Between shifts, maintenance, studies, scenario runs, Urvasi managed to get in a connect with Dylan for another date. She thought about where they were at. They had been to coffees, quick breaks, pass byes, but a chance to spend time together talking and enjoying each other's company for more than 15 minutes, nada. Yet, they managed. She did not lie to Dylan, he interested her, and as long as they were pursuing each other, they were only for each other, his past of being Bi did not matter. If they got sexual, she didn't have to worry about two guys flora/fauna vying for her internal biome and causing havoc, to STDs. It would only be his, and hers, and thus, no conflicts.
She finished programming the final touches on the Holodeck program. She was making sure the gravity and threat levels were for him being a Terran and not for her being a Vulienrey. She didn't want to cause him any harm, she only wanted to show him a glimpse into the society she was from, and where she spent her early years.
Now, she waited at the doors to the holodeck for Dylan to appear. For herself, she was in a teal blouse, navy dark short skirt, dark navy forarm wraps and shin wraps. Nothing on her feet, simple jewelry of wrist and ankle bands with a tail wrap at the root of her tail, all five with 4 embedded crystals similar to Teal Moissanite. The jewelry was under the wraps and not seen at this time. She wore no bra while having on a teal thong. As they were going to a Vulienrey village in the Trees, along the tree road besides hanging walkways, she wanted her feet to be able to extend her climbing claws besides feeling the wood of the tree limbs for safe passage. Besides, with the village now being 1.0 versus her normal 1.8 g, she could pick him up and jump across the tree road with no issues, or so she hoped. If he would let her. Anyways, she waited for his arrival.
Fortunately she didn't have to wait much long before Dylan arrived dressed at her request: sports attire. Supporting a grey t-shirt, black shorts, black soft shoes and a beaming smile he hurried towards her with obvious excitement.
"Hi," he said quickly and took in her attire. It was still odd on occasion to see coworkers or the senior staff out of uniform especially if they'd make an effort for a special occasion. Urvasi was no exception as her short skirt enhanced the elegance of her legs and definition of her ever shifting tail. "I think teal suits you," he nodded. "Though what's with the wraps - no, wait, don't tell me - I'm just excited to finally have some time together and eager to see what you have planned for us."
Urvasi returned the hi with a slightly breathy "Hi.." as Dylan checked her out. She could not help in looking over him as well, an appreciative smile appearing on her face, while listening to what he was saying. She yiffered gently, "Thank you, and thank you for desiring this, you look perfect. For myself, I have been very eager as well." She moved over to give him a hug, enjoying his body against hers, their only 3" height difference making them be near each other cheek to cheek. She could tell he kept in shape, not letting himself go, but not going overboard either. For herself, Urvasi just wasn't attracted to overly sized muscles. Urvasi pressed her cheek into his, her fur interspersing with his beard, while reaching her right hand down to feel over his left buttocks while her left hand rubbed over his lower back. She whispered, "Yes, please, you can, I want to feel desired by you." After a little time, she moved her hand back up to the small of his back while she shifted her head to his face to give him a pressed kiss onto his lips, shifting her lip muscles to make a shifting, interesting kiss, and when moving back, her tongue peaked out to do a light lick across his lips.
Instinctively Dylan mirrored her embrace and drew his arms across her back enjoying the way she matched him physically. Beneath the clothing he could feel the softness of her fur along with that which tickled his face slightly as they shared one another's company.
His eyes widened as her hand roamed southwards running over his backside and he bit back a gasp at her forward, suggestive words. Dylan smirked glad now he'd opted to forgo the clingy Lycra cycling shorts in favour of something with more movement to save his blushes and awkwardness.
"Christ," he whispered as she withdrew after giving him the most sensual kiss he'd ever experienced. If her intention was to turn him into a hot, heady mess it was certainly working. "That's some greeting."
A yiffering giggle came from Urvasi's muzzle as she responded, "I'm glad you liked it." She winked as she said in a low voice, "My race is very tactile, so, touches and affirmations are just how we are." Louder she said, "Common, time for another treat."
