Nymph interlude (Afina)

[Anastasia]

Finding Bubbles isn't hard. Luck is with you - she's actually in her room. The room's full of clothes on display, as well as sewing supplies and some half finished pieces. She's wearing a simple green dress as she steps aside for you to enter.

"You're back," she praises, "How was your little walk on Ice's wild side, sweety?"

[Ebiris]

Afina's still in her frozen toga, since the idea was to come straight here to get 'warmed up' as it were. "You missed a fun trip," she says, stepping in and taking a brief look around at Bubbles' furnishings before looking up at the nymph herself. "Mirajane didn't find it very fun though, so if your luck ran more like hers perhaps it's best you gave it a miss. Still, I think you'd have liked Absolute Zero, once we got to the bottom it was quite the beautiful confluence of elements."

[Anastasia]

"Mmm, that does sound interesting if not for the dreadful dress code," Bubbles says, then smiles playfully, "Did you bring me back a souvenir by any chance?"

[Ebiris]

Mirajane was right! Unfortunately there was absolutely nothing for the taking while they were there. Which is a shame because Magmasoul had its share of treasures. Ice is clearly more ascetic than Fire. "Sorry but there was nothing there except ice and water," she says, smiling up at Bubbles nonetheless. "Instead I've brought you back a far more wondrous treasure than any mere bauble," she flourishes her hand a little before pointing at herself.

Well after getting shot down over and over when giving people a chance to see her naked and then having people doubt her killing prowess against Gathgorian her ego could do with a boost!

[Anastasia]

"Oh ho," Bubbles says, "Is your body worthy of not bringing a present? Confident, aren't you? I like it."

[Ebiris]

"I'm not some infatuated human, you know," Afina says, her smile widening a bit at the playful banter. "Having a fabulous and unique pixie like myself offering her attentions is worth more than any dragon's hoard!" With that proclamation she dramatically tosses her makeshift toga aside, ice crystals cracking and tinkling across it as it's ripped off to bare herself.

And even if she doesn't have giant boobs like Balyss and Hanna are obsessed with, her pale and ethereally graceful figure is nonetheless a work of art she can be proud of! Especially with those lovely colours dancing across it now and then. Oh! Was that hint of red across her chest the beginnings of an embarrassed flush? Only Afina knows for sure, and she's not telling!

[Anastasia]

Make a Charisma check, since you're trying pure force of personality here.

[Anastasia]

Ouch.

You get a look over, a little giggle escaping, one Bubbles hides with her hand. "Darling, you're pretty," she says, "But ah..." she gestures at her own chest.

[Ebiris]

Well that was the most demeaning giggle she's ever been subjected to. "What?" she asks, dramatic flourishes leaking out and her tone returning to its more typical bland (if nauseatingly cute) tenor as she realises this may have all been a terrible mistake. "I don't wear pads under my clothes," she reaches up to pat a hand over her bare chest, "So you can't be surprised. If you're not interested that's fine, I read too much into your flirting, that's all."

[Anastasia]

Bubbles shakes her head. "I thought you...well...sweety, I thought you strapped them down for speed or some such. If you were born like that, wouldn't you have had it fixed?" Bubbles gently smiles, "There's special ways to change that if you want to and have some money. You're beautiful," she says, "All like a rainbow, just that you surprised me."

[Ebiris]

Her brow twitches a little at that oh-so-gentle sympathy coming off in waves from the nymph. "I get a lot of comments about my figure from people who think they mean well, but I'm not self-conscious or ashamed at all. This is who I am," she says, walking over to recover her blanket-toga and tossing it back on. "But I still feel embarrassed enough about making a spectacle where it's not wanted, so lets pretend this all never happened?"

She knows the alter self spell, even if the last time she used it was... wow, way back when she fed Annalise that one time. It's been that long? She should retrain it for something more useful. Or use it more often to throw big boobs in people's faces if that's what they want so badly. Which they shouldn't! She's had plenty of lovers in the past that liked her figure just fine.

[Anastasia]

"You like being..." Bubbles blinks, face going completely slack. "But any nymph..."

After several long moments, "You really...oh sweetheart," she winces, "You aren't a nymph, of course. I'm sorry, all of that was uncalled for."

[Ebiris]

"Voluptuous and womanly may be the ideal for nymphs," Afina nods her head, marshalling up her dignity as she looks up at Bubbles. "It's attractive on you, too. But for we pixies it's most important to be delicate and cute!" she declares, voice rising a bit in passion as she clenches a tiny fist before her.

[Anastasia]

Bubbles goes over to her desk, taking a seat. She taps the desk before her, "You're right. Please come over here, Afina."
