While under her tutelage he's torn between acting like the fine upstanding mage he was brought up to be and giving into his more base desires, Nella's way of life being far more liberated than what he's used to. All the while Nella seems intent on teasing the poor mage to his breaking point.  \n  \n~28,500 words  \n  \nNote: Tags apply to the work as a whole.","content":"\\\u003e\\*HHNNGG-brr-brr-brr-HHNNGG-brr-brr-brr\\*\n\n\\\u003eThe loud snore wakes me from my slumber\n\n\\\u003eMy mind groggily returns to me and I feel warm\n\n\\\u003eComfortably warm\n\n\\\u003eLike I'm wrapped up in a big furry blanket in the middle of a snowstorm\n\n\\\u003eBut it would be so much more comfortable if weren't for that damn snore!\n\n\\\u003eI pull my furry blanket over my head and-\n\n\\\u003eWait\n\n\\\u003eThe blanket I found on the bed wasn't made of fur…\n\n\\\u003eI open my eyes and look at the furry thing in my hand\n\n\\\u003eIt's a bear paw\n\n\\\u003eA big one, with five stout fingers each tipped with a large black claw\n\n\\\u003eAnd that snore, it's coming from right behind me!\n\n\\\u003eFilled with equal parts curiosity and fear I turn my head and look behind me\n\n\\\u003eA brown bear woman is sleeping with her chest against my back, her eyes are closed and a spittle of drool hangs from her mouth as she continues to snore\n\n\\\u003eAs much as I want to simply get the hell off the bed she's blocking my way, with the cave wall in front of me and several hundred pounds of bear behind me\n\n\\\u003eAfter briefly freezing with indecision I gently pick up her paw and place it beside her, then lay flat on the bed and tap her on the shoulder\n\n\\\u003e\"Hey, wake up.\" I whisper\n\n\\\u003eShe shows no sign of waking\n\n\\\u003eSo I tap on her on the shoulder with more vigor and raise my voice\n\n\\\u003e\"Hey! Wake up lady. You're in my bed.\"\n\n\\\u003eHer ear twitches and an eye slowly opens\n\n\\\u003e\"_Your_ bed? This is _our_ bed. I have as much right to use it as you do.\" She groggily replies\n\n\\\u003eThen her eye closes and she drapes her furry arm over me, that annoying snore once again coming from her muzzle\n\n\\\u003eWith a flicker of anger growing within me I get up and crawl over her\n\n\\\u003e\"Hey! Watch it!\" She spits back as I accidentally knee her in the stomach\n\n\\\u003eI land on the dirt floor and get on my feet, incredibly displeased at how my morning's gone so far\n\n\\\u003eTrying to keep my voice calm I cross my arms and stare an angry hole into the bear\n\n\\\u003e\"So are you Nella? I came here to meet with a druid, not serve as the bed warmer of some wild beast woman.\"\n\n\\\u003eShe raises her arms towards the ceiling and yawns, getting into a sitting position on the bed\n\n\\\u003eOnly now do I realize how little she's wearing\n\n\\\u003eHer breasts are held in a simple bra made of deerskin and her womanhood is hidden under a matching deerskin loincloth\n\n\\\u003eEven for a beast folk she dresses lightly\n\n\\\u003e\"Yes, I'm Nella.\" She clears her throat and gives me a warm smile. “I apologize if I startled you when you woke up. I simply felt it was unfair not to reward you with a warm night's sleep after that wonderful gift you left for my beaver.\"\n\n\\\u003eThat wonderful gift I left for her…beaver?\n\n\\\u003eI shake my head in confusion\n\n\\\u003e\"What?\"\n\n\\\u003eShe points to the side of the bed\n\n\\\u003e\"You know, that tasty stick you brought with you. She loved it by the way, she was able to put the finishing touches on her dam with it. Poor beaver's been looking for a nice, stout piece of wood like that for a while now.\"\n\n\\\u003eI finally put two and two together\n\n\\\u003e\"My staff?! A fucking beaver made off with my staff?! Where is it? I need it back!\"\n\n\\\u003eShe chuckles\n\n\\\u003e\"I already told you, she gnawed it to pieces and finished her dam with it. Such productive little creatures, she had it done by dawn.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Nella you fool! That staff was critical to my wellbeing! I _needed_ it!\"\n\n\\\u003eShe cocks an eyebrow\n\n\\\u003e\"Needed it? Why?