Annabelle gets thrown a bone.

Seeing Annabelle and Katie approach, the two nude women just glanced at eachother and smirked, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what happened. They both composed themselves again though, clearing their throats.

"Hey uh, are you doing good?" Sarah asked, she was concerned, but given the sheer bad luck of the situation it was very hard not to be amused.

"I'm fine" Annabelle then shoot her head, letting out a frustrated groan "Okay I just, look you two are naked and that's great it's..."

Mary nodded along "Overstimulating? Especially considering that it's just been accidental for you"

"Exactly" Annabelle nodded in reply "I'm sorry, I don't mean to like- I don't want to ruin the vibe"

"What? No you're not gonna ruin the vibe. We're all friends" Katie chimed in "Some of us are just naked"

The blonde unhooked the boots from her pack, checking the label "Hey what's your shoe size?"

"Like a nine...or something" The taller brunette replied, before having Mary's boots pushed into her hands "I uh, th-thank you"

"They might be a bit tight, but hey you're having a rough time and it's not like I'll be wearing them" Mary smiled. The group then took a minute to catch a breath, and for Annabelle to wipe her feet off before putting her new boots on, despite still not having any spare clothes she at least seemed comfortable now.

Continuing on, the hiking trail started to lead alongside a road, at first the treeline kept things relatively private, with the thrill of cars going by simply being a reminder that the civilised world existed. But eventually trees thinned out, the trail grew closer still, eventually being directly alongside. Hearing a horn blare as a car passed was a brand new experience for Sarah, she was being seen, but in a different way than by fellow hikers. No this was by random drivers who were only seeing her ass or tits, who probably never hiked a day in their lives, who she'd never be able to talk to in order to show she wasn't just some streaker.

Mary seemed so comfortable with it though, it was almost surreal, she'd just walk as a car passed while it'd take Sarah by surprise each time.

"Listen babe, I get you're new at this, but a nudist hiker doesn't flinch every time they get spotted" The blonde quietly explained.

"How can I not flinch?" Sarah hissed back, she wasn't ashamed of her nudity, but this kind of exposure felt extremely embarrassing.

"You're gonna have to try, because town is going to be a lot worse"

Worse? Sarah just blushed, truthfully she hadn't even thought about how a public place might be. She simply assumed the cafe would be a taste of it...but no, that would be every building and with people who won't be expecting strange hikers. So many onlookers...

"You're hoping it'll be worse, aren't you?" The blonde asked with a smirk.

"Wha? N-no! Why would I?" Sarah stammered, trying not to make eye contact out of fear that her friend could read her mind that way too.

"Because you're a bit of a pervert" Seeing as the other girl had no response, Mary just continued "Look, I can tell when someone's a nudist or an exhibitionist. You're a bit of both"

"And how do you figure that?"

"You're comfortable walking around naked, not in a lack of shame kind of way, but in a very literal 'weight off your shoulders' way. But you are also very fine with talking to strangers...despite initially seeming nervous"

"Everyone's nervous before talking to strangers..."

"In a particular way, yes. But I know you're not an introvert, you don't have any social anxieties. You like being seen naked but believe it's something taboo"

"Isn't it?"

"Well, yes it is. Walking around naked is taboo" Mary simply shrugged "Nudists don't believe it's a taboo though"

"You said it yourself though, I'm new"

"Perhaps"

Sarah just got flustered at the cryptic response, then blushed even more as a car honked it's horn from behind her. But she couldn't deny getting a light thrill from being seen again.

"Okay then, we're going into town. Are you going to want clothes?" Mary asked, looking her friend over.

"N-no, of course not"

"Why?"

"...why?"

"It's a simple question"

"Because..." Sarah bit her lip "...well, it'd probably be uncomfortable getting dressed after this long naked. And I want people to keep seeing me like this, I want my friends to keep seeing me like this"

"A good answer"

"Are you going to want clothes?" Sarah asked cautiously

"Well, I might" Mary thought for a moment "I'll probably be buying spares for myself and Annabelle, no spares for you, of course"

"I...well, I guess yeah" The nude brunette just blushed, she wasn't sure why, but the idea of being the only person without access to clothes, even if Mary remained naked, excited her greatly. It'd almost be like being stuck, even though she did have the ability to just ask for clothing...she could still back out.

Either way she'd have to get through town first, they were at the technical limits of the place, the sign soon coming into view, followed by a small overlook of the town itself.

Avonton, and from the look of it the place wasn't small, it was built around a river running through the centre, there was even a small mall of sorts. A decently established town, two fully nude women...what could go wrong...?
