Azia will... sort of help Rose.

"So... tell me more. How'd you make it over here?" Azia was trying her best not to grin. Her she was, drinking in the embarrassment of her best friend.

Her response was... worrying if nothing else. Shouldn't Azia be looking for a towel?

"Well... I had just got out of the shower... and all my towels were gone. Then I looked in my dresser, and everything else was missing." Rose explained, her face progressively turning more red.

"So you're naked? Like, completely naked?" Azia peeked her head over the hot tub.

Rose moved her hands to cover her intimates in a slight squirm. "Azia, you already know that!"

"I don't believe it, you made it all the way over here without a single thread?" Azia stated, again battling a giggle.

"There was a tablecloth they missed, it's ruined now. But that's not the point!" With the sounds of voices at the party nearby, Rose took a more urgent tone. "Do you know anyone here who might have taken my stuff? They might have took that spare key I gave you."

Azia loved the sight of her friend Rose, naked in the hot tub with that worried expression. She thought the sight was cute, and a bit ****. It was surprising that she even made it to this party. There was so much careful planning, and it was paying off.

"Gee Rose, I don't know who could have done that. But I think I can help you." Azia said. She did want to embarrass her friend, but she knew if she took it too far and Rose found out the truth, Azia probably wouldn't be able to call Rose a friend anymore. Exposing her to everyone at the party would be crossing the line in Azia's mind. Instead, she'd keep her friend naked longer and maybe throw in some more teasing to keep that worried look on her face before letting her have her stuff back. Besides, she wanted things to be a little personal.

"Maybe you should get out of the hot tub." Azia said.

"W-what?" Rose said.

"Everyone's going to hit the pool soon. You're going to have to hide better." Azia said, knowing time was limited. She had to at least pretend to help her.

Rose glanced at Azia. She was started to wonder why she'd suggest getting out of the hot tub, rather than go looking for a towel. For the moment, Azia was the only one who knew what was going on, and she wanted to keep it that way. But could she even trust her?
