Allison stirred in the largely shady patch of her nest, the ears atop her head twitched, taking in the peaceful ambience. She stretched herself out, uncurling from her sleeping position and delighting in the softness of the bedding and the fading warmth of the few beams if the fading twilight poked through the bushy covering, hiding her from the world. She trilled and adjusted her position, rolling over to her other side causing the bell on her collar to jingle lightly. Curling back up again and covering herself with her tail Allison began to doze back off. Mistress would get her when it was time, she felt Dahlia's presence nearby. For now, she could relax in her shadows, hidden from all but her owner.

It had been 9 weeks since she had signed her independence away and 8 weeks since her implant. Her other modifications took place in the following weeks. Allison had spent a few days prior to the implant with Dahlia teasing out every hidden desire with the help of plenty of Xenodrugs and selecting body mods. It had taken a bit to get used to being covered in silky black fur everywhere below the chin, as well as the new arms- much more animalistic, more like paws than hands and with bright pink paw pads. The hardest part to adjust to, however, was the new legs. Digitigrade, they forced her to relearn how to walk. Of course once she had she was delighted by the feel of them, the paws had the hefty feel of her old boots but the added bonus of being part of her. The pads on them allowed her to be silent even if she felt like stomping around. Currently, she was naked outside of a collar dotted with Dahlia's sunset colored blooms. A large silver bell hung off it, atop a nametag.

Allison stirred again, she was feeling... Strangely clear headed? There was definitely still a soupy feel to her thoughts, though it was far lighter than the previous weeks. She tested her paws- there was a bit of a delay in her coordination but overall her limbs felt more responsive than the previous days. Additionally, it seemed she could actually string thoughts together about something other than how wonderful Dahlia was, slowly sure, but cognizi- cogni- thinking big thoughts was hers again! Mostly at least. She rolled over onto her belly and crawled through an opening in the large shrub that formed her best's canopy. Exiting into the main twilight jungle of the hab Allison stood up and stretched, a wonderful smell wafted across her. Mistress was making breakfast! A mischievous grin crept across her face as she had an idea and dropped into a crouch.

She held her bell with one hand to help stabilize it as she snuck between the shadows of the various plants, avoiding the places lit by bioluminescent ones. A misplaced step caused her to crush a dried out leaf and Allison paused for a moment. Hopefully the light sounds of the creek and garden insects would cover any small mistakes. The noise from the kitchen continued its rhythm, Dahlia either hadn't noticed or was at least playing along. Either was fine with kitten. With only a meter or so between her and the doorway she spotted her quarry- Ahh Mistress was largely unspooled, vines all over the kitchen pulling and putting away various ingredients and cooking utensils. Maybe she had got the drop on her? Her tail flicked back and forth as she lowered to all fours and prepared to launch herself into the center of the mass. She pounced- her bell jingled.

A flurry of vines wrapped her up before she even reached her target, "Goodness, hardly even two hours off the Class-Js and you are already up to mischief." Allison mewled excitedly as she was bundled up before being brought into her Owner's arms. Dahlia prodded the bell on her collar, causing it to jingle slightly, "Looks like this was a good idea in the end, hmm?"

Allison nodded, "Yes Mistress." She had gotten much better at not making it jingle when she wanted! A couple more weeks of practice and she'd be able to sneak up on her owner for a surprise cuddle for sure~

Dahlia interrupted her thoughts with a few belly rubs followed by a light scratch on her head, "You know I could hypnotize you so you would be deaf to the sound." Ah. Dahlia being in her head now was something she was still adjusting to. Never being truly apart from her beloved owner was heaven but sometimes the rest of the reality of it slipped her mind. A vine traced along the scar where the implant had been placed, causing the pet's vision to fill with stars. "Then again a bit of mischief here and there can be quite fun, no?"

