After a long and wonderful night in the company of his new friends, Arjun returns to his room. Once again though, fate seems determined to provide him with companionship aboard this very sexy spaceship.

[center][b][u]Don't You Know Who I Am - Part Five[/u][/b][/center]
It was 11am on the second day of the cruise before Arjun returned to his room. The tiger was naked, but showed not the slightest bit of embarrassment about that fact as he walked past several other guests, also naked, and saw their eyes drifting over his semi-stiff cock in approval, the fur around it matted and stained with a mixture of juices. Just one day ago such actions would have not only made him want to run and hide, but he probably would have begged them, begged anyone to find him a way off this cruise ship. Hell, he practically had done. But then... then he'd met Karra and Rigel. Then he had allowed himself to actually explore and investigate the opportunities presented to him by this place, and whatever confusions and concerns he had initially possessed about being placed upon this cruise of all cruises had within the space of a single day evaporated... just as the tiger's past self seemed to have done, too.
Right now, even to the man himself, he was Arjun. That wasn't a lie he was telling. It wasn't a cover story to conceal the truth about his importance and his relevance. The man who had experienced all those wonderful things in the space of the past day was not Prince Jahir of the Cirran Star Empire. He was Arjun Sol. He was a businessman enjoying a rather specialist, unique sort of vacation, and after the night he had just shared with the two mice... after [i]everything[/i] he had shared with so many people on this star-cruise over the past day, he had no desire to be anyone or anything else at least until this cruise was over, and though it seemed ridiculous to think about even now, if there was a way for him to continue living this life, perhaps even beyond the cruise's end.
But, even after all the fun he'd had, Arjun knew it was way too early to be thinking like that. After all, he might have had the most spectacular good time with Karra and Rigel last night, but he couldn't rely on their companionship alone for the rest of the cruise. For one thing that really didn't seem like it was in the spirit of what this whole ship seemed to encourage, fostering new experiences and new connections at every turn. And perhaps more importantly, he didn't want to place any expectation upon the mice. They had been incredible to him, and he hoped he would get to see them and pleasure them again many times before the cruise was over. But, they weren't here for him, and they had no obligation to him. And, given the way that Karra had been flirting with that gecko over breakfast, Arjun was beginning to realise that as special and one of a kind as Karra in particular had made him feel, it wasn't because she was deeply and madly in love with him. Far from being insincere, that was simply how the mouse seemed to treat any stranger she met for the first time. With all the enthusiasm and passion of a thousand burning suns.
By the time all of those thoughts had arranged themselves into some sort of coherent order within Arjun's mind, he was back at his room. He chuckled, seeing a hovering anti-grav cart outside it with fresh linens and towels stacked high. He hadn't set foot in his room for more than a couple of minutes since first leaving it yesterday. His shower was untouched and his bed un-slept in. Yet still as he peered inside, he saw a figure in the midst of attempting to find [i]something[/i] to clean; checking the waste disposal, looking around for any food cartons or cups he might have brought back from the main deck. Before the member of the housekeeping staff could find anything though, the tiger gently cleared his throat to let them know he was there.
"Uh, hi there. Is it okay for me to come in?"
He stuck his head through the doorway, and chuckled as a soft computerised voice automatically greeted him, identifying him to the individual within who now that he was closer Arjun could see was a rather petite cougar.
"[i]Welcome back to your room, Arjun[i]."
The cougar turned on the spot, hands clasping together respectfully across her front as she bowed slightly before him. For a moment Arjun was worried that somehow she had found out who he really was; who he [i]had[/i] been before arriving here for the cruise. Then he thought back to the prior day and how the two staff members at the information kiosk had reacted to his presence, not because of his name or title, but because of the Quad-Platinum tier VIP package with which he had been booked onto the cruise. He smiled warmly, and shook his head reassuringly to the cougar.
"Please, relax. I don't mind you being here. Though, I really haven't spent much time here, so I don't think there's much for you to do."
The cougar nodded bashfully, and raised her head slightly, though only for a moment or two before her eyes found themselves helplessly drawn to Arjun's cock, and immediately dipped bashfully downward once again. Eyes widening, the tiger frowned at his own lack of empathy. Sure the staff he'd interacted with so far had all been as open and eager and friendly as everyone else here, but why had he assumed that the cougar would be the same without even asking, without even thinking to ask? Even here in a place like this, [b]especially[/b] in a place like this in fact, consent was more vital than every, and despite her own nakedness bar the collar and wrist-bands in the colours of the cruise-liner's logo, this woman didn't look hugely comfortable being alone in this room with him, a larger, stronger, naked man with a half-hard cock blocking the only doorway.
