Gunther's Grotto
Gunther's cabin, or grotto, as he calls it, isn't really a cave. But, with all the clutter in it, it might as well be one. Mounds of miscellaneous parts lie in piles with only a few narrow walkways through it to get to his elevated bed and his desk. The walls are lined with various weapons, from basic crossbows, to several prototypes of his repeating crossbow, to weird tentacle-looking devices that had best not be thought too much about. Amusingly, the only neat thing in the entire room is his bed. It's so well made a shekel could be bounced off the sheets.

Sleeping with an otter isn't easy, Gunther discovers. Where some people snore, hog the covers, wet the bed or sleepwalk, Nene sleep wrestles. The bedclothes are hopelessly tangled by the time the sun begins to rise, and Gunther is pretty sure he's been bitten several times as well.

Gunther manages to extract himself enough from the covers to at least stretch! He yawns wide and wiggles his fingers, admiring the webbing, then tries to do his morning tail grooming, since it was probably squished a bit. But his tail is being thick today for some reason, and doesn't quite want to curl around to his lap. It really does need fluffing, since right now it looks.. like.. an otter's tail? Maybe it's Nene's!

Gunther then licks slowly over his lips as he slowly becomes more aware of the world. Something is nagging at him; but he's not sure what. He'll worry about it later because he has an otter tail in hand .. and he decides to mischievously bite it!

OUCH! It's not supposed to hurt like that! And his teeth aren't supposed to be so sharp and pointy! A buried lump in the bed begins to stir now.

Gunther barks! He then quickly covers his face with his hands! The blinks; his face doesn't feel right either! Panicking, he scrambles, then falls out of the bed with a thump! Now on the floor, he tries to look at himself!

There was something in the fall that was worrisome, and now it's really apparent: not only is Gunther an otter.. he's Nene! He's got bits missing! And new bits where there weren't any before! And.. he feels weird on top of that!

"Nonono, this isn't possible! Gunther thinks as he starts panic-feeling all over the female otter body! It's like he's trying to find what's missing! Maybe she's dreaming? She? Argh! This can't be real!

And self-groping isn't helping the weird feeling.. it's making it stronger! Is that her smell? "Mrhfl pahear.. pbbbbbt.." says the lump on the bed, and eventually a long, fluffy gray tail flops out from between the linens to lay across Gunther's feet.

Gunther squeaks when the feeling gets stronger, then covers her moth with her webbed hands! Bad idea, the smell is overpowering! So, soon the hands are yanked away. "This isn't possible!" the otter blurts out; the voice sound quite like Nene's! In a blind panic now, the otter galumps around the bed on all fours!

"Oooo, stop bouncing around.." the lump mutters, sounding like.. Gunther. Finally a gray Kadie head with incredibly mussed up looking fur pushes free of the blankets. "I feel off.." the boy complains.

Gunther jumps on the bed, landding on and pinning the kadie to the bed! "You feel off!" she chirps, then grabs her own chest and waggles it at the kadie, "Look at me! How did you become me and me become you?!"

Nene gapes, then pulls up the covers to look down between her.. nope, definitely his.. legs. "Ahhhhhh!" Nene yelps, and grabs down there. "Get it off! It's not coming off!"

"It doesn't come off! Quit or you'll hurt yourself, er, me!" Gunther blurtts out, using her webbed hands to bat at Gunther's and then grab him there protectively!

Nene stops and.. freezes. The musky odor sort of hangs in the air. "We should.. uh.. see a witch," Nene suggests, in Gunther's voice. "Or like, Parsley. Nobody else can know."

"Maybe it'll just wear off? Do we have to see anyone?" Gunther asks timidly, in Nene's voice. "I feel and smell really, really, strange right now."

"Ugh, and it's making me.. you.. feel funny too," Nene says. "Maybe you should leg go, I promise not to try and pull it off again!"

