Linked Emotions, A Test and Returning to the Pond.

Kella moved her mana in Titanya's body and Titanya's mana as well. "Why are you so surprised by it?"

Kella watched with red cheeks as the Tanya screamed in surprise at the moving mana in her. "It feels r-really good." Titanya said then moaned in a relief of tension.

"Should I keep going or stop?" Kella asked and stopped moving her mana to not do something against her will.

"Why did you even start doing this?" Titanya asked timidly.

"To improve our Physique." Kella Said thinking that she might of gone a bit far without telling her why she did that.

"why did you have to do it with me? and I thought it would be painful not... this good." Titanya mumbled at the end.

"Maybe you didn't read it's description then?" Kella said

"No I haven't had the chance to." Titanya said which made Kella let go of one hand and say "go ahead and check it. I made a powerful but... weird skill."

Titanya opened her status and remembered how much Kella gave her then saw the skill named synchronized mana pulse. "You made a max skill?!" Titanya cried out.

"Yep." Kella Said not knowing what that implies.

"Do you not understand what that means?" Titanya asked at the lackluster response.

"Not really." Kella replied.

"Max skills are the best form of whatever evolution line they're a part of and that means you made the the best version currently known by the status." Titanya inadvertently praised Kella.

"So they can still be evolved at that point?" Kella pondered.

"I think so." Titanya said confused her response.

"Neat... anyway click it." Kella Said not really caring about that she made a max skill.

Titanya was a bit frustrated about Kella's response to her praise but clicked it still.

"what the hell did you make?" Titanya mumbled.

"A skill that needs a partner. I would be upset about needing another person but..." Kella Said then whispered in Titanya's ear. "I have someone who would never leave me right?"

Titanya gripped Kella's hands tightly "Of course, let's get stronger."

Kella smiled then started moving mana in loop with all of their mana with Kella's right hand as the output and her left hand as the input.

It was very hard to keep focus when you're given the feeling of a full body deep tissue massage every second but they got used to being incredibly relaxed during the process because otherwise it would start to hurt.

They avoided their most sensitive parts at Kella recommendation with the reasoning that she didn't want their 1st time with that feeling in a dungeon she got drugged in.

Kella could feel the embarrassment and excitement from Titanya from bringing up their 1st time and Titanya could feel affection and curiosity from Kella from the excitement Titanya felt.

*Ding* <Strength has increased by 60>

Feeling the others emotions was strange, it flowed into you like a river. Flowing smoothly with similar emotions and splashing with the conflicting emotions.

Titanya felt a combination of affection, curiosity, amusement and optimism flow Into her as Titanya felt these she started to notice the deep seeded emotions under the surface of the 'river' That was of calmness, acceptance, depression, self loathing, boredom and loneliness.

'What kind life did you have?' Titanya felt these emotions like a smooth river that wasn't rough on her.

Titanya started to feel sadness from Kella "What's wrong?" Titanya asked forgetting that her emotions were being shared as well.

"You had a really hard life didn't you?" Kella was splashed with a combination of trepidation, happiness, excitement, obsession, hope and satisfaction then She was flooded with Titanya's deep seeded emotions of resentment, envy, sadness, frustration, anxiety, wariness and longing.

*Ding* <Agility has increased by 70>

"I..." Titanya wasn't sure how to respond the question.

"You don't need to answer. let's just try to make it better." Kella didn't say anything after that but Titanya's feelings of obsession grew after that. 'I'm digging my own grave...' Kella thought with a pained smile.

*Ding* <Dexterity has increased by 50>

Titanya loved feeling Kella's emotions it made her feel like this was best you could ever feel on the other hand Kella was having a hard time dealing with Titanya's aggressive emotions.

"Let's stop here." Kella started moving her mana in Titanya's body to hers and moving Titanya's mana in her body to Titanya.

"Do we really need to stop?" Titanya gripped Kella's hands tightly addicted to the feeling.

