Naked Mishaps ( Open )

[Garrett Blade]

" Hold here recruits! "

Garrett called out to a small group of men and woman soldiers that were following close behind the fully outfitted captain of the Royal Palace Guard. Their faces worn and their features screaming out their exhaustion after a full days hike. A few of the recruits were even becoming careless on the regards of moral dropping low on this training run. Which frustrated Garrett for at the pace at they were moving, reaching the barracks by night fall would be impossible at this point.

They had just made it to the Hot Springs, which was the last land mark before reaching the South Gate of the city. However, Every time he glanced back his eye fell upon tired eyes in hopes of a break or a rest from carrying all their gear. Plus, navigation was beginning become difficult with the sun slowly setting over the silhouette of netted branches that was their canopy above. Soon it would be dark and hard to navigate through the wood. Which would be difficult to travel with new soldiers that barely spent any time outside Nova's grand protective walls.

" We will make camp here tonight. It's a public accessible place, so if you haven't been to the springs before… Don't cause any mischief with civilians trying to relax in the pools. Lets try and relax tonight before returning to the barracks int the morning. " Garrett announced to his small party. Gesturing towards the sound of running water and where the famous Hot Springs were located. When they reached the black rocky beach of the hot springs, to a large open shallow pool, the men and women soldiers that were so tired before suddenly came into action and life. They ran past Garrett before splitting off into groups. One created a fire near the spring pool, and began preparing a boar that they had killed 2 hours earlier.

While the other group set up camp and began removing articles of clothing to enjoy the pleasures of taking a bath in the warm waters of the hot spring. All taking place while Garrett stood at the entrance of the spring, his eye brow raised and his only good eye blinking.

" Huh, that was easy. " Garrett smirked, glancing over his shoulder to a warn trail that lead off to his left. Possibly a dead end, but curiosity drove him to take the trail that lead around the camp site to another set of pools off to themselves. The steam from the warm water and the humid spring air made it difficult to see. However, the light of the fire made it some what easier to find the black pebble shore of the closest pool as the flame's light flickered off the shiny black surface.

When Garrett reached the edge of the spring, he began to remove his armor. Once his armor was removed and set aside, he began to untie his shirt and remove the rest of his clothing. Once the last article of clothing fell to the ground, Garrett waded into the pool. His flesh toned and tight against his tan muscles an battle scared skin.

" What a day…what a day." Garrett sighed, sinking into the water and resting back against a pile of large black stone and oak roots. His blue eye glancing back at his recruits ever so often through the small wall of loose woven trees.

Aria was walking through the woods heading to the springs, she was covered in mud from a days worth of plant collecting. She was in her gorge hound form and by now the mud was starting to hurt as it dried in her fur and tugged at her skin as she moved. A great deal of scents suddenly hit her nose as she came towards the springs…the main ones were busy tonight…….and just barely…a very familiar scent in her nose not to far off from the main group. Arias hears perked and her tail wagged as she took off bounding. As she got nearer she allowed her body to take shape to her human form, keeping the tall ears of a gorge hound and large fluffy tail.

”MIIINE!”

There was a large sudden splash as the guard captain was tackled by the over excitable red head. She hugged him as she normally would, the tail which she kept was wagging back and forth splashing the water as it went…..it slowly lost momentum….before coming to a stop…Aria who was snuggling as her usual MO suddenly stiffened…as she realized the person she was hugging was a hell of a lot less lumpy then he usually was…..and much softer…a lot softer….and warm.

”…….You’re not wearing any clothes….are you…..”

[Rivers]

Laughter peals out from a nearby thicket as Rivers appears, still clothed, but doubled over and trying to catch his breath. "Boss, the haha...the...ha..the..look on your face in priceless." He says in between gasps of breath as he sees the pair. Rivers knew who this man was, or at least who he was supposed to be, Guard Captain Garrett was a pretty public figure after all and he'd heard the name several times as he looked around the town.