Gunther squeezes protectively. "Do you promise?" she asks. Gunther actually looks afraid right now. She even moves in really close to Nene too.

"I.. uh.. how do you think?" Nene asks, in a panic, and grabs Gunther to .. kiss him!

Gunther squeaks! And yet, kisses right back! Hands release and her arms wrap around Nene soon thereafter. Of course now the otter is quite pressed up against the kadie...

"So.. uh.. what was I saying?" Nene asks, looking.. dizzy? She wraps her arms around Gunther and squeezes! "Oh wow, I know exactly how to make that body squeal too!"

"Should I be worried I want you to make me squeal?" Gunther asks, practically vibrating. "I, this ... I mean I've before kinda maybe wanted to be an otter, but ... What do we do if it doesn't wear off? I don't even know how to be an otter! Or a girl!"

"We.. gotta ask someone!" Nene pleads. "It's gotta be the dragons or something, right? Because we both got slurped by one!"

"Parsley then? She's good about not telling stuff," Gunther relents and bites her lip. "Can I kiss you again?"

"No, you can't," Nene says, and then rolls to pin Gunther down and kiss her! "It was my turn!"

With the way Gunther feels right now this is okay! So the otter is soon on her back and being kadie kissed! "Okay, so this part isn't so bad," the otter thinks, eyes closing and actually enjoying the attention. Webbed hands are soon stroking Nene's back, then scratching the kadie right above her tail; that always felt good before.

"Eeee, we'll never find Parsley at this rate," Nene notes. "Where is she in the mornings?"

"The springs," Gunther murmurs, "And ... I don't mind if we're a little late. It's helping with this weird feeling. Though ... I smell really, really musky now."

"We should go together," Nene says, then gets a horrified expression on Gunther's face. "How will we get dressed? Maybe we shouldn't.."

"I can't go out like this," Gunther says, horrified! "I have all this fleshy stuff that bobs around! Er, maybe we have ot dress each other. That might work?"

"Okay, we'll do that!" Nene says, and goes to hop off of the bed.. only to propel herself into the far wall. SPLAT!

Gunther winces. "Uhm, kadies are really good at jumping. You need to push lighter..." she suggests. The otter sort of rolls out of the bed and gets to her feet. It's anything but graceful with the way she waddles and teeters about. "Man, this is weird! How do you balance?"

"With the tail of course," Nene says after peeling himself from the wall. "You have a hard head at least. What's the minimum we can get away with wearing?"

"You can just wear shorts." Gunther claims as he waddles to a chest and tries to use the tail for better balance. "Easy. Just, uhm, sit on the bed and I'll put them on you."

With extreme care, the Kadie tip-toes to the bed and sits down, trying to find a comfortable way to cross his legs before giving up.

Gunther looks and finds a pair of shorts before wadding back to the bed, then clumsily kneeling down before Nene. Her head tilts and she blinks. "I've never seen myself from this angle before. I look weird," she admits, staring for a few seconds.

"The staring isn't helping," Nene says, and manages to get his tail around to block the view. "Wow! I like this tail though.."

Gunther actually pouts. She also has to push the tail away so she can fit the shorts on. "Just relax, okay?" she says as she guides the kadie's legs into the shorts, then starts pulling them up slowly. "And you're a mess! I'll have to comb you down some."

"What? A mess? But I'm cute that way!" Nene claims, crossing his arms over his chest... then getting a weird expression. "Okay, I might not have had the boobs for long, but this feels weird."

"It feels just as weird for me to have them right now, trust me," Gunther admits as she carefully shimmies the shorts into place, then buttons up the front, making sure to not catch anything. "Though, I really like the hands, the webbing is neat," she babbles. "I could get used to the hands."

"And your boobs feel sore. Er, my boobs. Er, you know what I mean," Gunther adds.

"Sore? What did you do to them?" Nene asks, and.. grabs them to check for bruises. "They feel squishy. I didn't think they'd feel that squishy.."

