Camping under the stars

In the end, they never got their goodberries. Alis had hurried over to her pack to put on one of her two spare sets of underwear, and after dealing with the plant monster none of the others felt like pressuring her to try again. Though after having been stripped and totally exposed in front of her friends she was at least comfortable enough to not bother putting her dress back on, just wearing her hose with the shift as she ate her dinner. It was a warm evening, and Rosa and Sigrid had soon after ducked behind the cart to change into their own night-shifts.

Fendis didn't get up to change; instead, seeing the others getting ready for bed, she simply unbuttoned and shrugged off the leather jerkin that she wore over her bare chest. They all turned to gawk at her pert breasts and trim belly as she began to unlace her breeches. "Fendis, what are you doing?!" Alis squeaked.

Her eyes flicked up briefly as tugged them down, revealing the thick bluish-black bush between her legs. "Going to sleep," she said simply.

"Don't you have a night-shift or anything?"

Fendis kicked the short trousers off her ankle and tilted her head, completely nude. "No, what for?" she said.

They all knew Fendis preferred to dress light, but she had seemingly internalized her father's demands to stop running around in the buff a long time ago. It had never occurred to them that all these years she might have kept up the habit in some capacity. Since no one seemed to have a response to her question though, she just shook her head and moved over to her bedroll. She got down on her hands and knees to crawl under the blanket, causing Alis to **** on a sip of water as she flashed her crotch. "G'night."

Rosa shrugged and started to lay down on her own bedroll, when Alis remembered something that Agatha had said. "Wait, shouldn't we set a watch?"

Rosa and Sigrid groaned simultaneously, both of them very much looking forward to a long rest after that scare with the plant monster. "Ugh, do we have to?"

"What if we get ambushed by kobolds, though?"

Rosa stuck an arm out from under her blanket, waving her off. "It's fiiine. 'S probably only like a dozen of them, what are the o--*yawn*--odds of them running into us in this huge forest?"

Sigrid nodded tiredly and said, "It's only one night after all, and a girl needs her beauty sleep. But if you insist, you can wake up Rosie for second watch." With that, she flopped down on her own mat and pulled the blanket over her head.

"Nuh-uh," Rosa yawned again, "make Siri do it, 'Lis..."

Both of them were dead asleep within moments, and Alis sighed in frustration. She sent one last careful look around their camp with both her eyes and her magic, taking note of the horses tied up a short distance away dozing contentedly, before wriggling out of her hose and moving to put out the campfire. She was just turning to lay down herself when she noticed Fendis moving around a lot under her blanket.

Stepping closer, she could hear the wolfgirl whimpering slightly in her sleep. She was tossing and turning, the moonlight shining down revealing that her expression was drawn tight in distress. "Fendis?" Alis asked softly, reaching out a hand to touch her forehead. She didn't wake, but stilled somewhat under her touch, face smoothing out as she quieted down. Sighing, Alis looked longingly at her own bedding as she stroked the girl's hair. Looking down at her furrowed brows and slight frown, the green-haired girl stood and dragged her whole bedroll beside Fendis.

Laying a second blanket over top of her, Alis got down and slid in beside her. Fendis immediately cuddled up to her warmth, noticeably relaxing as she wrapped an arm around her midsection. Alis blushed at the feeling of the other girl's naked body against her underwear and turned to face the other direction. It was a bit embarrassing to be spooning like that with only a single layer of clothing between them, but she could put up with it for Fendis' sake. Anyways, she was feeling pretty tired herself... and Rosa was probably right, surely nothing bad would happen if she just closed her eyes for a few minutes...
