<strong>"Oh, no," </strong>he laughed, rubbing his stout belly as he walked a little closer to her.<strong>"I just like to greet new players."</strong><br/><br/>The man was maybe two thirds her height, quite pudgy, and the closer he drew the more it seemed there were clods of dirt and bits of string and other trash in his beard.  She could see a deep smile under his cloak now, and the closer he got, the more clear it was his eyes were angled not towards her face but her tits.<br/><br/><strong>"Say, wanna earn a little XP?  It can be pretty hard out there without it, and I happen to know a great spot for some.  Just come with me down a side cave and I'll help you learn some for <em>s'eXploration</em>."</strong>There was a certain weirdness to the way he said exploration, but he nodded at a fold in the wall she'd not noticed before which seemed to lead to some side cavern with a faint blue light down it.  Odd.  It was almost like it hadn't been there before, though as she looked at the entrance she realized the rock was just sculpted so as to not be visible approaching down the road.<br/><br/>This game seemed to have a certain emphasis on exploration.  From the wide open fields to the many cave passages, she could go almost anyway.<br/><br/><strong>"Maybe afterwards I can show you to the lagoon.  It's a pretty cool place for low level characters to earn some gear."</strong>He reached his hand out around her waist without asking or hesitation as soon as he was close enough, and locked his arm around her.  His breath and body were warm against the coldness of her clothes and slicked skin.
