few more things make sense at least. You look amazing in that sirat, Cid."

Sydney squeaked and hid her blushing head behind Carbon. "You... You really think so? I'm not--?"

"You're perfect." Vasily grinned as he got an eyeful in all its rarity before turning to face his children. "Enjoy it while you can, Sydney. It won't leave the room. Right, everyone?"

The room fell dead silent at those stern, commanding words.

"Yes sir." Yoyo took a quick peek, making damned sure to burn the meerkat's tight, athletic ass in his brain for future reference. "Let's get this party started already."

"Very well." Cathy nodded to each set of mates as she reached for some incense in a carved burner. "I know conditions will change this ceremony, but I'll do my best to respect everyone's choices while still upholding our tribe's honor. Do all here pledge the same, to honor our tribe and all whom inhabit it?"

"Yes"

"Of course."

"Not my first rodeo." Ari grinned and stared down the various giggles pointed her way. "What? It's true."

"Moving on... With this first bond of words, we build trust. Trust is the foundation of all lasting relationships. It builds family. It strengthens brethren. It deepens love. Much like we stoke the tribe's central fire together so it may never die, so must we work together to stoke the trust and love that bonds us together." Cathy waved the incense over each of the pairings, then paused with a smile before doing the same for the children attending nearby. "Today we are honored to bring more into our fold. Not only do we welcome these wonderful additions to our tribe, but we also share in their own families and children they bring with them. Back home such would be rare, but by the gods we are blessed with far too may beautiful whelps before the rite of mating. I'm proud of you, my new tribesmen."

Vasily took the incense and placed it near the altar with a twitch of his nose, then he eased his wife onto the table. "Are we going to do the whole package still? Is Ielunschra okay?"

"Yes, she is. She's the strongest I could ever hope for my own child." Cat reached forward and pulled her husband's sirat drapes down to the ground, then took her own and parted them to the side. "Fellow tribesmen, we offer you the greatest gift possible in the hopes our tribe will grow stronger. We offer you the gift of life and fertility. We pray to the great gods that they may bless your children with such prosperity as well. Come, my chieftain. Let us set an example for those hoping to follow the ways of our great tribe. Mate me, that by our example of proven success they may produce new life into this world starting today."

"Oh, right... As your grace decrees, I offer you the greatest gift of my seed." It took absolutely zero convincing for Vasily to glide his cock into his wife's familiar confines. "May our always hunters hit their mark as true as I do now."

"Yes, my mate. Show our family how to bear a child." Cathy lurched forward and dropped the top of her sirat, giving her husband's muzzle full access to her smaller but tempting chest. Her new position afforded her a clear view of the entranced audience however, causing her nethers to clench in newfound arousal. "Oh, fuck yes. Mate me, Vasily."

"Fuck, you're getting so tight..."

"And I really want your cum, dear." Cat nibbled her mate's ear and he really started getting into a groove, huffing as he shoved his length deep into her and slowly eased out over and over. "Don't hold back, dear. I want it ~deep~ inside me."

"Fu~uck..." The husky picked up his pace, easing back for only a split second before his wife's legs crossed over his tail and pulled him flush. "You know what that does to me, Cat. I thought you didn't want me to knot you?"

"I know... I want it so badly, too." Cathy wrapped her arms around her mate's back and suspended herself from his pistoning manhood. "I have a secret. I'm in heat... and I want you to give me another whelp."

"Wh-What?" Vasily followed his wife's gaze over to the incense burner, then grinned as he turned his wife around. "You had some with you? Fuck, we need to do this right."

Cathy propped herself up by her paws and knees and waggled her thick tail. "Now we're talking."

"Ooh..." The husky lined himself up and rode his wife from behind while cradling that tail against his chest, the whole table rocking with their renewed ferocity. "Where'd you even get that stuff? It's banned, right?"

"It's from our own wedding." Cat gasped and squeaked as her mate slammed his knot against her tiny snatch. "I saved it for our children... and so... so we could make another if we wanted..."

"Fuck. You know I can't deny you that." Vasily barked as he slammed his knot tightly into his overstretched wife, then howled as he opened the floodgates. "Cat! Take it all! Have our pups!"

"W-Wait! Did you just--!?" Cathy threw back her head as her heat found satisfaction in the paradoxically cooling warmth of her husband's thick cum. "Sh-Shit! I love your knot! Fill me, my stud!"

"Damn." Yoyo nodded in approval as his father seeded his mother hard enough that her belly visibly throbbed. "Way to go, ~dad~."

