Private Solvale The tiger, the witch, and the wardrobe?

Kaede really was fighting a losing battle if she kept trying to hold back. Grumbling some to herself before she adjusted her posture and walked over to Luna circling her as she heard the purring. The girl had gotten far more bold, while Kaede was over here trying to be less of a pervert towards others knowing most disliked it. Mumbling to herself to not worry so much about other's thoughts as she hugged Luna from behind and reached to the tiger's stomach and whispered in her ear.

"Your just trying to get dragged into a back room aren't you naughty kitty?~ Keep teasing the elf with high emotions who struggled to stay mature and decent in public is going to get a punishment later if it keeps up.~ So save the purrs for later.~"

Kaede was back, for the time being as she reached her hand just a bit further down Luna's stomach but stopped just shy to check if the tiger bothered to full play the top and sock card. Moving to spin her back around as she rested a hand on Luna's chin and pulled her into a kiss. The difference was Kaede was more honest with her facial expression then in the past when the alcohol allowed her to hide it. So she could not hide how it was a little nerve racking to publicly tease her friend, or the worry in her eyes about something.

"As for what I think, it looks great for sleepwear or housewear without guest.~ Let's try to find public cloths though as if your going to be in the game overnight I won't accept anywhere but my house and we both know how that goes.~ Run that fine kitty along for more cloths now and let me admire the sight from every fair angle to keep others from trying to steal a glance.~"

Kaede grinned as she moved back and playfully tapped Luna's rear to hint to run along without changing in hopes to fluster the girl a little in return to help calm herself down. Sure she felt bad for it, but she wanted some fair play even though she was stuck on turbo emotion while Luna was playing normal mode. Humming as Kaede went back to her seat to admire Luna, she missed the woman and was happy to see how someone she knew least went forward and not backwards like she had during the last four years.

Luna cackled as Kaede made her way over and began to warn her about retaliation if she continued, remarking that she'd been trying very hard to be mature and not return to her old tricks. "Haha, you don't have to try so hard to hold yourself back around me, Kaede! It's been a while since we've seen each other after all, so I just want to have fun and spend some time with my old friend. And I kind of just wanted to show you how much I've grown up too, to be perfectly honest."

She wanted a lot of her old friends and contacts to be able to see for themselves just what kind of a transformation her personality had gone through over these long and hard four years. Though as Kaede's hand snaked lower, she would find that Luna had fully committed to only wearing the cardigan and stockings, with nothing underneath at all.

She span with the momentum that Kaede gave her, their lips meeting, though Luna instantly detected the worry and anxiety in Kaede's eyes, which made her smile softly as they broke apart. The tap to her rear made her grin and purr, though she did follow along, making her way to retrieve a few new outfits, though she'd stop teasing Kaede now and actually pick out a few functional outfits.

Kaede would smile hearing Luna's words, slightly more at peace with letting her old self shine but still trying to be a bit more tac about it in public. Moving to take off her gloves and look at the scars and bare skin of her hand, wondering how it would feel against the skin of another after all this time. Could she hold her magic back to avoid harming someone, or would she fail that also. Sighing as she leaned back while getting the gloves back on.

"I can tell you've grown, in more then boldness far as your avatar is concerned.~ Though I will say I sort of miss the more shy Luna, getting to tease a cute kitten rather then a feisty tiger does sound more appealing in my books.~"

Kaede moved to dig around her bag some, humming as she took out a wrapped up outfit and moved into the changing room. If there was one person she would dress up for and show off her little project it would be Luna. Likely around the same time Luna returned with the next outfit Kaede would step out with one of her own to try and get some teasing done herself. The Red dress had signs it was still in the process of being made. Pins holding parts but the main thing that Had her nervous was how it exposed the large black scar over her heart and the other scars.

"Only fair I dress up some also... It's still a work in progress... I want to cover more skin with it but the fabric I need takes a lot of work to get and currently the area does not allow people to cross into..."