"I ... " Gunther starts to say, then looks confused. "Okay, that feels weird too. But a good weird," she admits when she's being squeezed.

"Shorts," Nene remembers, letting go of Gunther to dig through the debris for the otter's ill-fitting shorts. "And a top! Uh.. something of yours might fit. I mean, of mine.. uh.. you know what I mean! Mummy-wrap takes too long."

"Right, er, brushing," Gunther says once she gets back to her feet too and waddles to find a brush while Nene searches. "So, uhm," she says, "Do you like being me? I mean, is it okay?"

"I think it's more fun when we're ourselves," Nene notes. "But.. this is pretty damp, but in a good way. At least I know you find me attractive now!"

"Ah, heh, yeah, er," Gunther admits, "And uhm, I think you must like me too. Being around you makes the weird feeling weirder." And apparently deciding to change the subject, he says, "I have to admit I want to try swimming like this. I've always wondered what it would be like."

"As long as you don't bang into stuff like I did," Nene claims, and holds up a pair of shorts! Gunther's shorts, actually. "These should fit better!"

It's Gunther's turn to go ssit on the edge of the bed. The brush she found is turned over and over in her hands.

Nene gets the shorts over Gunther's legs.. and then sort of freezes there in between them. "Uh.. you can pull them on the rest of the way, right?" the Kadie asks.

"I don't know yet, but I want to really bad," Nene claims, and covers his nose while stepping back, tail fluttering about like mad.

Gunther looks hurt. She even pouts. But, the otter does manage to take a hold of the shorts and wiggle them upward, then button them. "Wow! It feels really different to not have things tucked in them!"

"Have you got a poncho or something?" Nene asks. "That'd be the easiest to deal with.."

"Don't you wear them when it rains though?" Nene asks, looking for.. a loose shirt or vest.

There are several loose shirts, at least. Some without stains, even! "How do you think this happened?" Gunther asks. "I bet it was from you biting me."

"Or a towel.. ah!" Nene pulls up a pullover that's probably a hand-me-down from Zahnrad, and goes to try and get into onto Gunther. "Hold your hands up. And I don't know how it happened! Maybe it was the milk.."

"Oh, right. That. Uhm, maybe if you did that again it would reverse!" Gunther suggests.

Gunther does hold her hands up over her head. She marvels at how long the otter-body is!

Once the shirt is on, Nene grabs Gunther's hand to pull her up off the bed. "Okay.. what's the fastest way to the hot spring?" he asks.

"Well, down the elevator, then past Zahn's workshop, then you go right, and it's about three hundred feet from there," Gunther explains as she rises off the bed and pats town the shirt a bit with her free hand.

"And what are we going to do if this can't be fixed?" Gunther asks, sounding like she's about to panic again!

The shirt hands a bit loose, but it shouldn't be a problem if Gunther doesn't bend over too much. Nene gets the door open, and then turns to ask. "What if we run into your brother or something? What should we do?"

"Yell a lot and pretend to be kidnapping me," Gunther suggests, "He'll just roll his eyes."

"Of course it can be fixed!" Nene says. "If Parsley can't do it, there are the witches. Okay.. I guess I could throw you over my shoulder and cackle and stuff right?"

"I have a really nice tail," Gunther then has to add, staring at his, er, Nene's butt.

"Yeah! Something like that!" Gunther agrees, "Or stuff me in a barrel and roll me to the springs..."

"You have barrels just laying around for that?" Nene asks.. then blinks. "Of course you do. Strategically stashed around.."

"Like, duh," Gunther claims. She even puts a hand on her hips and cocks it just so.

"You're starting to get too comfy in my body," Nene says, and checks for anyone nearby before stepping outside.

"I am not!" Gunther blurts out. The outside seems to be clear. It's not like the family is large, after all.

"Okay, quietly!" Nene whispers, and starts to sneak along the catwalk, trying not to get her grabby new toes caught in anything.

