Cress pulled free when the arrows hit their mark causing the skeletons to fall over wailing in ash. What happened next swept him off of his feat as the chest behind him sprung to life and seemed to block his pathway, and the skeletons. His eyes widened with shock as a naked, well endowed woman burst out of the chest seeming to yell at him for punching her. His face immediately burst into a soft pink color as he struggled to cover his eyes. The sword just floated there keeping an eye out. Various other female voices seemed to shout into the room, catching him off guard.  Taking a moment he slowly stood to his feet, and opened his eyes. Focusing upon the angered eyes of the topless woman he was about to speak when suddenly another woman entered the room.  Cress's attention was turned away from the Mimic to the cursed sword whom also seemed naked as well, though more or less covered up.<br/><br/>What was even more eerie was the fact that the woman with a sword for an arm, didn't take her eyes off of him as she spoke. Yet any of the skeletons trying to get close were easily taken care of.  Her eyes seemed hauntingly beautiful but there was something off about this woman. The eye on the sword seemed to be staring at him as well. Rubbing the back of his neck Cress glanced away, still trying to wipe his nose from the sudden nosebleed. His blush never left his face, and he stood there shyly for a moment. He wasn't afraid, more or less, confused. By the time a roar was heard he jumped a little snapping him out of his stupor. The skeletons were retreating into the darkness, having given up.  For now he was alone in this room with two naked women and whomever else. "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(226, 80, 65)">Uhh....well....sure I guess.</span>" he replied to Reign confused about her request, not realizing he had just accidentally agreed to become her "sheath" whatever that meant. It would be clear that he wasn't used to dealing with such flirtatious affairs.<br/><br/>When he was younger his master would always plaster himself with booze and women. He had spent embarrassing nights being tormented and teased. Though none of the women that often did hurt him or anything, Cress was just a confused boy with cute features. So affection was kind of something that flew over his head, it was something he didn't know how to process well being an orphan. Not that it mattered too much,  yet his cocky attitude seemed to melt into one that had become incredibly shy.  So much so that Regaltz floated in front of him and bowed.<br/><br/>"<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">Forgive my Master. He's not used to such...feminine wiles.</span>" the sword mused while Cress sort of avoided eye contact with the Mimic or else he'd probably be staring at her well endowed chest. "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">I would suggest finding something to cover your lid Madame. As for the rest of you I know I appreciate your help with fending off those skeletons</span>."<br/><br/>"<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(226, 80, 65)">Y-Yeah thanks, heh.</span>" Cress stated bowing as well trying to be as respectable as he could despite feeling kind of shy. Though he was glad Regaltz was there to help. Cress was somewhat awkward with people. Usually he and Regaltz kept to themselves and got work wherever they could. He was a free spirit that kind of came and went.  "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">As for you Madame....I'm afraid you cannot spread your curse so easily. He and I already share a soul bond.  So to say your powers won't really work upon him too well as I protect him. Still I won't stop you, seeing that it is in your nature.</span>" the sword warned the cursed weapon. "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">Now if you'll only give us a little space and a minute or two.</span>" floating back over to Cress the sword stared at him.<br/><br/>"<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">Do you need a moment? Sorry I had not realized that Monster Girls would appear.</span>" Regaltz stated kindly.<br/><br/>"<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(226, 80, 65)">M-Monster Girls?</span>" Cress asked, looking like an innocent confused child.<br/><br/>"<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">Yes, they're sort of a rare species above ground. Though if there are some here within this place then this dungeon must be crawling with them.</span>"<br/><br/>It was clear that he hadn't seen them before. Still, they were women and needed to be respected after all. It was the right thing to do. Gaining his composure Cress stood up and slapped his cheeks. Glancing about the room at the Cursed Sword and Mimic his face lit up in a blush but he avoided eye contact with Kogasa's chest the best he could. "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(226, 80, 65)">Sorry for punching you. Your box looked so frail I figured it would be easy to break it open. I wasn't expecting a beautiful curvy girl to come popping out of it though. Tell you what, I'll find a way to make it up to you somehow? I don't think being punched by tentacles would be fun.</span>" he stated with a chuckle.  "<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(226, 80, 65)">I"m Cresstus Edge by the way, but just call me Cress. Sorry if I sort of well fell into your territory. I didn't really have a choice in the matter.</span>" he stated crossing his arms. Yet that would be another story to tell later if they stuck around that was. For now it was best to be friendly to these odd looking women.<br/><br/>Cress wasn't sure if they were friend or foe, but at least they were kind enough to help him.  In return he'd protect them, it was the least he could do. Regaltz returned to his side and floated next to him idly. Maybe to these women a young man with a talking weapon seemed out of the ordinary. Yet it was thanks to this fact that he wasn't running away screaming. Oddly Cress was pretty calm around these women, even the voices who had called out from the dark. Were there more? Why were they down here? Cress figured all of those questions would be answered in time. For now he had to find his way around and see if he could escape this dungeon. Maybe they could help?
