-Linia's POV-
"Well I didn't expect that we'll stay out this long" Mom asked us as she watched the flame slowly cook our meal
"I don't mind" I answered as I ate some fish
Luna was just beside me eating some fish
It was already way past lunchtime as we enjoyed our time alone talking together. Since we were pretty famished, Mom just decided to catch some fish in the lake before going into somewhere with shade as we cook it. She seemed pretty knowledgeable about outdoor stuff so I had trust on the fish's taste.
I thought back to our conversation and listening to Mom talk about relationships like it was my first time hearing about it, I didn't know what kind of face I was supposed to put on.
There was a lot of things that I expected would be happening when Mom called me out here telling me to wait until Lith was gone. I thought maybe I'll get interrogated or scolded, but it definitely never crossed my mind that Mom would suddenly talk to me about adult matters.
I felt that I've gotten some insights on Mom's opinions. The first thing I noticed was that, Mom thinks that we want to separate as soon as possible from her, which couldn't be any further from the truth. I love my family, and I would love to stay with them as much as possible. I just wanted to help Mom and i am sure Luna also wants the same, and unlike Lith , the only thing I'm good at is fighting and Luna is good at magic so we didn't have much career choices.
Regarding her explaining about sex, she probably thought it was embarrassing explaining such things, but I'm even more embarrassed because let alone knowing those things, I've already done those myself. Hearing my gentle mother speaking words like 'penis' or 'vagina' so crudely, was quite the surreal experience. She even did the inserting motions with her fingers and I just tried so hard not to laugh at how cute and awkward she looked when she explained them.
Still, there were new things I learned about, apparently people can also have dreams about their erotic fantasies. I don't know since I never got one. The closest thing I had to what she called a 'wet dream', was a faint recollection of us three travelling to some unknown lands. Which is barely erotic, but definitely is a fantasy of mine.
I also learned that boys too experience that blissful feeling when their private parts get touched. Apparently a lot of boys will probably approach us hoping they can bed us as well. Of course, I'm not interested in them neither Luna , what caught my attention instead was that boys can get 'excited' pretty easily.
Before I had some reservations, because I thought I was the only one having fun and I didn't want to leave him out but it turns he's also feeling it himself. It's pretty flattering, knowing that I was able to bring him to his climax multiple times and I wasn't even trying back then.
"Linia ?" I head Mom's voice
"Eh?"
"You're spacing out" Mom explained
"Oh did I? My bad... "
" I think it's about time we go home now." Luna said as she looked up to the Sun
"Yeah, it's already afternoon and Lith should finish his lessons around this time" Mom agreed
I then had a thought. Mom probably told us all about this despite finding out that we potentially might have 'feelings' towards our brother since she's worried about us once we start living at the city. A smile unknowingly formed at my lips as I thought about my Mother's love for us .
It further strengthened my resolve of not letting myself become the reason for her disappointment. I didn't notice it but I'm almost the same height as her Luna is slightly small. Before mom seemed to be this person free of all weaknesses, steadfast and firm in her place. But now I can see her limits as well, she's just as much of a person as we are .
"Mom, why not have me cook with you later tonight?" I said as I went up to her
"Me to i also want to cook with you mom"
"Later? Sure I don't mind" momsaid as she thought about it
However as we were walking home I then thought to myself-
'Oh shit'
Since Mom decided to talk to us about it because she's worried about what could potentially happen to me if I go in the city so clueless and naive, then she's probably worried as well about Lith. So there's a chance that she'll decide to talk to him about it.
"Mom, are you planning to tell this to Lith as well?" I asked
"Hm?" Mom had a strange reaction when she heard my question
"O-of course, I'm worried as well that he'll get taken advantage of" Mom said
'Fair point' I thought to myself, however what I was worried about is if Lith suddenly slips. I don't have a sliver of trust at all when it comes to Lith 's lying abilities, so I had to do something Else before Mom find out about what we did.
"Uhmm... Mom since I already understood it, why not have me explain it to to him instead?" I suggested
"Since we're the same age, we can probably relate to him more and it will be less awkward than having you do it" I explained
"Yes mom we will tell him properly"
"Was I awkward?" Mom looked like she just took a blow
"NO! I jus-" I hastily tried to correct my mistake
"It's fine, but this is something I must do" Mom seemed really firm on her decision
I can't be too forceful or Mom will notice something strange, so in the end I had to think up of other things. I think Mom will probably do it when it's just the two of them, so I had to plan around that.
I can't delay it by having Lith sleep at my room. Mom already kind of forbid that, plus if I were to suddenly make Lith sleep in my room right after she taught me about sex then I can just imagine what would go through Mother's head.
'Just when I planned to do other things.' I complained as I thought about the other things I was gonna do today. In the end, I couldn't come up with a proper solution just yet.
When we finally reached home, I made some sandwich and took some fruits before I sneakily took out the wine that my brother stole from those humans and place them all in a wooden basket before heading out.
As I was walking with Luna we met with our brother who just finished his lessons.
"Lith!" I called out to him
Noticing our presence, he quickly ran up to us as he asked what we were doing around this area.
"What are you two doing here Sis?"
"Well, we have to buy some things and also-" I covered my mouth as I lowered my voice
"Mom decided to talk to ys about 'adult stuff', you know them right?" I told him
"The one we did the other day?" he asked with slightly red face
"Un, make sure you don't show any hints that you already know about it okay?" Luna warned him
"Yeah act like you didn't knew about them before ok " i said
we are REALLY worried that he'll accidentally leak our secret to Mom. I'm confident in my and Lun's ability to keep it a secret, but I don't have any confidence whatsoever in him being able to lie to Mom. There were multiple times we got screwed over because we put our faith in his lying abilities.
There was that one time, we decided to spar and I accidentally hit him too hard. Of course we both agreed, that we should keep it a secret. But Mom found out anyway, because he said that he got his wounds from a 'magical beast' when we know that there is none in the vicinity. So Mom obviously got angry and kept a closer watch whenever we 'head out'.
"Just... act like you don't know anything. Don't laugh or make any weird faces, okay?" Luna instructed him
"Act surprised when she tells you about sexual stuff, and most importantly" I said
"Please, don't laugh at her weird analogies okay? She thinks you don't know about it yet, so she comes up with those just to give you a rough idea." I warned him
"Oh... Okay, I understand" he nodded in agreement
Though I'm still not sure whether he can actually pull it off, we'll still probably have to do something about it. we'll try to delay it for a few days or maybe weeks, so we can rehearse him on what he needs to say.
"Goodbye! Mom and I will be cooking later so you should wait for it" I told him as he walked off
"See you two , later as well. I'm looking forward to it" he waved back
After he was gone, I then finally went towards a certain shop.
"Coming in~" I said as I entered, a bell rung as I opened the door
