Buuuut... it could be a lot of fun." Brady flashed an impish grin up at the giantess, still kneading with one hand at her belly. To be honest, she didn't much care if Sunete chose to free Gallen or not - Linal had already volunteered as their third, after all - but it was fun to tease, and encouraged the catboy to keep squirming, which was a plus in her book. She knew from experience that Gallen's struggles wouldn't last more than a few minutes, and wanted to make the most of them before moving on with what needed to be done... assuming Cragsplitter could restrain himself that long.<br/><br/>[quote="Cragsplitter]"If this maze is here...then the last line is that. Last. If they were strong they would be attacking, not defending. They may miss their friend if we don't hurry."[/quote]<br/>"If my plan works, they might not miss him at all," Brady replied. "Give me a minute, and I can use a metamorphosis to... Crag? Crag, are you alright? You don't look so good..." Hugging herself a bit closer to Sunete's side, Brady regarded the staggering ursine with concern, unsure whether to come to his aid or keep her distance. She'd seen the lusty way he looked at her in the tunnels, and didn't care to risk tempting either of the half-naked bear's appetites in his current state.<br/><br/>As it turned out, it was a moot point. Before she could make a decision, Cragsplitter turned and barreled down the next corridor, once again displaying his stunning lack of subtlety. Brady sighed, and withdrew a hand from Sunete to cradle her own forehead. That bear was starting to give<span style="font-weight: bold">her</span>a headache...<br/><br/>"I guess we'd better go after him," she said, after a moment to collect herself. "Crag and his third leg aren't going to eat twelve people by themselves. Just give me a second  to give Crew a quick combat adjustment..."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Another adjustment?~</span>Crew moaned.<span style="font-style: italic">~Do we really have to? I was finally getting used to this personality...~</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Sorry, Crew.~</span>Brady replied.<span style="font-style: italic">~I'll change you back later, but right now, I need you to run psychic interference. If there's a succubus in there, I don't want to end up charmed down her throat.~</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Well, when you put it that way... alright. But you owe me.~</span>With one last psychic grumble, Crew's connection fell silent, save for the faint thrum of thought that incidated his sub-psyche at work within her own. The psicrystal's physical body echoed the sensation, the stone at her breast pulsing and swirling with color as Crew's personality realigned itself. After a few seconds, the swirling subsided, and a deep but familiar voice rumbled in her head.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Gotcha covered, kiddo. Now let's get moving!~</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Right on, Crew~</span>Brady replied. With a nod to Sunete, she gave the soft belly under her hand one last affectionate squeeze before disengaging from the giantess and darting down the corridor after their ursine battering ram.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Brady takes a full-round action to switch Crew's personality.
