Like all of the craft workers in the market, Hilary had been issued with special nanites that could mark an item as not to be replicated. She kept a c...reful track of the patterns in her replicator, deleting the masters once she had completed each limited edition set."Can I have this one please mama Jane?" Alice asked, holding up a lurid green and yellow plastic bangle."No, I'm sorry Alice," Jane said, "If we get you something then we'll have to get Sam, Julie, Bob, Charlie, Dawn and the twins. “Ok,” Laurie says, and smiles for the first time, “sounds like a plan. Thank you, Ellie.” “It’s nothing,” I laugh, shaking my hand in dismissal, “you two get dressed, and come when I call for you. This’ll all blow over in a week at the most.” I get off the bed, making a show of stretching and shifting my hips for the Bakers. I glance casually over my shoulder, and smile when I see them both gawking; it seems Laurie has developed quite the taste for the fairer sex. I slip on one of her. It was just like Sia to interrogate me, but sex added to the equation brought a rather interesting dimension. “Like anything that causes pain or humiliation.”I expected her to probe for clarification until I was stripped bare of any obfuscation. Clearly, I still had a lot to learn about her mental wiring.She took a sniff of the veal, nodded in satisfaction - it passed her demanding scent test - and took a bite. Looking up at me, smiling while chewing, eyes twinkling with mischief, she poked her. Since Catla had done the most trotting by far she agreed at once, and I felt like Christmas had come early this year.I spent the rest of the afternoon with them going through the thinnest tanned deerskin they had among the things they brought back from the camp. The material seemed like it was created for just the tasks I had in mind. I did my best to show them how to make small halter-tops out of the chamois like leather.Of course it required I repeatedly handle their breasts while I showed.