Urvasi released him to twirl around and slap the door open control. Now the simple platinum band with its four Teal Moissanite like crystals, one at each 90 degrees of the band, could be seen at the root of her tail. Inside the door was chaos. Inside there where large trees spaced outwards like seen in a forest, but the view quickly stopping at the sheer size of the trees. Along the trees there seemed to be a lot of movement going to and fro, including people jumping from lower to higher or higher to lower, and even sometimes across. Urvasi took Dylan's right hand into her left, and then she took him through the doorway. The door closed behind them.
Given her forward nature thus far in the early relationship Dylan had half expected a glorious, luxurious boudoir to greet them - or at least that was the desires from his loin. Instead, the scene ahead was spectacular.
They were on a very large limb, but a limb with a built up walkway so they could easily be side by side. Away from them could be seen males and females of Urvasi's race, moving together in singles, pairs, triplets, and more. Almost everyone seemed to be in a hurry, jogging, leaping, shifting. Here and there were those not rushing, which were usually couples, or maybe triplets comprised of one male and female, the second female hovering nearby and helping the first female with her date. Then, there were Vulpienrey families comprised of 1 male, three to 7 females, with kitlings, or children by Terran standards, and the pace of the kitlings besides runabout play by siblings and sometimes friends causing the slowdown.
Among the Vulpinoids were Terrans, but yet, not Terrans. They were like well built tall Cherokee with a presence to them, moving about in singles, pairs, groups of 1 to 5, always one male to several females, and families. Urvasi let out a sigh of pleasure and joy, happy to be back among the orderly structure of the tree road. She said, "Welcome to Downtown Tlranthenie City, located in the Urrtxhatenay Province of the Haatxharrxcht Terriroty on the planet Nestranstra III. I grew up in the outskirts here and wanted to take you to my favorite Restaurant my family went to, Hrrenxchiarr. It is out of the way, but offers cuisine from several L'Tandrey Protectorate Cultures." She gave Dylan a peck on the cheek, smiling at him, then suddenly said, "Oh, the Terrans, those are Sumerians from Earth." Urvasi paused to let Dylan soak up the sights and get accustomed to the seeming mayhem around them.
"You drew this all up from memory?" he asked in awe. "It's incredible, and totally not what I had imagined for your home world. There's so much to take in I don't really know where to begin."
Urvasi giggled at hearing his words besides feeling his emotions at seeing the sights. She replied, "Well, mostly, but some references came from home movies and pictures, a couple documentaries, but yeah, I guess I went a little overboard... but I hoped to show you an experience from my homeworld."
He smirked. "I'm impressed at your programming skills, I hope you enjoyed bringing this to life for us today. The Terrans here, do they really co-inhabit your world, or did you just add them to make me feel more comfortable?"
Urvasi blushed at his praise even as she shifted to be nearer to him for his company. She snorted out in light laughter about the 'Terrans', and then her tail moved over to lightly touch along his back between mid to lower. She explained, "The Sumerians really are a part of the L'Tandrey Protectorate. They have their own world they call home, and has been their home for over eight millennia. They do visit our world a lot, and some like staying there, even though needing a gravity support belt to stay as Nestranstra III is a 1.8 g world, and harsh with its wildlife, insects, and parasites." She brushed her right and over his left cheek, feeling over his trimmed beard, "Don't worry. For us, tonight, I made sure the gravity is 1g and any bad interactions with the local flora and fauna are turned off."
"That's a relief," Dylan replied lifting his hands to still hers as she feathered his beard and drew it to lips kissing it softly. "I'd hate for our evening to end in sickbay."
Urvasi let out a murrmurr 'awwwww' at his kiss upon her hand. She curtsied slightly as she added, "Exactly, so would I. A fungus eating at your skin, mites going for a mouth nest, an intestinal parasitic insect crawling into your tush, all of them tends to put a damper on an evening's entertainment."