He grins over at Garrett and asks. "If you two need some time to do what a naked man and woman need to do, just say so and I'll take my leave. Boss is kinda inexperienced in those kinds of things though. So try to be gentle with her." He chuckles, still overcome with amusement and enjoying the process of teasing the pair.

He looks over at Aria and gives her a thumbs up. "Good job Boss, you realized your flaw as a protagonist and have quickly taken steps to fix it!"

Amiee was taking a walk with Starlight heading towards the springs for a nice relaxing dip in the water by the light of the moon. The sounds of different voices mixing together told her that the main spring was busy that night.


Taking the path that leads to the spring that was less used. Stopping a little from the trees she got undress, folding her clothes and putting it into her bag. Running the rest of the way not noticing the voices or the scents that were there.


Breaking into the clearing she, meowed in delight as she jumped it water, splashing Rivers where she stood. At times like this she really did act like a child not that she cared. Starlight followed standing next to Rivers laughing at her silliness and her lack of being aware of her surroundings.


"You know Amiee you should really start opening your sense more." Starlight said as she place her paw into the water before jumping in swimming the short distance to her. Looking around she finally notices the other three occupants of the springs. Blushing brightly, "Well... um... hi." 

[Deleted]

Séanait felt like screaming or, at the least, hitting something until she was too tired to care. She'd expected to find herself in some sort of military company when she'd joined the guards, but so far it had been an awful lot of learning how not to kill people and learning what was an was not illegal. This march was the final straw. They hadn't even managed twenty miles today, and yet almost all of the recruits looked exhausted. That wasn't what got to her, though, it was the captain's blasé approach to camping. If we planned on camping somewhere, you sent out scouts and fortified your position. You didn't find yourself a nice little killing ground and send everyone off to have a bath!

Grumbling to herself, and nowhere near as tired as the other recruits, Séanait dropped the boar off at the fire with another recruit. They'd slung it under a pole and others had taken turns at the other end. Séanait, trying to shame the others into not being such weaklings, had held her end for the entire time and her shoulder was killing her. She rubbed at it as she looked around at the other group setting up the tents and shook her head in disgust. There was no order to the tents, they were just put up wherever there was room. Trees, boulders and bushes interspaced them. If she'd been in charge, the whole site would have been cleared of brush before the tents were set up in nice, neat rows.

Séanait decided that she might have to speak to Garrett on this. She knew that she was still technically only a recruit, but she suspected that the Captain hadn't fought in a war before. Policework was all well and good inside a city, but outside you needed to take more care. They weren't so big a group, nor so well armed and armoured that a group of bandits wouldn't attack them and, of course, there were always a number of wild beasts that might try and eat them in the night. Perhaps if she was as forceful as possible while also being respectful, he might decide to take things more seriously in the future.

Spotting Garrett disappear down a side path, Séanait followed him, spear held in her right hand. As usual, she was dressed in full armour - with the addition of her standard issue breastplate to her mail and quilted linen armour - and she didn't see much of a point in undressing just yet. It would help reinforce her point, she hoped.

Laughter came from the trail up ahead and Séanait came out of the trees to find that Garrett wasn't alone. Aria, of all people, was snuggling up against him while a naked, fury woman was looking embarrassed and another man was standing by the side of the pool looking like he'd found a ton of gold. Séanait stopped and leaned on her spear, watching. Well, she'd suspected that there was something going on between Garrett and Aria, so that might explain why the Captain hadn't been too keen on making a proper camp. She had no idea about the others, though.

"You know, sir," Séanait called out to the captain with her biggest shit eating grin, "I was going to ask why you didn't get us to set up a proper camp, but I think I know the answer now."

