Ladies Night (Scene/Episode 2) Tajuri/Jael/Kris

Returning to the guest suite level of the Octagon Tower, Tajuri and Kris head toward their respective rooms for a bit of downtime and to ready themselves for the rest of their free evening.

Coming out of a haze of inner reflections, Taj turns at the sudden flash of movement she sees in her right periphery. "Oh. Didn't see you there. Hi. Lady Amani. Nice work out there in the arena." She reaches for the handle to her room's door and pauses there with her slender hand on it. "You should come along to the tavern with Jael and me if you don't have any plans."

Kris looks over to Tajuri. "How soon are you thinking of going? There's a tavern nearby? I need to find where the baths are in this place first. I feel like I need one after my travels to get here last night and now the trial with Lucian."

Taj grins. "I was thinking of a nice bath myself. There's no rush. Yes. Jael and I found the tavern earlier. Its called The Runeblade." She replies and then gets a quizzical expression. "Your suite doesn't have a bath? How strange. Mine has an adjoining room. I found there to be a lovely bathing pool and walk-in closet inside."

She waves Kris over. "Come. I will show you. You're welcome to join us...if you'd a mind to."

Putting her hands on hips, Kris moves over to where Tajuri is. "Oh...really? You have a private bath? Huh. I've got to see this."

With her curiosity piqued, Kris accompanies Tajuri into her quarters, where the two are immediately joined by Jael, who hops off the large bed upon seeing them enter.


"Well. This is an pleasant unexpected surprise." She says, approaching Taj and kissing her lightly on the lips.

Looking over to the smaller door within Tajuri and Jael's room, Kris then turns and smiles at the pleasure demon's greeting. "Hello, Jael..isn't it? Lady Shadowmoon was just telling me about this luxurious bathing room you two have in your suite. Is it true? I have to see..."

With Jael close and affectionately at her side, Taj moves over to the smaller door and opens it to reveal the large bathing pool in the center of the room and the closet space that surrounds it. "Here it is! Take a look for yourself. I was considering a bath and outfit change myself before going out. If you'd like, you could join us? The pool is large enough to accommodate."

True to her word, as Kris peeks in through the open doorway she sees a private bathing pool and extensive closet.

Kris stares at the sight before her, hands on hips. "Well. Damn! You say you would not mind sharing a bath? I'd be grateful and not having to track someone down to locate another."

"I will ready the bath, my Princess." Jael says. "It will only take a few minutes." She adds, including Kris.

Kris stops and considers for a moment, then nods here head. "Yeah. Let's do this. Why not. We're all in this situation together, right? Everyone will eventually learn all of my secrets anyway."

With only a brief hesitation, Kris disrobes and places each of her garments carefully on a shelf in the huge closet. The last item is a rather plain appearing headband. When she pulls it off, she instantly transforms from the teenish brunette, into a still very youthful Human female with flowing white hair. Her features are relatively the same, but a slightly older version.

Taj openly admires Kris' form as she reveals it. "I hope you don't mind. I make no secrets about my interest in the Humanoid female, as my lover here can attest." She drapes a hand over Jael's shoulder.

Tajuri herself peels off the already revealing garments she is wearing and casually climbs into the pool. The steamy waters rise almost to her breasts.

Her eyes widen at Kris' last reveal. "Not to be prying, Lady Amani, but why the deception? Your true self is equally as lovely."

Kris carefully climbs into the pool and feels around for a possible seat beneath the water. Finding one along the side, she sits down submerging herself up to the shoulders in the steamy water.

"Thank you for your compliment, Lady Shadowmoon. It is much appreciated. I was mostly unaccustomed to positive words regarding my appearance, my intellect, or my abilities until leaving the world I had grown up in."

"My hair began to streak and change to white while I was in the academy. I suppose its a result of my studies of demonology and dealing with otherworldly beings from the profane reaches. I did not want more negative attention. So I began wearing magical disguises."

"You are among friends here, Kris. May I call you Kris? And..you can call me Taj or Tajuri. Its just us here. No need for formalities on my part." Tajuri comments. "At least in our company you should never have to worry about negative reactions for being yourself."

Kris, certainly not used to so much attention, glances down into her own reflection in the waters of the bathing pool. "Okay. Thank you, Tajuri and Jael. With your companionship this evening out, I will try to step out of my comfort zone and make an appearance as I truly am."

She washes thoroughly in the steamy waters, with cloth and some of the various scented soaps available along the edge of the pool, in shallow decorative trays.

"if you two of you would be interested, later, I plan on having a session with my Oracle cards?"

Jael busies herself soaping up her mistress and washing her, before attending to her self. She smiles at Kris' acknowledgment of their compliments and offers to scrub the young demonologist's back and wash the long white hair that has been revealed to them. "Please?! it would be my honor."

Kris nods. "Thank you, Jael. I don't remember anyone ever offering to wash my hair before or doing it." She glances down into the water again. "The old woman who kept me wasn't exactly the nurturing type."

End Scene

The three continue and then complete their bathing ritual. Perhaps an hour later, Kris, Jael, and Tajuri are ready and leave their rooms to rejoin and head downstairs for an evening out at The Runeblade.

Taj looks over as Kris exits her room and nods. "You look great. Don't worry. Ready? Let's go have some fun."
