<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/90/ELFIE.jpg)</div><br/>A squeak of surprise and alarm escaped Comy as she attempted to recover and ended up tripping over her own feet, followed by a very disorienting adjustment of her vertical and horizontal sensorium axes that resolved with a strangely soft thumping sensation with something rather softer than she would expect and somewhat warmer than seemed logical and a temporary lack of all visual data...<br/><br/>Oh.  Wait.<br/><br/>She sat up, or at least reared up and tried to ignore the rather pleasant feel of the other woman's belly as she ground her core down in the process of adjusting.  And very, very carefully made sure her hands were in safe territory in the process.<br/><br/><strong>"Apologies,"</strong>she offered,<strong>"I did not intend contact in such fashion. Are you at all injured?"</strong><br/><br/>The...oh, wow, those were<em>huuuuuuge</em>....focus, Comy, focus...specimen of Homo Minotaura Sapiens seemed startled and embarrassed, but not injured.  Although her shirt, now damp, clung in a manner that drew the eye. Thus, Comy did her best not to stare too openly.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Here, let me give you a hand up."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Interruption noted.  Classified as an offer of assistance.  Comy turned and took the proffered hand and awkardly dismounted the Minotaur, giving her new associate a warm smile before turning to offer the same assistance to her temporary mattress.<br/><br/><strong>"Greetings, Sam.  I am Comy Vendradi.  Comy is appropriate for informal and familiar use.  I should express delight at the opportunity to complete additional forms so long as they are necessary and sufficient."</strong><br/><br/>There.  That was both polite enough and sufficiently ambiguous to fit the circumstances without mandating any actual sense of joy on her part for the task ahead.  And so saying, she took a seat and began to mentally note her responses...<br/><br/>(Sam, of course, would find the small woman's voice and accent odd, but quite understandable.  It was almost as if she had to translate the concepts behind the words through some odd filter, then select the appropriate words.  This was not quite the same thing she'd seen with other Demis, who usually just needed to go from one word to another.)<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"><em>1.