Kella felt Titanya trying to keep the process going but couldn't overpower her own control over mana.

"If you like it that much let's get out of this dungeon soon then we can do it again." Kella Teased Titanya while seeing her upset about stopping. 'I'm sorry Tanya, I can't keep going for any longer.' Kella apologized internally.

'I really need to help with her life before we do that again otherwise I'll go insane.' Kella felt like she was standing under a waterfall that covered her in mostly negative emotions.

Titanya stopped her resistance and Started assisting her in stopping and she slowly stopped feeling the shared emotions she was left alone with her own emotions again.

Kella saw Titanya looking desperate then hugged her softly. "You can't get addicted to that because you can't improve your own feelings if you focus on mine." Kella didn't want her to become addicted to feeling someone else's emotions.

"But I... Alright I understand." Titanya was ashamed of herself for wanting to run away from herself.

Kella stopped hugging and looked in her ruby like eyes. "I'm not saying you can't like it. you just need to make it so you don't make me suffer from it." Kella looked away and started fluffing Titanya's ears as a palette cleanser. 'Their so soft, I'm so happy she's a beastkin too.'

Titanya shivered from the feeling then realized what she said. "I made you suffer?" She looked at Kella who was currently rubbing her ears.

"Your emotions are very strong." Kella Said looking at Titanya who was confused.

"Did you forget that I was feeling your emotions too?" Kella said tilting her head continuing to rub Titanya's ears the whole time.

Titanya realized that the emotions she was running from feeling, Kella was feeling at the same time.

Titanya looked worried at Kella. "are you okay? We did that for 2 and a half hours." Kella stopped rubbing Titanya's ears and jumped up from the mattress.

"I stopped when I couldn't handle it. besides you probably needed to know what you could feel like when we're not syncing in the future." Kella started making a large pocket.

Titanya felt even more grateful that Kella was the one who saved her. "Why are you making a pocket dimension?" She got off the mattress at this point.

Titanya watched Kella cut the mattress in half with her mana then shove it In the pocket dimension. "I guess that answers my question."

The pocket Collapsed into cosmic dust that flowed back into Kella's body. 'That's so pretty...' Titanya thought then remembered how rare Space affinity is. 'should tell her to careful about... a lot of things to be honest.'

"Hey Kelly." "Yea Tanya?" "You need to be careful about mana pulse, mana infusing and your affinity. If the wrong people figure out about these you would probably be kidnapped and turned into a slave especially for mana pulse." Titanya said at a fast pace.

"I assumed as much. let's get going now, Riko you too." Riko got up and followed them happy that she could move around again.

"Why are we walking in this direction?" Titanya asked while massaging Kella's tail during the walk as a apology for making her suffer. 'Why does this always feel so soft?'

"we're picking up some things I left by the exit... oh right there, you're really good at this." Kella squirmed in Delight as she felt Titanta massaging her tail.

"There it is." Titanya stopped massaging Kella's tail and pointed out a pile of stuff on the ground. "Yep we'll grab this stuff and start our killing slimes." Kella shoveled everything except the food in a pocket.

Kella held up a piece of jerky like substance. "Are these any good?" Titanya Shook her head violently "No that's the cheapest rations you could ever get. they taste like you're eating garbage, even worse than garbage actually. trust me I know."

Listening to Titanya's rant about the rations Kella tossed them at Riko who snapped them up. "Well we don't need to eat so I'd rather not eat something worse then garbage."

Riko started to throw up rations Kella tossed her. "Oh its so bad even a slime can't eat it." Kella felt bad about giving Riko food poisoning.

"Welp let's get the slimes. at the same time I'll help you with hmmmm." Kella looked at Titanya then saw the bow and arrows. "oh I know I'll teach you how coat arrows in mana and how to you make arrows you can fire out of mana."

Titanya took out her bow and nodded happily. "Okay, I'll try my best!"

-15 minutes later~

"How much more is there?" "You learned the basics now let's try to make multiple at once and launch them once... Actually that gives me a idea, could you hand me your bow?"

