Chapter 151. Abelha’s hesitancy

"So let me get this straight. You want to create this homunculus thing, get me to train it and then what?" Abelha asked, not quite following my explanation.

"It will retain everything you teach it, and then it can teach your guards," I answered for I think the fourth time.

"But it would have access to my hive. I told you only you and those I trust would." Abelha clarified.

"Yes, but this would be an extension of me, and anything you teach it can be duplicated in others I make," I said, hoping she would get it. "Like having one of your guards just being born with all your training already."

"But what if it goes rogue and destroys my hive?" Abelha waved her hands as if it were a simple request. To be fair to her, it was a good point, as without being able to show her one, it would be really tough.

"It won't," I said, hoping I sounded sure. "If you are that afraid, could we not put it in a separate part of your hive so that it can't reach you?"

Abelha crossed her arms under her chest. "But why are you saying that you shouldn't do it? The entire purpose of this was to get you to train them."

"But if we do it this way, you can have a permanent thing in your hive training your guards at all times and you will know exactly how skilled it is because you have personally trained it to your liking. The reason I want to try this out is that I can't spend all day every day training with you. There's just too much I need to get done."

This got her to stop the pouting she had started. It was a long shot, don't get me wrong, but still.

"Can you at least give it a chance? If you see it and still don't trust it, then I'll respect your wishes, and we'll do it the long way. I just want to see if this method could work." I added when it looked like she was about to revert. "Because if we don't you're just going to be stuck waiting around while I spread myself between everyone."

Abelha just shrugged. "That I can agree to."

"Agree to what?" Madu inserted herself into the conversation by wrapping up Abelha in her tail, being careful to avoid the stinger.

This did not go over well as the Queen Bee didn't struggle against the obtuse Gorgon. Instead, she threw herself to the side and into the water beside my egg.

They, however, didn't get close as I rushed to pull them out, only for Voras to beat me to it. The Arachnid woman looked like she was pulling in a trawl net as she hauled the two other women onto land.

Abelha was on her feet instantly. "What the hell? Why'd you do that?" She barked towards Madu, who just pouted in return. The Queen bee's wings were beating a mile a minute to get rid of the gathered water before she inspected them for damage.

"I was just saying hello. You didn't need to throw me into the water." Madu sassed back, bringing herself up on her tail until she was taller.

I made sure the egg was still situated, and the motion in the water hadn't disturbed it before turning back to them.

"Madu, maybe don't get so touchy with Abelha. She's not that type of person." I said as some kind of mediation. "You can't expect everyone to like it."

"Clovek, I doubt she would ever listen to you," Voras said with a sigh. "We have attempted on many occasions to get Madu to behave, and it never happens."

"Je me tiens bien… Parfois." (I do behave myself... Sometimes) Madu whistled.

Ignoring the Gorgon, Abelha turned to Voras with a question. "Clovek here has just asked me to train some homunculus thing instead of himself so that I can have it in my hive permanently to train my guards when they hatch. What's your take on that?"

Voras blinked as her mouth dropped open. It took her a second to organize her thoughts. "Well, I gave him a week to find a loophole, but it seems he only needed a day."

"What do you mean, find a loophole?" I asked, pulling Madu away from Abelha by her tail to make sure she didn't repeat her earlier actions.

"You have a very unique look on different things," Voras said, as if it answered my question. When she saw me looking blankly at her, she elaborated. "Most of us would take Abelha's request at face value and do exactly what she wants."

"Which you should, regardless." Madu piped up. "She's probably the most structurally similar to you out of all of us, Tilty aside, of course and learning how to handle yourself is never a bad thing. I know you have your transportation ability coming soon but still."

"Yes. While she is correct, you have this... How do I put it? Way of seeing other solutions." Voras nodded to herself. "And don't think it's just a deed owner thing. I've been one myself, and I didn't get half of the things you've got, and I had many more Livestock than you do now."

This caught Abelha's attention as the Queen Bee raised an eyebrow towards the Arachne.

"To answer your first question, Clovek, we all thought you would find a solution that didn't involve your full attention soon. Just not this soon," Voras finished.