\"\n\n\\\u003eI take a deep breath and calm my nerves, even though the sole source of my faux magical talent was now part of some beaver's waterfront property I mustn't let Nella know anything is up\n\n\\\u003eI look to the ground and scratch my head\n\n\\\u003e\"I…uhh…it's nothing. Anyway, I feel like we got off to a bad start. My name is Malik, I'm here to-“\n\n\\\u003eShe cuts me off\n\n\\\u003e\"You were sent here to learn from me by the college of mages back at the capital. Yes, I know, your horse told me all about it last night.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"My horse told you? The one I have tied up outside? The one that tries to eat my boots on a semi-regular basis?\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Of course! She's an old girl you know, it's cruel to ride her so hard for so long. I untied her and led her to a stream to drink, then told her she's free to gallop the forest as she sees fit.\"\n\n\\\u003eI feel the anger return to my face\n\n\\\u003e\"You let my horse free?! I need her to make the journey home! There's no way I can travel so many miles on foot.\"\n\n\\\u003eShe waves a paw dismissively\n\n\\\u003e\"Don't worry about it Malik. Your trusty steed will return to you before it's time to leave. You have my word.\" She assures me, putting a paw to her chest\n\n\\\u003eNella finally stands to her full height and stretches, her chest bouncing as she does\n\n\\\u003eShe licks her dry lips and her dark eyes fall to me\n\n\\\u003e\"Now, you came here to learn from me, right? Take off that ridiculous robe, put your boots on, and follow me outside.\"\n\n\\\u003eI scoff at her request\n\n\\\u003e\"Take off my robe? As a student of the mage's college on an official mission from the arch mage himself I simply can't do that. The robe acts a marker of distinction, it shows my place in the college and differentiates me from unsanctioned practitioners of magic.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Unsanctioned practitioners? Like me?\" She says, crossing her arms as a displeased look comes across her face\n\n\\\u003eI look down and shrug nervously\n\n\\\u003e\"Well…yes. You possess no degree nor certification from the college. B-b-but I don't mean to imply that you are somehow inferior to those that do, of course.\"\n\n\\\u003eI try to disarm the situation with a smile\n\n\\\u003eShe doesn't bite\n\n\\\u003e\"I see how it is. The college sends their young haughty students, like you, out here in the middle of nowhere so they can go back to their superiors and report _what_? That the stupid, silly, barely civilized beast folk can barely harness the natural energies of the world? That they all live in mud huts and eat raw meat? That they all act on instinct? Screwing like rabbits and beating each other on the head with wooden clubs when they get angry?\"\n\n\\\u003eI put my arms up in surrender\n\n\\\u003e\"N-no that's not what I meant at all-“\n\n\\\u003e\"Then take your robe off!\" Nella shouts, her tone just short of outright angry\n\n\\\u003eI take a deep breath and decide that it may not be in my best interest to anger the bear any further\n\n\\\u003eI slowly remove my mage's robe and place it on the bed, now only clothed in a cotton undershirt, loose leather pants, and my boots\n\n\\\u003eShe gives a satisfied huff and storms off to the entrance of the hut, I follow a few feet behind her\n\n\\\u003eShe throws open the bark door and I raise an arm up to shield my eyes from the blindingly bright daylight\n\n\\\u003eWhen my eyes adjust I scan my surroundings and-whoa\n\n\\\u003eThis place, it's beautiful\n\n\\\u003eThe tall pines from before are now joined with great mossy oaks, green vines hanging like spiderwebs between their branches\n\n\\\u003eThe ground is mostly short soft grass, it flows like water as a gentle breeze passes over it\n\n\\\u003eIn the surrounding forest I see animals of all shapes and sizes grazing, running, and playing between the trees\n\n\\\u003eI have to do a double take when I see a mighty dire wolf resting next to a deer casually munching on the grass, this place must exist outside the normal rules of mother nature\n\n\\\u003eA flock of geese fly overhead and brightly colored birds flitter from branch to branch high among the trees, the air filled with bird songs both foreign and familiar\n\n\\\u003eNella takes a few steps forward and stops, turning to me on a heel\n\n\\\u003e\"Welcome to my garden, Malik. This place is my home so I suggest you treat the surrounding forest with as much respect as you would treat your own quarters. It exists as a sort of sanctuary among the forest, where prey and predator can coexist as equals. You are free to roam and explore as you please but be aware my magics cannot protect you beyond the borders of my home.