Diamond had been resting in a tree, more like he was sleeping until a loud female voice screaked out. This awoke him and he looked down below him. He sees the redhead Aria glomping a rather naked male and she her self was in the nude as well. Her companion was laughing his ass off at her slight misfortune as he was on the ground laughing like a hyhena or whatever the creatures was. As he was about to move his ears detect the woman that he was paired off in the match making event Aimee and she was rather embareist as she accidently walked into something that she should not have seen. And then the last player which did surprise him was Shy as he heard her fiery voice speaking up. Being rather amused at what her commander was doing. As it seemed it was for some fun time in the sack with the lady. "Pleas please continue, I am really quite enjoying the show down there. Although since everyone is here. We might as well strip down and jump in. I mean I've seen Shy in her birthday suit and might I add you got a firm ass. And Aimee here welllll we nearly got it on. So I see no harm being in the buff" he said and most of his stuff was at the base of the tree as his armor and weapons.

He strips off his clothes and then jumps in the pool "CANNONBALL" he yells and aimed for the deepist part of the pool. It seemed that Diamond had cut lose a bit since it was spring. The life energies of spring reinvigorated him. As if to enjoy the life around him and have some fun as things did start anew. As he surfaced he looked at most of the women there. "Like what you see ladies" he said almost doing a taunt out of jest.

[Serenity Caine]

She needed to get out of that shit hole she was stuck living in. Serenity was grateful for having a place to stay, but she detested bathing there. It wasn't to long before that she'd been told of the springs, and though she'd been hesitant to drift out on her own, she needed to try someplace new. It had been a risk she was willing to take. Even though she had left her home with the purpose of bathing, she still looked dressed up, wearing an simple looking black dress, formed to her gracious figure, with her burgundy hair tied up in a knot her mother had long ago taught her, few strands falling loose around her porcelain face, curling with the slight humidity as she reached the water. She brought with her a towel, knowing the frigid air would hit her afterwards, though at the moment, she found the air warm, and had unbuttoned the first three on the collar of her dress.

It was clear she hadn't been expecting to see so many people when she emerged from the foliage. She'd heard a scream or a cry, something of the sort not long before, and it had caused her to walk faster, her heart kicking up in speed. Her hair came slightly more loose around her face when she picked up her pace, but not so much that it fell. It was then that she heard laughter, and calmed some. She really wasn't meant for these surroundings. Right as she came face to face with the people, she heard another shout, and felt her skin become wet as a splash emerged from the water someone had just jumped in.

My word! She wiped at her face, drying her hands on her dress. Her cheeks were pink from her nerves before and her eyes darted around her. No one she recognized, but her eyes landed on a girl, hair was red as her own, but of a slightly different shade, nude. As was the man she held. What on earth had she stumbled into? Her hazel eyes turned away, blushing, to see that there was another male, nude, emerging from the water, openly flirting with the women he saw. Upon further inspection she found Rivers, the one who must have been laughing before, and though she was uneasy with him, she felt calmer. At least she knew him. She also vaguely Séanait from a night not to long before, but It was blurred with the drinking that had occurred. 

What in bloody hell have I walked in on? Some sort of mutual orgy between human and beast? - and another human? Her tone was strong, but clearly disapproving, talking about Aria, Garrett and the recently nude Diamond. Honestly. I know this is a public place, but really.

[Deleted]

The red on her face was almost the same shade as her hair; frankly it was already embarrassing enough to be in skin to skin contact with Garrett. HE USUALLY HAD CLOTHES! Her ears pinned back on her head and she let out a small groan of embarrassment as she heard a familiar peel of laughter. Worse….more people all seemed to congregate at the worst possible time….Aria awkwardly detached herself from Garrett and slid into the water by his side; her hand covering her face in embarrassment.

”ya…so Mine, this is Rivers the guy I sorta kinda live with occasionally right now….Rivers this is Garrett….”

As Rivers continued to tease Aria looked up at him with a raised eyebrow, especially at the kinda inexperienced part….that was the understatement of the century. …..She rubbed her face when he went on and mentioned that whole protagonist thing…..he certainly would love to know that Garrett was the boy she had mentioned from her childhood.

”One of these days I am curious to hear this story that I’m the protagonist in…..”

Aria turned her attention to Shy whom stood on the bank…..giving both her and Garret a shit eating grin.

”Hello again Shy….”