And Gunther wobbles along after her, trying to use that thick tail for balance. Just as they step onto the main platform they both hear Gunther's mother call out, "Gunther!" And .. Gunther turns to answer...

A moment later, Nene thinks to turn as well. "Um.. yes.. uh.. Mom?" he manages to ask.

And just in time to get Gunther to cover her mouth! "Are you bringing your little otter friend to dinner tonight? Or will you be going to her houseboat?" Gunther's mother calls from the central building. She must be in the kitchen.

Gunther just sort of makes a squeaking sound. "I can get some fish for her; it's no problem. After having kids, handling fish is nothing," Gunther's mom calls back. "But if she likes pie, you should buy that for her. And try to not get banned from the bakery again, please? They're only letting you back in there because I promised I locked you in a chest for a week after the last time, when you caused their flour bin to explode."

"It was ... " gunther starts to say, then clamps her webbed hands over her mouth. "It wasn't my fault," she grouses. "They acted like they were hiding troll sin the bin."

"It wasn't my fault, they acted like they were hiding trolls in the bin!" Nene complains on Gunther's behalf. Then grabs Gunther by the hand and hurries towards the elevator.

"She likes you," Gunther mutters as she's pulled along to the elevator. "And it was my dity! What if the trolls stole all the flour?"

"They'd make troll cakes?" Nene guesses, holding Gunther close when they reach the elevator. "Almost there!"

They manage to get on the elevator without any further accosting. "When you're close I feel really weird," Gunther admits, twitching, "Not a bad weird! Just ... weird." And apparently a bit distracted, because it takes her a moment to actually operate the controls to lower the elevator.

"It's magic I bet," Nene claims, tail twitching all over the place. As soon as the elevator stops, he dragons Gunther out and looks around to get his bearings. "So.. this way, right?" he asks, heading in the general direction of the springs.

"Yeah! That way," Gunther agrees. She also heads that way quickly, and starts pulling Nene along in a hurry. "I just hope the longer we're like this doesn't make it harder to reverse," the otter frets.

"Oh you had to put that thought in my head?" Nene asks, as they race to the springs. "Will Parsley be out doing laundry or washing up?"

"Uh! Depends! I hope laundry. I don't wanna go in the girls bath!" Gunther whines.

"But you are a girl this time," Nene points out. "Imagine what would happen if Emmett found you there though!"

Thankfully the path through the Wingnuts is vacant. When Zahn's working it isn't like he notices anything anyway. Or when Amy is visiting. He's so distracted whenever she is around.

"Probably lose control of himself!" Nene says. "Just jump on you and make a baby!"

"Nooooo!" Gunther whines! She runs faster! Not as fast as a Kadie, at least, the legs are not built for it.

"Don't trip!" Nene calls, keeping up. "You don't want to fall on your chest, trust me! I can see the laundry lines!" Sure enough up ahead is the laundry area, and as luck would have it Parsley is there hanging up wet clothes. Or things too dainty to serve as real clothes.

"Paaaarsley!" Gunther calls out! "Are you alone? We need to talk to you like right now!" She runs even faster, and has a few scary moments of stumbling!

"Is that you, Nene?" the Lapi maid asks, after hanging the last bit of lingerie. "What's gotten you all worked up?"

"I'm Gunther!" Gunther claims, "And that's Nene! We woke up like this. I woke up and saw webbed hands and I bit my thick tail. I also feel really weird and smell funny," the otter goes at an impressive clip of talking speed, "And Nene woke up in my body, and gets all twitchy when she gets close to me. And he gets even worse if I touch myself; which feels good and just plain weird! How did this happen!?! How did she become me and me become her? And how do we fix it?"

"Oh.. uh.. maybe you should start before that?" Parsley asks. "Was there anything unusual?"

"It was the Milk Dragon," Nene wails, catching up. "He glomped me and Bebe laughed and I got all big, see!" He then helpfully pulls up Gunther's shirt. "Only it was worse! And I couldn't fit in my clothes and Gunther drank the milk so I wouldn't be all sore.."