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"How will I know where the border is?\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Look down.\"\n\n\\\u003eI do as she says and I see a faint yellow glittery light gather around my ankles\n\n\\\u003eShe continues\n\n\\\u003e\"As long as you are in my borders that light will follow your feet. If you see it, you'll be under my protection. Now come Malik, sit beside me.\"\n\n\\\u003eShe takes a seat on the grass and pats the area in front of her\n\n\\\u003eI comply and sit down\n\n\\\u003e\"So, what's your area of magical expertise? Kinetics? Destruction? Transformation? Illusion? Fertility? Necromancy? What is your niche Malik?\"\n\n\\\u003eI feel pathetic not being able to give her an actual answer\n\n\\\u003eI clear my throat and make up a quick lie\n\n\\\u003e\"I'm more of a generalist. I study all forms of magic with equal weight.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"I've never heard of such a thing before, but I suppose you mages up in the capital are always experimenting with different methods of magical learning, aren't you?\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Yes, that's right. It's a new field.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"I'll have to keep it in mind from now on.\" She says with a nod. “Now a bit about myself. I specialize primarily in matters of fertility and nature. Birth, life, death, and rebirth, the grand old circle of life. I also dabble in healing magics and the area of arcane translation in my free time. Helps me gain favor with the locals and do my job as mistress of the forest a little better.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Arcane translation? What do you translate out here?\"\n\n\\\u003eShe looks at me as if I were a thick-skulled Neanderthal\n\n\\\u003eShe does an exaggerated turn to the left, then one to the right\n\n\\\u003e\"Did you think I was able to talk to feral animals because I just so happen to share a few of their physical traits? It's how I talk to the wildlife, you naïve little man.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Oh, right.\" I say, cheeks turning red with embarrassment. “Do you also use it to talk to the locals? When I passed through their village all of them aside from a taur girl spoke in the old tongue.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"No, I'm fluent in the old tongue actually. I picked it up while passing through the longhorn valley a number of years ago.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Longhorn valley? But the valley's been flooded for the past hundred and fifty years, how could you possibly-oh.\"\n\n\\\u003eGods, I knew druids tend to be long lived but even for one of them she looks to be in immaculate shape\n\n\\\u003e\"It's the outside air, it keeps me young.\" She says with a cheeky smile. “And a few fur dying herbs I keep around help too. Gets rid of the grays when they sprout up.\"\n\n\\\u003eI nod silently in response, too shocked to respond\n\n\\\u003eThe oldest living person I knew in all my years had to be the head mage of the college\n\n\\\u003eAt an incredible three hundred and thirty five he used a litany of rare magical artifacts and powerful brews to artificially lengthen his lifespan\n\n\\\u003eYet even with all the expertise and resources at his disposal his body still showed signs of his advanced age\n\n\\\u003eThinning gray hair, a hunched posture, meek strength, wrinkly skin, and dulled senses proved unavoidable despite his magical intervention\n\n\\\u003eBut Nella? She has to be at least two hundred, yet has the appearance of a bear a quarter her actual age! If not younger!\n\n\\\u003eShe claps her hands together and straightens her back, throwing me back to the present\n\n\\\u003e\"Malik, why don't you show me some of your magical ability? It doesn't have to be anything complex, just a ball of illumination or equally simple spell will do.\"\n\n\\\u003eMy mouth goes dry as I hear her request\n\n\\\u003eSurely I can do a spell so simple on my own, right?