…. Appreciate those arms respectfully will save…. Failed. Strong lady hot, time to stare like an idiot.

”U-uhm yeah sure, Next week good?”

"Same time same place? Want me to actually, like, talk to the city and get an event license? They'll probably want their pound of taxes if it becomes a regular thing."

Andrea hisses through his teeth. “Don’t I need like… a legal identity as Garuda for that?” And here he was… on a student Visa, legally not allowed to work for money. He just did a crime without thinking, sorry IRS! Good thing he has pretty bulletproof secret identities. But then how does a secret identity pay taxes…

"...Point. I don't know how that shit works for superpowered people. Probably they get a lawyer about it. Or ignore it until it becomes a problem."

“I think… wait until someone from the city government asks me about it. And for the state… I’m pretty sure the IRS will still want me to pay taxes even without an identity. The IRS even asks that criminals pay taxes on crimes… and the criminals don’t get in trouble if they do. So I’m sure they’ll take money from ‘Garuda’. I guess I’ll do that?” Maybe Andrea is being an illegal right now by technically working on a student Visa, but he’s not a tax dodger!

"...I'm not sure that's how it works, but what do I know. Well. I'll show up again and do harnesses next Saturday, especially at ten percent not five. It's good money and I'll get to see you in action again."

“Dm me on twitter for plans? I’m not sure I’ll be available every week.” And thats basically as good as getting someones number, these days.

"I don't use that site. Discord?"

“How did you know to come here? I only advertised todays event on twitter?” His existing discord has his real name and socials attached! He really needs to make more Garuda alts. “Give me your discord name and I’ll send you a friend request once I have a Garuda account set up?”

"Saw it on a capes forum. Need any help getting home or anything? Muscle massage? I dunno."

He bites his lip hard… a incredibly fit (and so far very nice) girl was offering to massage him… If he was regular Andrea there is no way he would, bit right now he is Bubbly Garuda.

“I mean… if you are offering…” Shy birb.

"Yeah, should help with the soreness! Really gets the blood flowing if you do it right. I have a blanket you can lie on over there?"

Andrea waddles over on slightly shaky bird feet and lies down. Having to have his arm wings splayed out to lie down he thinks might look a little awkward, but nothing he can do about that.

"Gawd, those wings are cool. Powers. Okay, I want to warn you, I'm not exactly a specialist. I just know the general idea and how tense is too tense. I'll keep it to your legs unless you want me to try back and arms too? Medium to hard pressure. Tell me if it's too much?"

Shy nod. Ahhh hot girl is gonna touch him even if its just for a massage this is still more than has ever happened to him! “Last time I had a massage I was like… 11, and definitely not in a headspace to enjoy it at all. So uhhh who knows if I’ll hate it or love it.”

She starts on Andrea's legs, the parts that aren't talons. Feeling out the muscle groups.

"Well, even if it's not exactly fun it's probably good for you. In a stretching kind of way."

Rubbing with harder pressure, along the feather-covered part of her legs that still have tendon and muscle. There's pressure and a stretching sensation. It hurts, as the over-tense muscles that squeeze and open her claws are pressed again. But she can feel the warmth and looseness that the pain leaves behind.

"Lot of knots here. You've been walking on these? They'll adapt. Can't say I've ever had to be this careful of a massage-ee's feet though! Doing alright?"

“Uhuh.” Nodnod.

Is his face flushed? It feels flushed. This is so weirdly intimate, STOP BEING WIERD AND OVERREACTING JUST BECAUSE SHES HOT.

”It is sorta weird how I go from talons to just… human leg though. At least it’s not like some harpy art where it’s distressingly skinny bird legs.”

"You seem to have pretty human anatomy for the most part. And great overall health. Supported by powers weirdness."

Working the tendons and gently moving her talons and legs for maximum safe stretch... (Ow...)

But nice ow? Maybe? He can’t be so down bad that he develops masochism just to keep enjoying this right? A lot of the pain is in his knees from the landing and picking people up constantly. As well as in the feathery calves and radiating up to the back of Garuda’s human thighs. “Pretty sure it’s mostly power weirdness. God I wish I was this hot… I mean fit, normally.” 

"Ain't nothing wrong with wanting to look good! I'm a total gym nut. I work out really hard to keep it. So I'm a little jealous you get it for free, but it's what it is."

It does seem to be a good ow. She still feels sore in the calves, and the deep pressure hurts, but it feels much more relaxed and warm after. She can feel how the air flows over the leg feathers, cool and pleasant.

Victoria doesn't directly work her knees much, more the muscles and tendons around them. 

"I'm almost done. You're holding up well. Trust me, you'll feel much better in a couple hours!"

“Already feels pretty nice” Is he blushing? Gosh being payed so much attention to by this woman who thinks Garuda, she, him, whatever, looks good is really nice. Andrea might be blushing. Maybe if he was still a boy right now he’d worry about getting hard perhaps, so there’s definitely unobvious perks to being Garuda besides being a cute birb girl.

Now Victoria's hands are working her hamstrings. Kneading, hard rubs all the way up her thigh, and circular pressure. Sometimes her hands get close to her butt.

"I have to wonder just how strong you are."

“I can lift a whole person? Pretty easy? But that might be powers bullshit. Even just flying on these wings doesn’t make sense,”

Andrea is now making faces, and the little gasps of pain might sound suspicious out of context, like an anime fight scene. Having his thighs rubbed like this is… it’s an experience alright. And he would definitely be hard in boymode by now. It’s not sexual pleasure its just… having someone this close, and touching those areas. The context. Does this make him gay since he’s a girl right now? He certainly feels gay. And bird instincts keep telling him to pick her up and fly off with her. Which he ignores like always.

The thigh muscles around the back of the legs felt especially tight so it is making Andrea downright squirm. “Wow… I didn’t even know it was possible to feel some of these muscles.”

Victoria sputters out a laugh.

"I'm glad you can still experience the joys of a good workout!"

She pauses the massage.

"...You know what. Can I ask something? And straight drop it and have it not be weird if you say no?"

“Sure?” He would actually prefer not to be kept in the dark about weird social stuff? Being asked is good whatever it is.