He pulled a face somewhere between horror and amusement not entirely certain if she was toying with him or not. None the less he was relieved they'd been saved from such events tonight.
Urvasi momentarily stilled as she sensed something happening nearby. She put an arm about his waist as she moved him to the side against a guide rope to let a Patrol by, who consisted of 1 Male Sumerian, 1 female and 1 male Vulienrey, and one female Mephetian (skunk anthro). They were armed with crystalline swords, bows, as well as energy side arms. Urvasi's ears, whiskers, and tail moved in small movements towards the female Vulienrey, who returned with similar, but slightly different movements. Urvasi laughed as she turned to plant a quick kiss upon his lips. She explained, "The patrol accepted my apology for holding them up, and Nesxharthna said no problem and have fun on our date. So, ready?"
Willing himself to relax as Urvasi pulled him aside Dylan suddenly felt uncertain high among the tree tops but trusted she'd keep him safe. The thought quickly passed at the sound of her laughter and quick peck on his lips. "She said that?" he asked back tracking slightly.
Yiffering gently, Urvasi explained, "In a manner of speaking, yes. My apology and her answer was done through gesture talk. It is a combination of ear, whisker, and tail movements that is a superset of battle language developed by the Vulpine races in the Protectorate. For communications, it is faster than using verbal words, but, you have to know it... and you kind of need large very controllable ears, whiskers, and a tail. However, nothing says you can't learn some as well as I learn some of any non-verbal language you have picked up... it would be a way to communicate without sounds, making it very handy when situations arise requiring stealth."
"I might be able to persuade the Doctor to give me a tail," Dylan began with a cheeky smirk. "But I think she'll draw the line at ears and whiskers."
A giggle among yiffers erupted from Urvasi. She grew serious as she looked over him, "Still, I think you would make a great Neko from anime... Neko Fox or Wolf.. no, wait, you want the prehensile tail to flirt with and go under skirts... Cat Neko for you."
He smirked at her comment and tried to imagine the mischief he could muster as a feline.
Urvasi pointed over to a tree where up higher was a built out patio with diners on it. She said, "There is the restaurant. Fortunately, as this is a downtown spot with tourists, there are lift planes to get up or down to different levels." She shifted her head a little to the left, her eyes smiling, as she said, "I like how you keep your beard... it is a physical tell of your character."
Dylan chuckled and rubbed his chin. "Thanks, I've grown to like it. The clean shaven me looks utterly terrible - and if this grows too long especially the mustache tickles so bad it drives me insane."
Letting out a yiff of pleasure, she finished, "Okay, we can go arm in arm together a lot, but where there are a lot of people, we will go in a single line. Normally, the lady leads the way, however, as you are Terran, it is expected that the Vulienrey lady follows to help out with any jostling, balance, or getting past obstacles, like kitlings suddenly bumping into you. Ready to get there?"
"I can see why a tail would certainly help on the lesser branches.," Dylan nodded. "Just tell me where to go and I'll try not to fall off in the process."
Hooking her left arm into his right, she moved off with him, her tail upon his back. The tail there was a way for her to let him know which way. She would press on his lower left back to guide him left, then on his lower right back to guide him right. When they had to go single file, she would keep her hands on his hips, helping to guide. Of course, when switching from behind to beside, or vice versa, she would stray a hand lower over his hips just to flirt and let Dylan know his physical tone was appreciated.
It was hard for him to take in the scenery as they weaved along the branches and occasionally easing past overs sharing the path. Urvasi's guiding touch had been invaluable to prevent him from straying too far and prevent him from flapping his arms in an attempt to save himself. Her playful, flirtatious nature was another distraction he joyfully endured, half wondering if Urvasi was aware that her behavior, though natural to the Vulienrey was very advanced for a first date in Terran culture.