\n\n\\\u003eI clear my throat and raise my hands\n\n\\\u003eI close my eyes and concentrate on the necessary incantation, channeling the magical energies in the air and from within myself to create a ball of luminating brilliance\n\n\\\u003eAfter a few seconds of willing the ball into existence I crack my eyes open\n\n\\\u003eThere's a small point of light between my raised hands\n\n\\\u003eIt's blue and growing bigger, but at a very slow pace, too slow\n\n\\\u003eEven a mediocre mage could have the spell fully casted by now\n\n\\\u003eI close my eyes again and redouble my efforts\n\n\\\u003eOnly for a low hiss to emerge from between my hands, a sound that I've heard all too often\n\n\\\u003e\\*PPPPZZssstttttttt\\*\n\n\\\u003eThe sound quiets into nothing and my heart sinks\n\n\\\u003eI open my eyes to see the last remnants of my spell fade, the tiny ball of light folding in on itself as it disappears\n\n\\\u003eNella cocks her head but remains silent, clearly more confused than anything\n\n\\\u003e\"I, uhh, I was distracted. Let me try again.\" I sputter out, closing my eyes once more\n\n\\\u003eThis time I focus twice as hard and-\n\n\\\u003e\\*PPPPZZssstttttttt\\*\n\n\\\u003eThe spell fails mere milliseconds after it begins, a truly catastrophic failure\n\n\\\u003eMy face grows sweaty as I stare at Nella\n\n\\\u003eShe remains silent, then rests her elbow on a knee and props her head up, an indecipherable expression on her face\n\n\\\u003eMy eyes nervously dart between the ground and her, until finally I gain the courage to break the miserable silence\n\n\\\u003e\"What? I'm just not very good at that spell. Give me another one to try.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Cast a fireball.\" She replies flatly\n\n\\\u003e\"And what will my target be?\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Cast at it at me.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"What? You'll die!\"\n\n\\\u003e\"I think I'll be fine.\" She replies in that same unbothered tone of voice. “Should be an easy spell to cast right? And I'm only a couple feet away, an easy target.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Okay, I'll cast it.\" I put my hands up to begin casting, but stop as I genuinely fear for her safety. “Are you sure you don't want to put up a heat ward or something? Even a miscast fireball can be dangerous.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Shut up and cast it.\" She simmers back\n\n\\\u003eI take a deep breath and follow her command, closing my eyes and willing a ball of burning flame to appear between my hands\n\n\\\u003eA great heat coats my face and I open my eyes to find a ball of flame revolving between my hands, easily the size of a human head\n\n\\\u003eIt sputters and black smoke belches from within it but so far this spell is going far smoother than the previous one\n\n\\\u003eWith no small amount of hesitation I then will the ball of flame to fly into Nella\n\n\\\u003eAnd it does\n\n\\\u003eJust very slowly\n\n\\\u003eOne\n\n\\\u003eInch\n\n\\\u003eAt\n\n\\\u003eA\n\n\\\u003eTime\n\n\\\u003eI hear Nella sigh from behind the ball of flame\n\n\\\u003e\"Can't you hurry this thing up Malik? I'll be an old woman by the time it reaches me.\"\n\n\\\u003eI almost fire back with a snide remark regarding the obvious but I bite my tongue and redouble my focus instead\n\n\\\u003eYet even with my best efforts the ball of flame is barely making any progress towards her\n\n\\\u003eNella stands up and reaches downward, grasping the ball of flame between two paws\n\n\\\u003e\"Be careful! You'll-“\n\n\\\u003eI stop as I see Nella raise the ball above her head and punch it upward\n\n\\\u003eIt flies into the sky before exploding in a brilliant orange flame\n\n\\\u003eShe stares down at me, hands on her hips\n\n\\\u003e\"Neither of your balls worked Malik. I was able to get one to explode but only after punching it. A real poor performance from a college educated mage if you ask me.\"\n\n\\\u003eI quietly seethe below her, the game is up\n\n\\\u003eShe leans down and puts a paw under my chin, raising my head\n\n\\\u003e\"You have magical ability, that's clear, but the problem is that you don't have the slightest clue in how to use it.\"\n\n\\\u003eI finally scramble off the ground and raise my arms in exasperation\n\n\\\u003e\"Ya! I suck at magic! So what? Do you feel proud of yourself little Ms. Druid of the forest? Humiliating me like this? Does it get your nethers wet? You going to force me to walk back home now or something?