Hot springs

"Hot springs I think," Alex decided. "I'm not feeling all that hungry."

"Neither was I," Kira answered.

In reality, Alex just didn’t want to look like a dork and fail to find her food while blindfolded at the restaurant.

"I just want to change my togs," said Alex. "I hate having to swim in board shorts."

"I'm the same, but with tops. "That's why I'm wearing this blouse in place of a bikini top."

Alex hoped that Kira would not make her go topless as well. She did not want everyone here oggling her boobs.

Kira stood up from her seat, and waited for Alex to do the same.

"I left my shoes over there somewhere," ex informed Kira as she stood up and splashed into the pool.

"Oh yup. I see them."

Alex was thankful that she had someone else with her. It let her enjoy being blindfolded without having to worry about things like not being able to find her shoes.

Kira debated whether to try get Alex to pick up her own shoes blindly, but then realised it would be easier to squat down herself and pick them up. She positioned her cuffed wrists above the shoes, squat down, and picked up the jandals. Alex was still wandering around blindly, trying to find her.

Kira went over to Alex and gave her her shoes. Alex plucked them out of Kira's hands and tentatively walked to the edge of the pool. Finding the edge, she avoided tripping, and instead steppes up onto the sand, where she knelt down and put on her shoes.

"So you're not going to help me at all then?" Alex asked with exasperation. "Being blind is tiring you know."

"Well its your kink," Kira replied. "Besides, you have use of your arms."

"That's true. However it would be more fair on me if you were wearing an actual armbinder."

Kira nodded. "Sure. Lets go pick up one. Right after we go to the swimsuit store and get you some new 'togs'." Alex could not see the inverted air quotes Kira made behind her back at the kiwi slang.

"Er, I don't want to spend a whole lot."

"No problem. I'll find you something versatile that you can get heaps of use out of while your here."

============================

Kira lead Alex by the hand through the resort. Alex almost tripped several times, but managed to regain her balance, even despite how fast Kira's natural walking pace was.

Eventually the two of them made it to the shopping district.

"This is the commercial quarter of the island. You come here to either make money or spend money. The casino is around here somewhere. I also hear talk of some game shows or something. We could check all that out after the hot pools."

"Sounds fun."

Alex retained her grip on Kira's hand as she pulled her into the swimsuit shop. Its large interior was filled with the smell of new clothing, with a hint of chlorine.

"Now uh, I don't want anything too-" Alex began.

"Look, just trust me alright. I am a bathing suit aficionado. I will dress you in something that will perfectly complement your body. It may take you out of your comfort zone a bit, but everyone will be wishing they were you."

Alex relaxed. She believed Kira. Her current outfit was extremely stylish, and she wouldn't mind being dressed by someone who actually knew about fashion. "Okay. I trust you."

"Good. Go wait in the changing booth then. Strip, and then put on any suit i give you. Then leave the booth and model it a bit so that i can give my thoughts. Got it?"

"Got it." Alex releases Kira's bound hands, and began to wander around the store on her own, being careful to walk slowly and not hit any of the racks. By the time she found the changing rooms, Kira was already handing her a first batch of suits.

Alex stripped off her current outfit, a lot easier this time because of her lack of handcuffs, and pulled on the one-piece. It was high cut, and felt very thin. It was silver with a crazy blue line pattern all over it. She then left the booth and nervously spun around.

"Hmm. Not bad. The pattern looks nice, but i don't think one-pieces really accentuate all your features all to well. Could be wrong though. Try the next one."

Alex did. It was red, and had no coverage over her butt. It also provided a mountain of cleavage.

"Yeah. Better. But i think coverage over your butt looked better."

Alex tried on sever more swimsuits, until she lost count. Kira had narrowed it down to bikinis, but couldn't find one she liked.

"Y'know, i don't actually know what any of these bikinis actually look like," Alex told Kira as she modeled her latest look:

"Well that one you're currently wearing is a rather quaint floral bikini with a black base, and purple pink and blue neon patterns."

"Hmm. Sounds nice," Alex replied, doing a little twirl.

"Eh, the bottoms are fantastic, but the top leaves a lot to be desired."

"Oh really? It feels weird."

Kira stood up from her chair and took a closer look. "Yeah, it detracts from the rest of the suit. That one won't work."

Alex sighed. "Alright. I guess I'll try the next one. I could always mix and match if you think the bottoms look good."

Kira shook her head. "Nah, mixing only works for very specific styles."

Alex started to walk backwards into the changing booth again, when Kira stopped her.

"Hang on, I have an idea."
