Novel Full Chapter 626 - 626 Real Flashbacks Part 3
"I think the next big event was during the 5th day. I did the same things in the afternoon as I did in the morning on the fourth day. Just shuffling through slight variations on the same stance. Urgh… it wasn't fun at the time and I still don't like to think on it overly much but I can FEEL those stances practically burnt into my mind. It's weird because I have such a good memory now but those stances are a level above even that. I feel like I couldn't forget them even if I tried" said Kat with some slight exasperation.
[Do we want to use it as a test? Try and show me those memories and see what happens?]
"I don't really want to use your mind as a place to experiment Lily. This bond is still knew, and while it will probably be fine, is this really something we want to test?" asked Kat worried.
Lily just scoffed internally. [Kat I can practically feel the concern radiating from you even without you actively sharing the emotion. I'll be fine. I trust that this bond will not do anything we wouldn't want and I know you'd never want to hurt me.]
Kat had to fight herself a little after Lily's words. Part of her was preening at the acknowledgment that she'd never hurt Lily. The fact Lily also seemed so sure of this filled her heart with warmth. The more logical side of her, however, was quite annoyed that those few words were making her so willing to go through with the test. Just because of Lily's belief it wouldn't hurt. *That's not a proper reason I can't just do something because Lily believes it will be ok. She normally tests things properly too so why now?*
Despite Kat's internal complaints and misgivings about being so easily swayed… she was easily swayed. Kat sent the memories to Lily and Lily received a slideshow in turn. It didn't go into detail at all, skimming over practically the entire afternoon. It was enough to get a vague idea of what Kat had done but nothing better then that. It seemed that while sharing memories was good for, well, sharing memories, sharing practice wasn't possible. Lily made a note to see if she could send information she knew Kat wasn't aware of at a later time.
With that bit of testing out of the way though, Kat sent her memories of the 5th day.

Day 5 Early Morning (before meeting up with Mai)
Kat looked around the room she'd been assigned. It was spacious but quite bare. All the room contained was a dresser and some bedding for the floor. That was it. Kat found the bedding a little inconvenient as well because it didn't have enough give to let her wings sink in. Granted a normal bed wasn't the best for that either but at least there was something. Kat had ended up sleeping on her stomach because of this and making use of her meditation technique to get peacefully through the night because it just felt to her to sleep like this.
Kat stood up and carefully poked at her muscles. *Ugh, I know I have regeneration but I swear I can still feel my muscles burning from yesterday. I didn't think I could even get muscle pains from working out anymore. Clearly I was proved wrong. Even if the pain now seems to be just in my head.*
Kat came to that conclusion based on the fact that poking various areas where she was sore didn't illicit any further pain as they should. It felt exactly the same as poking anywhere else despite the pain that seemingly radiated from the effected areas. *I know enough about muscles to know I've worked out a bunch of new ones… but this is just weird. How are they damaged or not?*
The air had no answers for her.

Day 5 Morning
Today it seemed Mai wanted to make fun of Enuko again because that was the form she took. "Good morning Kat. Today we'll be working on stretching. Something I completely forgot you need. Which, is my bad entirely. I'm not exactly sure why you need it, because I don't, but Enuko reminded me about it and I can't say she's wrong in this case. Still, I'll be wearing her face for a while because I feel like it."
Kat opened her mouth to respond before closing it again. *Wait… do I need to stretch? Is that why my muscles hurt? No that's dumb. I walked all day without trouble. I participated in that tournament and performed fairly vigorous exercises even getting into a few fights and I still wasn't a sore as I feel today. I'm not sure that I actually DO need to stretch. D.E.M.O.N.S?*
User Kat is correct. Stretching only provides minor benefits for a Succubus due to their natural flexibility. For standard activities Succubi do not require it. It is noted however that over extended periods of time, such as years or decades, stretching can further improve a Succubus' baseline flexibility.
*Well that's not what I wanted to hear. 'You don't really need to be there is a benefit' I guess I can at least take comfort in knowing I'm not hurting myself.* "Actually, despite what Enuko said I personally don't need to stretch or well, not personally, racially? I guess? It does have long term benefits for me but I can't be injured just from forgetting to stretch. If that makes sense" said Kat.
Mai pulled a tail forward to begin stroking it slowly. It looked exactly the same as Enuko's and Mai was even able to dig her hands into the fur. The detail in Mai's transformations was truly astonishing. "Hmm… I think I'll still teach you then. You'll want a lot of flexibility if you're going to sue a fan and even though you already have quite a lot, more is always better. I think it's worth adding to my teachings even if you don't use these stretches too often."
And that was how Kat learned how to stretch correctly. Before too many poses could be performed, she found the memory collapsing around them…

Present
*Lily?!* Kat called in her mind. In response she got sent an emotion. It was hot and burning, making her feel like she'd swallowed a bowl of chillies… or well, Kat barely felt those now, though she did know what that felt like having tried them once. Surprisingly crunchy and the burn lasts for a while.
It took a few moments for Lily to try to get the sensation under control. Despite being a Memphis at the moment she could certainly feel herself reacting. Her cheeks would have been glowing had she been a human and her mouth was watering. [I'm fine. I… I'll be fine. Dammit Kat I wasn't ready for that]
*Ready for that?* Asked Kat internally. She didn't feel like speaking aloud for some reason.
[God you really don't know. I mean, these are you memories so I know you don't know but… dammit Kat. I don't think you realise what a memory like that does to me!]
Kat just let her confusion radiated down the link and Kat felt Lily sigh in exasperation in her mind, alongside a slight bit of amusement because of the fact she COULD sigh in exasperation across the link.
[I don't know if this is better or worse that I can tell you don't know. It… it's so weird looking back on it as well. I can practically feel the 'this is normal' or no… better yet 'no problem here' radiating from you in those memories. I… Ok look Kat. I've told you before you're hot right? Like, you are exceptionally attractive. I know you can't really understand the distinction there but there is a very big separation between 'she looks nice' and 'I am instantly having illicit thoughts' levels of 'hot'.]
[Not only are you in the latter category you are also my girlfriend so that pushes me further down that road and Kat… even though I'm watching this from your perspective I still have my own thoughts on everything I'm seeing… and watching you contort into various poses where quite regularly you are looking down at your chest or sticking your ass out is HARD on me.]
[Ok maybe not that, I'm not a man so it's not literally hard but… dammit Kat it makes me want to jump you even as a Kat. It is not good for my poor little heart to see something so erotic couched in your memories that are basically telling me nothing interesting is happening here. It's such a weird clash in mentality Kat. But dammit if I don't want to see more of that.]
*Not really sure how to take that one… I guess it's another thing I can add to the list of things I won't understand.* "Do you want to skip over the rest of day 5 then?" asked Kat out loud to help with keeping her prior thoughts a secret. She didn't need to send anything down the link this way.
[Is there more sexy poses and stretching?]
"Yes" said Kat.
Lily was silent for a while. She knew it was probably a good idea to skip over the rest of the stretching, especially because she wasn't able to kiss Kat to relieve some of the tension she was starting to feel building.. At the same time… an excuse to watch her girlfriend doing those poses wasn't one she could turn down. [I'll just have to be strong!]