Parsley puts her hand to her forehead and takes a deep breath. "Alright.. the dragons. Now, after you drank the milk.." she seems unsure which person to face at the moment. "After that, did you.. mate at all?"

"Yeah! It was awful, but then you knocked me out and I got better," Gunther says.

"Yes.. well, see.. the dragons are the male and female aspects of Spring," the Lapi tries to explain. "Since you got the male part before, it's only natural that Nene would seek you out when she got the female part. But.. you.." Again, she has trouble figuring out who to address.. "drank the milk. That put things out of balance. What you need to do is get 'big' again, and.. uh.. then you and Nene.. that is, Gunther's body balances out the milk by transferring more of the male essence back to Nene's body, then.. everything would be normal again, probably."

Gunther scratches his head. "What?" he asks, "I didn't follow that at all." She looks at Nene. "Did you?" she asks the kadie.

Nene rocks back and forth on his heels, and plays with his tail. "You mean sex right? Fitting the bits together? And then what?"

Gunther blinks. "That would be weird!" she claims and sort of bounces in place. "And you're sure it would fix it? What if it doesn't?"

"Well.. once you get to that point the rest usually works itself out," Parsley says. "Unless you want me to guide you through it? And if it doesn't work.. well, then you'll need to Isolde probably. She knows about this spirit-swapping stuff. I just remember things from when I was a Shrine Maiden myself.."

"So, uhm, the first time this happens I have to be a girl?" Gunther asks, eying Parsley, then Nene. "I don't know how to be a girl!"

"Well, would you know what to do any better if you were still a boy?" Parsley points out.

"No ... but that's not the point! The point is, it's weird," Gunther claims and crosses her arms over her chest. "And, uhm, so is this," she adds, bouncing her arms on said chest.

"Well, we can sort this out, I'm sure," Parsley says, looking put upon. "Just.. meet me in your cabin in about ten minutes okay? Go swimming or tree climbing or something until then."

Gunther looks over at Nene nervously now. "Do you want to do this?" she asks nervously.

"Do you want to stay an otter.. or have to face Isolde?" Nene whispers with dread. "Remember how mad she was last time, with the dragon? And she just sent you to Parsley then anyway!"

"Isolde is scarier," Gunther has to admit as she bites her lip. "But, I could stay an otter! It's kinda neat..."

"You wanted to swim.. we should go swim," Nene says. "I can see how your body really does it, and you can see how mine does, so.. it'll make your ottersuit better, right?"

Gunther perks up! "Yeah, actually, it would! That's a good idea," she says, suddenly sounding completely fine again. "So, cabin in ten minutes or so. Until then, swimming!" She pauses, then has to say, "But ... swimming means being naked, in the open."

"In the water," Nene points out, and starts dragging Gunther towards the reservoir. "Who's going to see?"

"You will see me naked!" Gunther claims, though she does head towards the reservoir. "And oh! That can be fun, you can aim!"

"We've already seen eachother naked though!" Nene points out. "And yeah, Emmett brags about stuff like that! Are there targets and stuff?"

"Just about anything is a target," Gunther says with a toothy grin as the dam comes into view. "Just not people! Well, unless you don't like them." She then freezes. "What if other otters are at the dam?" she whimpers.

"This early? Well.. you want to swim or not? I can keep any others away from you," Nene says. "After all, I'm Gunther Kettenrad, the Terror of Mint Dam! Nobody would dare to cross me!"

"Oh of course!" Gunther agrees, "I feel stupid now." So, she resumes heading for the dam ... and even starts pulling her shirt off!

Once they reach the shore, it looks empty enough. Gunther can swim all by herself, while Nene.. dashes off behind a try to try some target practice. "Aha! Take this, caterpillar! Take that, pinecone!"