Titanya handed Kella her bow and watched as 3 arrows appeared above Kella as she pulled the empty string. Kella let the string go the arrows flew towards a single tree. *thu-thu-thunk*

Kella handed the bow back with a smile. Titanya stared in disbelief. "Would you like to learn that?" Titanya nodded slowly. Kella chuckled at her response.

"What I did was connect the arrows with a thin thread of mana to the bow string that it let act as if they all were on the string at once and brake the thread after its launched or maybe you could make them curve midair if you didn't." Kella started explaining what and how to improve what she did. 'wow she's completely different when she starts explaining something.' Titanya started attempting to recreate what Kella showed her.

Kella Stopped explaining and gave a smile that made Titanya and Riko shudder. "Oh yeah there will be a test at the end and we won't leave until you pass it."

"A test, what kind of test?" Titanya asked curious about what she's planning.

"Just a test so I don't have to worry about you when I'm not around." Kella Said while hoping this goes well. "I know you can do it Tanya."

-12 hours later~

Kella was currently being chased by 15 slime wolves.

"Hey Tanya~ I got a present for youuu." Kella playfully said while jogging towards Titanya who was pulling a bow string back as 6 arrows formed around her.

'Why always so many Kelly!' Titanya complained internally. this had been the 6th time she's done this and it's only gotten harder each time.

She let go of the bow string and launched the arrows. Kella watched as the arrows went through wolves and then curve to hit another leaving 3 left.

Titanya quickly pulled 3 arrows out of her quiver with them in between her fingers and coated the arrowheads in mana then let them go in quick succession nailing the 3 wolves.

"Congratulations you passed my test Tanya!" Kella Said jumping onto Titanya and wrapping her arms around Titanya's neck.

"I did? I did!" Titanya cried out excitedly and hugged Kella back. "I finally did it!"

Titanya had never done something like this before. she wasn't sure why she was so happy. "I didn't save the world so why am I so happy?"

Kella laughed at her question. "Because you did something difficult to meet my expectations my silly fox."

"Meet your expectations... Your the best Kelly." Titanya mumbled then hugged her tighter.

After 5 minutes of hugging they talked about Titanya's level. "What level are you now?" "14." "You know you should put your stat points in INT right?" "Yep because increasing INT increases the stat cap for the others right?" "Yep my Tanya is very smart."

Kella rubbed her face into Titanya's tail. "do you like my tail?" "Yep, it's the best." Titanya was rubbing her face against Kella's tail. "But your tail is the best." "I guess we'll have to agree to disagree here." Kella and Titanya started to giggle before calming down.

"let's kill the boss and leave this place." Kella Said then thought about something. "Riko how much can you shrink?" Kella and Titanya watched Riko shrink to the size of a basket ball.

They whispered to each other so Riko didn't hear. "We haven't checked how soft her fur is yet." "You're right let's do it after we get out."

"Let's do that." The Trio made their way to the center after they made the plan of assaulting Riko to see how soft her fur is.

"Is that a pond?" Titanya asked looking at a dark blue pond.

"Looks like one but I believe that's the boss." Kella answered.

"Really now, how do you know?" Titanya asked while checking her bow to see if anything was wrong with it before Going into what might be a difficult fight.

"It launched a slime at me at a very high speeds." Kella answered looking over to Riko who was pacing.

"What's up Rico?" Rico asked to fight the boss alone to show that she's worth something and do something besides stand around.

"Don't get yourself killed, that's all I ask." Riko was happy she got permission and started moving towards the pond boss.

"Riko wants to fight the boss alone so take a seat." Kella Said to Titanya then sat down.

"Now that I think about I haven't even seen her fight yet let's see how she does" Titanya stated and sat down as Rico walked towards the pond. the pond slowly changed shape into the shape of a massive massive bear.

"Annnd fight!" Kella Announced causing Rico and the pond baer to run at each other.
