Chapter 349 Kinkcave?
"Wouldn\'t that make the bedroom too small?" Fay protested, squinting her eyes as she tried to layer her imagination of how the place would look like in the future over the layer of what she could actually see.
"I mean…" Kash hesitated for a second before turning to the side to give first Fay and then me a peculiar look. "If you need a bedroom mostly to sleep in it, it should be more than within comfortable bounds. But if you want to turn your bedroom into a kinkcave…"
Turning her eyes to the side, Kash refused to look at us as she left her suggestion to hang in the air.
"Kinkcave?" Fay asked, giving me a confused look.
"Haaa…." I let out a long sigh before giving Kash a disciplinary glance.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Dear?" Fay pressed, even going as far as to take a step closer, wrap her hands around my arm, and pull it down as if to force my head to lean along and reveal my face before her eyes.
"What she means is…" I hesitated for a second, trying to buy myself some time to figure out the best way to approach this topic.
After all, if I were to step carelessly here, who knew what kind of kinds Fay might assume I have?
"You see, there are people who are content with just sleeping together. Then there are those who want to make love to each other. And then there are those who either got bored of simple love-making and look for all sorts of different ways and tools to make their intimate time… more exciting?"
"For example…?"
Seeing and feeling my hesitation and reluctance to continue with the topic, Fay put a huge grin on her face as she continued to dig deeper.
"There are those who enjoy binding the other and those who like to be restrained...? I heard there are some who like to caress the feet of their partner, some who are into having sex while dressed up in all sorts of costumes…"
The more I said, the worse I felt. And to make matters worse, just a step to the side, Kash was clearly enjoying the show of me making a fool of myself.
"Huh-oh?" Fay gave me a knowing smile, sparks of mischief nearly jumping out of her eyes. "And what sorts of… kinks do you have?"
Getting even closer, Fay climbed up on her toes as if to get even closer to my face and get a better look into my eyes.
All a meaningless gesture, given how she could read far further into my thoughts and my soul in general through our bond.
"Guys, I know I kind of started it, but how about you leave this topic for later?"
Unable to stand our flirting any longer, Kash raised both of her hands in defeat as she pleaded.
Seeing this, Fay\'s sensual smile gradually turned into a satisfied smirk, all the while her soul filled with a sense of a job well done.
"Moving on, both the kitchen and the toilet will have to be along this wall," she pointed at the opposite end of what would turn into our work apartment in the near future.
"Because of piping?" Fay asked, once again proving that her level of knowledge about the modern world was quickly approaching the level of someone pretty much born in the modern world.
"Exactly." Kash smiled as she nodded her head. "Because it\'s going to be quite a while before we get the hot water running all over the camp, for now, you will have to do with a localized boiler for that. That\'s what this third hole by the wall is going to be for. And don\'t worry, we are going to seal it when we come to fit the kitchen equipment here.
As for the size of both the kitchen and the bath, we can make it as big as you want it to be. Just keep in mind, the bigger it is, the less room you will have for a private office or the corridors."
Following Kash\'s words, Fay got rid of her smile as she lowered her eyelids a bit, once again mixing the world of her imagination with the world presented to her through her eyes.
\'Do we really need a private office to begin with? And if so, should we make it one office, double office, or maybe two singular ones?\'
There were things that we had to take care of in the field. Then there were tasks we had to complete while working with others in the shared office for the highest ranks. Then there were meetings that would happen in the communication core… But what about the tasks that we could and maybe even should complete in the comfort of our own lodging?
Paperwork that\'s too annoying to deal with in the shared spaces?
"What do you think?"
Done with her own imaginative thinking, Fay turned over to me, eager to learn my perspective on things.
"To be frank, I believe you have a better sense of how to make this into a comfortable love nest for us," I encouraged Fay with a few, selected words. "But I won\'t lie, this place will only be a work-related one. It won\'t be long before we will get a proper house… But until then, we will have to make do with just this place."
Rather than answering, I ended up yapping out loud, as if pushing my thought process out of my hand and to an audible plane.
"Dear?" Fay leaned her head over her shoulder, giving me one of her adorable, slightly perplexed looks.
"I really want a bath big enough to include a hybrid of shower and a proper tub. On that note, I believe we could limit ourselves to just a kitchenette over a proper kitchen since it won\'t be long before this place will be swarmed with food stalls and inns of all sorts.
But on the note of a private office…" I took just a little bit longer to think, "I think a shared, double one would work best between our need to have a space like this and the sake of making the best use of what little space we have."
To say that we had little space… would be a sin. In relative terms, this barebone apartment we received was roughly four times the size of the shack that I used to live in just a few weeks prior. And yet, given the experience of living in a luxurious suite at the very top of the apartment tower back on the modern side of my portal…
"Double office for us to share…" Fay muttered, lowering her chin over her hand as her eyes escaped to the realm of imagination only she could see.
"That\'s certainly doable, miss, mister," Kash cheered on the idea. "It would save quite a lot of space when compared to a…"

The noise of the radio cut Kash off and forced everyone\'s eye onto its source - my belt.
Looking down, I grabbed the radio and raised it up to my face only to then heave a long sigh.
"It looks like it\'s time for me to go," I announced, killing the alarm and bringing the radio back to its rightful spot on my belt. "Can I leave this matter to the two of you?" I asked, raising my eyes back to the girls.
"Sure thing, boss!" Kash replied and followed with an enthusiastic salute.
"Not a problem," Fay smiled lightly before approaching my arm again and leaning on it just heavily enough to pull my shoulder down, making it easier for her to climb up toward my ear. "And don\'t forget," she whispered, her lips so close I could feel how their movement disturbed the air around my ear. "Once you are ready to go back, I\'m coming with you. After all…"
Even without looking at her face, I could tell just how big of a smirk appeared on her lips.
"We still have to discuss all sorts of kinks you might have!"
