Sunbathed walk

Lassi gathered their bags, surreptitiously hiding the shirt that Neisa had discarded earlier and forgotten about. Not that her cousin could put it back on anyway with her hands bound behind her back again right?

"Why do you get a skirt?" Neisa whined. "You can wrap it around my chest and we can both go back in straight away..."

Lassi turned back to her cousin with a smirk on her face. Shade had settled over the canyon and her skin still glistened with drying water. She had to fight her gaze to avoid following every curve of her chest, pushed out invitingly by her bound hands.

"Because i didnt sign up for losing my shorts. You knew what they would do when you lost." Lassi chuckled. "I think youre enjoying this training a more than you say."

Lassi purred and glided over to Neisa, hefting both bags over either shoulder, she slowly reached a hand up and flicked a nipple. Neisa yelped and stumbled back.

"These dont lie. Its not that cold here yet..." She growled. "So you are going to spend the walk back thinking about your poor planning, and you can find somewhere to hide near the gate while i rush over to Sapphire avenue and find you something to wear."

Lassi spun on her heels and set off towards the canyon mouth, back the way they had come much earlier. Neisa groaned and rushed to catch up with her, carefully stepping through the gully with her balance compromised.

Together they find the road, mercifully clear for now, and began walking back west towards the city. The evening sun well on its way to setting behind the city spires cast long shadows behind them and dried the remaining water from Neisa's skin. Her eyes drifted shut as she walked, basking in the warm sun.

"Thinking about what Alwin said about the bracers." Lassi piped up. "There might be more to learn about them, and possibly the ghosts, at the sunken temple. You know jewelry of that quality is rarely made alone."

Neisa hummed in response, tilting her head in thought.

"You might be right, i noticed that since the new ghost joined the fight that they seem to be becoming more visible." She sighed and rolled her shoulders, trying to ease some of the setting stiffness. "I'm not strong enough to take on three of them yet, and this new Viera seems to be something of a tactician."

"Oh she seemed to enjoy getting tactile with you cousin." Lassi grinned wide.

Neisa spluttered and shot Lassi a glare but her fresh blush didnt lie. She looked away again.

"Dont think ive forgotten about getting you your own adornments Lassi..."

"Heads uuuup!" Lassi sang out.

Neisa panicked and looked forward along the road. On a rise ahead came a trader, pulling a cart along. He froze with his mouth hanging wide open at the sight.

She squealed and turned, dropping to a crouch on the road with her back to him. With only her tight thong dissapearing between her cheeks this sight was hardly better. Lassi stepped between them.

"Evening sirrr! My cousin here had an unfortunate swimming mishap. You wouldnt happen to have any clothes among your wares?"
