Chapter 10 by TeratonArm TeratonArm

Do you ask Diana for help? Explore the house for clothes?

Ask for a towel.

"Hey," you say, knocking on the door again, "Can I, uh, just get a towel?" You stand there in silence for a moment, leaning with one arm against the wall, before you realize you're letting your trunks sag on the right side. Just as you return your hand to them and pull them back up, the door opens a crack, and you jump a bit, seeing just an eye under a bit of red hair peeking at you from the other side.

"Oh." Diana says softly. Her eye slowly scans you up and down. "Why do you need a towel?" she asks, no hint of irony in her voice that you can hear. You blink, tilting your head, getting increasingly anxious now that the door was open even this little bit.

"Does it matter?" you ask, almost laughing, but sounding more nervous than anything.

"I dunno."

"Wh-" you turn away, cringing that this couldn't just be easy. "Because I need to dry off, why else?"

"Hm." You look into her eye for a moment, her gaze unwavering, before she quickly shuts the door. You almost shout in surprise and frustration, knocking on the door again.

"Diana? Can I please just get a towel?" Silence. Did she know you were lying? I mean, you weren't really lying, so much as... leaving out some of the truth. Did that matter? Apparently it might have to Diana, because she wasn't saying anything, and she wasn't opening the door. You swallow your frustration, and your pride, as you lean into the door once more. "I need the towel because my trunks are loose, and I want to cover up," you finally admit. After another few agonizing, quiet seconds, the door peeks open once again.

"Give me your trunks," is all Diana says.

"What?!"

"Give me your trunks, and then I'll give you the towel."

"You can't be serious," you say, but Diana's eyes still don't shift, they barely blink. Finally, you take a deep breath, put one hand down the front of your trunks to cover up... and bring your other hand over to match, letting the swimsuit drop to the floor. Slowly, you lean down- flinching in surprise as your damp derriere comes into contact with the wall behind you- and pick it up as you step out of them. You hold it out in front of the door, and Diana quickly snatches them inside. She meets your gaze for a moment longer.... and then the door shuts again.

"Come on!" You say, raising your voice, before quickly lowering it to a harsh whisper. "Diana! Diana?"

Does Diana eventually hand you a towel?
