Empera needs to burn off some extra energy because she has been training all day. Thank goodness Joss is doing laps in the local park. They withdraw to a wooded area close by, where Joss displays a tree trunk of his own. Empera is only able to withstand the full force of Joss's powerful shaft because of her extraordinary level of physical fitness. He drives it deep into her tunnel behind the back door, where she is waiting for him, and soon the birds in the trees can all hear her happy cries.