Gunther has to giggle at that, an all too girly and cute one, at that. Her shirt is draped on a rail, then she's soon shimmying out of her shorts. Soon, the naked otter is stretching. She eyes the water nervously, then just ... jumps in! Near the dam, of course, in case she needs something to cling to.

It's weird. And not because of the different body, but because.. it doesn't feel like being in water. Sure there's water, she's in the water.. but doesn't really feel wet like he would as a Kadie.

"Woah, weird," Gunther admits, then draws in a deep breath. the otter then dives beneath the surface and starts paddling those webbed paws about, seeing what they do and how they work. And then she remembers something about the tail, so snakes it back and forth...

Wow! It's like flying through the water! And hardly even feeling like she's holding her breath. And unlike a few times before, going down deep doesn't cause her to lose her sense of up and down.

Okay, this is awesome! Gunther actually dives as deep as he can, skimming along the reservoir bottom, eyes wide, thanks to the membrane that protects them. "Wow. Okay, Nene really can do something neat," she thinks.

Which reminds Gunther that Nene was supposed to be swimming too. And Gunther knows to the ounce just how much his bladder can hold (he tested that, after all). So where is Nene?

Concerned, Gunther goes for the surface to look for Nene. When the surface breaks, she still doesn't feel like she needs to take too deep of a breath, so ... just breathes normally and looks around.

It's not hard to find the Kadie, as Nene is laughing like a maniac twenty feet off the ground, jumping from tree-limb to tree-limb and scrambling up and down the trunks.

"What are you doing?" Gunther calls out to Nene! "I thought you wanted to swim!"

"I can swim anytime, this is more fun!" Nene declares, mid-leap. But then the squirrel hits and pushes off from a trunk, sailing right out over the water. "HAHAHAHAH!" Nene cries. "I HAVE THE POWER!"

"Just ... be careful! You might hurt me!" Gunther calls after the sailing kadie. She watches for a few more seconds ... but then can't resit the lure of being able to swim down to the bottom again! The otter disappears beneath the surface again.

There's a SPLOOSH as Nene cannonballs into the lake, followed by lots of splashing and flailing! "I'm sinking! Ahhhh! Gunther, help me!"

"Aw crud!" Gunther thinks. The otter abruptly changes direction and rockets through the water towards the sinking kadie.

A few frantic minutes later, and Nene is on the floating walkway of the dam, chest heaving and eyes wide. "Dagh, Gunther.. you should never be in the water at all! I've never been so scared!"

"What? I can normally swim fine," Gunther claims, "We just ... deal with it. It's different than how you swim. By a lot. You're graceful; we're not. That's why I had to built the suit to help with that."

"I couldn't figure out what to do," Nene says. "I don't see how you can swim.. you get so.. so.. wet.."

"Well, yeah," Gunther agrees as he floats beside the walkway. "You have to inhale deep, and arch your back. Also your tail against your legs so you're bottom heavy and don't end up heads down in the water. And, uhm ... we can't hold our breaths like you do. Anyway, you also have to repetitively kick your legs to keep thrusting upward ... and you don't use your tail at all and ... well, see otters are just neater. You can swim and see places kadies can't."

"I like the trees," Nene says. "Being up so high and not caring and flying around and moving fast.. That's really fun! Nobody can catch you! Well, maybe another Kadie.. but no Skeek! No Lapi! No gypsy! Whoooosh!" Nene makes a hand-slicing-the-air gesture on the 'whoosh' part.

"Do you want to stay a kadie?" Gunther asks. "I mean, I know you can't and I can't stay like this ... but would you want to? Will you miss it?"

"I dunno," Nene admits. "It's fun because it's different, but if I stayed this way then it would just be normal after awhile, and I'd miss swimming and stuff. Wouldn't you?"

"Well ... yeah, I suppose," Gunther has to admit as she floats along on her back. "But now that I know what this is like ... I'm gonna miss it."

