Try to befriend the young one.

"Hello there," you say towards him. "What's your name?"

He perks up at the attention. "Oh! My name's Lord Rahu Vraelion, sir. I'm the youngest."

"Oh I see. So your the little brother of Malakae. Is that correct? How has she been?"

The boy nods. "She's one of my older siblings, yeah! And, well... I don't know." He casts his eyes down between his shoes. "To be honest, sister has been kinda down for awhile. I don't know what's bothering her. I wish I could do something, but she keeps saying nothing's wrong."

"Maybe we could cheer her up. Do you know where she is?" you ask.

He shakes his head. "Sorry, but I can't just take a stranger through the house. Father would be furious. Anyway, do you want to play?"

"Well, we're here on pretty important business," you say with a chuckle. "That's why I was asking about Malakae, actually."

"Tag is my favourite game to play," he says, ignoring you. "I like being chased. See, I'm really good at not getting caught. Try to catch me, I dare you! You'll never do it. I'm the fastest person in the house, I swear! C'mon. Let's go." He claps his hands together, and lowers himself down like an animal ready to strike. While he remains as he is, in this moment, you can really tell the boy is a dragon. It's easy to forget.

"H-Hey," Eva mutters out, turning to Jelly beside her. "What are you doing?"

Jelly stares blankly back at her. Though in her hand is the waistband of Eva's undies. She tugs them up beneath the girl's loin-cloth-like bottoms, and as she does, her expression turns into a mischievous smile. She giggles, much to the bunny's dismay.

"Let go!" Eva demands. She pushes down her bottoms in panic as her panties are tugged slightly downwards. Then she gasps. With it being stretched even farther, she's given a partial wedgy. "Y-You're going to break them," she whispers loudly with flustered panic in her eyes. "S-Seriously. Let go!"

"But wouldn't it be funny if they snapped?" Jelly asks.

"Why would that be funny?!"

The boy just watches with interest, confused by the whole ordeal.

"They're mine, they're mine~," Jelly sings as she tugs them farther. They stretch an impressive amount.

"Noooo!" Eva cries, but then...

Snap!

Jelly looks at the panties in her hand with a tilted head.

Meanwhile, Eva pulls the pelvic curtain inwards between her legs and flushed red. "N-No! Not now... Not in an outfit like this. Please, Kyle. Mend this quick, before we gotta speak to someone important. Please!" She looks at you with **** eyes.

"Treasure obtained!" Jelly stands tall and holds the broken underwear over her head. "Are you proud of me, Kyle?"

Niki waves her hand. "No, no. Bad, Jelly. You can't just steal clothes."

"Why not? Now she has to make it through the rest of the day trying not to expose herself. Isn't that fun?"

Eva grabs Jelly's arm. "G-Give those back."

"Ah! Catch!" shouts the slime before she chucks them like a baseball straight into the hands of Rahu Vraelion.

He looks down at them. "Huh? Oh... Haha, these are undies! Undies! That's funny. Finally, we get to play. Catch me if you can!" He grins wide and leaps behind the sofa, towards the exit of the parlour.

"No, no, no," Eva pleads desperately. She hurries over, all while trying her best to keep her wardrobe in check. It's certainly meant to show off those bottoms, so without them, her lack of anything beneath is very apparent. Standing still, the curtain just barely covers down the middle. The curve of her bare pelvis shows that the only thing behind that curtain if it were to open is something she'd rather not be seen right now. Though she nearly stumbles over--catching the back of the couch before she does. "Please, I don't want to play right now. I need those. It's r-really important."

"I want to play too," says Jelly. She hops over and looks for a moment like she's about to perform a definitive pincer maneuver on Rahu. But to Eva's dismay, she doesn't strike. Instead, she reaches through the slit down one side of her poofy trousers, and without even needing to snap the fabric, pulls her golden bottoms straight through her slime body and holds them up. "Catch this too!" she shouts before overhand tossing them straight into the dragon boy's arms.