Allison moaned enthusiastically, her head swirling, keeping her from a more proper response. A bit of mischief kept things interesting after all! Besides, even if she did overstep, giving Mistress a reason to punish her was its own reward. It's not like Dahlia would let her take anything too far with the implant anyways. "Ahhh, today is a special day kitten, I prepared a few things to celebrate. I know you will love the surprises I have in store."

Dahlia carried her over to the table and sat her up in her chair, leaving a few vines with her to keep her occupied. Allison leaned into a vine studded with dull thorns as it scratched her head, "What makes it special Mistress?"

"You," Dahlia spoke without turning, using one the vines she left with her to poke her nose, "Have fully recovered from the implant as well as your body modifications. As such you no longer need to be kept sedated on Class Js, and can be relatively lucid again." Dahlia finished up, transferring the food to a plate. Picking it up, she carried it over to the table and continued, "Like I mentioned, I have planned a few things, but they are to be a surprise."

Dahlia set the plate down and sat down herself, oh she made pancakes today! She began to cut them up as Allison pouted, "Awww, not even a little hint Mistress? Please?" A tap on her jaw signified the start of the feeding process.

"Hmm, a hint?" Dahlia emitted a long, low, rumble, "I suppose such an adorable floret could get a hint." She paused again, continuing to feed Allison as she formulated a hint good enough that she might figure it out but not so good it was obvious. "For the first surprise, you can expect a visitor who has been aching to see you again. For the second surprise, it's the fulfillment of a wish you once expressed to me, before you were properly mine. For the final surprise, I used a few as ingredients in this afternoon's Breakfast."

Allison pondered over the given clues as Dahlia continued to feed her. A visitor could be anyone, though it was likely one of the few people she met on Eris-Minor with Dahlia or Mx Syringa. Maybe Mesua and Chris? Oh she hadn't seen Syringa in a lucid state for ages either! Maybe it was even someone from her past in the military? Hmm. Not much to divine from that clue. It could be anyone really. The second clue wasn't much better, a lot of that time seemed hazy, and Allison recalled saying all manner of things. The last clue was the most tantalizing however- she used a few in the breakfast? That definitely would give it away if she could remember how you made pancakes. She was certain she made pancakes before, but everytime she tried to grasp the information it vanished from her grasp like smoke. Eventually, Allison gave up, shaking her head, "Sorry Mistress, I got nothin'."

"That's okay kitten, you just focus on enjoying them okay?" Dahlia gave her a scratch behind her ears as she deposited another delectable bite of the pancakes, "All done!" A vine holding a handkerchief dabbed at the small bits of food that had fallen on Allison's face. Dahlia then scooped her up into her arms and doted on her with a series of pets as she carried her back into the living area. Sitting herself in a clearing, with Allison in her lap, she started grooming her hair and fur.

Allison purred, a thing she could actually do now thanks to the body modifications. The grooming didn't feel as intensely mind melting as when she had been on the mix of class-J and class-M xenodrugs Dahlia kept her on to heal but it still made her vision dance and filled her with ecstasy. There were no words spoken for ten, maybe twenty minutes, just her Mistress' biorhythm- her purring a reflection and complement of it. The brushing stopped and Dahlia dressed her in one of her companion dresses and scooped her up, carrying her back into the living area. Setting her on what seemed to be a small hill, topped with the same soft material as her nest bedding. It was just high enough to offer a good view of most of the Jungle garden. After another all too brief petting session Dahlia spoke again, "I'm going to go make sure everything is in order for today, I'll be in my room for a little while. Be a good girl and behave yourself okay?"

Allison nodded enthusiastically, making affirmative vocalizations, and her Mistress hummed happily, "Ahh, what a lovely and obedient pet you are. It should only be a few minutes." With that, Dahlia deposited Allison's tablet into her hands and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead before giving her a few more pets. With the last few strokes, she moved into the Alcove in the far back of her Hab that was her room.

