She didn’t know what to say to him.If she looked down, she might bring the direction of the conversation to the fact his ...dick was hard.Not that she knew if it stood out against his pants.This was just too much.

“Uh, how are you?”she asked.

“I’m good.You?”

“I’m ...great.”She offered him a smile.

They were going around in circles.

“I need to pee,” she said.

“Right, right.I guess we use cover around us, and some of these leaves, which might help.”

She chuckled.“That is a good idea.Such a great idea.”And she was reaching.

They turned their backs on each other, and Calliope found a spot.This was insane.She couldn’t believe she was using the great outdoors as a bathroom.It was odd, but a small bucket of water appeared, and she knew it was there for her to wash her hands.

“Okay, manifestation,” she said.“This is pretty neat.”

She couldn’t deny how cool that was.Also, a toothbrush, toothpaste, and even a comb, and some deodorant appeared.Now, this was just plain creepy, but she was not about to say that to the ...magic apparatus.If they wanted to appear out of thin air, then so be it.

Once she had washed herself as best she could, brushed her teeth, and even combed her hair, she felt good.Alive.Like herself.

As if by magic, her clothes changed as well.She was still in jeans and a shirt, but this time, the shirt was not thick, and she was wearing a vest.

“Oh,” she said.

Stepping out from beyond her cover, she found Jaxson standing near a fire.

“Did you make this?”she asked.

He wasn’t wearing a shirt, and his jeans were riding low, showcasing his body.A body she hadn’t seen in a very long time.

“I came back and here it was,” he said.“I guess we did good, and we get to eat.There is bacon and sausage, eggs, and even some tomatoes.”

“That sounds good.So, uh, after, you know, you used the bathroom, did water and stuff appear?”she asked.

“Yeah, they did.”

“Thank you.I thought I might be going a little crazy, but it’s nice to know this place is providing everything.Even the change of clothes.”She picked at the vest top she was wearing.

“Yeah, I’m not sure I’m liking this change,” Jaxson said.

“Where is your shirt?”she asked.

“I wasn’t given one.”

“And I was given this vest top.Okay, so I guess today it’s going to be hot?”Calliope didn’t even need to take a second guess, as the heat was already rising.“They do know I am human, right?”

“Yeah, they know.”

“So, what do we think this change of temperature is all about?”

He shrugged.“I guess the heat gets to a lot of people.They either make sound decisions, or bad ones, or ...you know...”

“Sexy ones?”Calliope asked.

Jaxson nodded.
