Wave to Tari Ralinan.

You spy the beautiful elven girl Tari Ralinan. Long blonde hair flutters in the wind behind her, and it does the same to the skirt she wears. You're starting to wonder if it's elves that love skirts, or if this girl just owns nothing else on personal preference alone. Today, she's covered by a light black coat unzipped in the front to show a white t-shirt. Her skirt is jet black.

She sees you first with her amber eyes, but you wave to her with a smile. She makes her way over to you.

"Oh. Hi," she says.

"You look a little down."

"D-Do I?" she gasps. "It's fine. I just had a stressful day yesterday."

"Really? What happened?"

She turns a bit red and whispers, "It's not important..."

"Are you sure? I'd like to help if I can."

She looks left and right before taking a small step closer to you. She whispers quietly and begins to blush, shifting uncomfortably as she speaks. Her hands move down to press down on her skirt.

"Yesterday, I lost my panties."

"You lost your--"

"P-Please. Not so loud. All right. I was walking around yesterday without any undergarments because they snapped. Don't think I'm that kind of girl, okay?"

"I wouldn't think that, Tari."

"It's fine," she says with a sigh. "Barely anyone saw anything. Enough about me, though. How's your day?"

"Not bad. I'm just on a walk."

"I'm actually kind of bored right now."

"Why don't we grab a coffee or something? Just chill, you know?"

"Hm... Actually, that sounds nice." She smiles warmly. "Thank you for asking."

Down the street you two walk before you find a coffee shop. It's small, and the front is labelled as, "The Coop".

You both head inside and you immediately smell the scent of bagels and coffee. It only has a handful of tables, and the walls consist of unfinished logs, but there's a coziness to it all.

She follows you up front.

"Two small coffees please," you ask from the older woman behind the counter.

The two of you sit at a small table to the side. She blows softly on her coffee while you cup yours between your hands.

"So, how has life been, John?"

"It's been all right. Same old, you know," you lie.

The two of you converse for some time, losing yourself in the company. It's a delight to, for once, have an interaction with an attractive female friend that doesn't lead to your own sexual embarrassment due to a certain curse. She is stunning though. The curse continues to feel you up, and it gives you certain urges, like asking to go to her place and more. For now though, you talk. Maybe after this week is over you can take a closer look at those elven legs.

"Well, it's been awhile!" Tari announces. "I should get going. This has been a ton of fun."

You both stands up and she scurries up to you for a hug.

"Goodbye for now. Thank you for the coffee," she says quietly.

"Travel safely," you say back with a warm smile.

You watch her depart through the door and you soon follow. Down the street you begin to wander, and for an hour or two, you browse through all the shops that line these blocks. Eventually your stomach starts to growl. Coffee isn't enough to keep you full.
