As the sounds crept closer, I reached for my pants.
Something big slammed into the shelter hard enough to make the whole thing fold over on itself, tangling us in the wreckage.
"Nope," I said, grabbing my spear instead. "Guess my dick's fighting today too."
I crawled out from under the broken frame, dragging a strip of torn blanket off my shoulder as cold night air slapped every part of me I would have preferred covered. "Damn, you're… big?"
The girls forced their way out behind me, all three naked, tired, and somehow still more ready for a fight than I was with a weapon in my hand. Reika's tails puffed out. Celeste snatched her bow from the wreckage with a look on her face that promised violence. Valka ripped her chain free with a sharp metal clash that cut straight through the wet humming noise coming from the monsters.