"Uh... That..." Rhyme's face looked like it might catch fire, though her gaze had long since dropped from the knotted cock ahead to the two twins' massive lengths poking from the edges of their sirat drapes. "Are we still...?"

"Not now, no. It's an older option though, to mate for the tribe as proof of love." Ari reached down and stroked her own length slowly so her sheath's foreskin folded on itself. "Nothing stopping us from going that route if you'd like. I'm game. Horny as shit somehow, too."

"Um..." Rhy fought the urges the flame brush brought upon her, but cringed as a small drip of her own juices streamed down her thigh. "Wh-Whatever you th-think we should..."

"You're uncomfortable. Don't press yourself, hon." Ari stopped touching herself, but slid her thick tail between her mate's thighs to help her situation. "It's almost over. We can have our fun in our bedroom."

"But--"

"Vasily, that was great!" Cathy pressed against her husband, wincing as she used two fingers to wedge his knot free with some pain involved for both sides. "Gah! Fuck , that hurt. Damn."

"Ah... Oh! The bowl!" Vasily reached over and pulled a carved wooden bowl beneath his wife's drooling, seeping pussy to collect what parts of his massive deposit didn't want to stay inside her. "I don't think we'll be short on the main ingredient like you thought, Cat."

Rhy quirked her head, then went wide-eyed as the rather large bowl started to overflow. "Ingredient?"

Cathy collapsed onto the altar, then lazily rolled herself over to cup her mate's cum from her crotch to her mouth. "Only the freshest. Back to business." She took the bowl, surprising herself that she had to pour some out to make room for stirring the concoction. "We have performed the right of mating for all to see, as proof of our trust in our new tribesmen. With the gods' blessing, we will bear a child to honor this great day. Now may all of you please come, that you may receive this blessing yourselves?"

"This is where it gets uncomfortable, Rhy. Just speak up if it's too much." Ilaria took the first step forward, leading Rhyme behind her. "It is my honor to bless our tribe with life."

"May your family grow strong." Cat reached a few fingers into the sticky mess, scooping out a very blue mixture. She brushed a dab in a line atop her daughter's wide snout, pulled her breasts out to mark her nipples, and finally reached between her legs to cover both her cock and the inside of her pussy. "May the gods follow this mark in bearing their fruit."

Ari simply nodded and urged her mate closer, only for her to nervously stutter the same phrase. "I-It's my h-honor to, uh... bless our t-tribe with life..."

"You're already proving a wonderful mate for her," Cat whispered as she reached out and marked the tanuki, being a bit generous with the deposit down below. "May the gods follow this mark in bearing their fruit. Now, please bring your young ones."

"Here you go, Pepper. You get to go first! Nice, huh?" Ari lifted up her pup and allowed his snout to be marked, then with a nod of agreement her mother pressed her finger barely inside the child's folds. "See? Now you're even cuter."

"They're all cute." Rhy got the hint and brought over Salt so she could be marked as well. "Is it really alright to put that in them? Semen?"

"They're too young to get pregnant, and it's a blessing..." Ari placed Pepper down and grabbed Paprika for her marking. "You love blue, right? Pretty?"

"They're adorable, my whelp." Cat waved the older girls over and quickly gave them their marks, including over their triplicate sexes to her amusement. "There. Your family is now a blessed part of our tribe. Welcome to our raft, brethren. Iolvin?"

"We're up. It's my honor to bless our tribe with life." Yoyo walked forward and received his markings, gaining two stripes on his biceps rather than his nipples but with his mother not skimping on his hidden pussy. "Thanks, mom."

"May the gods follow this mark in bearing their fruit."

"I... It's my honor to bless our tribe with life." Zoë nervously walked up and offered herself for marking, Cat taking her time just to play with the bare human's smooth skin by way of a few extra designer markings. "Th-Thank you."

"May the gods follow this mark in bearing their fruit, new daughter."

"Oh, ah... It is my honor to bless this tribe with life." Dee smirked as Cat playfully gave him not only male markings, but nipple marks as well. "Oh... Well Yoyo does wear the pants..."

Cat giggled as she stirred the mix in the bowl. "May the gods follow this mark..."

"Damn right I do." Yoyo gestured for his boys to walk forward. "Please, guys. Oh and mom, remember Rose doesn't..."

Rose nervously stepped forward in a gorgeous green sirat and donned her head. "I would be honored to... join this family into the rapids of life. May we start a raft of our own, in our own vision."