Allison shifted around on the mound, digging herself into the softness and adjusting for a few moments until she found a divinely comfortable spot. Opening the tablet, she tried to recall when the last time she actually used it was. It had to be before the implant right? When she was showing Mistress all the music she liked? Oh, she still had her old handle! Goodness, it felt rather embarrassing to read it, and yet a tad nostalgic. Regardless, she couldn't help but feel such an... Independent sounding name was Ill suited for a pet like her. She navigated to change it, deleted her current handle before stalling- what to choose? She could ask Mistress for a new handle but that hardly felt worth disturbing her while she tried to finalize a special day for her benefit. Oh, suddenly inspiration dawned on her, "TwilightsShadow". Allison hummed happily, pleased with her choice. Mistress would surely love it too.

She opened the chat application and sent her owner a flood of a few different heart emojis, mostly to show Dahlia her new handle. Partly because even just being a room away had her yearning for her Mistress' presence. Backing out of that conversation, she navigated to the music Mistress had approved. They spent much of week leading up to her implant working through the catalogue Allison had built over the years. She managed to keep most of the songs that meant a lot to her, though there was a small number of them she wasn't supposed to listen to without asking Mistress and having her present, and a few that Mistress said were too attached to her trauma or something. Still, it was a fairly impressive library, and with all the music from every other sophont species in the compact it was hard to say she really missed it.

She selected a song and as the discordant guitars began to whine, she considered her options. It occurred to her that She never did log back into the New Sophont Support Group chat after getting hit with the temp ban. Dahlia had probably been in some degree of contact with Miss Tarax, the Affini admin of the server, but she should probably poke her head in at least one more time and thank them for pushing her. Allison made a few brief motions and taps on the pad-

[FramePerfect]: Oh hey look who's back. Heard you didn't even remain independent 48h after getting temp banned lol.

Allison's cheeks flushed a bit at the teasing, she started typing and restarting her response as more responses came in.

[VerdantTrellis]: It is very nice to see you back here Allison. Apologies, but Your Mistress informed me you decided to pursue domestication and I felt it was necessary to relay that information here considering you'd be incapacitated for a while and may not return.

[TempoUp]: who's this?

[VelvetRabbit]: I was working through some stuff and I mayyy have been wrong about the Affini >.>

The burning in her cheeks melted into a warm fuzzy feeling, everyone remembered and missed her? It had been months and she only ever logged in, like, three times at best.

[TwilightsShadow]: And yeah I became her floret like twenty something hours after. Haven't really been sober enough to use a pad since.

[VerdantTrellis]: Behave yourself now dear

[3000BeesInAJar]: yayyy I felt like you'd figure it out sooner rather than later!

[CollaredKitten]: actually didn't I call sub 72h? I'm pretty sure I won the predictions, even tho I still overshot it

That sounded... Vaguely familiar. Allison couldn't imagine she would have lasted the night with Dahlia intending on breaking her even if she did beat her to the punch in the end.

[FramePerfect]: VerdantTrellis is an Affini. There's a few independents that are on sometimes.

[CollaredKitten]: Mistress says it has something to do with self selection and the types of sophonts that need an excuse to stay independent.

Allison giggled to herself, knowing the Affini it was likely a matter of time before they came around. They were very good at worming past even the toughest personal walls. A vine massaged the back of her neck, causing her to melt a little, "What's so funny kitten?"

Allison gestured to the pad, "Uhm, I was just poking my nose back into the chatroom and such. Seems like everyone from then is domesticated now, there was a new person though who was hoping for some advice to um." She blushed as she thought about the next words out of her mouth, "Stay independent." What a silly notion.

Dahlia scooped her up and smugly smiled down at her, "Oh? And what would my cute little pet know about being independent?"

Allison blushed and fidgeted at the hem of her dress- a vine quickly filled her hand for her to play with, "Not much Miss, I just wished them the best working it out. I'm sure they'll figure out that independence is overrated eventually." She ran her thumb over the roughly textured part a few times before adding, "Are we ready?"