Aria glanced over at Amiee who was also staring at them awkwardly. She was about to say something when she heard a voice from above them. Really was every one getting there jollys over her tackling Garrett like she normally would? However, this male brought a welcomed distraction as he cannonballed into the spring.

”Good to know I’m not the only one being seen nude in places…..Hello…haven’t we met before?”

Aria was quickly gaining control over her embarrassment and gladly moving to another subject. But soon yet ANOTHER person made their appearance….Aria didn’t know this one….however she instantly disliked her as soon as she started talking…she could take insults against herself…she was use to being called a beast….that hadn’t changed….but dragging Garrett into that insult as well by association….well now there was an issue.

A dangerous glint formed in Arias eyes as a sickenly sweet smile formed on her lips. Aria climbed over Garrett and pushed herself up on shore. She walked up to the woman, coming very close into her personal space. Her hands coming up and trailing her cheek bone as she circled her, her tail coming and wrapping around the woman’s waist.

”Since you seem to be so keen on inserting yourself into our little group, a pretty and such observant thing like yourself simply must join us.”

Arias voice came out in a husky like purr as her nails trailed along the woman’s neck. She let them linger there only for a moment before pushing back and giving her a very good boot to the ass into the water. She then promptly stalked back to her spot next to Garrett in the springs and slid back into the water. Her tail slowly disappearing, and her gorge hound ears slowly receding to her normal slightly tapered ears. She had her hands crossed over her chest.

[Rivers]

Rivers lets out a sigh and shakes his head as Aria introduces him as the guy she lives with. Well while that is true, you are going to cause a lot of misunderstandings Boss. He sighs inwardly. Though when Aria asks him about her story he smiles slyly.

"No Bard worth his salt would tell a story that does not have an ending. Someday when the tale is done I will perform it for you, or for your grave, whichever is still around." He replies with a smirk, Rivers liked Aria, but he held no illusions of the idea that she was going to be long lived.

Though the enigmatic smirk lost some of its majesty as a wave of warm water suddenly splashes onto him leaving him dripping and causing his aloof expression to seem mildly silly. He raises a hand and wipes the water form his face as he looks down at the cat then at Aimee. "You really do like this place don't you?" He asks the girl, this being his third time meeting her here.

Though as he hears another person emerge a knife appears in his hand by reflex, though when Shy emerges he returns it to wherever he keeps his knives as he raises and hand in greeting. "Lo, how's it going? Welcome to this amusing occasion of an entire field trip infringing on a pair of young lovers." He greets while jabbing at the pair and grinning. Though Rivers' smile fades and he raises an eyebrow as a white haired man suddenly announces his 'conquests' and cannonballs into the pool, this time Rivers was ready and he hops away from the water bringing the small talking cat with him before setting it down again and looking at the the man standing tall.

Well he's got confidence. Rivers mused he had to give him that, but his attention was drawn to the final person to arrive on the scene. What the hell is Serenity doing here? And how did someone like her get past a platoon of tired guardsmen?

Though he had to admit, he was not disappointed to see her here, thought he moment she started talking he knew there was going to be trouble. This was confirmed when Aria walked over and started harassing her, apparently having taken insult.With a sigh he walks over and as he gets close Aria kicks the girl to force her into the spring. Rivers steps onto the water, walking upon it and catches Serenity before she falls in, looking back at Aria with a tolerant expression.

"Calm down Boss, and don't make those kinds of threats until you at least know what you are implying." He warns with an almost brotherly tolerance. His eyes shift to Serenity. "I'd suggest you either roll with it or give up." he suggests before carrying her back over onto the side and stepping off of the water.

[Deleted]

After coming to her sense, she caught what the woman said finally recognizing her as the lady who up a bag over her head. Seeing her now in a different situation she seem like any old woman looking for some nice alone time with the one she loves, and her and Rivers had totally ruined that moment.


Looking at Rivers she nodded her head, after all, the springs did have a calming affect on her. "Well the springs are nice, and I do like to stay clean more often than not." She replied to Rivers, as she watch Starlight nodded her head in agreement. "And Star like it as well."