"You learned that...?" Cathy started tearing up as she smiled for her grandsons and their love. "Our honor is your honor, by my blessing. Bear a strong heir, that your raft may always float down the rivers of life." She reached between Rose's thighs and scooped up as much of her grandson's leaking essence as she could manage, then added the new substance to the main batch. "You have already completed the rite of selfless offering. With this gift of life, we accept you into our tribe and our hearts. May your new family prosper and grow, and may your new ways guide you well."

"We will honor our elders and build our trust, great mother."

Cat once again found herself drawn to tears as she extensively marked the Yangurra across her whole body, discarding her clothing entirely as part of the process. "It... It is my honor to add to this great day with... gods... with another bond. Our new sister bears all in tribute to her.. her new mates."

Phoebe walked over and received his markings, again over his whole nude body. "Our raft is yours, great mother."

Themis followed his brother's lead, though this time with his camera set upon the altar to record his mates' markings at their freshest. "Our raft is our tribe's, great mother."

"I don't...?" Adrian blinked vapidly at the foreign tradition. "You never told me about this part. What's--"

Iolvin nearly buckled his knees as tears welled in his eyes for once in his life. "Our boys... Our boys, and our girl..."

Even Carbon wasn't familiar with the current ceremony. "What? I've never seen this before either..."

Ilaria lunged forward and gave Rose a massive hug. "Congratulations, my new niece. Welcome to the family."

Dee dropped his fist into his paw. "Oh, Rose is part of the tribe now. I get it."

"Actually, no. You might want to sit for this." Yoyo held his husband and delivered the concrete truth. "Our boys just got married. Well... they started a new splinter tribe for Rose's sake since she loves two men yet bears neither's child, but that involves both of them--"

"Heeeeee!" Indeed Adrian needed support as he collapsed to the his knee. "My boys! My girl!"

" Ahem." Vasily stomped his hindpaw as he grumbled, calming the commotion. "We aren't done yet, my sons. Respect Carbon and Sydney."

"S-Sorry, sir."

"Call me dad, son. You've long since earned that right."

"~Ahem~. You were saying?" Having recovered enough to continue, Cathy beckoned Carbon over. "Shall we?"

"I've secretly been waiting for this for decades. It is an absolute honor to bless our tribe with life. However... there's three of us too, but I'd love to be your sister..."

"Eve's a part of you, Carbon. Loophole. I'll let it slide." Cat took a particularly long and delicate time marking Carbon, especially with two fingers lodged deeply in her womanhood contrary to the norm. "May the gods follow this mark in bearing their fruit. Hopefully not actual fruit."

The audience chuckled at that little joke.

"Funny. Thank you, Cat." Carbon tugged on Sydney's drapes and she reluctantly slid over. "I know you usually don't like anyone messing around down there. It'll be fine. Here, take my paw and squeeze all you need."

"It's alright..." Cid took that paw anyway, and didn't realize just how much she actually gripped her mate. "I promise to bless our tribe with new life."

Cat whispered, "I'm glad you chose not to sit this part out after all, my sister," as she carefully marked Sydney both as a male and a female, even though the meerkat didn't know which was which. "May the gods follow this mark in bearing their fruit."

"And now your turn, baby girl." Carbon called over her daughter and offered her face, the little kitten choosing to wear a frilly dress instead of partaking in the full tradition. "I know you don't like dirty fur, but it's only for a minute. Okay?"

"Yeah, papa..."

Cat quickly and lightly marked Leannan and then let the girl back away. "Such a cute little thing. Sydney builds 'em fluffy."

The girl smiled at the compliment and ran behind Fleur, who also chose to wear a dress--a chiffon mesh that hid nothing from a few yards away. "It... iz ze honour... I bless zis tribe wizth life..."

"Only the ones being married need to do that part, Fleur. I appreciate--"

"Boot papa, I... I wish to 'ave ze leetle ones wizth my Bouk..."

Carbon stared at his daughter, admiring how much she'd come into her own on their journey. Spotting Buck blankly trying his best to follow the ritual, the hybrid smiled and nodded to Fleur. "Cat? Your call."

"Fleur," Cathy started as she quickly marked the elk's snout, "welcome to the tribe." She signaled that she wanted to reach beneath her dress and the girl readily lifted the sheer fabric for a vaginal marking to seal the deal. "May the gods follow their mark in bearing their fruit. And your potential mate?"

Fleur looked directly to Buck, but the moose was having a hard time just keeping his bearings at the moment. "Coulrd we do him in priveet?"

