Once I beat all of them, the air elemental looked impressed. I then helped my vanquished rivals up to their feet. They were just whelps after all. Rubbing them all on their backs and saying some nice things about them seemed to get a bit of their ego back. I then went to the air elemental. "Will you reward me now!?" I asked him. He said "It clearly was not that difficult than you. I guess that you deserve a small token though." He stood up and gave me a lick on the cheek. He then blew on it. It felt nice and tingly on my skin. He looked really smug. I did not get it. I moved over to Myles and Kyle and pulled them into a huddle. "What did he just do to me? Is that a good sign or something!?" I whispered to them quietly. I needed to know how to respond to it. They both looked shocked themselves. Myles said "He exchanged wind with you. That's a very intimate gesture." "It's really special as it was with a warrior. They all are extremely hard to impress because they are so strong and spend time pursuing chivalric deeds." Kyle said. "Seriously?" I asked. They both nodded their heads. "What should I do!?"
I asked because I was still clueless about the Elemental Air Plane culture. Myles said "You should go exchange wind with him as well." "Wait. Do I just blow on his face or something?" I asked in confusion. They did not know what to do either. If I was a fellow air elemental NPC, I would instinctually know what to do. They knew, but they did not know how it would translate on an incubus. I just had to wing it. I walked over to him and said "Thank you for that. Let me reciprocate." I then blew into his ear. His whole body seemed to shudder. He looked really flustered as he jumped back. "You think that you can exchange wind with me out in public? You deviant!" he accused as he covered his ear. I must have gotten something right. "Well, you did it first. I guess the passion of a warrior is really different." He got even more flustered. That made him float 10 feet in the air. The air elemental seemed to be really embarrassed. I knew better than to push my luck. He did not come down until it was time to leave. I did not care that the others were bored. They lost our contests. There were penalties for losing.
Since these were competitions, they wanted something. I asked them what would be something they would want. They wanted to go shopping for some new clothes and jewelry. I nodded my head and we went to the more well to do stores. All of the money they brought in would be used on them. I could stomach it as an investment for the business. The other 3 were shit out of luck. Because 2 separate teams won in the first 2 rounds, I only had to give 6 of them the prize. Kyle and Myles needed a prize as well. They said they would settle for more gems to eat. They bought a new outfit each and some nice jewelry. I paid for it and then we left the store. We ran into the trio of Grulilan, Zaranarax and Vohrear. They wanted to know why they were still in the Material Plane. I told them about the contests in the park. They accused me of favoritism because I was not buying them trinkets. I was just stunned. I said "You have free reign of the city. They have to follow me. You can feed on your partners for as long as you keep them alive. If you want to switch places, you can." They left us all quickly.
