[In the previous Mature update, Patience felt the force of two in two different ways]

As Patience basked in the glow of euphoria, the shiny new trunk in the corner of the room called her eye. 

It sparked her to ponder where their future would take them. However, she was currently quite content with their excursions to the bedroom. Patience sighed, nestling into the sheets warmed by their exercise. Her gaze drifted to the man next to her and the skull obscuring his face.

While Anax and Schuler regarded each other genially, there was little affection between them. Anax had once asked her if she thought he could be intimate with Schuler and she was fairly certain that was as far as the notion went. Patience was willing to bet Anax had not even broached the subject with the man. Not yet. Patience wondered if Schuler would ever agree: if he would ever simply be curious about coupling with the creature, or if they would ever achieve a level of affinity for the passion to come naturally.

For the moment, she was happy so long as they were. It was a matter solely between the men. She would not goad them one way or another, though a small part of her imagined how much closer they would all be if Schuler and Anax loved each other as they loved her. It felt like a lot to wish for after already receiving the greatest blessing in her life: the love of two devoted souls.