"Ah, shit. Sorry, I... I can put something on, if that'd make you more comfortable."
He murmured in humiliation, bowing his own head as he rushed forward out of the doorway and towards his bed, where a white cotton robe was resting folded neatly upon one of its pillows. Before he could get there though, the cougar spoke.
"No, please. T-there's no need. I... I'm sorry, really. I just... this is embarrassing to admit, but... it's only my second day of working here. I'm still... um... acclimatising to the way things work here. I signed up knowing what I was getting into. I... I signed up [i]because[/i] of what I heard. But... well, i-it's harder to just do it than to imagine doing it. Harder to actually, practically tell yourself that what you've learned over twenty years about modesty and chastity and stuff like that doesn't apply everywhere in the galaxy. And now I'm here in your room and you're a quad-plat guest and I [b]know[/b] what that means and you're really handsome and all but I really don't know what I'm meant to do or offer to do or..."
Her voice trailed off only after she had started to speak at just shy of light-speed. Her cheeks burned beneath her straw-gold fur, and she mewled softly in frustration, hands clenching by her sides.
"S-sorry, I ramble when I'm nervous. And like I said, n-new job. Lots of stuff to be nervous about. Lots of rambling."
Arjun smiled, and in an act of what he hoped would come across as sharing rather than over-sharing, he attempted to reassure the cougar as best he could.
"Hey, it's okay. This is my first cruise too. My first experience of any lifestyle like this. Trust me, you should have seen me yesterday after I first got hear. I stepped out of the door still dressed, my clothes disappeared, and I almost had a total freak-out!"
The woman giggled softly, tilting her head to one side a little.
"You don't seem like the freakout type."
Arjun blushed at what truly did feel like a sincere compliment.
"Well, I had help. A couple of more veteran cruise-goers took me under their wing and... like I said, they were a big help in teaching me how things worked, and how to relax."
The tiger smiled warmly, eagerly to the other feline.
"You get time off, right? I'm sure I saw some of the ship's staff... uh, enjoying the amenities on board when they weren't on duty. And I'm doubly sure that someone like you, t-that is, someone very... uh..."
His voice trailed off, and he rubbed the back of his head bashfully.
"Sorry, call me old fashioned, but I still find it a little weird that I was about to compliment how hot you are... coz, you really are, and I don't even know your name yet."
The cougar purred softly, giggling and looking a little less nervous now, not to mention more red in the face as she glanced down and noted that if Arjun was just saying that to her to be polite, his body was doing a very impressive job of playing along.
"I'm Alana."
By chance or quite purposefully, the tiger's re-stiffening cock twitched as Alana spoke her name. She giggled once more.
"And, I... I do get time off, yeah. I did yesterday after my first shift. But, throughout my first shift I got myself all psyched up for it, all worked up and eager to do all sorts of things, a-and... and then, when it stopped being a fantasy and was about to be something I was actually doing, I... I kinda froze. I started asking myself what would happen if I went looking for someone to spend my time with, a-and... no-one was interested. Not because I'm not pretty or anything, I'm not blind, I know I'm cute."
Another twitch from Arjun. Another giggle from Alana.
"But, well... e-everyone here on this cruise, all the guests, you have to be pretty rich to go on a cruise like this. N-no offense meant, I just... I know I'm not well educated, or from a planet with a tonne of class and name recognition. So, what do I have to offer someone that another guest wouldn't be able to give them a dozen times over? That's what I kept thinking last night, and while I know it's probably just anxiety talking, that I have a lot to offer anyone who took the time to get to know me... it still didn't stop me staying in my room all day. Imagining what was happening elsewhere, w-watching a bunch of videos from the onboard library, but not actually goings outside my cabin again until my shift started today, and I knew that I wasn't expected to be doing anything more than cleaning rooms."
Red faced, more so than ever as she considered just how close she'd come to admitting more personal details of how she had spent the previous day to Arjun, Alana's eyes were drawn once more to his now fully erect cock. Only now however did Arjun seem to fully notice Alana looking at him, or indeed to notice his own state of renewed arousal and continued nudity. His own face burned as bright as hers, though more visible beneath his white fur.
"Sorry... I... I just..."
He began to apologise, to explain, but soon fell silent again as he realised that the explanation was quite obvious. Sure enough, the cougar put it perfectly succinctly just a few moments later.
"That's because of me?"
Swallowing thickly, the tiger nodded.
"Yeah, it is. The thought of you spending yesterday alone is sad, d-don't get me wrong, and I'm really sorry that you felt that way when I'm certain you would have been more than popular with any number of guests... m-myself included. But, what you said about spending time alone, watching videos. I... I watched some of those videos with the people I spent my night with, and... now I really can't stop thinking about what you were doing, alone or not, while you were watching those videos."