She was about to leave the springs and apologize for interrupting they sweet tender moment between lovers. When another person appear this time a woman, based on the way she was dress along with the way she was addressing the man she takes that she was a soldier. She almost felt sorry for him, but knowing that he didn't have them set up a proper camp she could see why the woman was upset.


She was going to go and hide under the water when another voice echoes though the spring, looking up she noticed that it was Diamond.


Her thoughts were in a whirlwind at the moment, not only was the person who the Goddess paired her up with her. She was naked in the spring, with two other people. One guy was laughing his ass off at the situation and an angry looking woman who kinda look like a banshee with her angry. Hearing him mention that they did almost mate, cause her to blush and make her thankful she wasn't human or else she would have changed 10 different shades of red at that moment. "Well... that that was under different circumstances. I am sure under normal one we wouldn't have even gotten that far." She said trying to keep the blush down.


Glancing at Starlight she saw the cat smirking. Stupid cat, if only she wasn't her companion or she would drown the cat where she was right now. Her eyes turn back to look at Diamond as he resurfaces in the springs. Her eyes couldn't tear away from his form, it was the body of a trained warrior for sure, she only wished that the ripples in the water wasn't blocking the rest of the view. A purr left her as she continue to check out Diamond's body, "And if I do?" She said purring softly.


Finally another person came to the springs, she didn't like the red head from the moment she enters, but she wasn't going to let it get to her. Moving closer to Diamond almost instantly and protectively as if she had already claimed him as her own she eyed the woman. Her mouth open wide when the woman mentions an orgy between human and beast. She wanted to claw the woman's face off for calling them beast.


Sadly Aria seems to beat her to it. Not that she cared, but it did let her calm down and come to her sense. Feeling embarrassed again she moved behind Diamond, looking around him at Starlight. "You okay Star?"


Seeing her shake her head, as she licks the water out of her fur, before giving up and jumping into the springs. Shaking her head at the silly cat, she turned her eyes to the new red headed woman. "You shouldn't call people a beast. That woman there is right." She said shifted her eyes to Aria then back to her. "You're more of a beast than we are with the way your behaving."

[Garrett Blade]

It's funny how the brain works when forced into a unfamiliar situation. Take Garrett's brain process for example. After years of cruel and unusual torture brought on by his biological mother in his own time and world. Garrett had developed a bit of a phobia around women. The very sight of a naked woman would normally cause him to flinch an freeze up into a statue like state. However, after recent years of spending time with Aria and her strange fascination with torturing him by transformation-nudity flashes... His reaction time was delayed in half. This time only freezing up completely when Aria's skin made contact with his own. Her entrance catching him off guard an now in a terribly awkward situation.

The greatest thing about being in statue state, is that the person is completely oblivious of the world or situation around them. Much like how Garrett was when Rivers, Aimee, Diamond, and even one of his own recruits had found him with a very nude Aria in his arms. Poor Garrett, Oblivious of the teasing going on around him or the fact Aria had realized the awkwardness of their current situation far too late than he. His soul slowly slipping out from the cracks of his lips for barely a second.

The teasing was not what snapped Garrett back into reality. No, not even when Aria crawled over him to greet Serenity's insult. His head sharply turned an his vibrant blue eye locked with Serenity's own as he gave a sharp glare at her bestiality comment. However, he didn't keep his eye on her long. A small smile slowly formed as he reached over to grab the undershirt he had taken off earlier. With a heavy sigh he placed the cloth over his lap before turning his focus back on Serenity.

" Well this was a private bath to begin with. However, I'm not one to turn away company. After all you never know who you run into in the bath after all.... But, I find your comment slightly disturbing to myself... You see... Be it man, woman or beast. Though I'm surprised that you call this a 'orgy' when no flesh has penetrated another before your eyes. An a orgy among beasts and man, now that is something to witness... To bad I see no beasts here other than that comment. " Garrett sighed, turning his gaze to the rest of the people that he suddenly became aware of.

