"Wow, it's such a great honour to meet you again, Diva Lorelie." A beautiful female Catonian who had long hair, ears and tail, all of which were mainly white, though had the occasional black part as well as bright blue eyes, said with a huge smile as she enthusiastically shook Lorelie's hand.
"It's nice to see you again, Eri," Lorelie replied with her own smile, though you could see she was slightly uncomfortable because of Eri's enthusiastic handshake.
"Wow, such beautiful hair," Tephe said, making Eri blush slightly and smile even more.
"Wow, an actual Nekojin," Adam said as he admired the cat girl's ears and tail.
"Nekojin?" Stacey asked curiously.
"It's what people of Earth call cat-people," Adam replied.
"Cat?" Stacey asked again.
"It's easier to show you," Adam replied before he accessed his uniband and brought up the image of a house cat to show the girls, who all looked at it curiously, including Eri.
"There are many different breeds of cat on Earth, some domesticated ones that Earthlings keep as pets like this one, while others are wild predators that are known as large cats like this one," Adam explained as he changed the image to show a leopard standing on the branch of a tree.
"Nekojin or cat-people get their name because they are humans with cat ears and a tail."
"There is definitely a resemblance in the ears and tail," Stacey remarked as she looked back and forth between Eri and the cat image Adam had displayed.
"Have Earthlings come up with a name for every animal-human combination?" Rowena asked with a smirk.
"No, only the popular ones, cats are one of the most popular animals on Earth after all, and in some religions they are worshipped as deities."
"There you go, Eri, head to Earth in the future and you will be worshipped like a goddess," Lorelie said with a smile.
"Thanks, but I have no interest in being a goddess," Eri replied with an embarrassed smile.
"Still, it's unusual to find a Catonian mixed-breed," Rowena remarked as she studied Eri closely, making the young Catonian slightly nervous.
"Catonian mixed-breed? Why is that rare?" Adam asked curiously.
"While the different Catonian subspecies are generally friendly towards one another, they hardly ever mate with anyone outside their own subspecies. If I had to guess, I would say our young Eri here is part Tigressa because of her white and black hair and part Panthera because of her bright blue eyes."
"That's right," Eri replied with a smile, though anyone could see that the smile was now forced and not a natural one.
"I seem to have struck a sore spot, my apologies," Rowena said as she noticed Eri's response.
"No need to apologise, Diva Rowena, there was no way for you to know," Eri replied with a more natural smile this time.
"Shall we change the subject since it is apparent that this topic is making Eri uncomfortable?" Lorelie suggested before continuing, "Let me do the introductions."
"You, of course, know Rowena."
"It's an honour to meet you, Diva Rowena. I'm a huge fan," Eri said now with her happy smile back.
"Just not as big a fan as you are with Lorelie?" Rowena teased as she showed her signature smirk, making Eri unsure of how to respond.
"Ignore her," Lorelie suggested before continuing, "This is Rowena's granddaughter, Stacey."
"Hey Eri," Stacey said with a small wave.
"Hi, Stacey," Eri replied.
"This is Tephe."
"Hey Eri, I'm Tephe, it's nice to meet you," Tephe said as she grabbed Eri's hand and gave it an enthusiastic shake like Eri had given Lorelie.
"Errr, hi Tephe," Eri replied again, not sure how to respond.
"Why are you shaking her hand like that, Tephe?" Lorelie asked curiously.
"This is how Eri greeted you, so I figured that was the normal way Catonians greeted other people," Tephe replied innocently while tilting her head in confusion.
"Haha, silly girl, Eri just greeted Lorelie like that because she's a huge fan and was happy to see her," Rowena explained while laughing and patting Tephe on the head.
"Oh," Tephe said as she lowered her head slightly in embarrassment.
Lorelie gave Tephe a slight smile of amusement before turning to Adam and saying, "Finally, this is Adam."
"Your boyfriend and bodyguard," Eri remarked as she inspected Adam closely from head to toe.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Eri and thank you in advance for all the help you will provide in the coming days and weeks," Adam said.
