"Yes, everyone clean! Big bath!" She walks into the bath, gleeful at having the whole thing to herself. She sits down in the main pool and waits for the water level to slowly rise. "Everyone bath!" she says.

He chuckles. Sometimes he worries she is secretly an adult, but sometimes she clearly not.

They follow her.

Undressing while holding a baby isn't easy.

One might notice that Auria has not, in fact, let anyone hold her daughter in a while. Even while she was also holding her son.

Permalink

Liron will help regardless. Liron will need to take a while rising everything off.

None of them have any taboos regarding nudity and undress without any shame. They also don't expect any from their host.

She just left all her clothes outside the entrance to the bath, wanting to not get them wet. She looks at Auria for a moment before splashing in the water, and grabbing a bar of soap. There's a stack of bars in one corner of the room, in various different colors, all packaged individually, thinner than unusual. They're designed to just barely last long enough for one particularly indulgent shower. She has a purple one and rubs it all over herself, producing a delightful aroma of grapes, as she enjoys bathing with the strangers. She ducks her head under the water once or twice, casually holding her breath for 3 or so minutes before resurfacing.

Permalink

Aw, what a sweetie. Auria grabs a bar and mimics her cleaning process on herself.

Permalink

"Is the water safe for her to breath?" Esdras asks Liron.

Permalink

"I am not sure about the soap, but she can breathe water already, yes."

Liron feels clean enough to take a deep and then soak in.

Permalink

Esdras nods, he hands over his nephew for Liron to hold, while he does the process of soaping.

Then to his sister. "We should at least rinse all of our forms, do you think you will be able to put her down?"

Permalink

She sighs. "I know I am being silly. Just give me another moment to relax."

Permalink

 

"Alright, I will change now. I want to groom my wings."

He excuses himself to look for a private nook, or somewhere he can shed his skin without being seen.

Esdras will return a minute later with his skin a pale gray-ish beige and dark gray wings sprouting from his back.

Permalink

The girl in the bath looks at Esdras, stunned. She doesn't know what to say, so chooses to just be silent and collect her thoughts, as she enjoys the warmth of the water in the bath. She even swims around a bit in the water.

Permalink

Weird. They don't have Ventari forms here?

Esdras rinses himself again before getting in the water again.

Permalink

Liron watches her wistfully, but he is not ready to shift Voragera, yet.

Permalink

Auria leans her hand on him. This place is so rich. Maybe this is what random peasant get. If so, she can't picture what the ruler's palace looks like.

Permalink

Candace keeps her eyes on Esdras, wanting to understand how his magic works. She has rinsed herself off well enough, and is now swimming back and forth in her end of the pool, letting the water seep into her skin and enjoying the warmth.

Permalink

Esdras isn't sure how to interpret those looks. He opts to make his wings look smaller? Holding them closer to his body.

He doesn't show any other overt sign of magical power.

Permalink

Liron declines to change for now.

Permalink

Auria procrastinates about it, but eventually decides to stop being a coward and just go and change. It's a just minute.

She returns also be-winged.

Permalink

"Cool!" Candace blurts out. She wants to ask them about how that's possible, but the language barrier remains for everything but the most basic of communication. She thinks about whether she wants to try touching the wings, but ultimately decides against it, instead sitting back and seeing if anything else new and surprising happens.

Permalink

Auria can at least notice the mildly exciting tone. And - quite opposite to her brother - will instead offer a wing in case Candace wants to touch it.

Permalink

Candace gently touches the wing, thinking that it could be a trick of some kind from these mysterious people. She still hasn't managed to think about anything more to say than "wow, are you magic?", but she keeps the thoughts to herself as she pats the wing.

Permalink

The language barrier is still there. But the feathers are nice and soft. "You guys don't have Ventari forms here?"

Permalink

Candace doesn't understand Auria's words, but just enjoys the soft feathers. "No magic", Candace says, trying to explain that humans don't have the ability to shapeshift! But she suspects that they're quite far from having learned enough to understand what she's trying to communicate.

Permalink

They haven't even figured out the complete absence of magic! Given how everything here is sufficiently advanced to be indistinguishable from it to them.