"Ah, that's... right. Yes, poor thing. We can give his blessing when he's feeling better." Cathy sat herself upright and then hopped off the alter, her drapes falling back into place to hide her leakage. "Your family is now a blessed part of our tribe. Welcome to our raft."

The audience took the last of the lineup as a sign the proceedings were over, prompting enormous cheers that Vasily had to quell. "Quiet, please! The final part isn't done yet."

"Thank you, darling." Cat held the bowl up high, then scooped up the remainder and painted her face and chest with it. "We now bear the marks of our tribe and the life it promotes, both on our bodies and in our souls. As full members of our great raft, you may now pick a mate from within. If any of you wish to exercise the rite of life mating before your peers, you may do so now with exchange of bonds."

Ari grinned and pulled Rhy's paw to hers. "Come here, wifey." She slid a conservatively decorated ring on her mate's paw and fought back tears. "I choose you as my life mate, Rhythm Rhyme Bleu."

"Oh!" Rhyme reached for one of the girls and Mik produced a bracelet she'd made, one in the spitting style of Robyn's engagement ring but with emerald diamonds instead of turquoise held in its leaflets. "I choose you as my mate as well, Ilaria Rivet."

"This band..."

"Is there something wrong?" Rhy looked to Mik questioningly. "Did they make it too tight?"

"No, it's perfect!" Ari pulled her new wife in for a deep kiss. "I'll cherish it forever, just like you."

"Way to go, sis."

Carbon smiled as she produced one of the rings Evelyn formed from herself. "Sydney Karidan, I'd like to be your mate if you'd have me."

"Only if you'll have me too, otter." Sydney took her own identical piece of Evelyn, then after they each shrugged their shoulders for each other the two just wore the very rings they held. "That's all there is to it? That's better than a real wedding in a few ways."

"Yeah, plus there's a free show and all the spunk you can wear." Carbon admired her adorned paw, particularly the way Eve slotted herself to better fit the hybrid's webbed fingers. "And I hereby announce Evelyn as our mate, though she can't come out and join the fun right now."

"Yeah, same here. Poor girl has to miss our wedding..." Cid pointed to Phoebe with a strict finger. "Themis? You better record all this for her to watch later."

"Eh, close enough." Adrian took Zoë's hand and fed a gold and diamond ring over her ring finger. "Zoë, I ask you to be our mate and the mother to our children."

Iolvin took Zoë's arm and tied a meticulously handcrafted bracelet around it. "And I ask you to stop paying your life debt to be our life mate instead."

Zoë silently cried to herself as several of her life goals just fulfilled themselves, her husbands simply taking two leather bracers from her hands and affixing them to their arms. "I-I... I'm so..."

"We're all happy together, Zoë." Yoyo pulled his sons and his new daughter into a large family hug as he finally broke down and streamed tears down his face. "We're one big happy family now."

"Ah... We, uh..."

"Dad, we still need to..." Phoebe produced a bracelet and a bracer and his father cleared some room. "Um, Rose? Emmi? Would you be my mate?"

Rose offered both her arms and the boys placed their bracelets on each. "You're damn right I'll be your mate, boys." She pulled out two bracers of her own that were tied to her vines and offered them to the boys. "And you, my handsome husbands?"

"Hell yeah." Themis took a moment to tie his bracer to his brother, then Rose's to himself. "Just you left, Phebes."

"Then with this, we're in agreement." Phoebe managed his bracers and produced his arms proudly. "We... We have a family of our own, now. Holy shit."

"Means that much to you, eh? Good luck with your tribe, guys." Carbon gave Rose a huge hug and a mask-mashing faux kiss. "Now I'm finally a Rihzyet in a way, too. Congratulations, sis."

Both of the boys dropped their jaws at the news. "S-Sis?"

"About that..."

"Yep! You're married to my sister now!" Carbon grinned devilishly and oozed saccharin as she revealed her stingers from her tendrils, followed soon by Sydney producing a hidden but apparently necessary pistol from her sirat. "So don't fuck it up!"

The crowd went silent at the threat until those involved broke down in laughter. With the oddly violent joke out of the way, the newly bolstered tribe spread and conquered to dozens of congratulations and a light veil of clapping. For the rest of the night the fleet forgot about the war. It forgot about the slow death of the galaxy at the hands of a black hole. It forgot about the grand wedding cake that fell over as Vasily plowed his wife harder than ever before. For this night, the fleet basked in the power of love.