Kaede's right arm was slung under her chest holding her left elbow as it rested at her side, nervously glancing up to Luna every so often to see how the old friend felt about Kaede knowing part of what she was hiding. She could only imagine the distain or dislike, or the questions that would come and it was enough to make her move back to change into the more covering outfit if she was not stopped. Why did elves have to be emotion high?!

"You miss how I used to be? Does that mean that you don't like how I am now, as much?" She'd never actually thought that anybody would have preferred the shy, stuttering mess that she had been once upon a time. Though it did make a bit of sense, if Kaede enjoyed the teasing game, than Luna's old self was by far the better target for that kind of teasing. Her ears flattened a bit against her head at the thought, though she noticed, with some excitement, that Kaede picked out an outfit and moved into the changing room herself.

And when Kaede stepped out wearing it, unfinished as it was, Luna felt her heart leap into her throat. Sure, Kaede had some bad scars, including a particularly nasty black one over her heart, but overall the woman was still gorgeous and it had been a long time since Luna had seen that.

"Wow! You made that? It looks absolutely gorgeous on you! Oh my god, I love it! It's the kind of dress I could absolutely see myself peeling you out of." She giggled, taking a few steps towards Kaede and wrapping her arms around the woman in a warm, wholesome hug. "You're absolutely gorgeous, Kaede. Always have been and always will be. A scar or two won't change that. Trust me as your friend when I say that."

Kaede knew enough about pets to read some of the tail and ear movements. She worded it so poorly and it was clearly making Luna sad and she did not know how exactly to make a recovery from it. When she got the compliments though the nervous mess that was Kaede showed up again as her face went red imagining the likely more then statement if things kept going only made it much harder to stay composed. Mentioning the scars though pulled her back to reality.

"It is more what the scar caused and keeps causing that is the issue... But that's not the topic right now..."

Kaede tried to smile, even if it was forced to hint she wanted to avoid the topic currently. Later she would tell Luna what it was meant, but right now she wanted to enjoy a peaceful date before going therapy session with her old friend. Moving to a different room after she got her cloths together to change back to her covered up clothing and avoid one of the placeholder pins from falling out and making it hard to get back if it was even possible since some spots tightly held her frame for a reason and getting it to that and not to far or to loose was harder then making the outfit itself.

"I do thank you for the compliments... And it is not I don't like it as much, just may need to change my approach.~ I've still recalling you as shy and easy to tease, this side seems like I'll have to work to get to see the shy kitten, but a assertive tiger is also more then welcome since nobody likes to try and get me pinned down, or rather kept me there long.~"

Musing as she got back into her other outfit and neatly folded the in progress one back into the bag. One day she would finish it and feel like she could wear it with pride, or maybe when it was done she would give it to someone else to wear it with pride for her. Hand resting over the scar, she doubted there would come a day she could be proud of her skin anymore knowing what monster she shared it with.

The scar was the cause of something? Something that was still happening? Now Luna really did feel concerned, looking at Kaede with naked concern in her eyes, wondering just what her friend had been through that had scarred her so badly and apparently was causing complications even to this day. Still, she could tell that this was a topic that Kaede wanted to avoid for now. Despite her desire to push it, perhaps pushing it in such a public place wouldn't be the smartest decision she could make. It was better to corner Kaede with it in private, where she could feel more comfortable opening up.

"You don't quite have to worry about that. I'm a lot more assertive than I was four years ago. I'm no longer the girl who will fold at anything and everything." For once, she felt like she was actually in control of her life. And control felt good. No longer being afraid of everything and anything. It seemed that perhaps Kaede wasn't as big a fan of being in control as Luna had thought, though.

When was the last time that Kaede had been able to let go of the pressure of being in control and in charge? Did she know how freeing it could be to let go?

"So then, what next? Do I pick out another outfit or do you have something else to show me? I didn't know you made clothes, but now I'm excited to see if you could do more costumes and stuff!"