Dahlia examined her for a moment, "That depends Kitten, are you ready for the first surprise?"

"Yes Mistress!" Allison nodded, beaming up at her Affini.

"Wonderful." Dahlia produced a lacey leash that matched Allison's collar from somewhere within her and fixed it to the ring. She then carried her over to the Hab's exit before setting her down. "We'll be going for a short walk now dearest. If you start to feel tired however I will of course carry you, but I would like you to get some exercise."

Allison cocked her head, "Is the surprise a walk?"

Dahlia chuckled, petting her. She leaned into her owner's attentions as she answered, "No kitten, but you may notice it during. The walk is to arrive at the location where the second surprise is waiting." Dahlia made a slight motion and the Hab's door opened, Dahlia stepping through.

Allison obediently followed, pondering what the suprise could possibly be. She blinked, stepping out of the hab, it was brighter than the hab but not terribly so. The local sun must be setting. She looked around curiously, strange, the streets looked really different. She couldn't spot any of Eris-Minor's landmarks either. There seemed to be a good number of Affini and Florets of all kinds about too. She hadn't seen so many people since before Terra fell. A light tug in her leash reminded her to walk, "It's only a few blocks but we should start moving my little Allison. There are other activities on the docket after all." Dahlia waited for her to catch up to her side and the pair continued.

Allison continued to look around as they walked, Dahlia correcting her bearing, keeping her path clear and propping her up when she tottered. All the while she tried to figure out where in the city she was. However, No matter how she rotated her mental map of Eris-Minor's port city she just couldn't place it. It had been a few months, sure, but the Affini wouldn't have totally replaced every building right? They had been persevering a few of the important landmarks at least. Her curiosity bested her, "Uhm, Mistress?"

They stopped moving as Dahlia ran the hand that wasn't holding her leash along the side of her head. The sensation almost made Allison forget her question as she whimpered in pleasure. "Yes dear?"

"I-uh- that is-" Allison felt the pieces lazily click together but the words were still a struggle to pin down, "Where are we Mistress? I don't recognize this part of the city, none of the streets are right, all the landmarks are gone too?"

Dahlia scratched her at that spot at the base of her new ears, causing Allison to draw a staggered breath as her eyes fluttered. "Very observant kitten, that would be the first surprise. We are no longer on Eris-Minor."

Oh? OH! She was finally off that rock! A happiness started to bloom within her chest, those five years had been... Had... Been? Strange. She couldn't actually recall much about them, besides that they were empty and largely unfulfilling. The important thing is it was over and she was with her Mistress! There was still one question nibbling at her however, "Where are we then?"

"This" Dahlia made a flourishing motion to their surroundings, "is the Affini vessel Datura. It is one of our ships with a day/night cycle in the commons in this sector. I had the hab moved aboard while you were still recovering."

Allison knew the Affini had impressive ships when she saw them arrive on Eris-Minor, but seeing the grandiose interior in person was another thing. She made an impressed 'oo'ing sound, taking in her surroundings again with new context.

Dahlia smiled down at her, cupping get face in one hand and stroking her cheek with a thumb, "I'm happy that you are enjoying the change in surroundings, and I promise you will have plenty of time to become intimately familiar with everything onboard, but we still have a bit more distance to go." Allison nodded, though it was more like she was nuzzling into her Mistress' hand. The pair continued on, Allison trying to take in as much of her new home as possible. Suddenly she realized the habs and business had faded away and she stood in a lightly forested park. Not quite the jungle garden of her Mistress' hab there was far more space between the greenery for Affini and their pets to meet and play.

Across the way, on a bench next to an Affini she didn't recognize, was Mx Syringa. The other Affini was odd, not consisting solely of the plant matter and soft bark but cables and wiring as well. In it's lap was some kind of robot, though it looked Terran in nature it was as though someone had blended a porcelain doll with the turn of the millennium concept of what an autonomous machine would look like. Noticing Dahlia and Allison, Xe waved, and the Affini next to xem waved a beat after, deniably preoccupied with doting on the machine in it's lap.

