Yes, to show support for Dove

Cadence didn't plan on getting naked in front of anyone today (or anytime in particular), but now that Dove has invited the whole class to take their clothes off if they want, things seem to be getting awkward fast. She catches at least one student eyeing the door, as if they want to leave. Peer pressure seems pretty strong in this world; if one student leaves, others might follow, and Cadence knows that Dove would be heartbroken over it. Screw it, she thinks, I have to do something.

"Uh, sounds good to me!" Cadence tosses off her tank top, her shirt, and her pants as if they're on fire. She only hesitates for a split second before giving her underwear the same treatment. With her entire outfit in a small heap next to her yoga mat, Cadence stands proudly with her C-cup breasts, trimmed crotch, and firm butt on display for the whole class. Her mouth is smiling, but there's some clear tension behind her eyes, and her body is starting to sweat a little despite the studio's air conditioning. Still, to her relief, the other students seem to be relaxing more. One of the students shrugs and starts stripping at a leisurely pace, and another takes her clothes off as well, but doesn't bother to hide her nervousness (Cadence recognizes her as Nocturna's assistant, who fortunately has not been fired). One student still leaves before the others are even finished undressing, and about half a dozen students (including Harmonie) are still left with their clothes on but seem happy to continue with the class.

Cadence looks over at Dove, whose mood doesn't seem to have fallen one bit. Cool, that could have gone a lot worse. Oh my god, I'm still naked... Now that the yoga class has been saved, Cadence feels a deep blush set into her face as she mentally prepares herself to do yoga in the nude. All she can hope for is that everyone will be looking at Dove instead of her the whole time...

"Make a tree! ...Downward dog, double time!" After warm-up stretches, Dove decided to go straight into the music game. She could tell Cadence wasn't as comfortable being naked as she pretended to be, and she hoped that giving her a rhythm to focus on would help. And so far, it looks like Dove was right; Cadence looks significantly more relaxed now as she poses and stretches right in time, unlike most of the other students, who usually perform well enough in this game by now but seem rather distracted today. Oh well, I'm sure they'll get used to it eventually!

The rest of the two-hour yoga class progresses smoothly, although Harmonie never stops taking pictures of Dove. With every pose she leads the class through, the banshee in disguise somehow manages to hold her phone at the right angle to get a decent picture of her, as if she wants to collect pictures of Dove in as many poses as she can. She even tries to get a picture of Cadence at one point but changes her mind when she receives a death glare from the adventurer.

When the class is over, Cadence stays behind with Dove until Harmonie and most of the other students have left and then gets dressed again in her usual outfit with her jacket and skirt. When Dove sees Cadence let out a sigh of relief at being clothed again, Dove approaches her to speak to her out of earshot of everyone else. "Cadence, you know you didn't have to take your clothes off if you didn't want to, right?"

Cadence looks back at Dove with a slightly apologetic expression. "Well, yeah, but...I felt like someone had to, or the class might not have ended well. I was worried people were going to leave if I didn't make you look less...weird."

Dove gives Cadence a gentle smile and puts a hand on her shoulder. "Oh, Cadence, you don't need to worry about that! I knew coming here nude was weird, and I wouldn't have done it if I were afraid of what people would think. I appreciate you trying to help though, that was very kind of you."

Dove pulls Cadence into a hug, and Cadence hugs back tightly. "You're welcome, Dove...I saw what Harmonie was up to though. Make sure to let me know if she's bothering you so I can tear her a new one again, okay?"

Dove pulls back from the hug and smiles. "Oh, I will. But she won't have to hurt anyone once we find a way to stop the rifts for good, right?"

"Right." Cadence picks up her guitar and starts heading for the exit. "On that note, it's almost time for my rehearsal, so I'll see you later. Stay safe, Dove!"

"Bye Cadence, say hi to Freddie for me!" Dove smiles and waves as Cadence leaves. With her morning yoga class finished, Dove has a few hours before her afternoon class starts. Time for lunch!
