Part 12

“Do you want to mate with me?” Talvol asked Reggie, who blushed almost purple in the firelight in embarrassment, which was aggravated by his sisters and Karzog breaking out laughing.

“Uh, I’ve heard that Sylvan females gain status amongst themselves by being mated by males of high status.” Reggie stammered. “I assume that’s why you’re asking me? Since we’ve assumed control here, I’m the highest status male?”

“That’s right.” Talvol smiled. “And males gain status from mating more females than the other males. We don’t mind that if the male has really high status like you, so if it’ll help convince you, you can have all three of us.”

“Sure.” Meblit agreed. “It’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

“We don’t mind that you’re small or anything.” Lutimik added. “You’re kind of cute in a really weird way.”

Valentia, Helemia, and Karzog had been having trouble controlling their laughter enough to follow what was being said, and with the last comment they lost in completely. The girls rolled around on the sand, braying and squealing with hysterical mirth, and Karzog had to tell those fighting in the ring to pause until he could spare them some attention again. The Sylvan around them who were following their conversation chuckled a bit at Reggie’s embarrassment, but they didn’t really know why he was embarrassed, or what the three found so hilariously funny.

Reggie was so mortified that he covered his face with both hands until he had a grip on himself again. “Look. I’m flattered by your offer, but I’m not going to be mating with you or with anyone else!”

“Why not?” Meblit inquired. “We figured we had a better chance with you since we’re smaller than the older girls.”

“Because I just turned six years old, that’s why!” Reggie declared in exasperation. “I’m not interested in that kind of thing yet, and I’m not going to be mating with anyone for at least ten years!”
