Liss was having fun with all these situations.
Levi made five panties in total. At first, he couldn't understand why she wanted to use those precious cotton strips to make clothes. But when explained where they went and what they guarded, he instantly started joining the strips to make underwear out of them.'
Both sides had difficulties understanding each other, and Liss was the only one who knew the reason. But the cultural differences weren't an impediment in their relationship, making Liss delighted.
Being respected and able to have healthy relationships for the first time arose warm feelings in her chest.
"Everyone must be busy. I'm going to the lake by myself, alright?"
Hearing those words, the orcs jolted up to stop the little female.
"Why would you go alone? It's dangerous."
Semion placed his hands on Liss's shoulders.
"How can it be dangerous? It's closer than the city."
Liss was set on not being a hindrance. Knowing that habits form from repeating actions, she decided that since she had her shoes and was able to walk without hurting herself, she would try to be more independent.
"But why would you go alone?"
"I can take care of these things. I need privacy "
Forcing her to do their bidding would only backfire, but leaving her alone meant that she would rely less on them or, even worse, find someone else.
No beast is stupid enough to roam around their territory, but stronger beasts can conceal their presence and therefore can appear.
"For the time being, I will still go with you. You can get lost.
When there is time, we will pave a way and place some tall rocks for protection."
Levi sat Liss in his arms, knowing that she had no choice but to comply given her demeanor. To Liss, the suggestion made sense, nodding her head in answer.
When Levi went to the witch doctor, he took the initiative to ask how to care for a female.
Levi carried his (assumed) mate to the lake, finding her fixation on baths funny, and repeated his actions from the other day.
This time he brought a comb and the hair flower he received from the witch doctor.
"Turn around."
Liss was used to hearing Levi's voice, but from time to time her body would react, sending shivers down her spine. In her eyes, Levi was the definition of a masculine man, and that was appealing to her.
Obediently, Liss turned around, feeling Levi's touch as he poured water over her head and massaged something on her scalp.
Levi's meticulous movements calmed Liss, making her close her eyes as she felt Levi comb her hair and spread the petals.
"Get up"
Liss thought that, at this point. Levi understood her shyness but complied because she was facing backward. Nonetheless, she covered her chest with her hands.
Liss thought of taking a quick bath as it was early in the morning, but Levi was taking his sweet time. The morning breeze kept hitting the girl's wet body, dropping her body temperature and making her tremble, feeling cold.
Levi noticed the change and halted his movements.
"Are you cold?"
"Yes"
Levi hastily left the lake and held open the white hide, encouraging the female to leave the lake.
"Levi, you have to close your eyes"
Letting a sigh leave his lips, Levi complied with his bunny's demands. When he sensed that the female was within his grasp, he wrapped her with the hide and lifted her.
Levi walked towards the stone and placed the female on top of it. This time Liss brought her clothes to change before heading back.
"Turn around, please"
The clothes available were simple, and the dressing process was faster than usual. Ready to go, Liss took a step, ready to return to their house just to be raised from the ground into Levi's arms.
Looking up, Liss saw the same old expressionless statue facing ahead without saying a word.
'Resisting in this situation is useless. I'm fed, clothed, and protected by him. If he wants to use me as a comforter, so be it.'

For some time, Liss stayed still, quietly sitting next to Levi as she watched Semion and Ishid cultivate.
Levi explained that cooking, cleaning, sewing, and all the house chores were done by the males and that they learned from a young age by watching their fathers or uncles.
Liss, who was groomed into a full-time maid and assistant on Earth, was restless at the prospect of becoming a houseplant.
And soon Liss realized the changes in the trio's measures.
-
'The food may be bland but is well cooked. Semion, like clockwork, would feed me and, when needed, take me to the sandbox, which is their bathroom.
Semion, unlike Levi, is more flexible and always gives me privacy.
Levi made all my clothes and insisted on assisting me in bathing.
When I tried to walk around, he would either pick me up or keep his hand on me, like walking a pet.
Ishid is the easiest to deal with, he would pass the day cultivating his strength, and when it was time to sleep, he calls me to sleep with him, which isn't a problem, as he always slept in his beast form.'

At first, the unwritten rule that, to survive, a female needed a mate scared Liss. She wasn't a prude, but the idea of having her first experience with a random guy was pretty disappointing.
If the alien was just a little dumb, she wouldn't have seen through Levi and Semion's hidden desires, though apparent they never crossed any lines, and to Liss that was enough.
She surrendered to their extreme babysitting in a way to better understand them, going as far as to get ready if she needed to accept them.
