It was actually better that way for Mephiles as there was a place he wanted to visit. He made sure to stop at his dragon-hybrid pet nest, checking on her small ones. She got three of them and they were full of energy. He was thinking it will take one to his garden later, letting twins Amée and Guarin to learn some responsibility. He, after all, heard many children are wishing for a pet.

Then he continued until he reached a certain shop. He still hasn't visited it with Galahad as he thought it may make him nervous and uncomfortable. So he checked it beforehand on his own, hiding his identity and presenting himself like normal rich and a bit perverted person.

"Welcome, mister," bowed a lynx woman named Niaria. "I have made sure to keep the best items for you."

"I'm glad to hear that," Mephiles arrived there before the opening to make sure no annoying person would be in his way. She guided him to the back part of the main shop, where she kept the items.

Mephiles actually decided to check the store a little. He liked the goods there, imagining his lover and him using them. 'I must miss him, I think I hear him.'

"Uaaaghh!! Please, don't kill me!" a silver hedgehog in black leather clothes ran from a narrow corridor with a furious yellow cat right at his tail.

"Get back here!!" she drove him into the corner, where he curled up once she started to hit him with a baton... that was actually soft one. "How can you! How can you be soo~~...!! UGH!!" she was fuming, red in face.

"Honey!" barked her employer. "What's the meaning of this?" She quickly bowed to Mephiles. "My apologies, I'll make sure she will properly apologize as well." She grabbed her employee by the neck, dragging her away.

"Galahad?" gasped Mephiles recognizing his lover.

"M-Mephy?!" he jumped at his feet, pressing against the wall.

"What are you doing here?" they asked in unison while both cat women were puzzled.

"You know this dominant alpha male?" asked Honey without thinking.

"Yes, he is my lover... and alpha?" answered with confused question Mephiles.

The young psychic was blushing like crazy and when Mephiles chuckled he got angry. "You jerk!!" he tossed one dress hanging on the wall with his power and covered dark hedgehog's head with it, preventing him to see a thing. "This is already enough embarrassing as it is!"

"But... But..." Mephiles peeked out. "You are such cutie." The dress was given to Niaria. "But why are you here? I thought you were going for some test?"

Galahad sighed. "Yes, I just finished my test here to work as... um... relaxation instructor," he was playing with his fingers making him utterly adorable. Mephiles tried to say something, but Galahad interrupted him: "I know! I'm terrible! I just... I just wanted for you to be happy! I know I can't be dominant! But I still wanted to try!"

He glanced at the women. "And since I met Ma'am Niaria, I thought she may be able to help me. She offered me a job as... an instructor and Honey was my examiner, but I see I must have failed."

"Failed?!" barked Honey bristling making the silver man hide behind Mephiles. "You were... you were... fantastic!!" her face was shining. "I was shivering and trembling. I wasn't' able to think about anything else then where you will touch me next, how can I please you!" Then she turned dark. "But why do you have to turn to such wuss when you leave the playroom!" She started to hiss. "It ticked me so much!!"

"I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize!" her body was fidgeting as she was holding her anger inside.

"Um, sir, excuse me for asking," carefully started Niaria, "but do you happen to be perhaps the Crystallian sir Galahad has spoken about?"

Honey froze upon hearing it. What if she offended the V.I.P. of this shop? Mephiles instead of an answer showed his true form earning a loud gasp and dropping jaw from Honey and wider eyes from Niaria. She was obviously more mature and experienced making her less obvious to big shocks.

"By the way," noted Mephiles. "I've got the feeling you got the job here."

Galahad glanced at the lynx woman, who nodded. "I trust Honey's judgment."

"That means..." The Crystallian looked at his lower, hugging him below the knees, lifting him up.

"Kyah!" he shrieked as he was surprised grabbing his lover's shoulders and looking down.

"I'll be your first. Please, be gentle with me." He chuckled.

Galahad slightly averted his eyes. "I don't know... I've got the feeling you have been one naughty hedgehog." He smirked.

Mephiles slightly lidded his eyes. "Then a punishment is in the order." He headed to the playroom area and Galahad straightened a bit.

"Ouch!" he yelled as his head met the door-frame earning from his partner a laughter.
