You were gonna have to make it up to your wives, and thought about getting some rings for them.
"Gerty, you're in charge of the defenses here." You instructed your Paladin whore. "You have permission to lead the clankers in case someone attacks any property of mine."
"Yes, Master!" She saluted. If there was one thing you appreciated it was that she followed your orders without question. She'd soon set up the clankers to keep watch until tomorrow morning. You took a radio with you, just in case you needed to communicate with them urgently.
The dinner went on without much further question. After that you check up on each of your wives before leaving, most them had fallen asleep or wanted to go to sleep soon. The demands of the day when it came to finish working on the ship were finally catching up to you all. You hoped Ayane wasn't as tired as they were, you had plans for her tonight.
Leaving the flying ferry, the kitsune household is in view. You're all alone this time. Well, almost all alone.
"Fool that you are, the umbral depths of the night shall amplify my arcane might!" A little ghost said from her prison. She had been entertaining you for the past half hour. "Not even the guise of your strength shall stop Yumi's great sorcery."
"Cease your complaints and rejoice," You played along. "For I have chosen to bring you out of the sacred confines of my pocket, the opportunity to see the realm of wonders for yourself is before you."
"Nay, this shimmering prison of crystal renders such chance but a shadow, a fleeting illusion cast by your whim."
"I could always put you back in my pocket." You teased.
"I'm good." She responds without hesitation. Both of you fall into a peaceful silence.
From above you could see how active the city was at night. Street lights, industrial plants, and apartment windows illuminating the many gears and giant areas of the city. There wasn't enough light pollution to stop the stars from shining, mixing them made a very nice combination.
"Beautiful..." the ghostgirl said what you were thinking. "Verily, my presence may smother like a dense fog of shadows, yet know this--it is in the depths of my darkened heart that I cherish your willingness to allow my essence to linger in this realm."
"You are most welcome, spirit and seeker of warmth." You said, not wanting to ruin the small moment, tempting as it was to make fun of her.
"May the whispers of luck guide your steps, Savant!" She said in boastful gratitude, soon going back to sleep in the crystal again.
"Thank you, Yumi." Luck was something you and Ayane both were gonna need.