"Except you'd have to live on barges and deal with Emmett," Nene points out. "You probably wouldn't care for that part! Anyway, we should dry off and meet Parsley.."

"I can handle Emmett just fine!" Gunther claims as she practically slithers out of the water and onto the walkway. "But yeah, Parsley is probably waiting by now."

After drying off (which is very novel for Nene, while Gunther just has to give a little shake) the return to the cabin, to find Parsley waiting outside. "Wet and musky, just right," she says, and waits for Gunther to open the door.

"Wha?" Gunther has to ask as she goes to enter the overly complex lock combination. The last three parts turn out to be the harest, because, well, it just about requires a kadie tail to trigger. But, she solves that by instructing Nene how to kadie butt-shimmy just right. Click, the door opens.

"At least you're learning teamwork," Parsley says, and leads the way in. Upon seeing the mess, she shakes her head and goes about making the bed less chaotic. "Now, I don't have a lot of time since I have work to do," she explains. "But since Nene.. Gunther.. the Akwavi is in heat that means we can skip all the warm up stuff." She looks at Gunther in Nene's body, and says, "Now, get up on the bed.."

Gunther looks both nervous and confused. She's about to ask what to do if this doesn't work ... but ends up just sliding up on the bed. "Like this?" she asks on her back, with her hands on her tummy. The fingers tap nervously.

"That's fine," Parsley says.. and pulls off Gunther's shorts. Then, amazingly.. the Lapi sticks her finger.. well it's enough to make Gunther bark!

Webbed toes and fingers splay, the otter goes crosseyed, and boy does she bark! "I think my brain stopped!" Gunther thinks a few seconds later.

"Yeah, that's estrus for sure," Parsley notes, wiping off her finger. "Take your shirt off, while I deal with Nene," the doe says, turning her back to accost the Kadie's trousers next.

It takes Gunther a bit for her to get her shirt off. She's still recovering from that strange experience! Even her toes feel funny!

And then Nene is somewhat roughly pushed down on top of Gunther. "Hey, I don't.. uh.. uhhhhh..." Nene starts to protest, but then the Kadie's eyes cross and he makes the weirdest expression Gunther has ever seen, and he's practiced weird expressions whenever he sees his reflection! Parsley is down there doing something to Nene that Gunther can't see.

"This is really, really, scary," Gunther thinks as she sort of squirms about, trying to get a better look. "She better not be hurting Nene, er, me, er ... this is confusing!"

"Hold.. there," Parsley announces, then maneuvers Nene around a bit by his handle and.. connects the Kadie and Akwavi. "Okay, just do what feels good at this point," the doe says. "I'll be back to check on you in a few hours.."

The connection elicits another loud bark, then the otter wraps arms and legs around the kadie. At this point thought sort of stops, and this is probably a good thing for both involved. Of course this might also be the subject of many nightmares in the future, but right now, well, there is a lot of kissing and all manners of sounds!

Nene finds good use for grabby toes then, to keep them both from sliding off the bed. And being mindless probably helped a bit, since it wasn't very clear to Gunther just when he found himself back inside his own body (while still being inside Nene too, in a physical sense) and feeling very.. deflated. Even stranger was that Nene was different.. or rather, back to normal in a suddenly less squishy sense.

"That was the weirdest thing I have ever, ever seen or done," Gunther admits tiredly from where he lays. "What is a dream?" he has to ask, and even holds up one kadie hand to make sure it has no webbing.

There's also some slight disappointment, as it was neat to have webbed fingers, but Gunther is glad to be himself again. He even noses Nene's cheek. "So, uhm, er, does this kinda mean you are my girlfriend?" he asks rather lamely.

"I dunno, but.. maybe we better keep doing it to make sure," Nene says, and wiggles under Gunther. "Five or six more times should be safe!"

The wiggle makes Gunther frizz out; and his evil body decides to respond to it as well. "I, er, uhm," the kadie babbles. He can think of only one way to win this argument, he kisses her!
