Revealing

"Listen and listen well, I won't be repeating myself. You are to keep your hands and legs to yourself, no contact of any kind, physical or magical. There will be no nudity, no kissing, and no flirting. And no swearing." Alma mentioned, shooting daggers at the small dwarf.

Nyitzcha crossed her arms and spat to her side. The rest of the group stood around, having been led to a small patch of the forest feeling rather exposed. No large shrubs to hide behind, those were out of reach several meters far. The trees although thick and large would do little to hide, serving best for taking cover instead. Frankly, as Felix thought while glancing around, even the high trees didn't offer shade where they were standing.

Completely exposed, devoid of any safety and the elf was telling them that swearing would not be tolerated.

"All weapons will be handed over, should any be concealed I will promise you will be receiving punishment for that. My son will be in charge of analyzing you," Spi'Reto's eyes grew wide once she said that, rapidly shaking his head and making a cutting motion with his neck in return. "Once he gives the signal, we will let you know if you may pass through or not."

"Ooh, she go tell the others!" Nukka grinned, walking into the large shrub to disappear behind Alma. "We have lots inside! Lots and lots and lots and lots and..."

"Eh-Mother!" He bursted, approaching her and leaning in, "Perhaps maybe you can be in charge of theeee um, analyzing. Please?"

She scoffed, rolling her eyes and spinning around walking through the large mountain of shrubbery behind her. Spi'Reto quickly turned back, his face red and his eyes darting back and forth between their guests. They stared back, curious with one member seemingly unamused and irritated whikst they waited uncomfortably. At last, he combed through his hair and chuckled nervously.

"Well, this was unexpected. It has been so long since we've had guests that I had forgotten this part. A-Apologies, but we take our trust very seriously so... I am going to have to ask you all to strip."

"What!?"

"Huh?"

"HA!"

Janette shook her head, rubbing her temple. "I-I I am going to assume I did not hear that. Strip, down to my underwear?"

"No underwear, na-da." Janette huffed much to Nyitzcha's growing amusement and smirk, throwing her arms up to scream. "AAAAHHHH!"

Even Felix flinched, rubbing his ear as his friend began pacing and muttering to herself. Looking back, at least Nyitzcha didn't seem too upset, somehow. "You're taking this pretty well, why the smirk?"

She shrugged. "Eh, once ye had yer fair share a days that go sour, ye starta learnta laugh at dese debacles."

"Hmm." Not a bad thing to go by, he thought. Looking back to the young elf, he could see that there was a bit of discomfort in him as well, he was fidgeting with his feet with his eyes wondering around aimlessly. He almost looked like a kid being told my his mum to speak to a stranger for the first time, being sheltered and now suddenly given the task of confrontation is something he imagined would be the very pinnacle of awkwardness.

"Well, if this is the way." He murmured, lifting his shirt over his head. Nyitzcha looked up, staring as her husband volunteered to be the first to disrobe, undoing his pants and stepping off them right away.

Nice chest.

"Oi! Where we putting our clothed, I ain't 'bout to leave 'em 'n the filth like so!" Nyitzcha barked at the young elf, a slight red to her face.

Spi'Reto recoiled in surprise, "Bah! Eh I-I can hold on to them, I sup-"

He was met with a barrage of worn clothing, a shirt over his face and a bra hung over his arm. Nyitzcha waisted no time in undressing, slipping her tiny undies off with a wiggle of her jiggly waist. Politely stepping out of her boots, she scooped them up along with her pants and goggles before pushing them rather harshly into the elf's arms.

"There, 'n don't be droppin' em or yer be cleaning the stains with yer TONGUE!" She huffed, standing back with her hands on her waist. Beside her, Felix had just undressed completely before adding them to the pile. Once Janette had stopped pacing, she spun back to find her companions seeming so casual naked.

"Really?"

Felix turned back and shrugged. "You wanted to retreat, yes? C'mon, it's nit like I haven't seen you nude before."

Nyitzcha snickered. "Didn't realize my hubby conquered a business girl, not bad taste. And ye don't look so bad yerself, lovely arse." She growled in a flirtatious manner, leaving Felix to blush and shyly rub his hair. "Though, I do take ye to be a grower?"

"Uh-"

"Fine!" Janette frowned, her mood sinking further in defeat. "A retreat, that's what we're having and nothing more." If I do this, who knows what they have to offer in return for this mess. It's not cheating after all, it's for her. Just... pretend no one is there. With a light tremble of her palm, she slowly began to loosen the buttons on her dress, slipping away the cloth to reveal more of her body. Each passing second she could feel the breeze touch her skin feeling like being licked by a snowman, making her clamp her teeth to avoid the rattling. Once naked, she shyly offered her clothes to Felix, forcing her hands to remain at her side.

Nyitzcha whistled. "Not bad, didn't know ye keep it clean down there."

"Don't look! Besides, you shave too!"

"Neh, we dwarf ladies don' have no body hair. The lads though..."

"To much!" Janette screeched, covering her ears and shaking her head much to the dwarfs delight.

Spi'Reto sighed, moving the pair of trousers from his head. "Let this be done with." He muttered, clicking his tongue in a sudden pattern. A leaf landed on Felix's arm prompting him to look up in time to see they had other visitors enjoying the view. They dropped down, surrounding them with Janette yelling and trying to conceal herself.

"Hey, now I be a lot o' things but I ain't no whore. Ye won't get a suckle out o' me!" Nyitzcha shouted, fists balled and ready.

"If they perceived you lot as a threat, they would have fired at you." Alma responded, reappearing behind them.

"Surprise!" Nukka beamed, head poking from the bush. "You passed!"

"Can we have our clothes back?" Felix requested, with Spi'Reto passing them back quickly.

"Of course, you may. Although, someone didn't check thoroughly as he was tasked." She glared at her boy, who recoiled with his hands raised.

"Mom, I told you I can't! Just feels so weird."

"I know, that's what makes it effective! No matter," she cleared her throat, patiently waiting for her guests to dress up. "You may pass."

"Here?" Felix asked, pointing at the shrub before being pulled in by a bear paw. He found himself sat atop the Grizzly, realizing the shrub hid what looked to be a natural crater formation in the forest, sunk within the earth with enough trees and bushes to use as coverage around them. Within this hiding place was a light sized camp of... of...

Janette and Nyitzcha found themselves pulled in as well, each landing behind Felix as well. Suddenly they were being lifted, holding on to the fur for a decent grip.

"All aboard the Grizzly Bear!" Nukka smiled wide, marching on all fours into the small camp.

"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Janette asked, staring at the strangers looking back at them. Felix didn't respond, his mouth left ajar as they were given the grand tour by yours truly.

"This is our camp! It's where we hide so shussh! This is Nukka's tree, she's shy and doesn't when company is around, but she makes for a great scratcher! This is Nukka's branch, she checks her teeth and plays fetch when she gets bored. And this is her rock, no matter what they tell you, she swears she saw it move overnight! No joke! Oh oh, and this is our hiding spot, we call it a camp! Ta-da!" She stood up on her feet, knocking the others back one over the other. "Oops! Sorry, she forgets you were there heh."

Felix rubbed his head, with Nyitzcha grabbing his arm to pull herself up. "Ye sure yer lass ain't with dese lot?"

The numerous Nekomata girls of old and young age mixed with their fathers which looked similar to Alma's age kept staring back at them. Alma entered the scene with a questioning look.

Felix sat up and shyly raised a hand. "Um, hi?"