The path was built over tree limbs to allow them to move from one tree to another for getting to the second tree. Once to the second tree, Urvasi guided Dylan around it to a juncture where there was no walkway. It was at this point the first 'lift plane 'elevator'' was found. Ahead of them, the Sumerians were stepping out into the 'open air' while a shimmer appeared at their feet. They would lift their foot to go up, or press down with a foot to go down. How high up or how much down pressure controlled how fast the lift was. To each side of the lift plane was reinforced tree bark. The climbing races were actually climbing up or down, with the Vulienrey going just as fast as they walked. It was an interesting sight to see. Urvasi brought him up to the edge, then turned and asked, "Do you think you have it, or do you want a quick lesson?"
Dylan didn't respond at first. His buoyant mood eclipsed with mirth and lusty desire stalled at the sight before them - or more accurately the void that lay directly ahead. He watched the others walk calmly forward off the comfort of the walkway and onto the invisible surface that would power them higher into the tree tops. Though Urvasi had already assured him she'd made modifications to the programme to ensure his safety and he'd witnessed others using the magical elevator Dylan battled his instincts.
"No, I've got this," he replied hoping he sounded more convincing than he felt.
Urvasi nodded, listening and feeling Dylan's convictions. She thought about it, then decided to 'help' him out. "Okay, I believe in you. I will jump ahead and lead you to the platform you need to exit at." She leaned forward to give him a quick kiss upon his lips, then she turned and leapt upwards onto the reinforced bark area. Her skirt shifted up, then laid down upon her hips. Urvasi glanced downwards, then yiffered gently as she called out, "I am ready, step upon the platform."
He'd barely noticed that she'd leapt gracefully on the bark above as Dylan continued to ready himself to move forward with bravado. With a steadying breath he extended at leg forward and committed himself stepping away from the path and into the void.
As Dylan stepped upon the 'empty area' there was resistance as though stepping upon a turbolift floor. However, there was also resistance at the hips, waist, and at arm level. The platform shift energies were about feeling an aero car lift between levels, not just a 'flat plank' at the feet.
He let out a breath of relief feeling his weight supported and entombed by an unseen, yet comforting presence.
With the cradling effect, the platform was ready for Dylan to step up, or down, and how fast.
Not daring to look down Dylan lifted his gaze to focus on Urvasi.
Urvasi shifted herself and jumped sideways to be right above Dylan She glanced down, then said, "At your own pace.. I will be above you till the restaurant ramp. Here we go."
"Alright," he said lowly and lifted his foot upwards in a careful and controlled manner to raise the elevator upwards towards their destination.
She climbed upwards then shifted to leap up, then settle. That 'leap' caused her skirt to hug her body, but then, as she landed, the skirt billowed upwards to show her teal thong, buttocks muscles, and covered intimate bits, then the skirt would settle. She would climb, which showed off the interbanding muscles of her buttocks. Urvasi did not have a single 'gluteus maximus' muscle, but several bands of muscles for explosive energy, sustained energy, tail shifts, and upward jump shifts. All of this framed her sexual intimate bits under the thong, which also included her 'back passage' framed by those very muscle layers.
The unexpected view of her revealing underwear caused Dylan's body to react in several ways very quickly. His mouth fell open, his eyes widened and his pulse raced forcing blood below his waistline causing a painful, yet pleasurable ache. The raised foot jerked violently sending the invisible elevator into a jerking stop start movement before he'd found some level of control again.
However, her expression was not about teasing, not about exposure, but about genuine concern about Dylan adapting to the ramp system and hoping he was feeling acceptance and resolve that this would be reality. Her body reacted to the climbing above him, as well as her concern, her skirt billowing whenever she would leap up, and then settle while waiting for his 'lift' to catch up with her. As her tail shifted for balance, bands of muscles through her buttocks would shift, the end points being her legs to her tail, showing off her races balance through tail through buttocks The teal thong only helped to highlight those muscle shifts.
Drawing his gaze away having felt his face flush with heat, Dylan admired the way Urvasi moved to fluidly up the enormous tree with a level of grace he could only dream off. Even with ropes and pulleys no Human would be able to match the flexibility or strength she was demonstrating as a natural climber. He suspected she'd be able to turn this ability to most sporting activities with ease and beat him comfortably.