Their eyes met, and they looked away again for a moment in mutual embarrassment, only to let their gaze meet again just another second or so later as they pushed through that embarrassment and to the simple, shared truth which lay beyond it. Alana took a deep breath, and nodded as she watched Arjun's gaze drifting up and down her naked body.
"I... I watched a lot of them, and... I [i]enjoyed[/i] watching them all."
Arjun smiled a kind of smile which the cougar hadn't seen from him yet. A more playful, cheeky grin than any of those which he had shared with her before now.
"Well, maybe that's how you start getting used to the way things are here, then. Watch some more videos, but... maybe invite someone over to watch them with you. Show them your favourites. Tell them what you like about them, and... if the mood strikes you, maybe see about re-enacting one."
Alana's cheeks burned crimson.
"S-someone?"
She asked, hopefully.
Arjin beamed back at her. His cock twitched once again, and a little dribble of pre-cum oozed from its tip, drawing a soft, giddy mewl from the cougar before him.
"Yeah."
He murmured with a teasing, eager tenderness that he would have felt utterly incapable of producing just a single day ago, but which now came so very naturally.
"[i]Someone[/i]."
The tiger winked, and took a slow but purposeful step forward, giving Alana more than enough time and space to step back if she wasn't in fact on the same page as him. To his delight though, she stepped forward. At least, at first she did. Then she froze, bunched her hands up at her sides, and whimpered.
"D-dammit, I... I wish I wasn't working right now. But, this is only my second day. I c-can't... I can't just take time out to... n-no matter how much I want to."
She sounded truly upset, genuinely distraught at this realisation just as she was starting to loosen up and feel like it might be possible to actually make progress despite her prior anxieties. But still, the tiger before her continued to smile. Still he took another step towards her, and purred reassuringly to the cougar.
"I learned something yesterday that might help us with that. A rule about quad-platinum guests, and their interactions with staff members."
For a moment, Alana seemed nonplussed and wholly confused. Then she paused again. She thought about it, running through the manual and the many contracts she'd signed during her induction to this job, and she gasped in realisation.
"Oh! Ohhh, right!!"
She giggled, then blushed brightly at the implication.
"W-wait, so... does that mean..."
Arjun grinned, and held out a hand towards the cougar.
"There's no pressure of course, but... Alana, if you would enjoy it too, I feel as though spending some time with you would improve the experience of my time on this cruise far more than any other creature on this ship could right now."
He blushed, and his cock strained once again. He wasn't just saying that. His heart was racing, and his libido re-awakened even after a whole night of fun with Rigel and Karra. He truly did want to spend time with Alana, and if she wanted to spend time with him too...
"Housekeeping central, this is Alana."
She tapped one of her bracelets, and a little holo-display popped up above it with the image of a smiling gryphon, her features reversed from Arjun's perspective but visible to them both.
"This is housekeeping central, go ahead Alana. How can we help?"
The cougar blushed, and looked through the hologram to where Arjun was still standing, hand outstretched. With her other arm, the one not supporting her communicator, she reached out and took his hand in hers, beaming as she addressed her department.
"I... I've been asked personally by a quad-plat guest to spend some time with him. Could you send cover for my shift, please?"
The gryphon's eyes widened, and the corners of her beak turned up in an eager grin.
"Oh my gosh, I heard we had a quad-plat on board this time! Is he cute? Please tell me he's cute. How big's his cock?"
Alana snorted with laughter as behind the hologram Arjun struck a faux-sexy pose. The gryphon looked confused, then horrified with embarrassment.
"Oh god, he's there with you right now isn't he."
Alana nodded.
"Yup. And, yes, he's very cute."
The gryphon half vanished out of the hologram's view as though trying to hide her face as she groaned in dismay.
"Well, I'm gonna just crawl into a hole for the rest of the voyage. Sorry about that, Sir."
Arjun chuckled, and spoke up loud enough to be heard if not seen.
"It's okay. Although, if I could ask a favour while you're on the line, I could forget all about ever hearing what you totally didn't just say in front of me."
The gryphon smiled and slipped back into frame, the hologram shifting so that she was now facing Arjun, and presumably able to see him too.
"Name it. We'll assist in any way we can to give you the best cruise possible!"
Arjun grinned, and beamed back through the hologram to Alana while she blushed, squirmed on the spot, and squeezed his hand ever tighter, ever more eagerly within hers.
"When you send her replacement, let them know I'm okay with my room not being cleaned today. We might be out later, but... right now, Alana and I have a date with some videos."
