Make a stop.

After packing up to depart in the morning, the party continues to head north, though comes to yet another familiar and lovely view as noon approaches. Crystal Lake stretches out far and wide, and with the movement of the air falling completely silent this day, the water appears like a sheet of untouched glass reflecting the clear blue sky and golden sun above. While it may be autumn, you're not yet up in the mountains, and Tivera seems to have a rather hot climate. It's temperately warm this late morning--not hot, but not so cool as to where you'd be opposed to dipping your toes in the water. It seems the others think the same as well, because one by one, your travelling party diverts their direction to head down towards the edge of the lake.

Peony is the first to enjoy the cool water as she splashes down to where it reaches her ankles--no clothes to worry about drenching--and cups some of the water to dump over her head like watering a plant. She purrs out a hum of delight as the clear liquid rolls down her soft, green flesh, and coats her leaf-like hair with droplets similar to that of morning dew. "Mmm. It feels soo good. You should join me, m'lord. It'll make you feel better after everything that happened."

"She has a point," chimes in Nyllia of all people. While one of the most responsible, she flashes you a gaze of ulterior motives before smiling politely at the others. "It would be such a shame to waste a gorgeous noon, and after everything, I believe that we deserve a small vacation before returning to Castle Phoenix, especially for those who competed in Daven's strange games."

A burst of wind comes forth from Mistress Dajy's intimidating wingspan when they actually stretch fully. Her hands caress back through her long, white hair. Then with careful, sensual movements of her fingers--nearly like claws with carefully refined yet long nails--she allows one strap of her skimpy dress to slip down over her shoulder, and then the other side follows. There she cradles her breasts together as she pierces your gaze with her own, and even with the power you've gained over time, a tingle still shoots immediately down your spine, as well as somewhere else.

"I agree," Dajy says with a smirk. Then to likely get a rise out of others, she turns her gradual strip tease to something entirely different as she tears her entire dress clean off her body. It leaves her with nothing but a thin garment of lingerie tightly hugging the perfect curves of her ass cheeks.

"What are you doing?!" screeches Eva in panic.

"Relax, dear bunny." Next her nails slide down her hips and beneath the waistband of her underwear. Slowly, she brings them down, revealing her bare rear as she faces the lake--away from you. "Kyle has a spell to fix torn clothes, remember?"

"That isn't what I meant!"

"Ah. Kyle," Nyllia says, somehow still able to grab your attention given the view ahead. "Would you please aid me in removing my armour?"

"Is this really all right? We're out in the middle of nowhere, outside," you ask.

Eva's nostrils flare and she swallows hard. "Y-Yeah. Uhm, but we're all girls here, so it's fine, right? I mean, beside you, and you've seen... Well, you know."

"Seen everyone here nude?" Nyllia finishes her thought.

"Yeah, but don't say it like that!"

"What about Bek?" you ask with a thumb turned backwards. But when you bring your eyes around to find him, he's standing with a blindfold tied around his eyes. "Oh. What the heck are you doing over there?"

"Don't worry about me, lad." He gives a thumbs-up. "I'll just be over here training and keeping monsters away."

Nyllia tilts her head. "Ah. To be honest, Mr. Kholrann. I do not think anybody would mind if you took that off."

"He put it on himself?" you ask.

"What kinda boring training do you want me to do out here?" Bek laughs. "You think fighting slimes with my eyes opened will do anything for me?"

"Uh. Well, you just do whatever you wanna do," you say.

Fang grabs onto your arm from the side and holds it tight. When you turn, you see the pleading eyes of a kitten, though a face starting to flush. She pushes her face into your shoulder and sniffles. "... Thank you so much for allowing me to be here and experience what's about to happen here, my Demon King."

"Y-You're welcome?" You sigh and pat her on the head.
