"You are a person, right?" The girl asked, tilting her head like a confused puppy.
He nods an affirmation.
"Bouncing basilisk balls!" she squealed, her body quivering with delight. "I can't believe I actually did it!?"
"What exactly is… it?" Her mother sneered as she slipped into a sheer, black robe.
"A soul." she exclaims proudly. "The Divinity Crystal has the power to absorb large amounts of holy essence. I focused its absorption abilities with a complex array of sub-light energy accumulators, a Grangel-beam transmitter array, and enough raw mana to power an army golems."
"I swear child… if I find coffers empty again…"
"Look at it, Mother! Imagine the possibilities. The satisfied customers. The mooooooney!!"
She sneered at daughter, eyes like crystal daggers.
"Ooooh Great and Gorgeous Maribelle Blackthorn…" Vuvi suddenly bellowed as she dropped to her knees, prostrating herself before her mother. "Please grant thy infinite mercy to me… your genius daughter who will make us stinking rich and save the world from the sexual scourges of The Demon Queen!"
"You stole my money again!" Maribelle barked, tossing a crudely shaped effigy of of a non-human phallus at her fucking daughter.
"A week!" Vuvi shrieked. "I promise. We'll have women lining up till the gates of the Royal Palace. One taste of this… Prince of Pleasure, and they'll be hooked! Admit it! He's goooood."
Maribelle rolled her eyes and nodded reluctantly.
He just stood there, nodding, silently making sense of the situation while sneaking glances at Maribelle's mind-meltingly beautiful body.
"Oh… shitting shamblers! You're a person and we're talking like you don't even exist in there." Vuvi admits as she grabs his metal hand.
"You'll help us, right… please?" Her bright, green eyes quiver with uncertainty as she looks at him longingly, softly stroking his hand with a tenderness he never knew.
He nods softly. No thought given. They needed his help. How could he possibly say no to a family in need, he thinks to himself, staring at Maribelle, searing the vision of her naked body into his neural circuits.
"Thank you…" Vuvi breaths. "Um… hmmm… do you have a name?"
He nods again.
"Oh… right. Can't talk." She huffs. "The parts for your audio modulator only arrive in a few weeks. Can you write?"
He nods harder.
She shuffles through some shelves and retrieves some parchment and a piece of coal, setting them neatly on a small desk.
"Go ahead." she smiles, gesturing toward it.
He quickly shuffles over, and with the most elegant handwriting he can muster, scrawl down his name in perfectly legible lettering.
Maribelle struts over and peeks at the page. "Probably has the brain of an infant. Clearing knows nothing."
"Hmm… he was looking at the books. I thought maybe he could read." Vuvi frowns. " Can you read?"
He nods, but then quickly shakes his head.
"Can you read… but not our language?"
He nods with head and hands this time.
"Are you… not from here?"
His whole body shales as he nods his head furiously.
"How far away?" Vuvi asks, her eyes narrowing as she begins making mental calculations.
He brings his palms together and slowly moves them apart, opening his arms as wide.
Her eyebrows jump. "Beyond the kingdom?"
He stretches his arms wider.
"Beyond the entire Eastern continent?" She gasps, eye stretching to their limits.
But he keeps stretching his arms.
"B-B-Beyond…. this world?" she shudders.
He slowly nods his head as his arms slump down beside him with a loud clunk.
"Forgive me, Oh Maidens of Mercy…" Maribelle cries out, falling to her bed. "I had no idea my daughter would be such a damning disappointment! To steal a soul from beyond… what have you done, Vuvi?"
"He is our prayers answered, Mother!" she snaps. "Born of the Divinity Crystal itself. What greater sign that the Maidens of Mercy have brought us salvation!"
"I should never have tangled with that damned dwarf!" Maribelle groaned, tossing pillows onto her head. "You made him, you pay consequences with The Maiden Mother hears word of this. I'm not taking the fall for this one, Vuvi. You've gone too far."
Vuvi scoffs, flicking fiery curls from her forehead as she turns face and strutted out the door.
"Come along, Pleasure Prince Version One Point Oh. Leave the boring, old hag. We have lots to discuss!" Vuvi smirked, as she crossed her arms.
"Old hag this, you cretin!" Maribelle sneered, flicking a ball of fire at Vuvi.
"Bleach my bushes!" she shrieks as it snaps at her bum, singing her already tattered overalls.
She slapped at her behind as it seared and smoked, a charred hole now showing the crack of her pink/peach bum.
"You monster! You're never getting a turn with him again!" she yells, storming off through the house.
He turns to Maribelle who sees him off with a sultry smile and a nod, slipping him a peek of her naked body and smokey wink before disappearing under silk sheets.
His vision is suddenly shaken by the arrival of cascading messages, raining down his visual interface.

"Niiiiiiice…" he beams to himself as he slips out of the room.
But only after sneaking one last glance at Maribelle's flawless figure, her captivating curves hugged by silky sheets.
If had lips, he'd have licked them.