Allison started to fidget and a specialized vine Dahlia had grafted filled her hand. It had rough textures as well several semi-sharp thorns for her to rub her thumb along. There were even several bits she could apply varying levels of tension to, they spent a full afternoon working out an alternative to her knife. Allison didn't recognize the terran, she hadn't met anyone since becoming a floret but they appeared to be a fellow pet and not remotely lucid. A calm sensation washed over her, "Come now Kitten, let's go say hi." Dahlia cooed, picking her up and carrying her over.

Lily greeted them first, "Allison! It is nice to see you fairly lucid again." Xe beamed, xer flowers seeming to bloom more somehow as a few vines twisted in the grass below. "Though the videos Dahlia has been sharing with me have been absolutely-" A glare from Dahlia had xer swap the subject, "regardless, I am quite happy you were able to open yourself to being a floret. You seem much happier." Allison blushed, and squirmed into her Mistress' caress.

"As am I, though we've yet to meet in this capacity until now." The other Affini spoke, smiling softly, "Rubia Tarax, 7th Bloom, She/Her. Though you know me by my username, VerdantTrellis." Allison's cheeks went from moderately flushed to crimson as recognition fell on her. This was the Affini that sold helped her out and conspired with Dahlia to get her domesticated! Actually, Mx Syringa did too now that she thought about it. "And this cutie," Rubia continued, "Is Alex Tarax, second floret, though you might know them as FramePerfect." Wait, what?

"Huh?!" They teased her relentlessly and they were a floret the whole time?! At least the response time finally made sense, they were a robot and most certainly digitized!

Rubia cooed at the Floret in her lap, it's servos twitching, "Yes, they are a bit on the mischievous side, and can be a bit blunt, but I promise you they only wanted you to come to terms with yourself." Allison puffed out her cheeks in indignation. Unbelievable, even the fellow pet had been in on it! "They would say hi, but speaking privileges are currently revoked as they were being a bit too uppity while getting ready." Alex made a whirring beeping noise in response.

Allison puffed her cheeks out in annoyance, everyone here had a direct hand, or rather, vine in her accepting domestication. That was... actually kinda nice of them? She blinked a few times as she mentally rotated the strange thought. They knew she would be better as floret, but that she couldn't accept it and helped her. Ohh, so this was the second surprise. Meeting the Affini that helped her find her current happiness. "Ah, uhm," Allison wanted to thank them, but was once again struggling to form the words.

"Is my kitten having trouble speaking again?" Dahlia teased, a few of the vines cradling her rubbing along her back. Allison gasped as her vision started to grow fuzzy, barely managing to nod as she writhed against them to get as much of the pleasure as possible. "I believe Allison would like to thank both of you for helping her realize that the best place for her was in my vines, and even though I'm sure you were glad to do so, she'd like to apologize for any problems she caused." Aaa, Mistress knew exactly what to say, as usual.

Lily spoke up first, moving closer and petting Allison, "It was no trouble at little one. We know sometimes cuties like you just need a little help before you can accept that you were meant to be pets." The attention of her Affini was delightful and fairly distracting but the attentions of two Affini left very few places unstimulated and even less room for thought.

Vines massaged her body while others scratched along her scalp and fur. They teased along the sensitive places where the fur was thin and skin beneath was comparatively exposed. One went to the base of her ears and- bliss took her as needy, desperate mewls filled the air. There was a small tinge of embarrassment as she delighted in the attention but it was quickly lost in the pleasure. Lily hummed, breaking off the all too brief petting session, "It really is nice to see you enjoying yourself kitten."

"Ah, she is quite adorable, if I didn't have my own little one with me..." Rubia trailed, her vines busy with the Floret in her arms, but her eyes focused on Allison. "Maybe we could arrange a more proper playdate, I'm sure Alex would enjoy getting to know you properly. They can come off a little strong online, but they are quite timid in person, isn't that right petal?" More beeps and a clicking-whirring sounds came from somewhere within Rubia's mass.

