Another soft chuckle escaped Vina's lips as Harper give an almost tsundere response to the vixen's honest question, clearly unwilling to openly admit that she was enjoying the massage. Vina wasn't entirely sure what was going on inside of the martial artist's mind at the moment: did she simply struggle to fully open up about her feelings, or was it something else? Regardless of the answer, Harper's body spoke the truth that was unwilling to pass her lips, and the druidess was happy to feel that her friend, lover, and patient was responding well to the treatment.
She did also notice that, despite Harper clearly being inexperienced when it came to matters of love and pleasure, she wasn't exactly squeamish regarding physical contact: usually Vina needed some time to get her partners used to such intimacy, but now that they were actively going at it Harper seemed to accept her touch without a second thought.
It was certainly beneficial, as it meant that Vina could focus on her work without having to deal with Harper stiffening up or shifting away from her slender fingers. On the other hand, it did mean that if Vina wanted to provoke a more interesting response she'd have to put in a bit more effort... or find the few weaknesses Harper wasn't able to get rid of thanks to a lack of familiarity.
When she reached Harper's ears and the tigress almost immediately tensed up Vina's smile widened, and if her azure eyes weren't closed a mischievous sparkle would have been visible. As it was she made sure to cover Harper's ears gently but thoroughly, making sure there were no faded wounds left for her to tend to before she lingered for just a bit longer to play with the fluffy appendages.
The base of the tail was something Vina had been looking forward to: she wasn't entirely sure why, but almost every beastfolk reacted strongly to that spot. She herself was no exception, and once Harper proved herself to be in the same boat the playful vixen would carefully give the base of the tigress's tails several strokes before moving on, fingertips lingering on that sensitive spot for a teasing moment.
While Vina was serious about this massage focusing on removing her friend's scars the truth was that she couldn't resist the urge to be a bit of a tease as well: cuddling the beautiful, strong tigress like this was quite the treat, and Vina wasn't the type of person who'd stay fully professional if it wasn't 100% necessary.
Which was how her fingers ended up encroaching upon Harper's breasts and crotch, exploring both to make sure there were no scars there either... and to gently rub the nipples and run along the length of Harper's slit, ever so softly brushing against the clit hidden underneath Harper's fur coat before pulling away.
That changed, however, when Harper "threatened" her. The vixen opened her eyes, the mischievous sparkle now revealed as she tilted her head slightly.
Her hands returned to Harper's most sensitive spots, one stroking the base of the tigress's striped tail while the other slowly spread her friend's lower lips, rubbing the pink flesh between.
After several seconds she pulled her hands away and resumed her work, confident that Harper understood her intent. Below them the tavern was slowly becoming quieter, the night dragging on and the patrons one by one leaving the establishment behind to return to their own homes... or heading for the other rooms, footsteps passing by the door leading to the two naked, snuggling beauties or falling short to enter a room closer to the staircase.
Vina nodded as Harper presented her perspective, once again humming softly while she slowly finished her work. There had been many scars on Harper's body, but fortunately most of them had been shallow, and even if it felt like they'd only been there for a moment time had still passed.
Every hero deserved to have somebody looking after them. As Vina spoke her hands moved towards the last scars she hadn't tended to yet, caressing them to restore them to soft skin covering well-trained muscle. Underneath her experienced touch Harper's physique remained strong and resilient, but also returned to the unblemished wholeness she'd enjoyed when she first stepped foot in this world.

I'm glad to hear it~ Just let me know if I'm doing something wrong, or if you just want me to focus on something else~

Is that a promise Harper~? I wouldn't mind if you gave me a little bit of payback, you know?

I admire your willingness to put yourself in harm's way to protect others. In that sense I don't think these scars are bad at all: they're proof of your heroism. (She looked at Harper fondly.) But they're still uncomfortable, aren't they? I wouldn't tell you to stop helping others, so I can't keep you from gaining new scars: but I can make sure they don't stick around for long. The people you save will remember you with or without physical marks~