\"\n\n\\\u003eStrangely, she looks down at me and smiles before reaching a paw out and ruffling my hair\n\n\\\u003eNella speaks with a pitiful maternal tone, the way a mother may speak to their child after they lose a game\n\n\\\u003e\"Oh, you poor, sad little thing.\" She whispers. “I get nothing out of humiliating you, I really don't. But at the same time it was dishonest of you to try and pretend to be more skilled than you really are. And I'm guessing that whole thing about being a generalist was just you blowing smoke up my loincloth because you haven't yet found an area of magic you're inclined towards, have you?\"\n\n\\\u003eI sigh and rub my neck, her gentle tone and honest words having calmed me down \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003e\"Yes, that's right. I'm not good at much, especially not magic. Which kind of makes it an issue considering I come from a long line of skilled mages and my father is a professor at a college that can't seem to teach me the one thing I'm _supposed_ to be good at.\"\n\n\\\u003eNella crosses her arms and gives me a once over, surveying me like a cut of meat\n\n\\\u003eAfter a few silent seconds she puts a paw on my shoulder and breaks the silence\n\n\\\u003e\"Malik, there's no other way for me to put it, you're pathetic. Blessed by the gods with magical ability, born to a family of mages, accepted to the highest institute of arcane learning in all the land, yet you can't even do as much as summon a flashy ball of light on demand. If I had any sense I would send you back home and save myself a ton of trouble. _But_, seeing a 'noble mage' like you get so flustered does bring a smile to my muzzle. And you humans are kind of cute when your faces get so red like that.\"\n\n\\\u003eI frown and look away, trying to hide my embarrassment, she continues\n\n\\\u003e\"Oh come on, stop trying to conceal your hurt feelings from me you bashful little man. Ah hell, come here.\"\n\n\\\u003eHer paws wrap around my back and bring me into her bosom\n\n\\\u003eShe hugs me tightly and after a slight hesitation I awkwardly return her embrace\n\n\\\u003eWith my face smashed against her mostly naked body I feel my face grow even redder\n\n\\\u003eMy nose rubs against her fur and I smell moss, dirt, sweet flowers, and a faint hint of bearish musk\n\n\\\u003eI expected far worse from a druid, they aren't known for their strict personal hygiene\n\n\\\u003eShe gently rocks me side to side for a few moments before setting me free and backing away\n\n\\\u003e\"Tell you what Malik, let's make a deal. If you agree to help me around the village and assist with my druidly duties, then I agree to help you hone your magical abilities and find your niche in the process. You can be like my little student, learning from a wise old bear the tips and tricks of a practicing druid. How does that sound?\"\n\n\\\u003eI consider her offer\n\n\\\u003eHelp her with some menial tasks for a week or two and in return get to go back home as a hopefully competent mage\n\n\\\u003eOr, refuse her offer and go back home as the same broken pathetic loser I left it as\n\n\\\u003eMy answer comes pretty quick\n\n\\\u003e\"Yes, I agree to your terms Nella.\"\n\n\\\u003eShe gives me a toothy smile\n\n\\\u003e\"Perfect! Now that introductions are over and our little agreement is settled I can finally begin my morning routine. Come, sit back down.\" She sits cross legged on the grass and I follow. “So Malik, did the college ever teach you the sacred positions of Gaia?\"\n\n\\\u003e\"No, I've never heard of such things.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"I'm not surprised, let me give you a quick explanation. The body, as it deals with the tribulations of daily life, gradually gains negative energies throughout the day. These energies can be from stress, emotional trauma, pain, lack of sleep, all sorts of things. To purge one's body of negative energies one can assume the positions of Gaia. These positions naturally free, destress, and purify the energies flowing through the body. They leave one feeling energized and ready to start the day, hence why I always perform them in the morning.