"Of course, however, it's about time I get my little kitten home, I still have one final suprise for her and she's going to need all her energy." Dahlia said as she scooped up Allison into her arms, causing her heart to flutter and her mind to race.

"Oh yes," Lily laughed, "I'm sure she will love every second though."

"Oh my, Please feel free to share any pictures or recordings you take, I am quite interested in little Allison and even more so in her-" she paused for a moment, searching for the right words to use without giving away the game, "reaction I suppose. Oh, and do take care." Rubia added.

The trip home was much faster, even travelling at what was for her a leisurely pace Dahlia moved far quicker carrying her than she did when she was walking Allison. Shortly, the two found themselves back at their Hab. Dahlia signaled the door open, "Are you ready for the final surprise kitten?"

Allison wriggled in her owner's vines, a mix of excitement and curiosity as she tried to sit up and see if she could piece whatever it was together. "Yes Mistress!" Scanning the small jungle garden they called home she found... everything just as they left it? Nothing was presenting itself as it did with the other surprises at least. It had something to do with pancakes didn't it? Allison cocked her head to one side, "Mistress, what is the last surprise? I don't think I've figured it out yet."

Dahlia set her down on a pile of soft bark peelings and grasses on the far side of the hab, a few vines scratching along under her chin, "That's because I've yet to reveal it kitten. I think it would be best if we played a little game," Allison felt everything grow warm and fuzzy, a need building up in her loins, "The goal will be to make it across the Hab without me catching you." The heat was continuing to build, threatening to become unbearable, her whole body ached for touch as she shivered a bit. "I'm going to give you a fifteen second headstart, okay kitten?" Allison panted, a few moments passing as the words sunk in through the thickening carpet of fog and need in her, she nodded. Dahlia gave her a few scritches, blanking her mind for a few moments. "Time starts now, kitten."

Everything snapped back to focus, however a burning desire to be to touched remained. Allison wanted little more than to throw herself into her Mistress' vines- but it seemed her Mistress had already vanished into the shadows. Oh, time was probably ticking then wasn't it? Scrambling to her feet she lowered into a crouch and stepped into the shadowy brush. The leaves and sticks of it brushed against her too sensitive skin and made her gasp and whimper as she pressed through to her goal, causing her to bite back a gasp of pleasure. She steeled herself, Mistress wanted a game and though she weighted it heavily in her favor, enough so that Allison was sure actually winning was out of the question, she was going to do her best to give her a game. That's what a good pet would do, after all.

She had gotten just a bit of distance from her starting point when she heard a rustling all around her- the hunt was on. Allison needed a plan, cutting directly towards the goal would certainly be an instant loss. A more circuitous route started to form in her mind, sticking to parts where the foliage was densest. Allison lowered to all fours and cautiously crawled through the brush, moving from one shady plant to another. All the while the branches digging into her fur sent shivers of pleasure down her spine. She was making progress, but she couldn't shake the sense that it felt a bit off. A little too easy. Maybe Dahlia had intended for her to be able to win after all? That thought was interrupted as she paused within an alien fern, the small brook that divided their Hab lay before her, and obstructed her from the goal.

Crossing it was no issue, it was narrow enough to easily step over and at best knee deep. The real issue was that the small waterfront plants that lined it for about meter on each side offered nothing for cover. Allison peered up and down the bank, knowing that there was nothing to find. If Dahlia was watching such a choke point, there was no avoiding detection. The gears in her head kept turning, the goal was to avoid capture- she couldn't progress further with stealth but maybe she was fast enough to cover the rest with speed? A grin spread across her face as her resolve in her admittedly awful plan solidified and her muscles tensed, ready to spring into action.