Wow, the springs was a popular spot this year. Possibly the fact spring was in the air and people were out more due to the 'weather'.... Yeah... That's what he was going to tell himself to ease that creepy feeling of that blonde hair 'demon woman's' work.

" Well looks like I've been found out, Well Seanait you're more than welcome to join." He paused, glancing back at Aria with a shrug. "I never knew Aria got this much around. " Garrett smirked leaning back to relax against the bank, legs crossed with the shirt still covering over him, taking note of everyone around him.

[Deleted]

Diamond was not exactly sure how to rebuttle Amiee on the fact that she liked what she saw. "Well that's good" he said and then sat down in the hot spring. Enjoying the warm water and was soaking in it and had a relaxed sigh. He had missed this kind of feeling since he left from the far east. The redhead named Aria spoke to him and asked if they met before. He does and nods his head "Yes, I think it was at the Gallows Inn. Small world is it not, I think your name was Aria right" he said to that redhead and then heard another person come up. This one though was a priss pot and well a prude and that did sour the lively moment his gaze flicked over to Serenity and gave a death glare that was honed over his years being a mercenary. "Really miss, you can always shut the hell up and leave. Also your being a bit of a racist git as you insulted this lady here. The good ser here does point out there has not been any fornication" he said and pointed at Amiee and then to Garret.

"Well whatever you got more then enough of a tounge lashing. Now I need some wine now, hell some sake would nice right about now. So you ser, you seem to be a seasoned warrior. Were'nt you at the tournament of champions" he said as the white haired male had recognized Garret from somewhere but his memory was hazy on this aspect. He also felt Amiee come around and get behind him, this did worry him slightly as he could feel some kind of possessive hold from the cat woman. What did he get into, when he signed up on that matchmaking thing by Ai.

[Serenity Caine]

Serenity flinched as the red head drew near her, not enjoying the close proximity. Her words had just fallen from her mouth without thinking- she really had to work on that. The small woman's words hit her hard, but she didn't show it. She was caught off guard when she suddenly went flying, heading straight for the water. She scrambled to hold her breath, cover her face, forgetting for a moment about her dress and her hair- neither of which she wanted to get wet. She prepared herself for the change in temperature as she hit the water- but it never came. She landed in someones arms, and was brought back to the ground, instead of the water. Someone hadn't taken her words to harshly and wanted to help her- but who?

Serenity opened her eyes and glanced up at her saviour. Rivers? She blinked in confusion and gripped onto Rivers' arm, clearing her throat. Ahem... Thank you Mr. Rivers... Her voice was a whisper, quite embarrassed with herself. She more than heard the backlash of words from the rest of the people around them, all offended by her. She'd certainly screwed up any chance of finding friends here. Did she want to find friends? Well, she certainly didn't want to live the rest of her life in Teair alone. So far the only real friend she thought she had was Kail. Apparently Rivers wasn't so far off either. Aside from them, there was Sai, but that was subject better left untouched.

Her hazel eyes glanced around her, seeing the angry faces of every one, telling her the same things over and over. She had been wrong- she'd no right to assume, and use a racist term. For her, "beast" had never been considered racist, not where she was raised- but she had to remind herself that this wasn't England- hell this wasn't even Earth. Beasts-no, magic and animal like people, were normal here. Even after the amount of time she'd been here, she was having trouble wrapping her head around it. She closed her eyes again, feeling herself tremble slightly, holding in tears. Would she ever learn to stop being a raging bitch? Probably not.

I should probably leave.. Thank you Rivers. Her voice remained at the same level; just less than a whisper for Rivers, but she wasn't naive to think that the others couldn't hear her. She was rattled enough from the situation that she hadn't noticed she dropped her formalities, calling him simply Rivers, instead of Mr. Rivers. True, it was completely her fault that she was in this situation, but she wasn't used to having such a backlash towards herself. She was more than thankful to have Rivers here, despite not knowing him very well, having only met him once previously.