"I mean, half of what I can do is only because the Deeds allow me to." I half joked. "Without them, I'm pretty sure I would be currently trying to get Zeldi from Tilty. Or in prison considering she is a Barons daughter, or was."

That was a little bit of a sobering thought as we all looked towards the Fawn working with the Dryads.

"I still don't understand why you keep her around? Yenem has said a fair amount about Zeldi's situation when I was living with them, and none of it sounded forgivable." Abelha spoke up as she jumped into the air so that she was out of Madu's range. "I get that she's better but. Why?"

"Neither do I, in all honesty." I sent back. "Zeldi originally wanted to abuse her when she first came to us, but she's taken a more accepting stance now. I would like to say I understood but I'm just glad she's at least trying to pull her own weight."

We all continued to watch the girls till the fields before Madu spoke up.

"So you spent a lot of time around the Centaurs, right?" She aimed her question towards Abelha.

"Yes. Well, only about two weeks, but a decent amount of time." The Queen Bee replied. "Why?"

"I want to know what it takes to get Zeldi's permission to get pregnant." Madu nodded while coiling herself around me. "Well, both Voras and I want to know, and since our whole food situation is properly solved we thought now might be a good time to start working on it." She turned to me partway through. "Thanks for the silver box thing, by the way. It is amazing how many different options there are, and I will put it to good use."

I nodded as she turned back to Abelha.

"We want to know what we have to do, as helping a certain Dragon lay her egg last night may have made us a little nesty."

"Nesty?" I questioned, not at all pulling away from the cold scales now coiling around my limbs. It didn't escape my notice that my hand had been trapped right over her crotch while enough of her length was hiding this from the others. She really didn't change even after being reprimanded. So, giving her what she wanted, I slipped my hand under her skirt and lightly began rubbing her folds.

"We want our own kids, Clovek," Madu said with an exasperated sigh that was so dramatic Voras had to hide her snickering. "While we get that Zeldi and Tarakona were first and they get first dibs on both of us, we still really want our OWN! Kids."

I slipped my finger into her pussy towards the end of her sentence, causing Madu to yell out in surprise, though she tried to hide it. Abelha cocked her head to the side but just shrugged it away while Voras gave the two of us a knowing look.

"Anyway." Madu tried to continue as I explored her depths. "We want to know what we need to do to gain Zeldi's favor. If you have any ideas, Abelha." My Gorgon, bit her lip hard as her body clenched down on my probing.

Abelha just shrugged. "Can't help you there. I didn't care much about Centaur culture and didn't ask anything. They spent more time trying to find out all they could about Livestock because of their daughter. I offered what I knew for accommodation."

"Maybe Clovek could give us some better advice, Madu?" Voras said through a smile.

"I mean, Zeldi seems pretty baby hungry herself. I'm sure you could just offer to make sure her child has company, and she will jump at the opportunity. It's what Tarakona did." I offered scratching that hard spot in her pussy as I spoke.

"A good IDEA!" Madu tried to say as I sunk a second finger in.

"A wonderful idea." Voras nodded along, trying to hide her amusement.

Abelha still had no idea what was happening.

"We'll go do that right now." Madu hissed out as she tried to hide a moan that would have given away what I was doing, even though it wasn't hard to figure out.She also made no motion to actually move away.

"Of course. You're making such good progress." I taunted, adding my thumb onto her clit. I didn't need sight to know she was dripping.

Madu herself didn't offer a word as she bit down on my shoulder as if that silenced the moan she let out.

"What's happening?" Abelha asked, watching with her head to the side and her antenna bobbing. "Is Madu sick? Wait, that shouldn't be possible on the farm."

"Madu is reaping the rewards of her actions," Voras answered helpfully. "Think of it as your revenge for the forced cuddles."

"Tu aimes mon... (You like my...) Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Madu cried out as she found her peak even as she fought against it.

"And there it is." Voras tutted. "You really shouldn't test Clovek. You know he will follow through."

[Follow through with what?]

Tarakona joined us with Zeldi by her side. Both had the grins of someone who knew exactly what was going on.