Now he has two undergarments in his grasp. He looks between Jelly and Eva with a big, excited smile, and begins running again. He laughs maniacally as he goes--feet thumbing loudly towards the exit of the parlour.

Eva stumbles forwards. Quickly, she catches herself and pushes the front of her clothing down. Her face is bright red. Her breathing is rapid. Her heart is racing. While she may not be caught nude, with such a skimpy costume, even one piece missing is critical. Those bottoms were meant to be seen on occasional, with the curtain between her legs rather slim, so without it at all, she's placing a dangerous game. The worst part is that if she tries to run, it swings and tangles--a beautiful garment meant to flutter through the air as the performer dancers with expert precision, now a precarious tease with every moment a risk of exposing oneself. Her legs tremble as she comes to a stop at the doorway, with her target now standing out in the hall. "Please," she begs. "If I don't get that back, someone might see my--"

"Nooo, not my panties~!" Jelly cries in a silly, fake manner. She pushes Eva out of the way and pretends to chase the boy in panic. She turns back into the room and stares at you. Her hand moves down and a finger wiggles into the wide opening down the side of her genie-like pants. You can just barely see the bare, pale purple spot between her legs, no longer covered by anything. It doesn't seem to bother her at all compared to Eva. In fact, she seems to be having fun... just not in the same way. "Look. There's nothing."

Amara raises her hands up as she walks cautiously towards the encounter. "You should not be so bold, or at least not here. We have something important to do. Did we not speak on this back at Castle Phoenix? Remember what Lady Tlarthanil said."

Jelly speaks as if she's quoting another. "A lady does not expose herself in front of others, unless it is the one who she cares about most." Then she switches back to her usual cadence. "But I care about everyone here!"

"Aw. That is sweet," Amara says softly with a happy giggle.

"There are a lot of holes in both of your logic," you mutter. Then you make your way to the others as well, with Niki close behind. You can spy Rahu ready to run out in the hall, while both Jelly and Eva linger in the doorway. You still need to find Malakae, and the butler could be back any second. This kid is wound up, and he seems more rebellious than you first expected from somebody in this house. There's no way he's just going to stop and give everything back. "Hey, buddy," you say now in a **** tone. "You said you wanted to play tag, right?"

"Yeah!" shouts Rahu in excitement.

You put a finger to your lips. "But if you're caught running around with us, someone will get mad, right?"

"Oh... That's true. I'll be quiet."

"Good. If you are, we can play."

Eva looks to you with pleading eyes. "Wh-What are you doing?" she asks as she fidgets in place.

You continue. "We'll play tag, but with two extra rules, all right? The first is we can't get caught, so we'll have to be quiet, and make sure we don't head to places where we'll run into anyone else. Secondly, and this is the most important one, we need to have a victory condition. We'll say that if you can get to a certain place before we catch you, then you win."

"Ooh. That sounds fun! Uhm. How about, uh..."

"Your big sister's door. Malakae. If you can get there first, you can keep both things you stole."

"I don't know--"

"Ready? And go!"

He gasps. With that, he begins sprinting down the hall.

Eva is about to shout, but she covers her mouth--face still flustered, though now glowing red. She looks to you with fury in her eyes. Either she doesn't understand your plan, or she does and cares not for what she's being put through to get there. Rather, she is humiliated by it, though it's incorrect to say she isn't enjoying it. There's certainly an excitement burning within her. One could swear to see the glow of hearts in her eyes. Her attention is stolen by Jelly running first. After mustering up enough courage, Eva pulls the pelvic curtain in tight between her legs, takes a deep breath, and begins to awkwardly run down the hall after them.

"Very clever," Amara says softly with a hand on your shoulder. "You are quite good with kids."

"So uh, I'm not supposed to actually catch up with him, right?" Niki asks. "Until maybe we get to the door."

"Exactly," you reply.

She groans. "All right. Well, I don't really wanna run in this weird outfit anyway."

You kick off and begin hustling after the others. "Relax, Niki. You look amazing."

"I--" She's about to shout after you, but she purses her lips as colour fills across her nose. "I g-guess so."

Her and Amara hurry up behind you.