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"I see, I've never heard of these 'negative energies' before but I did come here to learn, after all. What's the first position?\"\n\n\\\u003e\"We can start with something simple, copy my actions.\"\n\n\\\u003eNella spreads her legs out on the ground, stretching them out to the point that they nearly point in completely opposite directions\n\n\\\u003eAs she finishes I can't help but glance down at her crotch, intensely aware of how her sex was only hidden from me by a thin layer of deer skin\n\n\\\u003eWarding away my lewd thoughts I quickly glance back up to Nella, who thankfully seems unaware of my peek at her crotch\n\n\\\u003eWhen her eyes drift back up to mine with a look of expectation I quickly spread my own legs on the ground\n\n\\\u003eI'm not able to accomplish as nearly as wide of an angle as she is, I've never been particularly flexible, but I stretch as far as my ligaments will allow and look back up to her\n\n\\\u003e\"Is this good Nella?\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Hmm, this position requires your legs to be more open then that. Let me assist you.\"\n\n\\\u003eShe scoots closer to me, our bodies nearly touching, then puts her paws out for me to grab\n\n\\\u003eI grip her paws and she continues\n\n\\\u003e\"This is a simple exercise to stretch one's muscles, just try to relax and stretch your legs a little further each time we go back and forth. When I pull your hands back you'll lean forward as far as you can, then you'll pull my hands back and I'll go as far forward as I can, and so on. Got it?\"\n\n\\\u003eI nod my head and she begins\n\n\\\u003eShe leans backward and pulls my hands with her\n\n\\\u003eMy muscles burn and tendons ache as my legs are stretched to their limit, then a little further beyond, but I grit my teeth and let her pull me forward\n\n\\\u003eShe only stops when my head touches her fur and I could go no further forward\n\n\\\u003eMy forehead now embedded in her belly fluff, I see something almost completely hidden under her fur to my left\n\n\\\u003eIt's a nub, like a nipple, but attached to no breast\n\n\\\u003eLooking down I see another, assuming there's two more on her other side that's six nipples in total, four on her belly and two on her chest\n\n\\\u003eWell, beast folk are just full of anatomical oddities, aren't they?\n\n\\\u003eHorns, claws, taurs, fur, muzzles, scales, and now I'm learning that ursine beast folk are simply too good for two nipples like most other beings\n\n\\\u003eAt least this way 2/3 of her teats don't tease me with being hidden under a thin bra, though the fact that they're not attached to jiggling globes like her top two nips are does dull my lust\n\n\\\u003eWait, is she supposed to cover them even though they're flush with her belly?\n\n\\\u003eBack at the capital female beast folk cover most of their bodies with cloth, but were they just following trends or actually trying to protect their modesty by not showing their lower breasts to the world? Or maybe-\n\n\\\u003eFocus Malik! She's going to think you're some kind of freak if she notices you staring at her weird belly nipples!\n\n\\\u003eI try to look upward at her face and-\n\n\\\u003eHoly shit\n\n\\\u003eFrom this angle her mammaries look twice as big as they did before\n\n\\\u003eHer deerskin bra isn't quite big enough to fully cover them so I get an ideal view of some prime underboob\n\n\\\u003eSo furry and soft, my mind flashes back to when she stretched on the bed and her tits bounced as she yawned\n\n\\\u003eFor a woman ten times my age she sure-\n\n\\\u003e\"Malik, you need to pull me forward.\" She says\n\n\\\u003eI look between her fur mountains at her face\n\n\\\u003e\"Right, sorry, my legs really hurt is all.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"It will hurt less as we go on. Now pull me forward, as I did to you.\"\n\n\\\u003eI comply and pull backwards, taking her with me\n\n\\\u003eI stop just before her muzzle touches my belly and-\n\n\\\u003eOh man, this view of her tits is arguably even better\n\n\\\u003eThey dangle in the air just above my waist, her thin bra doing an exceptionally poor job of holding them to her chest\n\n\\\u003eAnd not only that, but it's shifted slightly in the air and slid down a little bit, just the barest hint of a light brown areola visible above the topmost edge of one of her tits\n\n\\\u003eI feel a hardness grow below and I pray that Nella doesn't notice the new bulge in my trousers\n\n\\\u003eShe pulls me forward and my head hits her belly again\n\n\\\u003eHer dark brown fur is soft, far silkier than I expected from someone without access to soaps or shampoos, and just below her fur I feel a plushy softness\n\n\\\u003eGods, I wouldn't mind just laying my head down on her belly and taking a-\n\n\\\u003eDamnit! Focus Malik! You horny bastard!