"Don't mention it, I'm more than happy to be Diva Lorelie's chaperone," Eri replied happily, though her eyes kept studying Adam for a few more moments, something the other women picked up on.
"So, Eri, what can you tell us about where the opening ceremony and the charity match will take place?" Adam asked.
"The main ceremony will take place in the Ramu Arena, which is the largest arena on Felinia Seven, the management or owners of which will no doubt approach Diva Lorelie over the coming days in an attempt to have her perform her concert there."
"Is there any particular reason she shouldn't hold one of her concerts there?" Adam asked curiously.
"I suppose that depends on whether you like Taiki or not," Eri replied with a knowing smirk.
"Who?" Adam asked in confusion, a look shared by Tephe.
However, Lorelie, Rowena and both sighed, and Stacey said, "Please don't tell me he owns it."
"Well, not him but his mother," Eri replied.
"Who?" Adam asked again as his and Tephe's confusion increased.
"Prime," Stacey replied before continuing," Prime's real name is Taiki."
"You're shitting me?" Adam asked in surprise.
"I'm assuming that's another way of saying, 'you're kidding me', and I'm not," Eri replied.
"Oh lord, I just can't seem to escape this guy, he's like an unwanted stalker," Adam groaned.
"Hehe, fortunately for you, he's into women and not men, though from what I hear, he's a bit of a letdown." Eri giggled before saying.
"When you say let down, you mean?" Rowena asked with a smirk.
"Indeed, rumour has it his equipment is severely lacking; it wouldn't be so bad if he knew how to use it or could satisfy in other ways, but he's got such a big ego he doesn't think he needs to.
It's almost as if he thinks he's the creator's gift to women." Eri explained with a look of disgust.
"You know he's going to try and get with your women, right?" Rowena asked as she shot Adam her signature smirk.
"You seem to be forgetting that he will also try to get with you," Adam replied with his own smirk.
"Haha, I'm afraid that's where you're wrong, my young friend. Prime did indeed try that in the past, but he quickly gave up when I threatened to use my heel to make him incapable of siring any cubs."
"Oh shit," Adam replied as he visibly winced
"I approve, grandmother," Stacey said as she gave Rowena a thumbs-up.
"How can your heel make him unable to sire cubs?" Tephe asked curiously.
"I will explain later, Tephe," Lorelie said as she patted Tephe's head.
"Strange that I never heard," Eri remarked.
"It's not that surprising. I doubt he would want it broadcast around after all." Rowena replied.
"Good point, well, going back to the original topic. While the Ramu Arena is hosting the opening ceremony, the charity match is taking place in space above the planet."
"I'm guessing it's going to be normal battle royal style they always run with?" Rowena asked.
"Aparently not, while they haven't given any information because they want it to be a surprise, they decided to announce that the charity match will not follow the standard battle royal style like previous ones."
"Oh? I wonder why they changed it?"
"It's apparently an attempt to bring in new viewers. If it's successful, they're planning to introduce it as a new event in the main competition."
"Unfortunately, that means Adam can't prepare for the competition since he doesn't know what it involves," Stacey stated.
"True, but it also means that the other competitors won't be able to plan either," Lorelie stated.
"Fair point," Stacey conceded.

"Who's a good little boy?" A stunningly beautiful female Succuba with long pink hair, eyes, horns and a long thin black tail asked as she looked down at the naked male Dwarfinian who was licking her boot.
"I am Mistress Aphrodite," The Dwarfinian replied as he looked at Aphrodite with lust.
"Did I say you could use my name?" Aphrodite asked with a dark smirk as she gently kicked the Dwarfinian's erect cock with the tip of her boot.
"No, Mistress," The Dwarfinian replied while shivering with ecstasy as he felt the slight pain in his cock.
"Did I say you could look up at me with that disgusting look in your eyes?" Aphrodite asked as she gave his cock another more forceful kick.
"No, Mistress," The Dwarfinian replied as he shivered even more and quickly looked away.
"Did I say you could stop licking my foot?" Aphrodite asked as she pressed the sole of her boot down on his cock until it pressed against the floor, causing him to both wince in pain and pleasure at the feeling of her stepping on his cock.
