Re: The Island (The non-combat IC thread)
Alex wasn't quite sure how to react to that snide remark. While she had heard of vampires and how theirs was a questionable morality she also realized that most of it hovered around the fact of their need to feed on warm blood. She never thought that same morality would extend to...well, this... Even now she really couldn't see this as being something intrinsically vampiric. She had a feeling that if Pale weren't a vampire she'd still be making Alex take this walk.
When it came to Alice's question Alex only paused for a moment. "No. It doesn't cost us any money, but our host makes us pay one way or another..." And at that point he was probably getting his money's worth. Though Alex walked forward with her body straight and on full display there was no mistaking the slight droop in her head or the shame in her eyes. Nor the bright blush on her cheeks. Even if all they passed were the seemingly mindless creatures that staffed this island Alex still couldn't bring her eyes up to meet any of them. This was simply all sorts of uncomfortable she didn't know how to deal with, and she was thankful for the quickened pace.
If nothing did bother them then once they arrived Alex would finally have to bring her face up to speak to their waiter. She wasn't quite sure what to get, especially since a number of things looked like they could leave her nude body a little messy considering how flustered she was, so she opted for a couple of sandwiches. They would be quick, easily made and easily eaten, and though it would give Pale time to deal with whatever she had in mind for the recent arrival it would mean Alex wouldn't spend so much time parading around in front of whoever else had been dragged to this island.
(And then, my boredom got the better of me.)
A blank-eyed servant brought the sandwiches over to Alex and Alice after a few moments of waiting, but the nude dragon's meal was to be left unfinished. Just as she was about to bite into her sandwich, a crack would suddenly sound above Alex, followed by a very confused female voice that said; "
What the-AHHH!" If Alex glanced up, she'd have maybe a tenth of a second to prepare herself before someone fell down on top of her, bearing her to the ground and resulting in the two devolving into a pile of tangled limbs. A glass filled with white liquid was dropped in the process, spilling out over the floor.
Lenalee was left staring up at the ceiling with a the soft feeling of someone underneath her, and glanced aside to see that her glass of milk had spilled itself, causing her to sigh. "
So.... Hi!" she said, speaking up but addressing the person underneath her. After simply lying there for a moment, the sorceress started moving, slowly untangling herself from the dragoness and standing up, after which she offered Alex a hand... And eyed her up in the process. Her confused frown quickly became a wry smirk, and whether she accepted the hand or not, Alex was able to see that the new appearance's own garb wasn't much less revealing her own, quite a feat considering that Alex was nude. Stockings that were lacy around the top and turned into fishnets about halfway down her thighs, and held up by straps clipped to a garter belt that didn't cover her privates. That task was left to a string thong, one that just barely protected her petals. Her full, heavy breasts were supported by a similarly lacy, black bra, but any protection of her dignity that they might have offered was negated by the sheer material that it was made of, allowing one to see the tips of the lightning witch's breasts through it without even trying.
"
Sorry about that... But by the look of you, I don't think I regret getting dropped here! You got a name, or will "pet" work for you too?" she purred as she placed a hand on her hip, making no effort to hide her wandering eyes as they swept over Alex's body, though after a moment of gawking the witch looked up at Alex's face and said; "
I'm Lenalee by the way!" She held out a hand clad in a black silk glove that ran all the way up to her elbow, opening the fingers as if to shake Alex's hand, though the gleam in her eye might warn of something more planned.