\n\n\\\u003eClearing my head of lustful thoughts I turn to the task at hand and lean backward, taking Nella back to my side\n\n\\\u003eThis time I resist the urge to ogle her chest and instead stare blankly at the surrounding forest, my erection not finding the trees nearly as sexy causing it to gradually soften\n\n\\\u003eCome on Malik, not only is Nella a beast folk but she's several times your age as well, she's so far removed from your dating pool you'd probably have better luck with a carnivorous man-eating plant\n\n\\\u003eJust try to focus on helping Nella with her duties and extracting wisdom from her words without exploding in your trousers and you'll be golden\n\n\\\u003eIt's harder said than done as we continue the odd back and forth for a few more minutes, Nella focused on the stretching while I tried to ignore the barely clothed body of my new teacher\n\n\\\u003eMercifully, she eventually declares the stretching exercise done and gets up\n\n\\\u003eWe then make the short trip into the village\n\n\\\u003eNella greets every beast folk she comes across by name as we meander between their wooden huts\n\n\\\u003eI don't know what they're saying to each other, but it's readily apparent how well liked she is among them\n\n\\\u003eWide smiles, friendly greetings, she's even gifted a few fruits from random villagers as we walk through the center of the village\n\n\\\u003eThe large bonfire I saw from before is now nothing more than smoking cinders, a few spits of meat slowly roasting by its base from the residual heat\u0026nbsp;\n\n\\\u003eThe rest of the day is spent visiting the cattle herders and animal keepers of the village\n\n\\\u003eNella inspects the full breadth of the beasts in their care\n\n\\\u003eChickens, goats, cows, rabbits, there are even a couple of hippogriffs grazing in one of their cow pastures\n\n\\\u003eI was in awe that the tribe could tame such wily winged beasts, though Nella would later tell me that they were simply stopping for food on their way to the warmer climates in the South\n\n\\\u003eI had no reason to doubt her, and the mischievous smile she barely hid tells me she might have had something to do with their appearance as well\n\n\\\u003eIt was near sundown by the time Nella had finally worked her way down to the last of the cattle, a plain looking black and white cow\n\n\\\u003eWith a paw on the heifer's belly she declared the animal to be pregnant\n\n\\\u003eI responded with an unenthusiastic “Oh, interesting.\"\n\n\\\u003eShe frowned, then invited me to try and do as she did, using magical insight to see what my own eyes could not and divine the reproductive state of the animal\n\n\\\u003eI copied her actions and put a hand on the cow's warm belly\n\n\\\u003eI closed my eyes, focused on putting my magical abilities to use, and tried to divine the state of the animal\n\n\\\u003eAfter several tense seconds I finally sensed…nothing but cow fur and body heat\n\n\\\u003eDisappointed, I removed my hand and shook my head\n\n\\\u003eNella gave me a few encouraging words, she wasn't expecting me to be able to do much these first few days, but my spirits remained low nonetheless\n\n\\\u003eWith her duties for the day completed we began the trek back to Nella's garden in the dying sun\n\n\\\u003eUpon entering the hut I made a beeline for the bed to retrieve my robe and spare clothing, hoping to create a makeshift sleeping spot on the floor out of them so I wouldn't have to share Nella's bed again\n\n\\\u003eUpon setting eyes on my robe I see it's covered in a layer of moths\n\n\\\u003eI wave them away and-\n\n\\\u003eWell there used to be a robe there, now it's just a loose collection of blue strings\n\n\\\u003eI open my bag of clothing only to be met with a face full of moths all rushing out of it\n\n\\\u003eAnd after peering inside my worst fears are made real, aside from what's on my back all of my clothing is now either in a moth's belly or reduced to a pile of half-eaten strings\n\n\\\u003eI hear Nella walk up behind me and put a paw on my shoulder with an empathic sigh\n\n\\\u003e\"What a shame, in retrospect I probably should have told you about the moth infestation in my abode before setting out this morning. The hungry little insects like to eat anything they can get their hands on, hence why I dress so sparsely, and with animal hides rather than cloth.