Once again she cleared her throat and looked up slightly to the group. I... I apologize. I- She looked down again, her words getting caught in her throat. Apologies were not something she was good with, and though she knew it was doubtful, she hoped they heard the sincerity. It was a long shot, but she did feel remorse. Why something snapped in her head for her to feel this way, she had no a clue.

[Deleted]

Aria sighed, a bitter sweet smile on her face as Rivers said he’d preform for her grave.

”Well then here’s hoping ol’ Zepon will let me out of the realm of dead in order to hear it.”

Aria let out a loud string of laughter as a wave of water ended up soaking the annoying bard. Served him right, she suddenly liked the strange naked man a bit more now. Aria nodded when he asked if he had gotten her name correct.

”Good memory, yes it’s Aria. Diamond if I’m remembering right.”

Aria however was a bit annoyed at the fact Rivers had caught the girl, a pout finding its way on her lips. Really there was a feeling of dissatisfaction of not hearing a splash. She snorted a laugh when Garrett said you never knew who’d you find at the spring, really that was the understatement of the century. However her look turned that of surprise when he went and tongue lashed the other red head. Had she ever heard him insult a woman before? A blush bloomed across her face, and the tips of her ears burned red at the mention of any flesh penetrating another.

”….definitely not….I would hate for my first kiss aaannd my virginity to be both lost accidently…..”

Aria mumbled more to herself then to anyone. Really it wasn’t very loud though considering her proximity to Garrett he more or less would hear it. However she did look up at Garrett with a strange look…one eyebrow raised. Was seeing that sort of thing up his ally? …. Well ….to each his own she guessed. When he looked back down at her she stuck her tongue out at his teasing. She was at least glad that he put a shirt over himself, made things a little less awkward. Aria just scrunched her nose at him and smiled at his teasing, he very well knew she got around. It wasn’t anything new.

"I get around enough that apparently the Kings not letting  me around the castle for a while.... wrong time wrong place story of my life...but I meet so many interesting people"

Aria turned her attention back to Diamond when he said they should have some wine.

”…In my experience drinking here usually ends up horribly awkward.”

Aria looked back over up at Garrett when Daimond asked if he was at the tournament.

”That’s right you were supposed to be there, what happened? I got done my fight with Jeon and didn’t see hide nor hair of you.”

The conversation took a detour as the red head whom expertly managed to piss them all off seemed to recognize her mistake. She recovered however with a sincere apology, which made Aria turn and look her in the eye. Any venom she had for the woman clearly gone as she nodded accepting her apology.

”A sincere apology is always welcomed; you have my forgiveness. If there are no more insults your welcome to join us since you already seem to know Rivers.”

Aria looked over at Rivers with raised eyebrow, asking a silent question on whether or not this was the red head he had been reporting to her on. Aria looked back over to the cat woman who was hiding behind Daimond with an amused expression.

”So Amiee I haven’t seen you since one of my acquaintances let you out of the bag.”

[Deleted]

Séanait couldn't help but smile as she watched the comedy of errors play out in front of her. She nodded at Rivers, playfully flipped off Diamond when he made his comment about her arse, and waved to Aria. Serenity she watched curiously, wondering how things were going to turn out here for the woman. She'd obviously put her foot in it with her comments - not that Séanait didn't necessarily disagree with the "beast" sentiment - but everyone seemed to be willing to more or less forgive her and invite her in. It was a shame Serenity hadn't taken an impromptu bath, however. Quite apart from being funny as hell, Séanait could have helped her dry her clothes. There was no harm in looking, right?

When Garrett mentioned that she was welcome to join in and that he hadn't known how much Aria had gotten around, Séanait couldn't help but return the smirk as her fingers automatically went to the chin strap of her helmet. It would be nice to get out of all this sweaty, heavy armour and have a bath, and there were plenty of attractive men and women around for her to feast her eyes on. She glanced down at the shirt covering Garrett's lap and thought about what a shame it was. Then she remembered why she had followed him and sighed, fingers leaving the buckle.

"Much as I would love to, sir, I think at least one person needs to maintain some kind of military discipline."
