Breeding Plan, a story of #Addergoole for the May Giraffe Call

[aldersprig]

For clare_dragonfly's Prompt.

Addergoole has a landing page here.


Ambrus brought sandwiches to the table, listening as Regine and her brother pored over her charts and notes.

"The idea, in each case, is to find individuals who are, although half-breeds, exemplary of certain characteristics of each 'breed.'" Regine pointed at a series of symbols on one page. "Thank you, Ambrus. Falk, don't forget to eat. So we have, for instance, this gentleman..."

"You can hardly call him that."

"I need his services. I will call him whatever it suits him to be called. His Name is 'The Traveling Salesman,' and it appears that he has made a life and a reputation of, ah..."


"Ah, indeed." Ambrus might not be able to read much off of his mistress, but her brother was not as blank. He was embarrassed, and mildly titillated.

"Housewife's helper?" Ambrus offered his former Master's term.

"Exactly, thank you, Ambrus. Yes. He's a very popular salesman on his route, I've been told."

"What, exactly, does he sell?" Falk scrambled for safe conversational footing and found quicksand.

"Ah, marital aids, among other things. I'm not certain he bothers with a pitch or a product, these days."

"And he is..."

"...exemplary of certain Daeva traits."

"Traits you want to replicate?" Falk was, Ambrus was learning, more than a bit of a prude. He sat down to watch the show with a half a sandwich.

"Well, yes." Regine deigned to show an emotion - amusement. "I'd say that would be a very useful trait for our project, if it breeds true."

"And... Jezebel, Regine? I met her last night at Lady Maureen's. She's..."

"Exactly what we're looking for. She will have no problem spreading her legs for money, after all."

"And so you want to breed the child of a whore and a gigolo."

"I'd be careful where you use those words. You might offend somebody. Yes. The gigolo and several different women of negotiable virtue, as well as... have you met Aza?"

"Aza?" Falk pursed his lips. Ambrus smiled around his sandwich. He'd met Aza. She was a beautiful, quiet, artistic woman - a florist and a painter. "She seems shy" was Falk's opinion.

"She is an artist. I believe their child will be something special." Regine smiled at her charts. "But I believe many of these children will be something very special. I am eager to see how they turn out."

Edited to add: I meant to put a footnote on here and then I forgot.

Jamian of Addergoole is Aza's son by the Travelling Salesman. Ivette is his daughter by Lady Maureen; Joff is his son by Jezebel.

Eee, yay ♥ Wow, did I know that those three had the same dad before? I don't think I did. Giggling at "Traveling Salesman" and at Regine telling Falk to eat! XD

I don't know! I don't tend to advertise the really incestuous stuff in Ag.

[clare_dragonfly]

But incest is fun! Besides, it's not like any of those are married or having kids together ;) (or are they? I suppose Joff and Ivette could be having a kid and I wouldn't know it, though seeing as they're both Kept it seems unlikely.

[aldersprig]

Joff and Ivette aren't married but they have a lot of sex in the future. ;-D

[clare_dragonfly]

Yay! They are both good at it, so they should XD

[aldersprig]

*Grin* have you read the fic where Joff is Keeping Ivette?

[clare_dragonfly]

Hmm... I'm not sure! I don't think so but you write a lot of stories ;)

[aldersprig]

It's Love and Bindings and Shoes, Earrings, Boi in Tales for the Sugar Cat.

[clare_dragonfly]

Hmm, the second one sounds familiar so I might have been there for the livewrite. But I haven't read the rest of Tales for the Sugar Cat yet.