\"\n\n\\\u003eI toss the empty bag to the floor\n\n\\\u003e\"At least I have the clothes I'm still wearing.\" I say with a sad shrug\n\n\\\u003e\"Until they fall apart from wear and tear or the moths eat them while you sleep, yes, you have them for now.\"\n\n\\\u003eI motion towards the bed\n\n\\\u003e\"Do you have somewhere else I can sleep Nella? I didn't mean to steal your bed last night, I simply followed the letter and took the first bed I saw.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Oh don't worry about that Malik, you did exactly as I told you.\"\n\n\\\u003e\"You wanted me to sleep in your bed?\"\n\n\\\u003e\"It's big enough for two people, isn't it?\"\n\n\\\u003eMy gaze shifts between the bed and Nella in disbelief\n\n\\\u003e\"Nella, where I come from it's uncouth for a man to sleep in the bed of a woman he is not otherwise _engaged_ with, if you get my meaning.\"\n\n\\\u003eShe puts her paws on her hips with a frown\n\n\\\u003e\"And where I come from it's rude to not share one's body heat when the air grows colder with each passing day. Malik, you just lost all your warm clothing and my little underground home isn't exactly outfitted for a fireplace. We will share this bed as teacher and student, nothing more, nothing less. Got it?\"\n\n\\\u003e\"Nella please I would really prefer-“\n\n\\\u003e\"I won't hear anymore of this! A student that allows some silly sense of modesty to rule his life is no student of mine. What's next? Are you going to refuse to assist me in helping a mother deliver her baby due to the potential of seeing her birthing canal? Will you refuse to visit distant beast tribes where the women don't cover their breasts? Will you refuse to feel the Earth and taste the wind for fear of finding some aspect of it 'icky'? Because if you are the kind of prude who opposes such experiences then you might as well leave. I have little tolerance for haughty puritans or insufferable moralists.\"\n\n\\\u003eI rub my neck in tired defeat\n\n\\\u003e\"Forget I said anything Nella.\"\n\n\\\u003eHer scowl softens into a neutral expression and she gently pushes me onto the bed\n\n\\\u003e\"Good. Now perform whatever pre-sleep rituals you have and get ready for bed. There's going to be a cold snap tonight so it's especially important that you stay warm, wouldn't my new student to wake up with his nose blue from frostbite.\" Nella then crawls onto the bed, taking up a little more than half of the bed with her back against the dirt wall of the hut. “Just put your back against my chest when you're ready and I ought to keep you pleasantly warm.\"\n\n\\\u003eI nod and untie my boots, placing them by the bed before laying down on my side\n\n\\\u003eI slowly move backwards until my back hits a wall of fur then stop\n\n\\\u003eThough she is warm, and the air is growing nippy, I dare not test my luck by smushing my back against her breasts for a bit more of her heat\n\n\\\u003eJust being in bed with her is strange enough and the sensation of her plushy fur, soft breasts, and toasty body heat against my back is threatening to stiffen my manhood\n\n\\\u003eI rest my head on a pillow then-\n\n\\\u003eHer large paw comes down on my chest, pushing me against her\n\n\\\u003eThe sensation of my back squishing her boobs is unmistakable, and her paw remains on my chest as if to make sure I wouldn't try to leave\n\n\\\u003eOh hell, if this is how she wants to sleep then who am I to complain?\n\n\\\u003eIt feels like I'm wrapped in an expensive bear skin blanket while a warm fire sits behind me\n\n\\\u003eWith the sound of a familiar snore to my rear I drift off into the void, for the first time more excited than depressed at what my future holds","series":{"name":"Lessons on Bearing Fruit","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/2077574-chapter-1-late-night-check-in.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/2077581-chapter-3-dry-run.json"}}