"Well I sort of needed something to pass the time trapped here and sewing and such was a fun idea to start. Not to mention it let me make some rather, ambitious or flirtish outfits. Frills are annoying to do without a sewing machine... and so is multi layered fabrics like adventure gear but I've been learning and improving.~"

Kaede hummed as she waved at the adventure gear she had on, both stylish on the outside by designed for the daily wear and tear of adventure life she was retiring from for a while at the very least. Her mind drifting to some of the outfits she had made for if she ever got rid of the black scar or it was less noticeable but yet to achieve such goals. Her mind catching the other half of the words Luna had said as she held her head a little and shrugged.

"Up to you if you would prefer to keep shopping for clothing, go back to my house to make me try and outfits you might like to see me in... Or just go to the bedroom and have some fun like the old days.~"

Kaede happily mused as she moved closer to Luna, hand pulling the woman in closer as she would whisper into the girl's ears as best she could.

"Maybe the tiger would like to seen an elven casino bunny, or French maid, or the classic Apron with swimsuit below?~"

Another playful hum as Kaede would let Luna go and gather her things if they would be leaving, heading to pay for everything Luna had tried on and leaving a generous tip for the scene they had started to cause with the on and off flirting they two had done. If they stayed Kaede would happily sit and see any other outfits Luna wished to show on herself, or ask Kaede to wear as she had a plan to make that part a little more interesting. If they would go to turn the changing game to Kaede she would not be leading Luna back to the manor.~

It made sense that Kaede had needed to find a hobby and it was one that Luna wholeheartedly approved of, she just loved the idea of being able to wear clothes or costumes that Kaede had made, or seeing Kaede wearing clothing that she had made herself. If it was an issue of not having access to the right kinds of equipment and machines, that was maybe something that Luna could actually help Kaede out with, and pretty quickly too!

"If you'd like, I can make a magitech sewing machine and some other stuff for you, if you'd like to keep going with that hobby? I'd love the chance to get to flex my inventor muscles a little bit." She didn't really have anything impressive to show the girl yet, but once she had a workshop and materials in place, she was pretty sure she'd have a fairly easy time making and inventing things for Kaede.

"And I'd like to see you in a few different outfits, so let's head to your home!" She was excited to see Kaede's old manor again. Of course, she had no way of knowing that Kaede no longer used the manor as her main home.

Kaede would happily hum and nod at the offer to make the machine, it would open up a large amount of outfits and allow her to improve on several ones she had tried without the right tools to make them. That said though they would be traveling for a little bit and rather then walking Kaede had other plans. Swaying a little as she tossed the idea how Luna might react to things as they got to the edge of town and Kaede pulled a dog whistle out and calmly blew into it.

"About time you met Totetsu... Just... might want to stay a little back she tends to be overly friendly to people when called over..."

The loud bark that followed Kaede's statement made her chuckle a little bit. Not long the forest line seemed to become alive as birds and wildlife scattered in a line approuching where they two had been standing. Kaede moving a bit forward before the bear sized hound broke into line of sight, a bandaged and robed girl following behind it as Kaede was happy to see the puppy and waved while Totetsu sat down and the robbed girl caught her 'breath' even though she did not breath.

"Luna, this is Totetsu... The little Lunatic hound that roamed around the manor at times. And the main reason I have had my hands full each and every day if I did not get help from... well the dead here like Phantom."

Kaede waved to point at Totetsu first for introductions, the large black and blue furred hound happily barking a greeting as the runes of Kaede's magic drifted along the fur slowly. Then Kaede pointed to the bandaged girl who bowed slowly and faded into the earth as Kaede willed it. Moving to hold one arm up to lightly tap it While Totetsu laid down and Kaede hopped on offering a hand to Luna to help her up. Keeping a light grip of the fur as the hound got up eventually and started to run towards the roads that went between towns to avoid knocking off her rider and guest like other times.

"Makes travel easy, so long as Totetsu here recalls I'm riding.~ We got a bit of ground to cover to get to my house but I will say it is more a mess then the manor ever was ha ha.~"