Allison leapt out from her hiding place, bolting across the river and into the other half of the hab. She heard the plants being disturbed behind her, just as she suspected, Mistress was merely waiting for her to reveal herself. She tried to cut as straight a path as possible to her destination- barely cutting around various garden plants. Allison could feel her owner's vines closing on her but she could see the door to the kitchen, she was almost there, she was going to make it, she was- all momentum was lost as she ran into something sticky. Ropes of the substance stuck to her body and refused to relent as she attempted to pull away. A voice dripping with predatory intent sent a shiver down her spine, "My, my, seems like I win. You do look like quite the treat, tangled up in my web like that."

Allison struggled briefly, only succeeding in growing more stuck. What was worse was that heat was building again and it was becoming impossible to think about anything besides her Mistress and how needy she was feeling. A vine turned her to face her captor- Dahlia had shifted her appearance. She looked only vaguely humanoid from the torso up, the lower half of her body twisted into the appearance of a spider and underneath it- The heat intensified a hundred fold as she realized what the final surprise was.

"You know I got quite the reaction when I told them that I wanted this graft modified for use with a Terran, though I suppose I got a bit carried away with getting into the role." Dahlia purred, a clawed hand tracing the object of Allison's attention. There, where the base of where the torso met spider base, was a drooling semi+translucent shaft, with dozens and dozens of eggs silhouetted by the bioluminescence of her Mistress and the surrounding plants.

"P-please?" Allison panted, eyes transfixed, her mind swimming in chemical bliss.

Dahlia chuckled, God what a wonderful sound, "Oh you are a treat, begging before I even ask." Dahlia collected a bit of the fluid dripping from the ovipositor on her thumb and inserted it in Allison's mouth, pinning her tongue. It tasted sweet and the fog in her head intensified, eliminating everything but her Mistress. Dahlia tilted her pet's face to meet her gaze- they could feel her pride, her love, her complete dominance over her radiating throughout every inch of flesh. "What a good pet." Allison felt something slimey flop against her belly, but was too lost in her Mistress' eyes and praise to process it. Where the fluid soaked in burned hotter with desire. "Such a good pet deserves a treat." Yes! yes yes yes yes yes

The ovipositor dragged itself down off her stomach until the tip of it was at her entrance. Anticipation swelled for a moment as vines wrapped around her limbs, supporting the already ensared Allison. Dahlia pressed it in, slowly, as Allison moaned best as she could with her mouth filled. "I hope my little kitten is ready for my brood." Allison could only redouble her efforts to moan and mewl for her Mistress, mind too far gone for anything.

She felt each individual egg fill her as several dozen were rapidly deposited. She orgasmed again and again, wracked with pleasure as she vocalized her climax, her vision going black and filling with stars and swirls of every color. Full. So full. Not just with brood but her Mistress' love. Allison panted, passing out, "I love you, I love you."

Dahlia cooed as removed herself and stroked their face with a vine, "I love you too, my little kitten." Darkness took her.

-_-_-_-

Dahlia Tagetes, Fourth Bloom hummed happily as she carried her pet back to their bed and gingerly set them down, taking care to make sure they were in a good position to recover. The "eggs" would harmlessly dissolve over the course of a few hours and modifications had been done to minimize any physical toll but she still wished to have her rest, just to be safe.

Pulling out her tablet she sent a recording of the events from several angles and a few particularly choice pictures she had made from them to a slew of her friends and acquaintances. She could almost feel the jealousy from the ones without a floret yet and let herself bask in it briefly. Rubia and Lily were gushing about how adorable and well trained her pet was as she returned the tablet to it's place in her vines.

Gazing down at the peaceful snoozing turn Dahlia wondered how she had gone so long without a floret of her own she would never know. Though on another vine, she was quite glad to have such an adorable pet as her first. How she was lucky enough to have a floret so ready to be hers, so desperate to be owned, deliver themself to her directly she would never know. She did, however, know that she would thank the Everbloom for every day they would get to share.
